Caliente Contest
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.

Chang wins almost $10K at WSOP

Southern Arizona produced its most lucrative casher of the 2009 World Series of Poker Tuesday with Sahuarita resident Edwin Chang’s 37th place finish in a $2,000 No-Limit Hold’Em event.

Chang earned $9,715 for his effort. Had he outlasted one more person in the 1,534-player field, he’d have upped his payout to almost $12,000.

Through the first 32 events of the 57-tournament series, Tucson-area players have combined to cash for $77,935. That’s still less than half of 2008’s haul of $164,474.
