The Evening Edition: Links and Thoughts From Inside Sun Devil Nation

As a blog writer, I have the option of doing pretty much anything I want in regards to content and style. This is a blessing and a curse, because we are not subjected to deadlines and pressure from higher-ups in the same way that a writer at the Arizona Republic is. It also allows for more creativity in the writing process.

I want to make House of Sparky the best ASU sports blog in existence. We have some quality competitors who help keep ASU fans up to date on everything that happens in Tempe and beyond. Their work ethic keeps pushing me. I don't want to be just another blog; I want to be THE blog.

With that said, I'm starting a new feature here at House of Sparky: The Evening Edition. Nighttime morsels of information for you to ponder before you go to sleep. There's always something interesting here at House of Sparky, ASU-related or not.

Lets start with some random sports links.
