Arizona Gets Destroyed by Arizona State in Territorial Cup To End Season

The football season has officially ended for the Arizona Wildcats.

Coming into Saturday, they knew that the Territorial Cup would be their final contest of the campaign after they failed to secure six wins that would have qualified them for a bowl game.

Considering the expectations that were placed upon this Wildcats team coming into the year with some of their best players choosing to stay in Tucson despite the head coaching change, not even playing a postseason game was nothing short of a disaster.

The final exclamation point was put on things for Arizona.

Despite having nothing to play for outside of pride when facing Arizona State, the Wildcats could have shown up at home to beat their archrivals and potentially eliminate the Sun Devils from College Football Playoff contention.

Instead, Arizona was destroyed, 49-7.

Things went off the rails immediately for the Wildcats when the Sun Devils took the opening kickoff and went down and scored a touchdown nine plays into the contest. Then after forcing a punt on Arizona’s first four plays from scrimmage, Arizona State was able to score another touchdown to take a 14-0 lead.

The misery didn’t stop there, though.

Arizona State continued to dominate by forcing two more punts, a missed field goal and a turnover on downs while they scored touchdowns on five of their six possessions to go into halftime up 35-0.

Coming out of the locker room, Arizona was able to get on the board when they drove 75 yards in eight plays to score a touchdown on a Noah Fifita to Tetairoa McMillan completion.

That was it for the Wildcats.

Their next four possessions resulted in three punts and an interception, while Arizona State scored two more touchdowns to give themselves even more space on the scoreboard.

It was a brutal ending to what was a tough season in Tucson.

In what was likely the final game of his collegiate career, McMillan caught six balls for 68 yards and the lone touchdown.

Arizona will have a lot of soul searching to do this winter and spring as they try to get things going under Brent Brennan after his first year as head coach of the Wildcats was a disaster.

Arizona boy named Disneyland’s one billionth guest on his 8th birthday in memorable ceremony

An Arizona boy received the present of a lifetime while celebrating his birthday at the Happiest Place on Earth when he was honored as the one billionth guest at the California theme park.

Andres Robles, 8, walked through the gates of Disneyland Resort Friday morning ready to celebrate his 8th birthday with his parents when he received the heartfelt surprise, DisneyParksBlog reported.

The birthday boy and his parents Alejandra and Jose attended a ceremony at the Main Street USA train station platform where the beaming 8-year-old unveiled a sign showcasing the updated population of the theme park.

“Population 1,000,000,000,” read the sign.

Fittingly, Mickey and Minnie Mouse were in attendance for the special ceremony, as well as their friends Daisy and Donald Duck.

The birthday celebrations for the youngster continued after the ceremony when he was gifted with a VIP tour guide for the day — which can start at a whopping $3,500 for the luxury service.

The lucky family was treated to a tour of Walt Disney’s private apartment located on park grounds as well as the new Soarin’ Across America attraction commemorating America’s 250th birthday.

“The Robles family visit is just one of the many lifelong memories that have been created here at Disneyland Resort,” the blog wrote.

“From vacations and reunions to birthdays and more, generations of families and friends have come to Disneyland Resort to have fun together.”

Disneyland Resort — which encompasses Disneyland and Disney California Adventure — celebrated its 70th anniversary last year.

Known as the Happiest Place on Earth, Disneyland “has served as the inspiration behind the creation of more Disney theme parks and experiences across the globe,” according to DisneyParksBlog.

“Today, Disneyland continues its legacy as a worldwide icon and industry leader in entertainment and theme park experiences.”

“The resort continues to invest in creativity, technology and innovation to bring storytelling to new heights, while fulfilling Walt Disney’s vision that ‘Disneyland will never be complete as long as there is imagination left in the world,’” the blog added.
