Coulda, woulda, shoulda: ASU Football 2010

The media picked ASU to finish 9th in the conference in 2010. In frustrating fashion, ASU has improved on that prediction, but not by much. ASU could finish as high as 5th in the conference depending on how it does against Arizona on Thursday. It won’t finish worse than 8th, but could also ring in [...]

The 2010 Arizona State football season

It’s early fall in Phoenix, and that means another season of ASU football is upon us. After a shared PAC-10 championship in his first year, fan approval of Dennis Erickson was off the charts. Following two disappointing seasons — the first back-to-back losing seasons in 60+ years — there’s open discussion amongst fans of who [...]

ASU football is officially broken

Thumbnail image for 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 State of ASU Football in Nov 2009

The State of ASU football in November 2009 is in disarray. Sure, we know that we’re playing a ton of young players – for the second year in a row – and that Dennis Erickson has only been here for three seasons. That recruiting is generally better than it’s been and that we’re landing some [...]

Danny Sullivan’s 50yd touchdown pass to Chris McGaha for the win

It was one of the most baffling plays to win a game. Embattled quarterback Danny Sullivan, who was booed by the home crowd during the video introductions, connected with flu-stricken but wide open Chris McGaha for a 50-yard touchdown to take the lead with only :05 seconds left to play. What a night of elation [...]

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 [...]

ASU takes care of UML

Another lower tier opponent, another win. There wasn’t much drama in this one. ASU’s Omar Bolden returned the opening kickoff for a touchdown and there wasn’t any looking back. That’s probably a good thing, because it wasn’t much closer to halftime that the Devils had actually put the game out of reach. It wasn’t as [...]

The silver lining: 5 things

This incredibly frustrating season is finally done. Thank goodness. Dennis Erickson has even more pressure on him to replace Offensive Coordinator Rich Olson. Recruiting starts tomorrow. The coaches need the time this year to land some of the players they’re seeking and their calendar was just cleared. The Vegas Bowl, while I would have enjoyed [...]
