UA homecoming this weekend is
all about Wilbur the Wildcat - the
beloved and furry mascot turns
50 on Saturday.

The UA used real animals as
mascots off and on between the
early 1900s and the late 1950s
(with at least one tragic mishap),
until two UA students (Richard
Heller and John Paquette)
pitched the idea of using a
costume-wearing human.

Wilbur made his first appearance
at the UA vs. Texas Tech football
game on Nov. 7, 1959, and was
an immediate hit, according to a
UA Web site.

Wilbur's look has evolved over the
years. It was during one of those
costume makeovers that Wilma
the Wildcat was created.

She made her first public
appearance on March 1, 1986,
during a "blind date" with Wilbur.
The pair later "married" before an
Arizona-Arizona State football
game.

For a chance to win a a set of
three audio books, tell us the
date of their wedding.

Eek-a-Mouse is Sunday night at Twelve Tribes

Tucson, Arizona | Published: 08.21.2008
Veteran Jamaica reggae artist Eek-A-Mouse is swinging through Tucson Sunday.
The lanky 50-year-old singer has been doing his thing since the late '70s.
He took his name from a racehorse he used to lose a lot of money on (it won after he decided not to bet on it anymore).
He'll play Twelve Tribes Reggae Shop, 345 N. Fifth Avenue, on Sunday, with doors opening at 8 p.m. The show is all ages and tickets are $22 in advance and $25 day of show.
