Copper mining: Arizona Wildcats add new-look helmet
Rich Rodriguez has never been afraid to meddle with tradition.
Just take his offense, which at one time flew in the face of conventional football wisdom. Now it's not so crazy, but the man is always tweaking it.
The changes he made at West Virginia after taking over for legendary coach Don Nehlen received a lukewarm welcome, until eventually becoming wildly popular. What he...

All season it's been a case of which Arizona men's basketball team will show up?
And not just in games or in halves, but from possession to possession.
It's been that inconsistent.

Fogg is a 6-3 senior guard from Brea and is second on Arizona in scoring, averaging 11.6 points per game, but he's had some of his best...
