“I’ve never taken the field where I didn’t think we were going to win. In my entire career, in my entire life.” Low outside expectations of ASU's inguaral Big 12 season serving as a constant motivator and rejecting contentment amid strong defensive performance in fall camp

"I thought It was a good mental day for these guys just as much as it was physically.” Saturday night's session offered a game day-like environment that featured newly approved technology and resulted in a balanced effort between both sides of the ball

...and do I need to get it? Anybody watched any of it? I haven't heard anything about it.

ASU won a total of nine medals in Paris, tied with Notre Dame for the eighth-most number of medals won by universities. Léon Marchand won five of those none ASU medals

“We always come to practice ready to get each other better. Whether it’s on the field or off the field. I just want to support my guys and have fun.” Newcomers such as Jacob Kongaika have quickly made an impact on and off the field, elevating the ASU defense

The day before ASU’s second scrimmage of fall camp, Friday’s practice saw a hounding defensive line and strong secondary cause more problems for the Sun Devil offense, although they took steps in the right direction. Here are our takeaways

Cats have most on list (4) while many teams like ASU do not have any listed...

We face four QBs listed, two at home and two on road...

Obviously, Jedd Fisch did some outstanding recruiting for the Cats while in Tucson that has elevated their program significantly from what it was before he arrived...

Fifita was only a RS FR last season and we have a RS FR that will start for us this year...

Can you think of any current Sun Devils that might make the list by this time next year..??

Go Devils!!!

Saturday, August 17: Join us!

@bdenny29 and I will be doing our second ever LIVE podcast, this time from Sun Devil alumni owned and operated Hundred Mile Brewing Company in Tempe (Rural/202).

New ASU Athletic Director Graham Rossini will join us and chat with Brad and me and also take your questions! We'll have additional guests as well and we also expect a certain ASU website publisher who may or may not suck to be in attendance as well! We'll have raffles and giveaways and at Hundred Mile, the food and drinks are top notch as well!

Here's the gameplan for the day:

3:00 p.m. - 4:00 p.m.: Our "pre-show" to get things rolling and test out the equipment (we've already run some tests to avoid issues like last year at the Graduate!). Brad and I will do some opening banter and likely have a guest or two to warm things up. We encourage people to show up during this hour!

4:00 p.m. - 5:00 p.m.: The main event! We will record this portion and this will be when we speak with Graham Rossini and other guests.

5:00 p.m.+: Unrecorded, exclusive Audience Q&A.

PLEASE USE THIS LINK to RSVP. It is not required but it helps us and the venue assess a headcount to prepare.

Hope to see you there!
