Interesting Arizona Daily Star article

I can't say I disagree with the majority in both of these polls.

• No championships needed: Apparently, consistency is sexier than "One Shining Moment."

Asked to choose between continuing the Wildcats' consecutive NCAA tournament appearances for another 10 years or winning a national title, more than two-thirds chose the former.

Sixty-eight percent of 399 fans preferred the Wildcats just stay in the title hunt rather than win their first since 1997. Another 10 seasons of the Big Dance would place the Wildcats in a new stratosphere among NCAA programs, with 35 straight trips.

In football, fans passed on the Wildcats reaching the pinnacle of their program's history. Fifty-nine percent of 356 fans said they would rather the UA defeat rival Arizona State 10 times in a row than the Wildcats reach the Rose Bowl for the first time.

The UA is the only school in either the Pac-10 or the Big Ten to have never played in Pasadena on New Year's Day.
