Regarding "Bear Down"... it comes from basically the Arizona version of Joe Roth. In 1926, QB John Salmon was fatally injured in a car crash, and his dying words were "...tell the team to bear down". It's a similarly tragic story to Roth's in the sense that a player left a lasting legacy at the school after their demise.

If you hadn't already bought Zach Charbonnet stock, you're a couple of years late. Most probably also bought Ott a few weeks ago.

Meanwhile, it might already be too late to dump Stanford; no one will buy it, especially now that the injuries are starting to pile up. Their overall talent is down, but their depth is even more lacking in quality.

We'll know a lot more about Ott/Bears run game after/during the WSU game. If the offensive line can give him a chance (one hole to take on a linebacker or safety), then it could be special. I'll wait to see if he's the next coming of Javid Best.

Stanford is officially a penny stock at this point.

Ott is certified bitcoin.

I will never understand how or why the Arizona Wildcats have the Bear Down motto.
