Boys won a tight one last night, 3-1 @ N Michigan...but was 1-1 until late in the game, we scored 2nd goal, and then they pulled their goalie and we got our 3rd

Good news is we outshot them 40-17, and we only had 2 penalty minutes......so other than not being able to put the puck in the net until late in the game, was a good effort.....box score below

Today's Topic = Daunting ?

At the beginning of the season, once we reached November, our Sun Devils were going to meet conference championship contenders Oklahoma St, K-State and AU during that time span but only K-State has lived up to its preseason billing as a title contender, while the Cowboys haven't yet won a Big-12 game and the Cats have only won one conference game and have five losses, thus far...

So, aside from a road game at K-State on 11-16 and a home game against unbeaten BYU on 11-23, the remaining Sun Devil schedule doesn't look as daunting as it once did, does it..??

Of course, the problem with all that is that the Devils haven't won any conference road games, so far, and have to face the Cowboys, for real Wildcats, and Mild Cats on the road...

Furthermore, our starting QB is recovering from an injury, Dilly likes to take unwise risks during games, and our special teams are by no means "special" in any meaningful sense, if you ask most fans, etc...

So, for us battered Sun Devil fans and boosters, the remaining schedule continues to look pretty daunting as we get ready to play our final five games of the season...

We might feel pretty good if we faced the Cowboys, real Wildcats and mild Cats at home but we don't...

While unbeaten BYU has already beaten four teams, two in conference, on the road, and is looking forward to beating the punch-less Utes in SLC this next weekend...

They also get struggling Kansas at home before visiting Tempe and ASU on 11-23 and then get Houston at home to finish the season...

So, it sure looks to me that the Cougars are probably the team to beat for the conference title as we play out the remainder of the Big-12 season...

Not bad for a team that was voted #13 in the Big-12 by the preseason media...

And, out of the top five preseason picks, only #2 ranked K-State remains in the running for a conference championship, as #1 ranked Utah, #3 Oklahoma St, #4 Kansas and #5 AU are now all located in the basement area of the Big-12 standings at this point in the season...

Who could have predicted that at the beginning of the season and what does that mean for our Sun Devils looking forward to its final games in November..??

You tell me...

On another Sun Devil note, I'm looking forward to our preseason BB game against iconic Duke later today as Bobby returns to the school where he starred before entering the NBA, etc...

Duke is considered a Top 10 basketball team this coming season as are Big-12 teams like Kansas, Houston, Baylor, Iowa St and AU...

Talk about daunting when considering the BB teams in the Big-12, right..??

Good luck to our BB Sun Devils later today in Durham, NC, and to our football team that faces all sorts of daunting challenges facing them in their remaining football games...

Or, is it an opportunity to not only get bowl eligible but end the season on a big high note..??

G'day Mates and Go Devils!!!

"We're having big waves of negativity on the road. 12, 15 minutes from hell gets us down all these points, and then we play another three quarters of good football.” ASU is looking to steady its play away from home and record its first Big 12 road win

“This is the ultimate wake-up call. If we don’t advance this, then we don’t have a lot of hope this year." An exhibition game that ended with a crushing 56-point defeat to Duke clouds ASU's season preparedness level

letting their DC Ted Roof go, he has been around forever with a number of pit stops........Malzahn also announced he is turning over play calling duties to their OC, so Gus trying to move the chains for a late season bowl game run

Be interesting to see what happens, Roof was pretty average so sorry we will miss him

Been thinking about this this week. If you give him a running a game and play action pass, he sees the field well and has good instincts.

The recruiting front up until the last couple of weeks has been relatively quiet. When the season began, ASU had just a couple of 2025 class spots left to fill until wide receivers Michael Scott and Adrian Wilson decommitted.

I don't follow NFL that much, but just read JD was 21/23 yesterday with two TDs and a win. Don't think we appreciate what we had and wonder where he would be at if he had not left ASU.

Just occurred to me that the leading Heisman candidate is a Running Back in a Dirk Koetter offense......

The bye week allowed me to gather some basketball information, not only regarding the scrimmage ASU won but also about the team's current state.

“We’ve spent about 30 minutes on it in two days with that group to see who can help us there while maintaining their redshirts. Our young guys are athletic and fast, and pretty soon can help us.” Some of ASU's freshmen have quickly showcased their in-season growth

Unfortunately can't make it to the game and I have a solo ticket next to a Sun Devil. Amazing seat (Level L, Sec 19, Row C)
