Name: Bobby Wade
Sport: Football
Position: Wide Receiver
Year: Senior
Major: Political Science

Latest Highlight: Wade caught a career-high 12 passes last week in the Wildcats' Pacific 10 Conference opener. He added a touchdown and 151 yards. Wade is currently leading the Pac-10 in receptions per game, receiving yards per game, and all-purpose yards

Wildcat: Your 12 catches last week was a big game, but what's your most memorable UA sports moment?

Wade: Freshman year. Washington State. Game winning touchdown on a Hail Mary pass. It was a controversial catch, but it was a catch. It was my first 100 yard game.

Wildcat: My favorite moment was last year when you drilled that ASU receiver on the fake punt. How did that feel?

Wade: As far as a feeling, that had to be the best feeling. Taxing Daryl Lightfoot on that fake punt, especially after that guy came here and mooched off me. A guy that I took into my own house on weekends that weren't official recruiting weekends and getting to smack him in the face was great, plus he's one of my buddies.

Wildcat: With the depleted secondary, any thoughts of you playing a little defense maybe?

Wade: I'd love it. That would be a dream come true. Id love to play defense, but with the way things go around here, no such luck.

Wildcat: What's your favorite TV show?

Wade: "106th and Park" on BET.

Wildcat: You don't like The Basement?

Wade: The Basement is cool, but I don't get home in time to watch it.

Wildcat: Who is your favorite band/artist?

Wade: Nate Dogg, he's so cold.

Wildcat: What is the best sports movie of all-time?

Wade: "Lucas"

Wildcat: What is your favorite thing to do when you are not playing football?

Wade: I like to read believe it or not.

Wildcat: What's your favorite book?

Wade: The Three Little Pigs.

Wildcat: Who do you think is the greatest wide receiver ever?

Wade: Billy "White Shoes" Johnson.

Wildcat: Who do you like to win World Series?

Wade: Giants, Barry Bonds baby! Black home run hitter. I'm pro-black. I support all black activists.

Wildcat: Name one thing you are afraid of.

Wade: The human mind. I'm crazy. The human mind, especially mine. Me personally, I'm afraid of myself. I can be a little insane sometimes.

Wildcat: What's your favorite thing about the UA?

Wade: The people.

Wildcat: So, do you want them to put Bobby or Robert on the Biletnikoff awards' nameplate?

Wade: Bobby.

Wildcat: Word association. Wildcat.

Wade: Win.
