TUCSON - Does the Jimmy Kimmel LA Bowl even sound appealing anymore?

When rivalry games end up as sweaty as Friday’s Territorial Cup was, bowl season has no match, at least from a motivational standpoint, for rivalry week. That is why college football is so special, even though that sentiment may have been lost on the fanbases of both Arizona State (3-9, 2-7 Pac-12) and Arizona (5-7, 3-7) in recent months.

But for nearly three hours, rear-ends were tethered to the edges of seats at Arizona Stadium in Tucson as ASU and Arizona swapped scores five times in a shootout that ended in a 38-35 victory for the Wildcats.
