The Devil Daily Dish: Reflections on Boise State, ASU

I haven't written anything on this site for six days. In fansite time, that is an eternity. In truth, it doesn't feel like it was long enough.

The Sun Devils thoroughly embarrassed me against Boise State. Alone on my parent's couch in Vermont, it felt like my pants dropped on stage in front of a crowd of thousands.

This was a team I vouched for on a daily basis. "No guys, it's different this year. The Devils are ready!" I was all too happy to declare to anyone who would listen.

At the end of the day, they are just as bad as they've always been, finishing with a worse record in 2011 than in 2010 (which seemed blasphemous after the USC game). I need some time off from the Sun Devils, and thankfully I can have it. Here's to 2012 and Todd Graham.
