    When will HC Graham leave for a bigger deal??

    Gerhart was always coming in with the option to play QB. Where he started at was always up to him. The only reason ASU had him at safety was because that's what he wanted. At the time, he was quoted as pointing out the likelihood of a short QB making it to the NFL was not good, and he saw his...

    When will HC Graham leave for a bigger deal??

    It's funny how these things work out. The '84 class was heavily boosted by the addition of everyone's top QB, John Walker, out of Marcos de Niza. He was a consensus top 3 or top 5 QB that year. He couldn't beat out Van Raap, he was the rough equivalent of a 3-star QB. Those four years under...

    Will Sutton reminds me of Darnell Dockett

    I think Sutton definitely improved his draft stock this year. He's going to have a lot to discuss in interviews, since he has never, not once, taken the field at his listed "267 lbs." That's just hilarious. He played most of 2012 at about 303 and got down to about 280 by the bowl game. He added...

    Dawn of the Planet of the Apes

    The script was put together by a lot of people. I don't think the producers liked how dark the first one was, and had comedy writers try to spice it up. The whole thing felt uneven to me, but I thought the potential was there. The director of this movie also directed Cloverfield. I expect lots...

    When will HC Graham leave for a bigger deal??

    Wow. Lots to respond to. Instead of quoting, I'll use bullet points and paraphrase: - Sorry, 82, this class is not even in the Top 5 all-time ASU classes. I would rank them this way: 1982, 1971, 1977, 1983, 1993. All of those classes were ranked highly (by loose and varied metrics of the day)...

    Recruiting

    Natrell Curtis does not have a scholarship offer from ASU. I'd be surprised if he has a scholie from anywhere in the Pac-12. Don't know his situation, but I think it's safe to say he's uninvited most everywhere.

    Suns to trade 2014 picks for Star?

    Y'all are a bit emotionally tied to this current roster. IMO, every single player on this roster is trade-able. Not a single one of them are untouchable, because none of them are super elite players that can elevate a team to a championship. It's just hard to imagine who would be available that...

    Tanaka is DBacks #1 Target

    The headline is funny. Is there a semi-competitive team in MLB that doesn't have Tanaka as their top target?

    Avatar: The Way of Water (aka Avatar 2)

    Story-by-numbers formula. I felt that was by design. The movie cost so much to make, they had to appeal to the widest audience. No risk-taking allowed. Not apologizing for it. Not a fan. Just sort of ... understanding.

    Recruiting

    I don't know how solid Smallwood's other offers were. It was pretty clear none of those schools you mention above had him in their primary plan. He was also downgraded from a four-star to a three-star on at least one service. His ceiling is very high, but his every-down motor and his...

    Matt Davidson Traded for Addison Reed

    Davidson seemed primed for a career as a DH. He was never going to be an everyday player for the D-Backs.

    When will HC Graham leave for a bigger deal??

    Texas wants to make a big splash. They're looking NFL and college. They don't want anyone who isn't use to the bright lights or big games. Graham isn't even part of the conversation. Texas is likely to wait until after the championship game and put their best foot forward for Jimbo Fisher...

    Suppose the White Sox offer Chris Sale for a package with Bradley as the top piece

    He would arguably be the best starter in the NL, which is a mouthful these days. At least Bradley-for-Sale would be starter-for-starter. That deal can't include Gregorius, though. Bradley + no other everyday starters.

    Recruiting

    The Gump Hayes commitment is huge. Of all the RBs ASU has on the line now, he's the one who could have the most immediate impact. I would prefer Hayes play RB and Ballage play LB. I'm just kind of meh on Ballage at RB.

    Awesome. Hope this means he can work on some of our multi-country players to join the team.

    Caption This Picture: Deal Done

    We don't know what to do? Somewhere in here I've got the old decision-making flow chart for organizational advocacy. There it is. It says trade young pitching for free-swinging designated hitter.

    Pac 12 Championship: Stanford @ ASU

    Stanford's tackles vs. ASU ends was a matchup nightmare. It was one-on-one and Stanford's tackles were CRUSHING our guys, getting seal inside. They could bounce outside and get five yards downfield before seeing any ASU defender. Instead of moving the ends from 5 techniques to 7 techniques, ASU...

    Doctor Who

    This whole show is one big glorification of deux ex machina. From its very beginnings, the regeneration of the Doctor, to every major plot twist ever since, is the most convenient of resolutions. The cleverness of the show is in how in manages to put the burden of fallout of convenience on its...

    No tender for Hudson, trade Holmberg for 5.5 mil in cash savings...something's up

    There are only so many things I can be passionate about. Defending an admittedly baseless theory on D-Backs developing pitching isn't one of them.
