We have yet to play a game with Woody as the DC. Let's not put too much faith in what he will deliver until we see some results. It's June, there is no way of knowing which team is better. I do...
Quite frankly, I believe our fans are likely to be in for a rude awakening when we begin competing in the SBC in all sports. Most of our teams are likely to be middle of the pack to bottom of the...
Very true. We would not be in the Sun Belt if not for our football success. Yes, the Sun Belt gives us more exposure but we wouldn't be doing this if not for football. The Sun Belt wouldn't be...
Most of additional scholarships went to players already on the ASU roster.
All true. However, on the baseball front, two of the newcomers are playing in the NCAA tournament while only one SoCon team is playing.
The SoCon will survive and be just fine. Sure, it will...
Very thoughtful post and one that I think puts things in perspective.
No doubt the SoCon is in a period of transition and has lost some heavy hitters. But, I do believe the conference will find its way and the purported additions will bring their own strengths to the...
Will be an interesting SoCon basketball tourney in March 2014 with so many folks departing.
Good luck to the Phoenix in their new home starting in July 2014.
Also hoping the SoCon can...
I believe in time the conference will be just fine. I don't think basketball falls off that much and the baseball certainly holds it own with the addition of Mercer. Football will take the longest...
Actually, I think that is a pretty balanced conference. It will be interesting to see how over the course of time the newbies in football get up to snuff. I was at ASU when we joined the SoCon and...
Emphasis on "quipped." I don't think he was being completely serious.
One certainly can't speak for the future but in 2012 the SBC was higher rated than CUSA and won the majority of head to head meetings.
I'm looking forward to the day we have something positive to announce about FBS, and the sooner the better. However, it does suggest some insecurity when one has to resort to ad hominem attacks. I...
Does it increase the value of our college educations to put down that of another? I don't get this discussion, which is probably good sign for me to drop out of it.
Endowments are usually there for the academics. My guess is that a lot student aid is provided through those endowments to help defray the expense of attending a private school. I'm sure monies...
For the record as March 2012, ASU had an endowment of $76M. The reality is compared to many of our more established conference brethren we have a smaller endowment and in some cases significantly...
Arsenal fan here.
Amazing how quickly we are willing to jump on the roller coaster. My guess is at best there are several more ups and downs before there is any resolution to this ride. In the end, we may get off...
I wouldn't be surprised if that is what happens.
I'm not convinced the athletic admin has warmed to the SBC deal. I have a feeling that the half of fanbase that has supported Cobb in the Moore mess will turn on him if we don't wind up in the SBC....
I think the use of the word "fire" is dangerous. It is likely that the discussion lead to the decision to retire, I doubt that Cobb "fired" Jerry.
I think the athletic admin knows that this has to be the right choice. This will be Cobb's most important hire since his arrival in Boone. His basketball hire has proven to be a disaster to this...
It was the most emotional I've ever heard Jerry in a postgame interview. He lingered a long time on the field after the game. It really made think this was going to happen today or tomorrow.
Let's face it, ODU was the class of the CAA and got a seed. Just because the CAA denied ODU the chance to get the autobid doesn't mean the actual autobid deserved one as well. In reality the...
