The Wildcats are 6-point underdogs against San Diego State University for their first game of the 2022 season.They are also set at +50,000 odds to win the Pac12 Championship, accord ing to Fanduel Sportsbook.
ESPN’s Football Power In dex ranks Arizona as the No. 91 best team in the country while having a 8.9% chance to win six games.
BY RYAN WOHL @Ryan__Wohl Dear reader, Iam Ryan Wohl, the Sports Editor here at the Daily Wildcat. This is my third year working at the Wildcat and second year as an editor. I am excited for this upcoming sports year as it should be action-packed.
Arizona’s schedule to start the 2022 season is not the most difficult, having three home games at Arizona Stadium.Thetwo road games dur ing that stretch are their home opener at SDSU and in Berkeley, California to face off with the Univer sity of California, Berkeley during the fourth week of collegeWeeksfootball.sixthrough nine are extremely tough for the Wildcats because they play the University of Oregon, the University of Washing ton, USC and the University of Utah before heading to the Rose Bowl to play Chip Kelly and UCLA. Since the Wildcats only won one game a season ago, it will not be too difficult for them to put together a better year starting with the Aztecs.
Jedd Fisch will have his second home opener as Arizona’s head football coach on Sept. 10 at Arizona Stadium against Mississippi State University from the SEC powerhouse.Thisyear’s football team has everything a fan could want to see: a good quarterback room, elite wide receiver potential and a top25 recruiting class in the country waiting to make their college debuts. But it doesn’t just stop with football, the Arizona soccer team is already off to a hot 2-0-1 start and the volleyball team is undefeated at 3-0. One of the best events of the year is quickly returning with the Arizona men’s basketball team’s Red-Blue game. That is happening on Sept. 30 in McKale Center. Both the women’s and men’s basketball teams should be very good again after the women went to the second round and the men made it to the Sweet Sixteen during March Madness. Make sure to check out each story in this print edition to get caught up with all things Arizona football and more.

Arizona finished 1-11 overall but broke the longest active losing streak on Nov. 6, 2021, against the University of California, Berkeley. It will go down in history being the first day in 763 days that the Wildcats won a football game. The final score was 10-3, ending in the student section rushing the field to celebrate the team. The students would like to have this feeling of victory again. A pre view into the upcoming season con sists of a top recruitment class that will hopefully change Arizona’s fate. This year, Arizona signed four-star re cruit Tetairoa McMillan. According to 247Sports, McMillan is ranked No. 2 in the Pac-12 and No. 51 in the nation. As a wide receiver, he should serve as a large threat to the other teams, hopefully se curing the Wildcats some much-needed points for their sake.

A clean record allows head Arizona football coach Jedd Fisch to keep last season in the past.
Arizona tied down Jayden de Laura, a transfer from Washington State University. De Laura was named Pac-12 Offensive Freshman of the Year 2021. He is quick and sees the field, and he will be a useful asset in future games. Fisch signed a 22-man high school class and took seven transfer portal players, creating a deep roster of high ly recruited athletes. This upcoming season is looking bright. The football field was torn up this summer and was replaced with new turf as well as new locker rooms. The first game of the season is against San Diego State University on Sept. 3. Last year Arizona lost 38-14 against SDSU. In hopes of revenge, Arizona has been training extremely hard, leading up to this game. The following two games after the SDSU game should be interest ing considering that Arizona didn’t play those teams last year. With a new regime, field and locker room, the team is ready to go. with new DELANEY PENN
THE DAILY WILDCAT
Hopes were high last season with bringing a new head coach into the program, but the Arizona football team quickly realized that it was a year of rebuilding. Jedd Fisch is a highly re spected man, having coached in the NFL and previously coached at a col legiate level. The team appeared to hit a wall, only securing one win last season.

