Arizona Safety Will Parks is making social media headlines this week for comments he made concerning the noise at Autzen Stadium. Over the last fifteen years the home of the Oregon Ducks has been called one of the loudest stadiums in the Pac-12 Conference, going back to comments made my Michigan Wolverines Head Coach Lloyd Carr that still echo through the Pac-12. Now that perception takes on a whole….new and different..meaning thanks to a player for the Arizona Wildcats.
Strange But True: Arizona S depicts Oregon's stadium vibe:

"It's a bunch of milk being poured on you. Loud milk. Imagine milk screaming."
Apparently he was asked to clarify, according to USA Today, but it didn’t get any better.
Arizona S Will Parks on playing at Autzen Stadium: "It's like being in a bowl of cereal. Imagine loud milk being poured in. I'm weird."

Parks is entering his Senior year for the Wildcats and last season played in all 14 games and had 81 tackles and 52 solo stops including a career high eight tackles against Oregon in the Arizona win at Autzen Stadium. Unfortunately the Ducks and Wildcats will not meet in the regular season in 2015. (UCLA also fell off Oregon’s schedule for the upcoming season).
The Oregon Ducks and Arizona Wildcats could meet in the Pac-12 Championship Game in Santa Clara on December 5th, and if they do, this comment will surely be brought up once again.
