XII Championship ASU v Iowa St Saturday 12/7 10a

[speedy]

I like CS. How can anyone not?

I don’t like how he is regularly looking over his shoulder as his pads are pointed downfield though. I feel he is sacrificing speed doing so, and let’s face it, he is a bit slow for the league.

I like him lots though. Reminds me of a dude I played with in HS- Ricky Mesa.

Skattebo has plenty of game speed. And those he can't out run, he runs over.

Also, not to be overlooked. He has incredible balance and knows how to run.

Putting the off arm down to keep balance is something that seems to be forgotten in the transition to college and NFL football. Skattebo takes full advantage of this.

He's been clocked at 21mph, so he's not slow, but he's also not lightning fast. His balance and vision are elite, so he will find a place in the NFL.

A beautiful picture of Hines Ward, family and Jordyn Tyson.

Plus he can catch the football, so he is an all around running back.

Kenny and the staff will be a big draw as well. The players love him, and fans know how much he cares about the program.

No question. Dillingham is a major, major factor. He called this his dream job. We damn sure need to make sure it stays that way

 

[Evil Ash]

At the very least, this team deserves to host a first round playoff game.

They should but unfortunately it seems the committee values Boise States close loss to Oregon over our tougher schedule.

Its amazing that Boise State played the undisputed #1 team in the country and their strength of schedule is still in the 80s.

Bobby Hurley and Kenny Dillingham greet each other after the game. I hope the winning is contagious.

Where is the baseball coach?

Let's face it - Tempe is a far more attractive option than nearly any school in the conference. Can't obviously make the same comment in the Pac.

Some decent cities in there, but quite a few truck stops.

Fort Worth
Orlando
Boulder
Houston
Salt Lake City
Cincinnati
Provo
Manhattan
Ames
Stillwater
Morgantown
Tucson
Lubbock
Waco
Lawrence

How ironic would it be if ASU played in the Fiesta Bowl, a bowl they were instrumental in founding, after being shunned for a bowl game in 1968.

SEC Championship is a dud... at least in the first half. Not particularly impressed with either of these overrated teams.

A touching moment with Kenny Dillingham's wife, Briana and Cam Skattebo.

I invite all Arizona sports fans to enjoy the moment. It's a rarity.

Game was 1am my time here so I missed it but just watched the highlights. Those 2 long runs where Skattebo busted multiple tackles those were amazing. I know he's not going to win the Heisman if it goes to a RB it'll be Jeanty with good reason but the Heisman pose from a kid from Rio Linda who started out at Sac State is pretty cool.

Yeah by now I've decided he WILL play in the NFL. I don't know what role but he WILL find a way IMO

Wishing you the best. I hope you are getting all your sports.

For the most part I am. Devilmaycare gave me a big assist with his recommendation on a VPN to download. It allows me to set my location as Phoenix so I can use FOX Sports streaming to get free previews, incognito and watch our games on FOX. And I assume I can do the same thing for the Seattle game with Paramount + so we will be the local game in that on CBS.

I've been doing the same thing with UCLA basketball games even using FOX streaming.

If I miss a game I'm either asleep or doing something, or power outage which we have daily.

Sorry about the power outages. Otherwise, it sounds like you have things figured out.

Who would have dreamed ASU would have won the Big 12 Championship prior to the season?

I could have dreamed it. I didn't but I could have. Instead I told my friends that with a little bit of luck for us and a really bad day for the Wildcats we had a fair chance to finish with 3 wins this season. And I really thought I was being generous. Never happier to be so wrong.

Second half is better - looks like overtime now.

I wish he didn’t feel the need for self promotion. He’s getting plenty of pub without doing that. Don’t make it about yourself. Make it about the team. Also, jeanty.

I had a 6th grade teacher with a quote on his wall that read, "If you truly are the best, you need not boast, others will do it for you."

Last year the committee kept FSU outta the playoffs bc they lost their QB. If Georgia wins this and is SEC champion, shouldn’t they also be penalized bc they wont have their QB and therefore not get a first round bye? I mean yeah their defense is impressive, but so was FSU’s. Gotta be consistent.

I don't think that's how the world works anymore though I wish it weren't so.

FSU is in the ACC not the SEC or B1G. Not the same.
