Visiting Nebraska this weekend. He’s gonna get dropped.

Right here:

I only bring this up because the AU AD has released her strategic plan for the Cats during the next five years...

Here are some of the items listed on her plan...(source-"UA 5-year strategic plan" by Michael Lev in Daily Star today...

Having at least 75% of her teams being represented in postseason play each year...

Achieving a winning percentage of 60% or better for all team sports...

Achieving a top 3 finish in Big-12 All-Sports standings within five years...

Winning at least five team championships per year within five years...

Achieving a 5% attendance increase in all sports on a yearly basis...

Growing the Zona Zoo involvement by 10% annually in all sports...

Ensuring that 85% of corporate sponsorships have multi-year contracts...

Increasing total partnership revenue by at least 15% annually...

Securing a minimum of at least 10 new partners every year...

Hosting 90 community and alumni outreach events each year...

Growing social media followers by 5% annually...

Driving over 65 million visitors to Arizona Athletics broadcasts and digital channels...

Achieving $27 million in total fundraising revenue by June 2026...

Increasing the donor base by 10% within five years...

Achieving at 10% increase in season ticket holder base and a 25% growth in group sales within five years...

Achieve a top 3 Big-12 ticket ranking in attendance across all sports within five years...

Balancing the schools athletic budget within a year...

She sums up the Cats mission this way..."to develop and graduate leaders, win championships and unite our community through the power of sports"

So, what are at least a dozen goals for our Sun Devil athletic dept in this new college sports landscape..??

Is it to aspire to greatness by crossing our fingers and hoping for the best that seemed to be president Crow's mission statement regarding Sun Devil athletics in the past, IMHO...

The Cats have won championships in both basketball and baseball while we continue to underachieve in both sports if you ask me...

At least we've won a football championship this past year...

So, what are Rossini's goals for our athletic dept given that the Valley is at least four times as big as the Tucson area..??

Or is it unrealistic to expect to have the same type of championship goals as our rival because there is so much more to do in the Valley, etc...

Go Devils!!!

Quick recruiting update

That's what Lindy's football magazine is predicting for our Sun Devils this next season...

They have us winning the Big-12 and making the playoffs with a bye in the first round only to have to face Ohio St in the quarterfinals...

We will be the #4 seed like last season with Ohio St #5 and, as a result, the Buckeyes will have to play a team like #12 seed Boise St...

So, we would have a match-up in the Rose Bowl against Ohio St like we did in 1997...

They also have us ranked #14 in the country...the highest ranked team in the Big-12 with Texas Tech at #18, K-State at #20, BYU at #21, Iowa St at #22 and Baylor at #25...

Both Sam Leavitt and Jordyn Tyson are highly rated with Sam deemed the 8th best QB in the land and Jordyn the 3rd best WR in the land...

So, what do you think as we have some real star power and a lot of experience returning at just about every position, along with some depth at those positions...

The magazine concludes that the Devils were in a lot of dogfights last year that they won and that trait should bode well for them in this upcoming season...

I don't know about all of these glorified expectations for our next football season, although I'm confident that we are not going back to those 3-9 days, either...

All I know is that it would be great to continue being a Top 25 team each and every year...

Go Devils!!!

Sounds like Tim Healey looking to purchase a New Hip! Not sure if Joe is going to be the donor, or if one of us can provide a capable replacement for Tim so he can continue to call games this yr!

Without much fanfare, Baylor was one of the best Big 12 teams down the stretch last year, winning its last six regular-season games. Can that momentum create a Bears team that will battle for the conference championship? Zach Smith, the Baylor beat writer for the Waco Tribune-Herald, shares his impressions of the team ASU will face in its 2025 Big 12 opener.
