It's a good time to be a University of Arizona sports fan right now. The football team that has givin it's fans years of dissappointment and sadness is currently 5-2 and tied for first place in the Pac-10 Conference.
S0me new faces have emerged from the team and the 5-2 record is the best start that Arizona has had since the 2000 season. It all leads up to this week and Arizona's homecoming week.
The Wildcats will take on the No. 5 USC Trojans in a battle for first place in the conference. Arizona has won its last three previous homecoming games, all coming against top 10 nationally ranked teams.
While football continues to make some buzz around Tucson, the start of the pride and joy of Arizona is upon us. Arizona Basketball.
Official practices started this past Friday and the first exhibition game will take place on...
Another important part of Homecoming week is the induction of the latest class into the Arizona Hall of Fame. Great names will be a part of the 2008 class including swimming superstar Amanda Beard and Wildcat basketball great Jason Gardner.
But one thing that Arizona does well is recognize team acheivments. Along with the great names, the 2008 Men's and Women's Swimming and Diving teams will be recognized as well.
Both of the men's and women's teams won the National Championship earlier in 2008 and one thing about many swimming teams in this nation is the diversity that comes along with the make up of the team.
The Men were led by swimmers such as Jean Basson who is from Johannesburg, South Africa and Nicolas Nilo who is from Bello Horizante, Brasil. For the women, swimmer Leone Vorster from Pietersburg, South Africa help made the team a champion.