Christy has an idea in mind whether the team wins or loses and collects any additional photographs they may need to capture the full experience.
“Football game day is probably one of the busiest and longest days for our photography department,” Christy said.
The UA’s first home game will be against Mississippi State University on Sept. 10. My job is to be the gatekeeper for this period in history and hand the keys to the next person.”
Christy was the photo editor at the Daily Wildcat during the fall 2008 semester and then took the journalism route in school, taking several journalism and photo classes, including some with professor Kim Newton.Onceeverything is set up for game day, Christy breaks down what photographing the game day requires.“Thetop necessary element is the best sports action, the peak moments, recording the history of the game for posterity and for history. Beyond that, we want to document that scene,” Christy said.
— MIKE CHRISTY, DIRECTOR OF SPORTS PHOTOGRAPHY “
When it comes to football, many think about the coaches, players, cheerleaders and the band as the key members of making a game exciting and fun; however, other individuals on the scenes and behind the scenes help immortalize the game and capture moments that people may want to look back on once they graduate.
Christy finds answers to the questions of “What’s the atmosphere in the stadium like?” and “What’s a wide angle view from all the way up top when the teams’ running out?” when figuring out where to take photos.
“In our approach to photography, we always aim to answer the question of ‘What was it like when fill-inthe-blank happened?’” Christy said. “Arizona Athletics photography does not begin nor end with me. ... My job is to be the gatekeeper for this period in history and hand the keys to the next person.”
Meet the sports photography director at the University of Arizona
“We kind of divide and conquer. I’m the director of photography, so I’m mostly in charge and the first person our social teams and [sports information director] teams go to for live game action photography. We have the capability to send photos directly from our cameras over to a Wi-Fi hotspot I keep in my pocket,” ChristyChristysaid.eventually became a sports beat photographer with the Daily Wildcat and ended up going to the 2011 NCAA Tournament when the men’s basketball team made it to the Elite Eight. In the few hours before kickoff, he and the team fan out to assess the situation.
COURTESY OF MIKE CHRISTY | ARIZONA ATHLETICS
Michael “Mike” Christy, the director of sports photography at the Arizona Athletics department, knows exactly how to do that.
The day usually begins with a Costco run. “[I’m] getting water, getting snacks and usually getting to that room three to four hours ahead of kickoff, and start setting up tables, assigning seating positions for where photographers are gonna sit and edit from, make sure there’s space, make sure there are plenty of roster cards available,” Christy said. Christy is a 2006 graduate from Cienega High School in the Vail School District and initially saw photography as a hobby. He initially applied to the School of Art at the University of Arizona but was denied and decided to go the business route instead.

“‘What’s the tailgating situation look like? Where are fans having fun? Are the teams about to arrive for the Wildcat walk?’ We get into position so we can photograph that from a couple different angles,” Christy said. “Somebody will be up top in the stands shooting down on it, and then somebody might be down next to the fans who have their hands out for high fives shooting and covering that.” Christy interned with the Arizona Daily Star and was hired full-time as a staff photographer after he graduated. He worked with them for seven years until the position of photography coordinator at Arizona Athletics opened in 2019.

“We try to cast a wide net a week leading up to the game from all departments asking, ‘Hey is there anything particular you need to photograph?’” he said. He called it a privilege to document the athletic program’s history.

