This will be Arizona’s seniors last game ever as a Wildcat, with that we give you their sentiments:
Here is the list of Arizona Wildcats senior football players who will be honored along with their fallen Cat Zach Hemmila (#FOREVER65) whose father, we heard, will be in attendance on Friday night. Zach’s mother can’t bring herself to watch the tunnel and not have her son run out according to Arizona Daily Star’s Zach Rosenblatt. We send our prayers to the family this holiday season.
We hope we didn’t miss anyone, took this straight from the roster on ArizonaWidcats.com. THANK YOU SENIORS!!! Thanks for all the memories, thanks for all of your hard work! We will always be your fans. We appreciate you, and please stay in touch!

When it’s all said and done, Arizona will either be 0-9 in the Pac-12 or 1-8, but that one win could bring solace to the fans and the seniors. The coaches can recruit on a tad upbeat as well, which they will do starting the next day, Rich Rod will be on his way to Phoenix to cheer on his son and future Arizona freshman Rhett Rodriguez in the Arizona Division 4A Championship.
So are two wins too much to ask for? We hope not! BearDown Arizona! BearDown Seniors, you are Wildcats for Life, thank you!
