I know that the Arizona Wildcats have caused Cal much grief over the years (the Mackovic disaster game springs to mind, as does the DeSean Jackson heel-on-the-sideline game, as well as the epic collapse when Sonny Ykes' nonexistent D allowed Arizona to score like 35 points in the 4th quarter), but I just can't quite summon up much righteous indignation, bile, or dislike for the desert rats. Even in hoops, in the late-'80s at Harmon Gym we'd make fun of Steve Kerr, Jud Buechler ("Nice Hair!") or Tom Tolbert, but it turns out that Kerr is a good person and a great coach, and Tolbert doesn't take himself too seriously.
I wish I had some good material, but my main impression is that it's a school for California kids who enjoy sports and parties. Like taking Chico State and adding Pac-12 athletics. Any good fodder to boost my dislike?
