That would be a shirt I'd immediately buy on first sight. It'd be of immediate use for me whenever I attend an ASU home game, which I did last year Vs Colorado. Wearing a yellow surfer shirt and a maroon diamondbacks hat, an ASU fan in line with me for beer was astute enough to recognize that though...

Apparently Chip Kelly wants to focus on the transfer portal, which seems dumb. But Kelly wants to do whatever the hell he wants to do. I dont see it going well for Charles and UCLA. The timing of UCLA’s lagging recruiting couldn’t be worse for UCLA joining the Big Ten in 2024. After the likelihood ...

Figured that account was making a poor attempt at a joke, but no. In my email this morning the official Sun Devils Athletics office sent me this:

My buddy is 36 like me and deep in the throes of online dating the last couple years. It sounds like hell. He's been on dozens of dates the last few years but they hardly ever turn into anything.

Losing last night 3-1 makes for 1 run in last three games and 5 total runs in the last 5 games. The hell happened to the batting order? Pitching is doing their job.

ASU has a bad roster, underwhelming staff and the Pac-12’s worst recruiting class in 2023," he wrote. "All that, and a milquetoast 25-18 record under Edwards. ASU passed on starting over when the scope of the potential allegations against Edwards became apparent. Instead, they’ve emboldened the agg...

So this former child actor is publishing a tell-all this week. Her upbringing in Hollywood sounds miserable. Exploited by her mother (hence the title of her memoir) and sexually harassed as a minor by producers on the set of her Nickelodeon shows. In her book she doesn't shy away from raging against...

Man our friend Ezra is on a roll! And it's just occurred to me how one clear difference between an A List and a B List actor is that B List actors can become more well known (even solely known) for their bad behavior than their minimally watched shows.

I can't tell who's serious or sarcastic re: Chi, but yes, with football season approaching, his broodings in the Chicago Bears thread will be greatly missed if Chi is truly out for the long term.

Comics/Comic Books are an inferior entertainment medium compared to Film/Animation and Novels. Comic dialogue and exposé is shallow compared to the writing a novel can accomplish. Comic imagery and illustration is inferior to what film and animation can bring more vividly to life on screen. Both lim...

There's a lot that this current coaching staff is failing to sell on the recruiting trail. Currently ranked 10th in the conference. Not the level of players you want to take into Columbus in mid-November. Or East Lansing. Or even West Lafayette. Whole article detailing UCLA's "nightmare summer on t...

Only $75?

The secondary market starts well above $200 for the cheap seats. Prices driven by the unveiling of the new, on-campus stadium.

For all of UCLA's upward trending to finish last season and going into this new season, Chip Kelly and Staff are getting completely out-recruited right now by USC, Stanford, Washington, and Oregon. Three of those schools are fielding new coaches and the other (Stanford) is an uninspiring 11-19 these...

After the Red Sox were destroyed by the Blue Jays 25-3 last Friday, it's time to send their centerfielder, Jarren Duran, down to the minors. Not only does he fatally miscalculate the hit, but worse, he doesn't bother to correct his mistake and hustle back to try to show he at least cares. Result is ...

Release of Tennessee’s 18 infractions has similarities to ASU’s ongoing investigation when it comes to improprieties during the Covid dead period. My knee-jerk reaction is to believe that these infractions were activities imported from Pruitt’s days toiling under Saban, who keeps a tighter lid on hi...

Not a Tucson bar but for those in the Phoenix area, The Vine Tavern located in Tempe is set to close after 36 years. A new location is scheduled to open away from the ASU campus which means it won’t be a college bar anymore. Its lot at Rural/Apache was sold to make room for another student housing p...

How are you supposed to pronounce the word MACABRE? Mah-Cobb? Or Muh-Cah-Bray? Muh-Cah-Ber? Webster's definition: "Portraying human injury or death in a way so as to inspiring shock or horror."

This week I'm buying tickets for the Wildcat's Sept 10 homegame Vs Mississippi State. Who knows, with how speculatively chaotic conference realignments are, maybe this'll preview a future conference foe?

What exactly does AAU have to do with all of this?

Since moving to San Diego, I've made a point to attend an Aztecs game every few years, the latest in 2019 Vs BYU.

Can't get tickets for the Cats opener but I'm hoping to go to the Sept 24th home game Vs Toledo mostly because of the new stadium.

The bad taste in all of this is that college sports and the value of any particular program is getting reduced to the size of your media market. The B1G went after the New York (#1) and DC (#6 or 7) markets to no benefit of the fans, stadium attendance, or building rivalries. Maybe Maryland's crappy...

Would be interesting to hear how Oregon reacted to the no thanks in joining the B1G. They are probably not used to getting many no’s with Uncle Phil and his money behind them. Also wonder if they tried to buy their way in? Oregon isn't worth it for the Big Ten because they are TOO competitive. To q...
