Sonoran Hot Reads: Arizona hits Hollywood for Pac-12 Media Days

The unofficial start to the college football season is here

The unofficial start to the college football season is officially here...conference media days. The SEC got things started earlier this week, and now the Pac-12 picks things up on Thursday and Friday. The festivities get started at 9 AM PT. Arizona will take the stand at 10:30 on Thursday. Joining Rich Rodriguez in Hollywood are Nate Phillips and Sani Fuimaono

- Phillips will likely have bigger numbers this year because of the loss of Cayleb Jones

- You can bet the most asked question will be about the quarterbacks, but there are several other things that are more worrisome with this team heading into 2016

- The Pac-12’s coaches went to the ESPYs, but Rita Rodriguez stole the show

- The Pac-12 also announced a new student-athlete health initiative

- What will the rest of the recruiting class look like? Gabe answers that, plus tons more because, well, it’s Gabe

- Pokemon has taken over the college football world, and trust me, we’ll have wall-to-wall Pokemon coverage for you

Basketball

- What if Sean Miller didn’t coach? Well, he’d be a Globetrotter obviously. He easily has the least fun job on that list. Dana Altman’s and Bob Huggins’ just oh my god

- Miller may be spending some time right now talking to newly-announced Buffalo transfer Lamonte Bearden, who has Arizona on his short list

- The Pac-12 All-Stars with Kadeem Allen and Chance Comanche are not quite as good as the Australian National Team

- Albany canceled a game at Duke because of North Carolina’s controversial transgender bathroom law

- Jordan Hill agreed to a two-year deal with the Timberwolves

Baseball

- Like it or not, pitch count restrictions are coming, and with the way things are going with younger pitchers, they’re needed

Congrats to future Cat @MitchellM77 on being selected for West Coast Collegiate League All Star Game! #BearDown

Tucson news

- My friend Tanisha Knutzen has been travelling the world like crazy lately, but the more she sees, the more she appreciates this fine little town we call Tucson

- Have you voted in the second round of the Tucson Restaurant Tournament yet? There are tons of matchups that are open for voting right now!

- It’s just flat out wrong that a group of people has to be afraid for their safety as yet another incident involving the Islamic Center of Tucson happened

- Vail teachers are getting a little bump in pay this year

- An Arizona professor’s book is about to become a movie

- Pokemon Go is helping business downtown and on 4th. It’s also helping the library. Having run Reid Park on Wednesday night, I did not see this, but I did see the parking lots full of cars, and the people parked outside Hi Corbett since it’s a gym
