    In February Sark signed the top-ranked recruiting class, which is certainly a positive development in his tenure, but it also puts even more pressure on him to win and win now," Abraham said via Inside The Irish. "The sanctions are over, the depth should be much better, the overall talent is there, so there are no reasons why this team shouldn’t at least win 8.

    "There's always pressure to win at USC, but an argument could be made that Steve Sarkisian was given some leeway his first season, what with NCAA sanctions and all."

    the sanctions at USC + the amazing rebuilding of Owen12 Warshington (including powerhouse victories over USC (when they played Aaron Corp that one game. Hardy har har) and Stanford (when they played Nunes that one game. Hardy har har) into an annual contender for one of (the lesser) 37 bowl games has given Sark lots of wiggle room...UNTIL NOW. National media is going full tilt that Sark has them in the playoffs. He's a QB guru, best play caller in America (everybody says so), recruiting phenom, sleeps (it off) in the office...oh wait, now that Stephanie's gone he doesn't have to do that any longer... the co-eds arrive in a few weeks and things should get real fun shortly thereafter.

    Cook the puts on Sark's career.

    52-24 and his first Hail Mary screw up by his DC. Maybe he can top those in Tempe come Sept. 26th? Lose that and he is on the hot seat. Add UCLA and he is lucky to make it as far a Kiffin the following year. Talent was never the issue in those games.

    Does that mean they'll beat ASU by 40 in Tempe this year?

    PS - Any update on Davon Durant? Thx.

    Any prediction on your trip to Tempe? We won't need Durant for your team. Whole new defense, a return of the same crappy offense, with yet another starting QB. If we could win in a hurricane at your place, just think of the score? I was being nice but you have to talk shit with nothing to back it up. Your team is toothless and the Cougs might actually beat you ass a second time under Leach; another memorable Sark loss - LOL. Will it be 10 or 11 in a row this season?

    Huh?
    SunDoovil76 is a fucktard on scout too. He's either old, or loaded with meth, or a border jumper...most likely abundance.

    HTH
    He's good for unintentional humor. If you take his posts at face value, you will think that ASU is Alabama or Ohio State.

    ASU had a 2015 recruiting class of 25 kids. Unfortunately for them, only 20 have enrolled. And of the 5 who did not was the cherry of their class, who beat his girlfriend (and got caught) prior to a single ASU practice. Another one or two didn't cut it with grades. And a final one thought it would be funny to hold up a teammate or two with a BB gun wrapped in a towel.

    Is Graham's god squad drivel sincere? I'm highly skeptical.

    They interviewed Graham Cracker during a Diamondbacks game. I'm a believer (not because of that interview).

    Graham is a pretty good coach. If I were an ASU fan I would be concerned about the late season finishes though.

    Graham is a pretty good coach. If I were an ASU fan I would be concerned about the late season finishes though.

    I think Graham is getting figured out a bit - he is such a gambler with pressure and blitzes that they can give gigantic plays away in bunches to good QBs that are well prepared. Or they can engulf shitty ones like Golson.

    I have a hunch that their offense takes a noticeable step back. Bercovici is a pocket passer, so the zone read stuff that really made them difficult is mostly gone. And WR is a problem for them. A converted RB and a UCLA cast-off are their WRs this year. New pocket passer with WR issues - not a great look.
