Why is that? Don't you think "Oral-B" has a chance?

That was terrible. I couldn't make it through the whole vid.

lmao they are actually serious

Normals? Heh...

Proud heritage no doubt

They will be eternally grateful to the Thieving Thirteen.

They are proud of that?

But but the games played before they officially became asu don't count!

Really overdoing this Utah matchup -

Had to lookup what a "normal" school is:

http://peoplesguidetomaricopa.blogspot. ... l-asu.html

The school was established as an institution to instruct teachers on how to teach the norms of society to their students, as well as agricultural and mechanical skills.

Big hair dude was ahead of his time, added 3 inches to his unofficial height in the program guide:

So you're saying that ASU started as a vocational school.

Yup, sounds about right.

Taught people to be "normal" and probably miserably shortchanged them thus setting up a culture of failure that permeates today.

"Mrs. Peabody, what do I do with the little fork?"
"It says here to jam it into your eye."
"OH MY GOD WHY DID YOU TELL ME TO DO THAT??? THE PAIN!!!!!!"
"Oh dear me, I'm quite sorry Thadeus. That said, 'do not' jam it into your eye. My apologies. Please go see the school nurse and she'll put a leech on your eyeball and maybe another one on those sores on your nether regions you can't stop scratching."

I wonder what the acceptance rate was back then?

So I pretty much figured calling them "Tempe Normal" was a cut down, and I still think that...but then they are giving away tshirts with that on them?

When a downtrodden group takes ownership of the words used to beat them down they end up flipping the script. Like when gay people started calling themselves "queer" and women started to refer to themselves and each other as "bitches" and previous attempts by ASU such as when they started calling each other "diseased whore" and "pizza boy", although those last two attempts were largely unsuccessful.

I wouldn't say they are unsuccessful yet...it takes a few decades of effort. Continue on Normals, you diseased pizza whores.

Have to say ... the title of this thread makes me laugh every ... single ... time! Well done, Katz!

Go Cats!!

For some reason they have decided to wear the tempe normal name as a badge of honor in just the last few weeks

I'm not saying ASU will win, but against Utah they have another chance to capitalize on the "looking ahead" factor of strong teams on a Tempe-to-Tucson road swing.

Yeah, ASU really capitalized on it tonight

Well, that's good. Because they don't deserve to ear the name 'Arizona'.

Speaking of ironic terms they're using as badges of honor, this "Curtain of Distraction" thing is odd. Literally when I first heard of it last year I thought it was some Arizona fans mocking them for hanging a curtain to distract people from the thousands of empty seats. I had no idea what it is. Apparently it got a lot of play last night vs. Utah, "causing" the Utes to miss a few free throws after going 12-12 in the 1st half... THIS CLOSE to swinging the 27-point game in their favor.

And hey, they set a student attendance record! Nevermind the fact that non-students may have set a non-attendance record.

Those wacky Normals. They blow.

All herb has to do is win 20 games next year or the year after....

It's only a 6 game conference losing streak for asu. They've had worse

ASU fans are dumber than I thought if they think there's a chance in hell Archie would not only go to the same conference as his brother, but to our most hated rival.

Ya, this really takes dumb to a whole new level

Alert the National Guard. SunTurkeys fans about to riot on Mill Avenue - all five of them.

Oh Man, you have to laugh at this thread http://mbd.scout.com/mb.aspx?s=43&f=1681&t=13582862.......they are so freaking pathetic, LMAO. I actually felt sorry for them during Lisa Love's last year of terror but their d-bag attitude in football and Jahii's chin-up dunk during the triple OT loss has reminded me 'never again''.

Anyways, this thread on their site is pretty funny as they are complaining about not even owning white ASSU shirts, worried about filling seats, hoping they hand out free t-shirts so they can have something to wear, etc.

Once again, thank you God for giving me the brains and class to attend UA instead of sending me to hell as ASU . Enjoy the thread!

I thought ASU would push Arizona into the top 10 for sure.

It's looking more like the Lady Hoops Board these days....lol. Sorry, even if our Lady's Team won the NC, I wouldn't care much (obligatory support minimum for anything positive on UA) as it's such a joke of a sport (thank you Title IX, Ugghhhh).

I'm loving the state of ASSU Hoops these days and regret ever feeling sorry for them during Lisa Love's Reign of Terror, lol.

Pretty embarrassing, when that's your program's only trademark on a national stage.

As mentioned by Ryan Breon in the Comments sections:

Always the schools that are irrelevant in the sport that pull the gimmicks.

When I first saw this and all the external props needed for it, I thought 'How is this allowed?'....It seems to be excessive IMO....when you are allowed to use so much space and/or use so many props it's getting really questionable.

So where's the line? lasers? flashing tits? fireworks? student use of the PA system? Seriously though, only this kind of crap would you expect at ASSU!

Does Coach K have more wins than ASSU does lifetime?

He trails ASSu by 218 wins. Should catch them.

Guys...the new official colors of ASU are: HEAVY PERIOD (urine + blood clots). You're welcome

Now only if you can hack into their wiki and enter that! Lol.

Their fans are so lame, they just spanked OSU and there wasn't even a game thread! Activity on their boards (except to boast about their Lady Devils) is at an all-time low........As much as it goes against every fiber of my soul, I'm hoping that Herbie can win enough games to keep his job. Their hoops standards are so low that I don't think it should take much, lol.

ASU athletics has single game tickets for 35-50 on sale now.

Is this for real?

Where is the UofA visitors section in the upper deck?

Check out end of game OSU @ Wells Fargo vs. end of game UO @ McKale and note the number of empty seats last 5 minutes in both blowouts. ASU game ended over 2 hours earlier so it's not like the old dudes in the stands had to go home and go to bed.

3/4 of the entire upper section was UA fans last time I was there. Really good layout, not too many bad seats in there. Buy the cheapest and move down

Maybe they had to check in with their parole officer.

I hate to admit it, but I think it's pretty funny. I mean, what else do you expect these guys to do after they've donated their cans of food? Creative. And it keeps you entertained in the midst of some really boring basketball.

12, 20, 29, and 51? What're you talkin' about, KF? Those are really common milestones.
