Today's Topic = Unfathomable
I'm still processing what happened with our Sun Devils this football season...
And, I'm not exactly sure how to measure it in any rational way although we are Big-12 champs...
Now we get to find out where we go next as the behind the scenes political wrangling is taking place at a fevered pitch regarding the playoffs...
I hope and trust that our commissioner - Brett Yormark - has enough juice to get it done for our Sun Devils today so that we end up with a first round bye...
We think we should be there but when is the last time we won a high stakes behind the scenes political match-up against almost any entity like the current selection committee...
Especially, given the back east of the Mississippi River bias that exists in this sort of political quicksand...
Boise St will say they only lost one game and that was against #1 ranked Oregon earlier in the season and never mind about not competing in a P-4 conference, so they don't have any P-4 wins like our Sun Devils, who have also beaten four ranked opponents while the Broncos have only beaten one, twice in UNLV...
Clemson will also come up with a bunch of arguments as to why they should receive a first round bye, as well...
Fox college football analyst - Joel Klatt - has us in with his Top 4 being 1) Oregon 2) Georgia 3) Boise St and 4) ASU
But, enough about all of that...
Yesterday, the Sun Devils came, saw and conquered the Iowa State Cyclones to win the Big-12 championship in overwhelming fashion 45-19...
It doesn't get much better than that, does it..??
I've seen a lot of great Sun Devil running backs since the late 60s but I'm sure I've never seen one like Cam Skattebo...
I've seen many great Sun Devil teams over the years, a couple of which went to the Rose Bowl, but this team is right up there with being special...
Where this all ends I have no idea but the journey has been magnificent...
My hat is off to Dilly and his staff and to our championship team that went from being picked last in the Big-12 to champs yesterday...
Again, it doesn't get any better than this, does it..??
Congrats Sun Devils and thank you for the great ride that my poor brain still hasn't fully processed yet...
G'day Mates and Go Devils!!!
