Now more than ever I feel that ASU is a sleeping giant.Sundevil76 said:I realize Miles was not starting but from hearing the score I just have to feel ASU will have a chance in Seattle if the defense does not play better, but both teams will be better by the time they meet. Graham had to clean house in just the way Petersen is doing now with the attutude of players that are not "All In" , which was the motto of Graham's first year in Tempe. That takes some time and our players feel after three years finially the selfish attitude is totally gone. I really adimire your coach for doing the same. I was hoping Anu Solomon would be bad in his first game starting as a redshirt freshman but he is the real deal it appears Dawg fans. Tucson will be a hard place for ASU and Washington to get a win on the road this year.

Can't make too big a deal out of one week. No team will go better than 7-2 in conference. There will be some growing pains during this early period for UW but fortunately our schedule is a joke. I think our defense will be quite good and allow us to be very competitive but ASU is one of a few offenses that scares me. That guy Norvell is a top notch coordinator and I wonder how long he'll remain there, given his rapid rise. Most of us here had Arizona penciled in as a tough game. I think the Arizona schools are rising and the south will be very strong in a few years. Sark is a fuckwad and the longer he's at USC the better it is for ASU and UW.Sundevil76 said:I realize Miles was not starting but from hearing the score I just have to feel ASU will have a chance in Seattle if the defense does not play better, but both teams will be better by the time they meet.

Funny thing is at USC they think it is OK Sark is a "players" coach which to Devil fans means the inmates like Burfict ran the prison.

On your podcast it was stated Washinton HS kids stay home but not the ones in Phoenix, very true until recently. This is the first time since maybe Bruce Snyder local HS recruiting is looking up for the program, which has a decent shot at kids like Christian Kirk. Frankly, why should a piss ant place like Eugene be good even with Nike money? A number of their stars have been from urban areas like Phoenix.Teams like ASU and Washington should be more dominate, high school football here is way better than the talent even 20 years ago. Graham already has some decent local kids committed this cycler and you have a coach that will get big names, but can win with two and three stars. Coaching is better across the boards and its time the media pay more attention to other big cities outside of LA. Neither school has joke for a coach and the sleeping gaint is getting up.

They said on the replay of the ASU game (I forgot who they were playing - Chris Weber State or something) that 66 players were true freshmen, RS freshmen, or sophomores, so Chest just might be right about this being a down year? Graham seems like he could still win 8 games though.

Isn't Damon Huard PGOS's brother?

ASU had a good recruiting class last year in the 20's and a lot of those kids are starting on the defensive side like Smallwood and Calhoun or in the rotation. I think Graham and Petersen are much better at player development and definately having a game plan and calling plays than Seven by a mile. Both are being tested this year and don't think Pete will do a Utah face plant, but wins need to be tempered with program building and putting in a system. 8 or 9 wins regular season would be good for both programs. Coaching does matter unless you are USC, but there it is a national championship or the door.

I think Damon's commentator gig must have been part of UW's compensation for him keeping Sark off the co-ed's.

I don't disagree, but IMO, it kinda felt that way when they came into the league. Kush had a damn good run there, very Peterson-esque. They were a much better addition to the league than Colorado and Utah, still SMH over those "additions".DerekJohnson said:

Edit - I should qualify my use of sleeping giant in this context. ASU came into the PAC8 as a "giant" from a lower tier conference. I remember having discussions with folks that sounded a lot like those surrounding the idea of a Boise State or Utah joining a "power conference". Some felt ASU was in for a rude awakening, others felt they'd make the conference tougher. IMO they were poised to make the conference tougher. They were already playing in a stadium that ranked among the largest in the PAC8, had fantastic fan support, expectations of winning big, were able to successfully recruit the southwest, and beat big name programs on the field.
