PAC 10 Expansion Officially on the Table

PAC 10 Expansion Officially on the Table

I think it would be great if the PAC 10 (12?) expanded in the near future under just about all circumstances. As long as the deal includes a Utah/BYU or CU/Boise State type combo and not a Fresno State/any other school combo.

A football conference championship and the conference's own network would be great bonuses as well in my opinion.

The latest episode of 18 And Life is live!

Episode 4 of 18 And Life now live, featuring Pac-10 writer Jon Wilner

Just your friendly reminder that you can listen to the newest episode of the Pac-10 hoops podcast by visiting the link above. Lots of subscription options there, too.

We spend an entire segment breaking down the Sun Devils, who we feel have been overlooked in most circles. But if there's someone who can appreciate the value of excellent defense, it's this WSU fan. Also, our featured guest is one of the best in the business, San Jose Mercury News writer Jon Wilner.

Best episode yet, if I do say so myself.

2009 ASU Basketball Preview

Our friends over at All Pac 10 have put up an interesting preview of the 2009 ASU basketball season.

While I disagree with the theory that Eric Boateng will actually contribute to our team this season, it is a good write up that gives props to Derek Glasser for his leadership abilities.

ESPN CFB Mock Draft: ASU Goes #40

ESPN CFB Mock Draft: ASU Goes #40

ASU squeaks in for the last pick, edging out North Carolina.

"Let me first apologize to North Carolina, Pittsburgh, South Florida and TCU. Almost, kids. You all made it on my board, but I have to share cyberspace with Maisel and Schlabach and they did not appreciate your inherent beauty. But I have to go with the Sun Devils as the last team in based on a 61-50 record this decade, highlighted by a 10-3 mark in 2007. And I'm betting the 5-7 clunker last year was a blip, not the beginning of a downward trend under Dennis Erickson. Plus, who's going to complain about traveling to Tempe? Not me."

Alright, I will take it. Let's also hope he is right about last year being a blip.
