The Arizona Wildcats spent Saturday afternoon at SeaWorld, a pre-Holiday Bowl tradition dating to the park's sponsorship of the game. Sophomore cornerback Trevin Wade gave the Star a full report:
"Starting off, we went to the dolphin thing; some of the players got wet, the ones who were sitting in the front.
"Who got the wettest? Probably Joseph Perkins. There was a rumor that if you sit in the front on the left, you get the wettest. I was the only one down there; then Perkins said, 'I'm not going to leave you alone,' so he came and sat by me. He got soaked.
"We went to the shark tank, and we had some fun there. Then we went to see the stingrays; some of the seagulls tried to take the fish we were feeding them.
"We were scared dropping the fish in the water, but 'T.T.' (Terrell Turner) was like, 'I'm going to put it in my hand and have the stingrays eat it.' He did it, then me, Juron (Criner) and Dela (Dean) did it.

"When we went to see the sea lions, there were more seagulls - and they were meaner. They were fightin'. One of them tried to 'doo-doo' on the players, so they got running. Then we went on the roller coaster with (strength coach Corey) Edmond. That was pretty fun. We got wet.
"SeaWorld was amazing. I haven't been in like eight years, so it's been a while. It's cooler now that you're older. You get a different point of view."