UNIVERSITY OF ARIZONA HEAD coach, Jedd Fisch, watches his players as they run a play at Arizona Stadium on April Fisch is his second year as head coach of the Wildcats.
8 • The Daily Wildcat Football Edition ● September 2022 HEAD COACH OPINION: Jedd Fisch is ready to prove the doubters wrong in year two
9.
It has been over a year since Arizona’s football program has changed and the future looks brighter. When Jedd Fisch came to Tucson in 2021, he had one message to his group: IT’S PERSONAL. That message is a lot deeper than its typical meaning. The Wildcats only won one game last season, but that doesn’t tell the full Improvementstory. was shown each week and in every game, even in embarrassing losing efforts against University of Colorado Boulder and NAU. Fisch had a tremendous offseason, where he had Arizona’s 2022 recruiting class ranked inside the top-25 in the country according to 247sports. That included Arizona’s best single prospect in program history, Tetairoa McMillan who is a very talented wide receiver. This was also Arizona’s best recruiting class since 2006. Behind the top recruit class and improvement throughout the overall roster including two new quarterbacks, the energy and vibe around the team is just different this time around. There is more of an intensity because now it is serious, and the coaches and veteran players that remain know that they have to be game ready all the time. When Fisch arrived in Tucson, he knew it was going to be a journey and that things might not change overnight but that the program will be moving in the right direction for the future. Before the 2021 season, sportsbooks had Arizona at an over/under of 2.5 games. Most analysts and those covering the sport thought the Wildcats would win one or two games.Aseason later and that win total has been raised by one game and is at 3.5 games. This time, more people think they will go over the projected 3.5 games. Arizona just had a player named to the preseason All-American team with starting kicker, Kyle Ostendorp. Fisch is a very positive motivator and the exact person that this program has needed for many years. Even after the losses last season, Fisch would always look for the positives and try to keep his team on the rightTheretrack.ismore change on the horizon with a possible move to the Big-12 in the coming years. After UCLA and USC made a deal to move to the Big-Ten conference in 2024, rumors for the remaining Pac-12 schools future home began. Arizona has made itself a school that will be valuable for other conferences when making additions.Thisisbecause of the position that Fisch has brought them to. He took a depleted program that won four games the previous two seasons to a team currently that has a purpose and an excellent foundation for winning.Whether the Wildcats win seven games or four games this season, Arizona has finally got their head coach of the future.

The sophomore transfer from Washington State University, Jayden de Laura, is the front-runner to start as quarterback for the Arizona football team, but that doesn’t mean there’s no stiff competition.Gettingthe majority of the reps behind de Laura are freshman Noah Fifita and redshirt junior Jordan McCloud. Fifita and de Laura both got the start in the scrimmage and were relieved by McCloud and redshirt sophomore, Gunner Cruz. The battle for number two will likely go on all season as Fifita and McCloud both continue to work hard and play well. Although Fifita got more time in the scrimmage, McCloud has proven he can play at a high level in the game which Fifita has yet to have the opportunity to do. Fifita still has to prove himself, but as the current number two continues to get the most reps behind de Laura, we can assume head coach Jedd Fisch sees something in him. Jedd Fisch raved about Fifita in an interview on the Pac-12 network. “[Fifita] has a gravitational pull. He’s awesome; he’s got great energy on the field. When I watched him play live, he could sling it. He throws a beautiful ball and he can run,” FischDuringsaid.the 2021 season, following Cruz’s injury, Will Plummer took on the quarterback position and competed very well. Although he didn’t get many wins, he did get the only win and played well with what he had considering the situation. Plummer also showed he can run the ball well and compete at a high level, which will likely put him in the mix if de Laura and Fifita don’t meet expectations.“Ihaveallexpectations that [de Laura] is going to be our starting quarterback ... It’s really important that [de Laura] gets acclimated with getting snaps from the starting center,” Fisch said.
Arizona’s
The Offensive Pac-12 Freshman of the Year, de Laura, looked dominant and stood out at practice and during the scrimmage as the clear front-runner.
“I mean, just coming into college if you look at my improvements, from spring to now, I definitely improved a lot and that also goes with the competition that I play every day on defense, but definitely I’ll say my speed,” McMillan said.
Tetairoa “T-Mac” McMillan played football, basketball and volleyball at Servite High School in Anaheim, California. There, he was named a high school All-American as he amassed throughout his career 179 receptions, 2,640 yards and scored 34 touchdowns. He was also named the Polynesian High School Player of the Year, as well as the Gatorade California Player of the Year. He had originally committed to playing football at the University of Oregon, but that decision changed when its head coach Mario Cristobal left to coach at the University of Miami in December of 2021. Later that month, McMillan committed to play at the University of Arizona. According to 247Sports, he became the highest-rated football player to ever commit to Arizona since cornerback Devin Ross came to Tucson in 2006. McMillan stands at 6-foot-4, 185 pounds and has a chance to provide some juice in an Arizona offense that desperately needs it. The team only passed for an average of 226 yards per game a season ago, due in part to a revolving door at quarterback as the Wildcats finished with a 1-11 regular season record. While McMillan’s presence will instantly improve Arizona’s wide receiver room, finding chemistry with the starting quarterback will be equally as important. Washington State University transfer Jayden de Laura will have that chance, along with quarterbacks Jordan McCloud, Will Plummer and Noah Fifita currently on the roster.
10 • The Daily Wildcat Football Edition ● September 2022
“T-Mac is all ball. T-Mac loves the game of football and you see it in the way he plays. He’s got a volleyball background, which I think is why he’s so explosive when it comes to catching a ball. His catch radius is unreal. Any ball that’s in his area, he has a chance to get,” said wide receivers coach KevinWhenCummings.askedabout improvements to his game that he’s seen following his first training camp with Arizona, McMillan attributed his overall speed.
The Wildcats have a little more than a week until their opener at San Diego State University on Saturday, Sept. 3, and then we will get a true peek at the changes Fisch has made at quarterback.

