Obviously winning this game would pay even bigger dividends, but consider just the build up for this game:
Todd Graham was on Houston radio this week, the Houston Chronicle is doing a major story on him for next week, Shawn Slocum is on College Station radio next week, etc.
You can bet that all the Texas recruits that ASU had offered are being made aware of this information.
Just in the last ten or so days there have been 40-50 stories by the national media and needless to say that if ASU played Cal Poly, for example, in week one they would be getting a fraction of the attention they are getting now.
