Show your Wildcat spirit at Bear Down Fridays’ Throwback Thursday Edition on Sept. 21 — the Cats face Utah on Friday, Sept. 22.

Wearing ’80s and ’90s outfits are encouraged, with prizes going to the best costumes.

DJ B London will spin ’80s and ’90s tunes starting at 4 p.m. on the main stage, where anyone can compete in dance battles hosted by Charlz Luna. Join 106.3 the Groove and DJ Chulo at Gentle Ben’s at 7:30 p.m. for an all-ages ’80s and ’90s dance party.

As always, the Pep Rally begins at 6 p.m. with the Pride of Arizona Marching Band, UA Poms, Twirlers and Guard, Wilbur and Wilma, and UA Cheer on Tyndall Avenue south of University Boulevard.

This week’s featured Pep Rally speaker is head women’s basketball coach Adia Barnes.
