For subscribers: The UA-ASU rivalry goes 24/7, all week, all month, all year.
Greg Hansen Two teams that have lost 15 games between them, couldn’t hold a high school team scoreless, and ran up 27 points between them last week while their opponents were scoring 62, meet Friday in the season’s final game.The winner will receive the Territorial Cup, which is considered so sacred that 21 years ago Arizona and ASU signed a contract that specifies no one can handle the Cup unless they wear “white cotton gloves.

After the 1946 UA-ASU game, won 67-0 by the Wildcats, the Sun Devils fired first-year coach Steve Coutchie, even though they had promised Coutchie a minimum of three years after wooing him away from Mesa High School, where he had been Phoenix’s most revered high school coach.
A week ago, Cal and Stanford drew just 51,892 for the “Big Game” at Cal. Capacity is 62,467. So much for a “can’t-miss” rivalry. Cal and Stanford are almost football twins, smart guys from cosmopolitan universities. It’s a one-week-a-year thing.Oregon and Oregon State are separated by 40 miles of farmland, the Willamette Valley. The nouveau riche Ducks don’t like that image. They don’t like to be compared to the Beavers.
The intensity in Arizona goes beyond football. ASU views Tucson as a border town. They call it the “Dirty T.” The most defining memory of the Territorial Cup series didn’t come from Frank Kush, “Jackrabbit” Joe Hernandez, Pat Tillman, Tedy Bruschi or from the 1968 “Ultimatum Bowl.”.
