Arizona announced last week it a two-game football series against Colorado State in 2027 and 2028. It seems odd a Pac-12 school would announce a series with a mid-level school like CSU, and especially a series a decade away. Arizona used to boldly announce football series against Ohio State, LSU, Miami, Oklahoma and Wisconsin. Now? NAU, UTEP and Houston are Arizona’s 2017 nonconference opponents. Tucson fans haven’t reacted well to a regular and diminished list of opponents.
