    Sun Devil Basketball 17-18

    The whole Pac-12 is horrible. ASU lost narrowly and probably shouldn't gave gotten in (though I'm happy they did), so did UCLA. UA got its doors blown off. I think only Stanford is still alive in the NIT. Meanwhile, they're spending $150MM on sports venues, the Pac-12 TV contracts is...

    Who will be the Suns new Head Coach?

    Mediocrity and douchebaggery among sports teams start at the top, not the middle. Sarver is just another iteration of Sterling.

    Suns @ Pelicans game thread 2-26-18

    Since you've posted here 34,000 times, why don't you just 'splain it to an ignorant wretch like me. Apparently I don't know shizznit about teh sunS, and you may as well convene the class to ejimicate me. The fact remains, the Suns stink as a team. They have not demonstrated any desire to...

    Suns @ Pelicans game thread 2-26-18

    FTFY. The sunS are on pace to win 24 games or so right now. That'll give them 3 straight years of < 25 wins. That would = the worst string of losing since the teams in the late 80s. The difference is that the 80s teams carried huge reputational risk in the wake of the drug scandal. No...

    Suns @ Pelicans game thread 2-26-18

    Of course tanking has something to do with it. People are out here lamenting Booker's minutes, but if you rest him, you only bolster the contention that the sunS are actively campaigning to be the crappiest team in the league? The synopsis of this game is, "Unibrow cleaned up the offensive rim...

    ASU Baseball

    Devils aren't even sniffing the top 25 in BBWA rankings right now. They need to prove a point. Namely, that they can at least compete with the PAC-12 teams in the top 25--Oregon St., Stanford, and UCLA. It's a really south-east heavy ranking right now. ASU is young, they need time to find...

    Miller once again does it again!

    Now people are digging into Miller's contract: https://www.azdesertswarm.com/basketball/2018/2/24/17048502/arizona-wildcats-basketball-sean-miller-contract-buyout-mistake-fire-fbi-investigation-replacements

    Clippers @ Suns game thread 2-23-18

    FTFY. :D Look, we all have to agree the Suns are terrible. The only national pub last night's game got was a video on BSPN showing the Clips off to a 19-0 start. I don't blame the players, or coaches, or even the GM. Blame lies with (a) Sarver, and moreso (b) the MF'in 76ers, who introduced...

    Miller once again does it again!

    Should Miller be on his way out? He should at l;east be suspended pending the investigation. When your own Tucson Hansen writes that he needs to go, that's a pretty stinging rebuke from the hometown media. I'm sure that Hedake Smith was just as much a pain in the ass for ASU. I've seen it...

    Miller once again does it again!

    The ESPN article starts out: "FBI wiretaps intercepted telephone conversations between Arizona coach Sean Miller and Christian Dawkins, a key figure in the FBI's investigation into college basketball corruption, in which Miller discussed paying $100,000 to ensure star freshman Deandre Ayton...

    Wells Fargo Arena Facelift & A 5000 Seat Hockey Arena

    Sun Devils travel to Ann Arbor to face #13 Michigan tonight & tomorrow. You can stream the game from AM1050 in Michigan, or it might be a regional game on the Big10 Network. They just finished sweeping #1 Notre Dame last weekend. In perspective, Michigan has more NCAA titles (9) than ASU has...

    2018 Olympics

    ^--and the Canucks were clearly pissed having silver medals around their necks. One sore sport took her off during the Star Spangled Banner. "Silver medals? Yuck. So very yuck, in fact, that, after the U.S. women’s team scored an epic, gold medal-clinching, 3-2 shootout victory over their...

    How good is Booker?

    He's a RFA after next season. I don't see how that is "years to come." I don't think you can understate the crush of a young man's brain knowing his boss is doing everything he can to run his team like Mr. Kruger ran his business on "Seinfeld." That S+++ wears on people. Any sort of...

    How good is Booker?

    Booker is good enough that the Suns only lost by 10 last night, instead of 46. Unfortunately for Los Suns, the rest of the league is now wise to him. And if the Suns don't stop this "let's look like the Washington Generals every night so we can get the 1st pick...again," he will test the...

    Who do you want to be ASU's next football coach?

    Some people would say most of Herm's NFL teams were merely practicing on Sundays. :D These kind of shenanigans might work at Abalama, because Nick is busy winning that ugly-ass trophy every year. But it ain't gonna work at a mid-level Pac-12 school. I don't see this working out. Reference my...

    Countdown to Opening Day 2018

    I see, said the blind man. I guess no love for Spring Training. ;) In other news: P S. Miller wins arbitration against the team, despite being a 3-12 schlep with a 6+ ERA.

    Suns @ Warriors game thread 2-12-18

    I forced myself to watch the 4th quarter because I was OD'ing on Olympics. The Suns threw up more brick than Local 3 of the Craftworker's Union. The Suns aren't losing games--they're getting their butts blown off. You know it's bad when EJ is not only talking ad nauseaum about Payton's hair...

    Countdown to Opening Day 2018

    I mostly like Spring Training out here. Especially now that the Giants are gonna suck and it's a lot easier to get tickets for the lawn at Scottsdale Stadium, which is two blocks from here. Well, except for the days when the disgusting, unwashed Cub fans take over the bar district. Only in...

    Wells Fargo Arena Facelift & A 5000 Seat Hockey Arena

    Ray Anderson is just living in a bizarro world. He throws money at anything. What are the two most successful NCAA teams from ASU? Baseball (5 titles) and women's gold (8 titles). But since they don't generate enough cashish for Ray's pockets, what did he do? He shipped the baseball team...

    Who do you want to be ASU's next football coach?

    The millenials won't listen to Hermy. A neighbor of mine has a child working in the AD's office. I had to email YouTube links of Herm's famous rants, because half the office had never heard of the guy.

    Wells Fargo Arena Facelift & A 5000 Seat Hockey Arena

    The Cats always had a better club hockey team. The only reason ASU got a D-I team is some fool who made a $30MM restricted donation on the caveat it be used to create an NCAA hockey program. I believe the operative aphorism here comes from Alexander Pope. "Fools rush in where angels fear to...

    Spurs @ Suns game thread 2-7-18

    I liked the AZ Republic the first time...when it was called USA Today. For the last 10 years, we've burned through players, coaches, GMs, front office execs, etc.. Only one turd has remained in place: the owner. Sarver made his money in banking. Bankers don't like to take risks. Plus he...
