TEMPE, AZ — Sun Devil fans won't let the Wildcats live down their sound defeat in the 2020 Territorial Cup.

A group of Arizona State University fans purchased a billboard along Interstate-10 to remind the University of Arizona Wildcats of the loss. The billboard is located near Casa Grande on the way from Tucson to Phoenix.

"Paid for by VIP members of our community, the Devils’ Sanctuary, who wanted to remind Arizona fans of the most lopsided game in Territorial Cup history," the Twitter for Sun Devil Source wrote.

The sign is decked out in maroon and gold, featuring the phrase 'No Pitty for the Kitty' in between two Sun Devil logos with the game's final score of 70-7 inside.

The 63-point loss was the largest deficit for any team in the long-standing rivalry and led to the firing of former Head Football Coach Kevin Sumlin, according to Arizona Sports. He has since been replaced by Jedd Fisch to revamp the struggling football program.
