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.

'American Idol' - It ain't easy being Chikezie

It ain’t easy being Chikezie.

At least not tonight.

The former airport baggage screener got the boot last night as “American Idol” lost one of its more talented contestants.

The good news is his departure gave Syesha Mercado a ticket to the next round. Mercado has the skills to win, but for some reason, the home audience keeps taking her down a peg by putting her in the bottom three.

The bad news is Chikezie was definitely not the worst this week and did not deserve to go home.

David Cook’s rendition of Chris Cornell’s rendition of “Billie Jean” was God awful and while I didn’t think “You’re the Voice” was a terrible song for David Archuleta, I do think he has plenty of time to make it big without the show.

I haven’t been overly impressed with Archuleta. He’s good…but there is room for improvement.

Here’s to hoping one of the more talented of the final nine (I’m looking at you Carly Smithson) wins over the legions of Arhuletites with touchtone phones and texting capabilities.

  1. Chickezie was one of the very best. I dont really like that archeleta guy.He can sing, but he looks so dumb, and always licking his lips.I just dont like to look at him.Amy Davis was the prettiest, and cold really sing great also and from her heart.She should still be there. I think she’s better than any one there now

  2. David Cook’s performance was one of the only entertaining showings AI has ever had.

    “God awful” – ?

    Do you even have ears?

    I keed, I keed.