NATHANIAL STENCHEVER | THE DAILY WILDCAT DORIAN SINGER, A WIDE receiver on the Arizona football team, returns punts on Saturday, Aug. 20, at Arizona Stadium. The mock game consists of the offense taking on the defense for the night in a friendly scrimmage.
The quarterback starting against San Diego State University in the first game of the season will be a sophomore transfer from Washington State University, Jayden deLastLaura.season with Washington State, de Laura threw for 2,798 yards with 23 touchdowns and nine interceptions. He led the Cougars to seven wins and was named Pac-12 Offensive Freshman of the Year. Backing up de Laura this season will be Noah Fifita, Jordan McCloud, Gunner Cruz, Will Plummer and freshman Cole Tannenbaum.Plummeris expected to miss a good part of the season. Fifita seems to be the current number two followed by McCloud, because Fisch has given Fifita high praise and the majority of the reps at the number two quarterback spot. McCloud on the other hand has already shown in previous years that he can play well during games when he is healthy. Wide Receiver Returning standout receiver for this season is sophomore Dorian Singer. In 2021, Singer averaged about 17 yards a catch and helped lighten the load for Stanley Berryhill III. Also returning will be redshirt junior Jamarye Joiner. In 2019, Joiner had 34 receptions for 552 yards and is looking to bring back that kind of play now that the Wildcats have options with their quarterback.Thebuzzof the offseason practices has been about freshman Tetairoa McMillan. He was placed on the 247Sports True Freshman of the Year watch list after being very impressive in practice and the weight room. McMillan said after the scrimmage, he gained 15 pounds while still being able to gain speed. Under Fisch, it seems most of the team has gained speed, strength and size.
When Jedd Fisch arrived in Tucson to take over as head coach in 2021, there was a new hope for the Arizona football team, especially after the Wildcats lost every game of the previous season. In his time at the University of Arizona so far, Fisch has already led the team to a victory against the University of California, Berkeley, on Nov. 6, 2021. In preparation for the 2022 season, Fisch has made numerous new additions to the roster for key positions such as wide receiver and running back with the biggest change being quarterback. Depending on how each new player performs, these positions could make or break the season for the Wildcats.

Many hopefuls from last year will be returning this season such as Michael Wiley, Jalen John, Drake Anderson and Stevie Rocker Jr. These four backs carried most of the load last season, all having impressive moments, especially Rocker. In the off-season, the Wildcats landed transfer running back D.J. Williams from Florida State University. Williams played with Auburn University before transferring to Florida State and performed well with both schools before transferring to Arizona for his senior year. Freshman Jonah Coleman also made some noise in the scrimmage, running the ball with power. He looks to make a big impact along with the rest of the backs. Football fans will get a better look at the dynamics of these positions on Saturday, Sept. 3, when the Arizona football team takes on San Diego State Universityat the new Snapdragon Stadium.

