For the first time in more than a decade, La Fiesta de los Vaqueros, the Tucson Rodeo, will not conflict with a pro golf tournament or spring training baseball. The organization’s annual Rodeo Parade will be historic: Three-time national championship Arizona baseball coach Jerry Kindall is scheduled to be the grand marshal on Feb. 26. The only other UA sports figures to be grand marshal were Lute Olson in 1988 and Mike Candrea in 2002.
