The University of Arizona plays Arizona State on Friday afternoon in the annual Territorial Cup football game — the most intense college rivalry in the country according to a couple academics.
Things that make this year's game interesting:
1. It matters. Both teams are ranked for the first time since 1986 and the winning team will take the Pac-12 South if UCLA loses to Stanford. Both games start at 1:30 p.m. Dramatic.
2. Arizona Stadium is sold out.

A: The real tragedy was that 15 hadn't been colored yet.
Zona Zoo is on it:

A popular sub-category of "ASU grads are dumb" are the fast-food jokes:

• Question ASU grad asks at her first job — do you want fries with that?
