    The Wolverine

    You are a lucky, lucky man, because you can't unwatch it.

    ASU and UofA All Time Great Players; Rankings

    Don't know why anyone would assume Washington and USC would be losses for UA. Those games are as even as any others in the conference. Here's a good maxim: You're almost always in any game in which you can run the ball. And UA, against pretty much anyone, will be able to run the ball. Can they...

    ASU and UofA All Time Great Players; Rankings

    I wanted to revisit this when I had a chance, and then I came across a Jon Talton column that better illustrated anything I could have said. In Arizona, we don't build communities that are worth caring about ... mostly because we don't build communities. We build overgrown prison cells. It...

    Under The Dome (CBS)

    As a hardcore Dr. Who fan, I can say that corny, implausible science does not preclude a great show. But you better show me witty dialogue and characters I can care about. Even SG-1 was intentionally corny most of the time, which made it more charming than goofy. I think people with Nielsen...

    The Official US Soccer thread

    Pretty sure this is about money for Dempsey. He's getting $8 mil a year. Plus, he'll get loaned to Europe in the winter.

    Agreed, but I think we have a chance this year for both schools to break the 9-win threshold.

    The investment in relationships both of these coaching staffs have made -- with players, with coaches, with the community -- will pay off if they stick around. It's a long-term investment. It always pays dividends.

    Ha! As someone who has followed college football recruiting intensely for 35 years and has actually covered it for a good stretch, shake your head at me at your own expense. There are lots of topics on this board in which I offer an unqualified opinion. On this topic, I actually have some...

    Gortat's foot still bothering him

    There's a guy who doesn't want to be traded.

    When they all eventually transfer back, maybe. HA!

    At the moment? It's August. I take it you don't follow recruiting much. Arizona and USC are tied in the conference with 5 total commits. You better be higher ranked than everyone else because you have the most number of guys on the hook. Talk to me after everyone fills out their classes. *smh*

    Facilities aren't the issue. It's all about community pride, or lack of it. Very few are proud of living in Arizona, and in the lifetime of the current recruits, the in-state schools have done very little to instill it. But let's be honest: When both schools have been at their best in the Pac...

    I think JJ was ASU's greatest recruiting victory, and it took half the staff to get him here.

    Montero to 15-day DL

    Don't know why they decided to give Spruill his debut in that park. It's a launching pad. Is it really better than Boston?

    Christian Sam

    ASU just took a commitment from Christian Sam, 6-2/205 OLB from Allen, Texas. It was widely believed he was a strong lean to OU. There was also Baylor, Mississippi and Boise State in the picture. Baylor fans were absolutely convinced he was going there. Not a major blue-chipper, but a pretty...

    It doesn't really matter. It's just a thing to get people paying attention and talking about football. Whomever they pick will be met with a certain amount of anger, frustration and/or disgust.

    Dan Majerle to be named men's basketball coach at GCU

    GCU had a net profit of $142 million for the second quarter, up 19 percent due to strong in-state growth. They are expecting rapid growth into the foreseeable, surpassing University of Phoenix's $1.5 billion-a-year for-profit machine at some point in the next 5 years. GCU has no research...

    For ASU, it's between Randall McDaniel, Curley Culp, Charley Taylor or John Henry Johnson. Those are the 4 NFL HoFamers. For UA, I'm going to guess Tedy Bruschi, Michael Bates, or Chris McAlister. Bates has been to the most Pro Bowls, Bruschi is the most visible, and McAlister was simply the...

    Disney's Planes

    It's a business, yadda yadda yadda, I always understood that, Chap. But Pixar is who they are because they strived be different, better, and this is a big blow to the esteem I had for them. I could care less whether they make money or not. I have no stake in their bottom line. That's no my job...

    Disney's Planes

    That's what I know of Disney the past 25 years or so. They take a legacy franchise, make a woeful-but-super-cheap sequel, and go straight to home distribution. Soccer moms can't get enough of this stuff and Disney doesn't have to spend any money on marketing. Just put it on a shelf in Walmart...

    Kennedy traded to Padres for Thatcher

    Oh, so we didn't trade Kennedy for the remains of Margaret Thatcher? We got live, breathing people? I didn't understand before. That's amazing. I thought MAYBE we might get some young new usher or soda vendor, but actual ball players? It's like Christmas in July.

    Disgruntled star watch

    Aldridge doesn't fit Hornacek's style. Horny probably looks at Love and sees Tom Chambers without the athleticism.

    Mark Asher fired at KTAR

    Is Wolf still doing that Pantera/Respect bit? I don't change channels. I turn the whole dang thing off when it's on.
