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.

Heidi Klum talks up Project Runway, Season 3

I just got off a conference call with Heidi Klum. She’s pretty much same on the telephone as she is in person … which is to say, pretty nice, but not terribly exciting. She doesn’t have the level of personality of say, a Santino.

She didn’t reveal much about the upcoming season … basically, she avoided any questions about it and focused and talking up the previous two seasons, I’m guessing because they just came out on DVD. She did talk about her stupid jewelry line, though. Does anyone like that stuff? (Although that clover pendant she wore all the time kind of rocked. But seriously … clover pendant AND earrings? Everyday?)

I wanted to ask her why she broke Jay’s heart by not wearing that beautiful, beautiful dress he made for her, but another reporter beat me to it. Basically Heidi said, “It was ugly, and I don’t feel bad for going with another designer.” (She didn’t say “ugly.” She said, “I have pictures. Maybe I should show them to people. But I don’t think I want to be that mean to him.) Which … harsh, but I see where she’s coming from.

Season 3 of “Project Runway” premieres July 12.

  1. I still don’t get it. What show is premiering?