Brennan Carroll –Coordinator/OffensiveOffensiveLine: Before Caroll was hired by Fisch, he was an assistant offensive line coach for the Seattle Seahawks and got to work with the tight ends and special teams. He later resigned and joined Fisch in 2021, after working together at the University of Miami. Carroll’s extensive time with the Seattle Seahawks gave him the chance to lead their run game for five seasons, during which they were in the top-5 of rushing for three of the years. He also had a handful of their players make multiple Pro Bowl appearances. As an offensive coach, his mantra is keep your mind focused on your single task on the field so there is no confusion on what needs to be done.
Kevin Cummings – Assistant Coach/Wide Receivers: Before joining the Arizona football team’s coaching staff in January 2021, Kevin Cum mings had a successful coach ing career with San Jose State Uiniversity.

Chuck Cecil –Coach/DefensiveAssistantBacks:
DW: What do you think was the hardest part while you were trying out?
WW: The most intimidating part was definitely having to get in-suit and only having seven minutes to show what you can do. It sounds like a long time, but when you’re trying to interact with everyone, trying to be funny and trying to take pictures, it’s so intimidating. You want to prove your point and show what you can do, but it’s not a lot of time.
WW: It’s a huge adjustment for sure, and as a [first-generation] college student, I felt like I couldn’t ask anyone for guidance... Now I have found a good balance, and this is my third year doing it. It’s definitely a job I don’t get paid for that does take up a lot of my time, but they emphasize that school definitely comes first. If I have a game, I want to be in the zone before the game, so I have to wait until after the game to do my work, so there are a lot of late nights, but usually weekends are my free time.
DW: What’s your favorite part about being Wilma? WW: Getting to do things outside of the university, because you get to see a lot of kids who may have never interacted with a mascot before ... For example, I had participated in an All in for Autism drive-in movie and it’s just amazing to get to interact with all these kids who have never really seen us before. It’s a learning experience for me with each new person I interact with ... It’s great to get out there and be with the public and not just students. In a way, we’re not just the face of the university, we’re the face of Tucson.
DW: How do you balance your academics and a social life with your mascot priorities?
Who is Wilma? What it’s like to be a college mascot
MADELEINE
BY TAYLOR QUINN @4180taylor VICECONTE | THE DAILY WILDCAT WILMA THE WILDCAT CHEERS on the Arizona football team during the game against ASU in 2018.
MASCOT INTERVIEW
Daily Wildcat: What inspired you to try out to be Wilma?
Wilma T. Wildcat: There are a lot of people from my hometown who were a part of the mascot program. They had actually messaged me asking if I would be interested because they knew I made costumes. I wouldn’t say it’s a hometown tradition ... but it kinda is. There have been a lot of people from Yuma, Arizona who are or were on the mascot team.
DW: What would you say a week now looks like? WW: A typical week now honestly is around 15 hours of work. We workout with cheer, and we usually have 6 a.m. practices in [McKale Center]. But we do a lot of appearances and not just around the school but also in the Tucson community. Sometimes we even have to go to RightPhoenix.afterclass, I’ve had to drive to Phoenix and go to a Diamondbacks game, or I’ve actually had to go back to Yuma for a wedding. We get invited everywhere! You, of course, have game days, and the Football season is crazy because we get to the stadium around 3 p.m. and are there until 11 p.m. or midnight ... It’s worse when we have volleyball. Because as Wilma, I could have a volleyball game on Friday, football on Saturday, and
volleyball again on Sunday, and that’s not including other appearances we may do.
WW: Do your research because you will be asked history questions about Wilma and Wilbur! Watch a lot of videos. I took the time to watch videos to understand how Wilbur and Wilma interact, how Wilma walks, how Wilma interacts with the president of the university versus a student versus a kid, because they’re all different interactions. Definitely, take the time to know your stuff. Does Wilma’s identity ever get revealed? Though Wilma’s secret is a mystery now, eventually the secret will get out. “It’s usually at the last home basketball game during halftime. [The reveal is] something we all look forward to,” she said. “I’m the 33rd Wilma ... ever! [Taking on this character is] the most amazing college experience I could ask for!”
DW: Any advice you can offer to students who may be considering trying out to be mascot?
18 • The Daily Wildcat Football Edition ● September 2022
Wilbur and Wilma are the heart of the University of Arizona! We wanted to know what it’s like to be the beloved Wilma the Wildcat. From the interview tryout process to a typical week, here is what Wilma has got to say if you’re thinking about trying out to be a part of the mascot magic.Animportant part about being a mascot is keeping the individual’s identity a secret, but that didn’t stop Wilma from sharing her experiences to inspire and inform the next generation of Wilburs and Wilmas. According to Wilma, the process for becoming a mascot starts with a week-long tryout process. This includes general information about a student and what else they are involved in, because being a mascot takes serious commitment. After the application process, an applicant could move onto an interview portion where they get asked scenario-based questions while remaining in character. The tryout process ends with an in-suit audition. They have just “seven realtime minutes ... to show what they can do,” said Wilma. While it is an intense process, the mascot shares that being the face of the university is a worthwhile experience!
Friends ask “Why haven’t I seen you at games before?” and I have to come up with a story on the spot. It’s kinda insane!
DW: Your identity remains a secret. Why is that and who is allowed to know your true identity? Do you enjoy the WW:secret?The identity is a secret because we are trying to keep the integrity of the characters. It’s all about the magic! People are curious, but it’s up to the individual of who they want to share the secret with. And I do and don’t love the secret. There’s a lot of weird people out there. I’ve been stalked or harassed by people who found out not by my choice. It’s pretty creepy. It’s a hard secret to keep though. Sometimes things slip, and you have to play it off. I don’t want to say I’ve become a good liar, but I have.

