Super Fan Spotlight

@JWBeach - Tucson, AZ

Make no mistake, Jacob is a die-hard Arizona fan. Through the ups and the downs, he and his family have been season ticket holders for decades & have plenty of memories to cherish. We sat down with him to get the full scoop on his love for the Wildcats.

What classifies you as an Arizona Super Fan? 

As a born and raised Tucsonan, I bleed cardinal red and navy blue. My family has had season tickets to Arizona Wildcats football since the 1980s and have been going ever since I was born in 1998. Every Arizona football Saturday is an event of its own in our family.

What's your favorite moment as a fan? 

There is a lot to choose from but beating ASU in the 2014 Territorial Cup to win the Pac-12 South is still my favorite memory as a fan. The stadium was electric and it was the first time in a long time where both teams were ranked in the top 15. There were so many big plays and moments from that game alone. Add in the bitter hatred of your in-state rival and it instantly became a classic win in Arizona Football history.

What's the best game you've ever attended for your team?

The best game I ever attended was the 49-45 Hill Mary game against Cal in 2014. I remember watching in the first half being so frustrated being down 28-6, only for those feelings to turn into complete shock and elation by the end of the game.

What's the craziest thing you've ever done as a fan?

Driven over 8 hours to watch Rhett Rodriguez start at Quarterback against UCLA in the Rose Bowl.

What's the most memorable fan item you've ever spent money on?

It's cliché but buying our season tickets has given me so many great memories with friends and family so that is the most memorable thing I have spent money on.
