The challenge of scheduling college football games

On the heels of the disappointing news that ASU was unable to replace one of its nonconference games next year with an FBS opponent (opting for FCS Portland State), Devils Digest posted some great discussion from the news conference.
Here’s a snippet of the original article, which is definitely worth the read.
Question: Can you explain the [...]

ASU football is officially broken

Another week, another disappointing Sun Devil loss.
It’s getting tough to figure out what’s wrong here, except that things have simply gotten progressively worse with this team since Erickson took over. He had a great 8-0 start to his ASU coaching career, but it’s been downright atrocious since then. I refuse to believe that it’s the [...]

Missing an ASU home football

For only the second time in my 23 years as a season ticket holder, I will not be at Sun Devil Stadium on Saturday to watch the Arizona State Sun Devils take on the USC Trojans.
Even though USC will likely be huge favorites, it won’t be an easy game for me to miss.
Trust me.
Instead, I’ll [...]

Thoughts on ASU after the Oregon State debacle

To say it was a frustrating, disappointing and ultimately futile night is a substantial understatement. The first half was one of the most tragic of recent memory, the officiating downright mind-boggling, and the quarterback play saddening.
Danny Sullivan has worked hard. He’s does all that he can. But it’s just not enough. Sullivan simply doesn’t have [...]

5 Observations from ASU’s 50-3 win over Idaho State

1. The Defense will lead the team. It’s painfully obvious that the offense is not the strength of the 2009 team. The defense will clearly carry the team – something we’re not used to seeing from an ASU team. However, for all of the ways that Erickson has failed to field a really competitive offense [...]

Why we don’t attend ASU games in Tucson

Leading up to this year’s Duel in the Desert, several friends asked Kim or I why we no longer attend the game when it’s held down in Tucson. I’ve been to several of those rivalry games, but we’ve skipped it the last 6 or 8 years.
Simple: it’s dangerous, and no longer fun.
I’ve been goaded into [...]

Worst losing streak ever for Sun Devils

It’s official, the Sun Devils have lost 6 games in a row, the worst losing streak the school has seen since 1929. That’s 17 years before the Sun Devils became the Sun Devils, and long before they were Arizona State University.
Nonetheless, in a hugely disappointing year, the Sun Devils finally showed some heart in a [...]