“My favorite thing about performing during Bear Down Friday is having a good time with my friends,” Runyon said. “I get to be in the stands surrounding the stage with my closest friends and we all get to play music, chant and dance together.”
• This year, the Pride is the largest it has ever been with over 280 members. Typically there are about 250 members.
The Pride of Arizona has a Bear Down Friday tradition where the band performs a snippet of music from its show from that season, which is usually only seen on the football field during halftime or on Band Day in October.Thisyear’s show features “The Music of Silk Sonic,” the musical duo of Bruno Mars and Anderson .Paak. “As far as the show goes, I think it’ll be exciting for the audience. It’s different from anything the Pride has played and it definitely draws in the attention of anyone watching,” Knapp said. To close out each Bear Down Friday, a recording of the UA’s alma mater “All Hail, Arizona” is played over theThespeakers.firstBear Down Friday of 2022 is on Sept. 9, the day before Arizona’s home game against Mississippi State University. Before then, however, the band gets to travel to San Diego, California to cheer on the Arizona football team at its first game of the season on Sept. 3. The Wildcats will be taking on San Diego State University at the school’s brand new Snapdragon Stadium.Thisisthe second year in a row the Pride of Arizona marching band will take part in the opening of a new stadium. Last year, the band traveled to Las Vegas to open the new Allegiant Stadium for Arizona’s game against BYU. The fact that collegiate marching bands rarely travel with their football teams makes this second year occasion all the more significant.“Wewill be performing some of our halftime show in San Diego,” Runyon said. “I’m super excited to march on an out-of-state field again.”After completing its seven-day-long band camp the week before school started at the UA, the Pride of Arizona is ready to bring the spirit this season. “I’m feeling optimistic about [this] season,” Knapp said. “No matter how well the team is performing, I know the piccolos and the rest of the band will show up and keep the energy up.” football hype early with the Pride of Arizona at Bear Down Fridays
• The Pride has been hosting “Band Day” (a high school marching band competition) since 1954, making 2022 the 69th year in a row.
FUN FACTS ABOUT THE PRIDE OF ARIZONA:
• The band first started in 1902 with just 12 members.
The Pride of Arizona marching band starts home game hype early with community pep rallies for the Arizona football team. The night before every home football game, the Marshall Foundation hosts “Bear Down Fridays” at Main Gate Square. Anyone in the Tucson community is welcome to attend the free event, which starts around 4 p.m. Each Bear Down Friday showcases a variety of entertainment for the crowd. Fans can typically expect speeches from head football coach Jedd Fisch, Arizona Athletics Director Dave Heeke, ZonaZoo members and sometimes other University of Arizona coaches.Thereare also several performances throughout the event from the school’s cheer squad and the Pride of Arizona, including its pomline and color guard. “I like getting hyped up and seeing my energy being transferred to other people in the audience,” said Anna Knapp, an Eller College of Management student at the UA and one of the band’s piccolo section leaders. “The band being there is so, so important because we’re the energy and we get the people excited to be there.” Before the performance begins, the band gathers outside of Centennial Hall to warm up with a musical exercise routine. Often, mascots Wilbur and Wilma can be found there taking pictures with fans and dancing along to the music. “We have to make sure everything sounds great for the crowd,” said Kate Runyon, a sophomore tuba player majoring in mathematics at the UA. Once warmed up and tuned, the band begins playing music and marching down University Boulevard at 6 p.m. in a parade block. After a loop around the often packed street, they split up into sections and run up onto several raised platforms framing the main Bear Down Friday stage. This is where they stay for the rest of the night performing and cheering.

