UA homecoming this weekend is
all about Wilbur the Wildcat - the
beloved and furry mascot turns
50 on Saturday.

The UA used real animals as
mascots off and on between the
early 1900s and the late 1950s
(with at least one tragic mishap),
until two UA students (Richard
Heller and John Paquette)
pitched the idea of using a
costume-wearing human.

Wilbur made his first appearance
at the UA vs. Texas Tech football
game on Nov. 7, 1959, and was
an immediate hit, according to a
UA Web site.

Wilbur's look has evolved over the
years. It was during one of those
costume makeovers that Wilma
the Wildcat was created.

She made her first public
appearance on March 1, 1986,
during a "blind date" with Wilbur.
The pair later "married" before an
Arizona-Arizona State football
game.

For a chance to win a a set of
three audio books, tell us the
date of their wedding.

Un-Tucson-Show-Alert: Katy Perry kissed off CatFest, possibly liked it

Did it taste like cherry chapstick?


Popstar Katy Perry has postponed her appearance at the the University of Arizona for the school’s annual CatFest.

Perry was to perform a free show down in the Main Gate Square area on Friday, Aug. 29, for about an hour starting around 7:30 p.m.

The reason cited was a scheduling conflict, as Perry has kind of blown up and is in demand, although not everyone is pleased about that.

Perry has been riding atop the Billboard Hot 100 chart with her song I Kissed A Girl (not this one) for something like a decade.

It’s still unclear what Perry is really saying in the song: Is she singing from the perspective of the United States and the “girl” in question is Armageddon?

What’s clear is that in the summer of ’08, what the world really needed was just a good ‘ol fashioned jam about ladies tonguing…sorry t.A.T.u.

No doubt Perry’s Tucson postponement news reaches a dude with a Godsmack sun tattoo and a thick goatee, who now finds himself wondering when the stars will align so perfectly that a popular female performer would be singing a song that might actually encourage UA co-eds to make-out in public, so that he then might YouTube it with his cell phone.

Fear not Godsmack dude, organizers are saying Perry is looking to reschedule for sometime early next year.

In her place at this year’s CatFest will be Maryland singer-songwriter Eric Hutchinson, who has probably also kissed a girl, but to less fanfare.
