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.

Ozzy and Rob Zombie Fans Sting In North Dakota

In what has to be one of the worst buzzkills of all time, a bunch of Ozzy Osbourne and Rob Zombie fans in North Dakota were invited to a giant concert pre-party…only to be arrested.

From Rolling Stone:

“Invitations were sent out to people who ignored court summons, didn’t pay child support, failed to pay fines, etc.

“Approximately forty Ozzy fans (or Rob Zombie fans, to be fair) responded to the invite and attended the bash, which was held at the concert venue by PDL Productions.

“Little did they know, PDL stood for ‘Paul D. Laney,’ a county sheriff, and that all those meaty guys wearing PDL T-shirts were actually deputy sheriffs, probation officers and local DEA members.

“Rather than boozing, the miscreants who showed up got arrested on outstanding warrants.”

I’m not sure if this says more about the fans of Rob Zombie and Ozzy, or the local sheriff’s department in Fargo.

Note to potential pre-partiers in Arizona, the Ozzy/Zombie tour stops at Glendale’s Jobing.com Arena on Wednesday, Nov. 28.
