Please respond to this with your answers and how you feel about the state of the program. Just copy and paste to respond.

1. On a scale of 1-10 (with 10 being the most excited), how excited are you about the immediate future of Arizona football?

Depends, for those with unbridled optimism, maybe a 7. For those who choose to wallow in self-pity, a 1.

2. One word to describe your confidence in head coach John Mackovic and his prospects of "turning it around" soon.

ambivalence (but choose to be positively ambilavlent.)

3. What was the BRIGHT SPOT of this season?

Bobby, for consistency, heart, dedication, loyalty to the team concept, and all around play. Remember how he went after the Devil yesterday after the tipped interception? THASSA PLAYER!

4. Who was your favorite player?

Bobby, no question.

5. Which player are you most excited about next year?

John Parada.

6. Because something has to change, what would you do first if you were the Athletic Director for a day? Or, would you change anything at all?

Attitude adjustments: A "team first" mentality, with Lute Olson, Joan Bonvincini and Mike Candrea as role models, and one prominent student.

7. IF there was going to be a new head coach at Arizona, who would YOU like to see it be?

MOOT. There are no vacancies for head coach.

8. Will you attend MORE THAN half of next year's home games?[

I will attend two out-of town games in the Bay Area, CA.

9. Should the starting QB in 2003 be Ryan O'Hara or Nic Costa, and why?

Whichever of the two demonstrates the best quarterbacking skills, leadership potential, and earns respect of his teamamtes in Spring practice, and in early August. The intangibles are most important.

10. What is your opinion of Mackovic the man?

An enigma. But can he change enough to lead effectivelyand put together a winning program?

[Ben Hansen]

1. On a scale of 1-10 (with 10 being the most excited), how excited are you about the immediate future of Arizona football?

--About a 6 because I love the young defensive players and can't wait to see Mike Jefferson playing with Biren, Andrae, Ricky and the running quartet of Clarence, Mike B., Gainus and Beau. Also, I'm excited to see what Ryan O'Hara can do....plus a healthy O-Line.

2. One word to describe your confidence in head coach John Mackovic and his prospects of "turning it around" soon.

--DependsOnHealthOfTheTeam. Is that one word?

3. What was the BRIGHT SPOT of this season?

--The Cal victory and the play of Bobby Wade all year. He might go down as one of the best of all-time at Arizona.

4. Who was your favorite player(s)?

--Spencer Larsen easily No. 1, but Copeland Bryan, Lance Briggs, Darrell Brooks, Clay Hardt and Lamon Means close second. Bobby doesn't need to be mentioned because it's obvious.

5. Which player are you most excited about next year?

--Spence and Mike Jefferson.

6. Because something has to change, what would you do first if you were the Athletic Director for a day? Or, would you change anything at all?

--DEMAND that respect is mutual at all times from the players and coaching staff.

7. IF there was going to be a new head coach at Arizona, who would YOU like to see it be?

--Ricky Hunley, definitely.

8. Will you attend MORE THAN half of next year's home games?

--Definitely.

9. Should the starting QB in 2003 be Ryan O'Hara or Nic Costa, and why?

--O'Hara at first because he's more of a prototype pocket passer with above average "escapability", which JJ lacked big time. I'd love to see Costa at SS.

10. What is your opinion of Mackovic the man?

--Arrogance personified.

Quite honestly, 2

Snowballschanceinhell

3. What was the BRIGHT SPOT of this season?

Seeing ASU show quite a bit of class after defeating us on our own field.

4. Who was your favorite player?

I like Bobby Wade's ability but I wish he'd just shut up and play the game. Lance Briggs was my favorite player even though he didn't have his best year.

5. Which player are you most excited about next year?

Ryan O'Hara

6. Because something has to change, what would you do first if you were the Athletic Director for a day? Or, would you change anything at all?

If I was AD Mackovic would be getting a pink slip. Over 40 players disliked him enough to try and get a change made. No parents will send there son to UA to play football right now, and why should they?

7. IF there was going to be a new head coach at Arizona, who would YOU like to see it be?

It's not Rickey Hunley even though he seems to be a nice guy. Hunley is only a position coach, he hasn't even been a coordinator yet. I'd go with a brand new guy and brand new assistants. John L. Smith or Mike Riley.

