Youtube is our friend. Will have to watch this for pre-game! This was before I discovered ASU football, so I missed it the first time around...

I might have to revisit that myself. It was really an exciting time. At 16 years old I got to go to a couple of games with my Dad who was an ASU graduate. Very special times, the Suns were new and Kush had ASU cooking. I miss my Dad.

The family makes it extra special.

Perfect, we'll be wearing the traditional maroon and gold uniforms.

:“Sam, you’re not going to prove you’re the better quarterback. I’ve got bad news for you there. Ultimately, he’s in real trouble here. I mean, I applaud anybody who talks a good game. But ultimately, Quinn Ewers is still one of the better quarterbacks in the country. He gets overrated a little bit, but this is not going to happen for Sam. Texas should win this game. I think they’ll win pretty easily too.”

ASU's Skattebo: 'There's nobody out there that can stop me'

Confidence has been a theme for ASU entering the Peach Bowl against Texas, and its two best offensive players have led the charge.

Damn, I was 19 then. What the hell? I don't feel this old.

We are seeing a bad kicking night basically torpedo Boise St chances of winning the game. This isn’t making me feel any better about the ASU kicking game

 

[AZCB34]

The various miscues by Boise St are exactly the kind of things ASU cannot do against Texas

Any Finebaum takes mean less than nothing. Ask him how he's feeling about his big "Bama beating the crap out of Michigan" prediction right about now.

Enjoying the 3-hour college game day, including discussion of ASU. Can't say I've seen this before.

 

[Mainstreet]

I'm hoping ASU didn't eat all the candy.

I think the Ducks must be playing first since that is all I am hearing about.

 

[Mainstreet]

Now all ASU has to do is win out to become national champions. This is what dreams are made of.

The Sun Devils should treasure each moment. These opportunities do not come along very often.

 

[Mainstreet]

Texas may be without their starting right tackle.

The game last night gave me additional hope. Boise was competitive and if not for so many unforced errors who knows? I think Texas is not materially better than Penn St…in fact PSU is likely better.

ASU has a better QB, full RB corp than Boise State. WRs minus Tyson probably a wash. OL…hard to tell but probably a wash.

Defense is an issue since ASU gets very little pass rush and the Texas WR are talented and athletic.

Go Devils

I was 16 and Spagnola was the toast of the town but I remember it like it was yesterday, just wish I could actually remember yesterday. I know what you mean about not feeling this old. Some days, I still feel like the younger me but some days my body insists on telling me the truth.

I so like seeing those old style maroon and gold uniforms, with Sparky on the helmet.

When I was much younger, where one could walk by the playing field, I often thought how could anyone lose wearing these uniforms.
