ASU 6, Oregon State 5: Beavers Beaten Back
The whole "collegiate sports" thing is a complete mystery to me. I mean, I went to university, but that was for, y'know, academic purposes. The rabid passion which it ignites here is absolutely inexplicable. So, even though I have been living in the United States for approaching ten years,...
Developing: Padres bring on former ASU coach Pat Murphy as a special assistant
Dan Hayes from the NC Times is reporting via Twitter that the Padres have brought on former ASU head coach, Pat Murphy as a Special Assistant. Things I know about Pat Murphy: He once told an ASU player's mother that her son was a poster child for birth control. He coached Craig Counsell at Notre...
Lets have a Playoff
[digg=http://digg.com/football/College_Football_playoff_is_a_reality] There is all talk about the 6 BCS conferences want the money for themselves which is very true and the fact that Bowls mainly the Rose Bowl are stuck in the 1960's and are unwilling to change.

Last week, the university announced...

Hitting the Links
Slow time of year with baseball coming along, and all the other major sports on hold for the moment. Some links for you: The most interesting story to me? This one here at AZC, which talks about ASU building this $22 million dollar Weatherup center to "woo top recruits and maintain top flight...