8. Will you attend MORE THAN half of next year's home games?

No, I live in SoCal.

9. Should the starting QB in 2003 be Ryan O'Hara or Nic Costa, and why?

O'Hara definitely. Costa should be moved to a slot receiver.

10. What is your opinion of Mackovic the man?

You can't treat people like crap, and that's what he does. He's way past his time.

[Quencher]

1. On a scale of 1-10 (with 10 being the most excited), how excited are you about the immediate future of Arizona football?

Given the great programs emerging in the PAC-10 we're about a 2.

2. One word to describe your confidence in head coach John Mackovic and his prospects of "turning it around" soon.

Dismal

3. What was the BRIGHT SPOT of this season? A few games were actually televised!!!!

4. Who was your favorite player?

JJ

5. Which player are you most excited about next year?

Whichever one can walk on opening day - they'll all be injured, so what does it matter?

6. Because something has to change, what would you do first if you were the Athletic Director for a day? Or, would you change anything at all?

Mack mack associate AD and director of FB operations with a 50% pay cut. Hire Hunley as coach and let mack teach him how a wining program operates - but let Hunley run the team.


7. IF there was going to be a new head coach at Arizona, who would YOU like to see it be? DAMN NEAR ANYBODY. Hun;ey might be my first choice, although I'm sick of watching Terry Bowden do nothing after his acomplishments at Auburn.

8. Will you attend MORE THAN half of next year's home games? I'm not able to say for certain.

9. Should the starting QB in 2003 be Ryan O'Hara or Nic Costa, and why? both will be injured and out for the season, so what does it matter?

10. What is your opinion of Mackovic the man? What a joke.

[Crackem]

1. On a scale of 1-10 (with 10 being the most excited), how excited are you about the immediate future of Arizona football?

4. IMO, the program is headed the wrong direction. Last year at this time, I would have said an 8 with the victory over ASU and a strong recruiting effort by Mac and staff. One of my main criticisms of Tomey was that we could not bring in talent on a consistent basis to allow the team to compete for the Rose Bowl. With the uprising this year, I just can't see us bringing in a good class for the next couple of years. That will hurt our depth, and as we saw this year, that is a killer.


2. One word to describe your confidence in head coach John Mackovic and his prospects of "turning it around" soon.

Low

3. What was the BRIGHT SPOT of this season?

No question, it was Bobby Wade.

4. Who was your favorite player(s)?

Wade, of course. I also like Clay Hardt and Spencer Larson. I think Beau Carr has a bright future as well

5. Which player are you most excited about next year?

Ryan O'Hara or Nic Costa, whoever wins the job.

6. Because something has to change, what would you do first if you were the Athletic Director for a day? Or, would you change anything at all?

Listen to the players and alumni and see what the popular consensus is.

7. IF there was going to be a new head coach at Arizona, who would YOU like to see it be?

Walt Harris, although I don't think there is any way he leaves Pitt.

8. Will you attend MORE THAN half of next year's home games?

No, but I don't live in Tucson or I probably would. I will probably make 2 or so games.

9. Should the starting QB in 2003 be Ryan O'Hara or Nic Costa, and why?

Whoever wins it in practice. I would hope its O'Hara

10. What is your opinion of Mackovic the man?

I don't have much nice to say about him now.

Farmer no doubt, he has something to prove.

Bobby Wade

5. Which player are you most excited about next year?

Andre Thurman

6. Because something has to change, what would you do first if you were the Athletic Director for a day? Or, would you change anything at all?

I would fire Mackovic. Stop the lame music and commercials that are piped in during the games through the sound system. Guarantee students Basketball tickets and abolish the lottery. I agree with AZCAT07 with putting in a student section close to the court.

7. IF there was going to be a new head coach at Arizona, who would YOU like to see it be?

This will not happen, but lure Steve Spurrier back to the college ranks by coaching the 'Cats.

Not sure yet, maybe O'Hara

10. What is your opinion of Mackovic the man?

His way of coaching is outdated. The way he handled the player revolt was moronic. Calling a press conference and start weeping? That should have been handled behind closed doors. He has made too many mistakes and damaged the program as well as recruiting.
