I kind of regret, in hindsight, dropping an Arizona dislike bomb on an unrelated forum. Just can't help myself sometimes. Suffice to say the fanbases do not get along, but you're right. There are plenty of lovely people around U of A and Tucson, and the retired community in the area has some wonderful and interesting folks from all over. The big divide is, when you boil it down, the growth of Phoenix. The "little brother" school is becoming the bigger school.

A few years ago (was it 2019 or 2017?), I happened to be sitting near some ASU parents, fully geared up. On one of their series, the Sun Devils came out in the Wildcat formation, and I commented on it to my son. "That is not the 'Wildcat!'," they interjected. "We call it the 'Sparky,' okay?!" They said it with a smile, though.
