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.
