I know Thanksgiving passed a couple of days ago at this point, but I, for one, find myself grateful for the Arizona Wildcats right now. Because last night, the Arizona Wildcats did a huge favor for Joey McGuire and the Texas Tech Red Raiders. While it wasn’t technically totally necessary, it certainly helped Texas Tech in a pretty huge way.
And what was that huge favor?
Well, the Arizona Wildcats managed to beat up on the Arizona State Sun Devils, absolutely smothering the Sun Devils’ otherwise generally impressive offense in the process.
And while that result in and of itself is a little cathartic to watch given that Texas Tech lost to Arizona State when they met a little while back, it’s the fact that this particular result guarantees that the Red Raiders will go to the Big 12 championship game that makes it such a good thing.
