ASU/uofa Schedule changes:

Looks like uofa will finally get to play a football game in December! Congrats, it's a once in a decade thing!

The Arizona State University football team will play in one of the premier games of the 2007 college football campaign when it plays host to five-time defending Pacific-10 Conference Champion USC on Thanksgiving night at Sun Devil Stadium. The game will kickoff at 6 p.m. MT and be televised to a national audience by ESPN on Thursday, November 22, 2007.

Additionally, the annual ASU/Arizona football game will move to Saturday, December 1, 2007. That game will be televised by either ESPN or ESPN2, which will be determined at a later date. The time will be determined later as well.

Good news for the Devils! With a very favorable schedule, we should race to a good start. With USC coming to town on Thanksgiving (they should be ranked very high), the game on ESPN might draw ESPN Gameday if we are ranked high and there are no other big games on (Last I recalled, there's not many college games on tgiving) that day/weekend. We got Gameday 2 seasons ago for the USC which was awesome!

Also, moving the uofa game to Dec. 1 is great because all the students will be back which will make for a horrible enivroment for uofa. I can' wait!

The last 2 times we played USC on national TV, it came down to the last minute. Far from embarassing
Getting 35 hung on you after halftime at home against a concussed QB wasn't embarassing? Punting the game away in the final minute wasn't embarassing? What short memories you guys have.

The coaching blunder was infuriating, not embarrassing. In both cases, the players played their hearts out and left it all on the field. Carrol has pulled his second half wonders plenty of times against plenty of teams, it's not embarassing. In no way is nearly beating the #1 and #2 teams in the country looked down upon.

Congrats on playing in December for the first time since '98

One embarassing second half is a lot better than 3 embarassing seasons. Go Devils.

Glad to hear this, I hope Erickson can whip the Devils into shape and maybe snatch this game. I wish this would shift the whole schedule back a week, so that ASU could play in less heat.

Talk about a short memory...i was referring to your two dismal 3-8 seasons under stoops followed by a bowl eligible season only to be crushed on your own home field by dirk koetter himself. Go devils
Sadly those seasons are actually shining examples compared to the four prior to that. You might have noticed as much but you were probably too busy deluding yourself into believing ASU is a relevant football program.

Congrats on being a program that brags about playing in December.

The real sad part is that the dirk koetter era football program, puts yours to shame.

Things are looking up for both the UA and ASU football programs. Maybe finally their rivalry may mean something again.

Sadly, USC is into another dominant era, so the rest of the PAC is screwed for years to come.