ME: What goes in to prepping for game day? MS: I think one thing people don’t really think about is our white shoes. The shoes that we wear on game day get so dirty so fast. Every week I know I have to wash my performance shoes so that they’re white and not grey. Another thing is thinking about washing your hair. I don’t want my hair to be too clean on game day because it won’t hold curl, but it can’t be too dirty because then it will be greasy. Even with spray tans, I time when to get them done. I can’t do it before practice because I can’t sweat, but I also don’t want to have the lights wash me out. It’s just the little things that people don’t think about but shoes is 100% the biggest thing that goes into game day prep. I also like to set up a little area the night before since game days so hectic. I’ll put my uniform, poms, earrings, clean shoes, snacks, energy drinks, makeup and all the other little things that I need to the side, just to make life a little easier.
Makenzie Stratton: Depending on what time the game is, it could be a 16-hour day of dancing. We usually have practice in the morning 8 a.m. to 12 p.m. with the band. We’ll go over any media timeouts, sideline routines, halftime routine and any other little things that could be happening. From there, we have about two to three hours to run home, shower, eat a good lunch and get ready. We meet back at the field to do our Wildcat Walk, which is us introducing the football team back into the stadium. We have tailgates throughout the day, so we travel around and perform. When we have those few hours by ourselves, it’s a lot of mental preparation and relaxing with a good energy drink — we love caffeine on game days.
I think one of the most unique things about our program, specifically, that I didn’t really know going into my freshman year, is how much time we spend with the band. We really are a part of the Pride, and it is a huge time commitment — not only for pomline — but for the Pride as well. So much time and effort goes into every single little detail on game day that makes those days even more special.
The University of Arizona football team opens its season on Saturday, Sept. 10, and that’s game-on for Makenzie Stratton and her fellow UA pomline members.“Assoon as you step out the door, especially in uniform, game day face is on,” Stratton said, a senior and one of two team captains on the line. We caught up with Stratton as the team was weeks into practices for the start of the season. The pomline, the UA’s official dance team, has 24 members and is part of the Pride of Arizona marching band that supports UA athletic teams. Football is arguably the team’s biggest spotlight, with some games regionally and nationally televised. We asked Stratton about how the pomline prepares and her tips on having the best Wildcat game day experience.

