The Arizona Wildcats will claim it’s “Wildcat Country” just about anywhere. Well, they can because of its global online school.

But on Wednesday, the day after introducing former Texas A&M head coach Kevin Sumlin as its new head coach, Arizona took it to another level.

Billboards:

One is just a short drive from Sun Devil Stadium. In fact, it sits on the Westbound 202 freeway in Tempe with a clear view of the backside of Arizona State’s “A” Mountain.

Another is in downtown Phoenix on 50 W. Jefferson Street across the street from the Maricopa County Courthouse.

It’s been almost two months since Arizona State beat Arizona, 42-30, in Tempe. Since then, both teams lost a bowl game and hired a new coach, finishing with identical 7-6 records.
