But otherwise, you're completely right - your baseball team is flat out great and the basketball team is very good (much better than ours - we're the doormats in that department).
On a side note, my daughter was a cheerleader at a Pac-10 school (not the one she currently attends), her freshman year, and the one away game she got to attend was at ASU. I got a call from her that Saturday afternoon that went like this, "Mom, it is SO gorgeous here, and it's 80 degrees! There are palm trees! Can I transfer here next year?" Yeah, sure honey, that out of state tuition won't be a problem.  . |
That's because my beloved Sun Devils have kind of, hmm, sucked the last couple of years in football. U of A won the territorial cup! That sucks!!!!!
LOL to your daughter. That made me smile.
So now the Pac-10 has become the Pac-11 (that just sounds odd) and it could become the Pac-16 (which sounds odder).
So now my question to the sports officianados (totally spelled that word wrong), how would this change the football season? I looked online and ASU already has their football season planned. With the adding of Colorado to the Pac-10, if ASU isn't scheduled to play them, don't they have to be scheduled to play them? Then who (well what team) would they get "rid of" to compensate? And what if it becomes the Pac-16 are teams expected to rearrange their seasons to compensate for the new schools in the Pac-10? Or would this be something that would be started next season?
What about the bowl games? Wouldn't the dissolution of a conference change the bowl games? Right now the Pac-10 (if I remember correctly) does the Holiday Bowl, a Pac-10 team can make the Insight Bowl. I don't think they can make Fiesta Bowl anymore (they could at one point). Those are the only ones I can remember (probably because two of the three are done in AZ).
