As an aside, NEVER get in between ASU and U of A fans.  There is a hatred there that is very difficult to explain from the outside looking in.  It goes to the political.  Arizona tried to stop ASU from being a full fledged university multiple times.  Even more recently, they blocked an ASU attempt at starting its own medical school.  Then, using the battery that was a U of A loaded board of regents (which governs ASU, Arizona and NAU together), they started a medical school in the same Phoenix area ASU wanted as a conglomerate- Only to run off ASU and NAU before it was even certified.  Despite the fact that Arizona's Tucson medical school is becoming a running joke.  My sister and her husband took offers there from Johns Hopkins, and ran for the hills within a year.  Absolute disaster in multiple fields.  But it's more important nobody else plays ball on their turf, at least until Mayo showed up.  It can get really, really ugly in AZ.



I understand this is a completely unprompted response.  I just think it's very important for other Pac 12 fans to understand that Tucson is full of inveterate trash that should be ground to an absolute pulp.

Hi, Minny.  This is indeed an awesome, educational post.  We're not privy to the goings on in AZ.  I know politics in this state can be crazy (I can still remember Governor Ev Mecham becoming a national joke in the 80's) but this medical school feud goes beyond the pale.  Thanks!  Post any time.

Yes, I am quite shocked to see the partisans of one school state something negative about their rival.
Just as I would never expect to see an unkind word on this board about cal, $c, and the university of south bend.
