It’s not something you stumble across every day in Arizona. The meals arrive on one big shared platter. Spongy injera lines the bottom, and colorful...

29 Dry-Climate Towns Retirees Pick for Easier Winters
Shoveling a driveway at 70 loses its charm quickly. Every year, a steady stream of retirees trades gray skies and icy sidewalks for places where January looks more like an extended spring. The common thread is dry air, abundant sun, and winters that often bring less snow and ice than colder regions, though temperatures vary ... Read more

Tucson Restaurateur Topples Arizona's Cage-Free Egg Rule in Court
A Tucson restaurant owner has knocked out Arizona's cage-free egg mandate in court, convincing a judge that state regulators never had the legal authority to impose it in the first place.

Utah expert previews the Arizona football game, makes a score prediction
During their decade-plus together in the Pac-12, Arizona and Utah had plenty of great battles, but the results tended to be streaky. The Wildcats won four straight meetings from 2012-15, then Utah took six in a row before the UA claimed the last two, including their Big 12 debut in 2024 when it beat a Top 10 Utes squad on the road.

No. 7 Palo Verde beat No. 10 Horizon Honors 31-0 to open up the first round of the 3A playoffs Tuesday night at home and the victory was remarkable for several reasons.

Week 11 Big 12 Storylines: CFP on Line for Cats, Cougs, Utes
It’s November football. That means the Playoff is on the line for several teams in the Big 12. BYU ’s matchup with Baylor is essentially an elimination game. It’s the same for Houston at Colorado . It’s probably the same for Texas Tech at Oklahoma State, depending on how the CFP Committee would view the loss. And it’s definitely the same for Arizona when they host Utah . Seeing a pattern? This week matters more than most. Here’s my Big 12 Column with game previews for every Western team in action. Featured Game No. 2 Utah at No. 23 Arizona Saturday, November 14 4:30 PM PT, FOX Fox’s Big Noon Kickoff is coming to Tucson. The extra national attention shows the gravity of the game. Utah and Arizona aren’t exactly rivals. But there is some animosity. The Utes have taken advantage to run up the score on bad Arizona teams in the past. Fake punts in blowout wins aren’t forgotten by the diehards. In 2023, Kyle Whittingham wouldn’t let the game go. So Jedd Fisch had to send a message. He put in his backup quarterback and had him throw a bomb to T-Mac at the end of the game.