ME: What is something fun, special and unique about MS:pomline?
DailyWildcat.com • 21September 2022 • Football Edition
ARIZONA POMLINE
ME: What is something you want fans to know about this upcoming MS:season? Last year was our first season back after COVID-19, so it was difficult to do a lot of things. Now that we’ve had a season behind us, I think the entire athletics program is really ready to jump headfirst into the season and hopefully bring home some Wildcat wins. There’s a bunch of new ideas circulating around and we are really excited to elevate the program.
MS: I think I’m most nervous for taking on the role of captain. It is a lot of responsibility to lead this many girls and even though I’ve prepared for it for so long, it will amaze me everyday how much of a responsibility it is. It’s almost like I have like 23 of my own little kids. Football season is just overwhelming. It’s a never-ending cycle of school, pom, eat, sleep, so that balance is something I’m always a little nervous about. But it’s all good things so it always turns out well. I’m definitely most excited about senior year. Last year best year — I put in so much time and effort these past three, not almost four, years. I love this program so much I’m just ready to go out with a bang.
Megan Ewing: What is your gameday routine like?
BY MEGAN EWING El Inde Arizona
ME: What is the perfect game day itinerary for spectators? MS: It’s always funny to think about the other perspective because I’ve never really experienced any other side of game day other than pomline. I think Wildcat Walk is a great place to start. You get to be a few feet away from the players and see them and the coaches. The band, pomline and cheer also attend. Everyone feeds off their energy and it gets exciting. From there, you have tailgates. I think tailgating on the mall is the best thing. Everyone gets there at like 6 a.m. to find a spot and put up a tent, bus, or even trailer and spend the day barbequing. I think it’s an absolute must, as well as watching kickoff in the stadium. I love Zona Zoo — they’re the biggest supporters and it makes the experience so fun.

I think this is going to be a year full of ups and downs. I predict that Arizona will win seven games this season and lose five. Their hardest game is going to be against USC. I think that they will dominate against North Dakota State University. With all the new top recruits that were added to the roster, I believe that they will play a vital role in their team’s overall record.
My win prediction for the Wildcats this upcoming season is a bowl game win with a 7-5 record. I believe that Jayden de Laura will show out for his sophomore season with 25+ touchdowns spread all over between the three main receivers and receiving backs such as Drake Anderson. 7-5
Follow Sports Desk on Twitter for live game updates and more @WildcatSports
After seeing this revamped Arizona football team at practice during the last few months, I quickly noticed that this group is different from the last two seasons. The quarterback group has struggled throughout the past year but that will be different after adding two talented players with Washington State University transfer Jayden de Laura and freshman Noah Fifita. Arizona drew favorable matchups throughout the first five weeks of the season with three of them being in Tucson. They are currently 6-point underdogs against San Diego State University in week one and if they can pull off the upset that will be huge because Mississippi State University from the SEC comes to town in week two. I believe that they will finish the year with four wins which is a huge step in the right direction after winning just one game during the last two seasons.

As we enter a new season for Wildcat football, here are my predictions for the upcoming season. With our newly assembled team along with some returning players, I believe this team has the chance to make some serious noise in the Pac-12. The Wildcats open their season away at San Diego State University which is always a formidable team. I believe the Wildcats will lose this first game and start the season 0-1. Their next four games are against Mississippi State University, North Dakota State, University of California, Berkeley and the University of Colorado Boulder. I believe the Wildcats will split these four games and after their first five games of the season will be 2-3. Now like I mentioned before I believe this is the year the Wildcats will start making some serious noise in the Pac12, and although I anticipate them having a slow start to begin the season, I do also believe they will turn things up another level towards the second half of theTheseason.Wildcats’ next five games are against the University of Oregon, University of Washington, USC, University of Utah and UCLA. As most football fans know these are some of the best football schools in the Pac12, but I believe this is the year the Arizona Wildcats stand out from the pack.Through this five-game stretch, I predict the Wildcats will go from 4-1 to 6-4 going into their final game of the season against ASU. Now, as many Arizona students know, this game is always personal for both schools, and as of late, ASU has gotten the better of the Arizona Wildcats, but I believe that will end this season. I am predicting the Wildcats will end their regular season with a bang and beat ASU here at home. Finishing their season with a record of 7-5 which will be a huge step up from our 1-11 record last season.

An improved depth chart aided by Jedd Fisch’s acquisitions in the transfer portal will make a noticeable difference from the 2021 roster. Sophomore quarterback Jayden de Laura will also look to stabilize the Arizona offense after transferring from Washington State. My prediction is that they will get wins over San Diego State, North Dakota State, Colorado and ASU.
