YouTube Thursday - Willie T!

by TwistNHook on Oct 16, 2008 3:30 PM PDT in California Golden Bears Football

No, not our delightfull fulback Will Tu'ou'falasgijaoeig, but Arizona QB Willie Tuitama. I feel like he started at Arizona sometime in the mid to late 90s. He's been around for a while.

Tuitama has taken many a hit in his time. Here's one:

All those hits have made him sound like this:

And now, some highlight videos:

They have all these videos of people saying why they are Arizona fans:

Ever wonder why they say "Bear Down" when their mascot is the Wildcat(z)?

The "Point And Laugh" meter is off the charts with this one:

Often I end a YouTube Thursday with a song I am really obsessing over. Nothing like that right now, so I just thought I'd end it with some classic Sonny Rollins. I tried to find a good Tenor Madness, but couldn't. My One And Only Love from 1982 it is!

Love his outfit, btw.

I know right? Didn’t he play for Washington for four years starting in like 1991, then transfer to Arizona for another 4? I think he played for the Raiders for a while in there too…

Didn’t he sell insurance out of Omaha, Nebraska with State Farm for a few years there?

Tuitama and Longshore

The reigning “Deans” of Pac-10 quarterbacking? And two guys who, despite their respective long tenures, have yet to live up to the promise suggested by some of their early performances. Perhaps because of injury. Perhaps because they just aren’t as good as their hopeful fan bases first thought.

Please note it’s not my intention to turn this thread into another Nate-vs.-Kevin debate. (And for the record, Nate is not Joe Ayoob, and if Kevin Riley wanted to compete with Joe Ayoob for the starting job, he should have enrolled at Cal in 2005.) But I just couldn’t resist making note of the comparison.

Go Bears!

Rudy Carpenter also seems like he’s been around the block FOREVER.

he has

unless one of them has missed a game due to injury (i have no idea), this year’s territorial cup will the 4th meeting between Tuitama and Carpenter. how often does that happen in college?

So, basically, you gotta Go Bears!

Nate...please don't telegraph

Two-thirds of the earth is covered by water, the other third is covered by Kotsay...in his prime...like 3 years ago.

That is the question.

Nation's longest winning streak (16) in jeopardy

BYU is down 23-0 against TCU at halftime. BYU’s offense has been shut down. They have -1 rushing yards and 113 passing yards, 30 of which came against a soft “prevent” defense during the final minute of the half.

Hi Mack

He’s everywhere now—phone interview during the ACC game on ESPN. Ugh.

As I said last weekend, BYU is a joke. They would have lost by 30 to any BCS team.

3-run homer by Ortiz. 7-4, Red Sox trailing.

The longer the series this goes on, the longer the rest of us suffer.
