Well - ASU's shot at ending the season ranked just went out the window. Two blowouts in a row.
I thought ASU was supposed to have this amazing high powered offense and Andrew Walter was supposed to compete for the Heisman.
So much for that idea. I guess he'll be sticking around for another year now that his draft status is down the tubes. _________________ "Only small minds want always to be right."

I'm really sorry to hear the bad news about ASU (though not really).
Maybe you can be consoled thinking about my alma mater, a much finer academic institution, that being NORTHERN ILLINOIS UNIVERSITY . The Huskies are currently undefeated, having knocked of Maryland at home and Alabama at Alabama. Yesterday they toyed with Iowa State for awhile before finishing them off...at 4 and 0, having defeated two TOP 25 teams, and owning either the number 20 (coaches) or number 17 (ap) spot on the ranking, they're doing quite well. As is their star, Michael Turner, who's the nation's leading rusher and a Heisman short list candidate.
Hope this helps you get over the disappointment you feel for ASU, (though you're probably pretty used to that feeling) _________________ -Colin

Lots of people here are from the "Illiana" area.
So what gives?? We don't like cold winters, rainy summers? lol
We do have good Universities and college sports!
Not to mention the Pro's --the Cubs finally won!
Have no clue what's going on with the Bears or Bulls.
Too busy hiking!

Northern Illinois University is located 60 miles west of Chicago in the town of DeKalb, Il. NIU and DeKalb would be the largest town between the official Chicago burbs like Aurora and Naperville and the city of Rockford.
DeKalb is famous, aside from its fine academic institution, for such things as being the hometown of Cindy Crawford, the birthplace of barbed wire, the world headquarters of DeKalb Genetics, and the fall ritual of Corn Fest. It has, in recent years, grown to be quite the modern town, however, its roots, its core is that it has a strong foundation in academia.
Famous NIU graduates include Dan Castellaneta, the voice of Homer Simpson, the current Speaker of the House J. Dennis Hastert, Paul Sereno the world-renowned paleontologist and professor at the University of Chicago. Colin Kelly, amazing high school special education teacher and his wife Pat Kelly, phenominal speech-language pathologist. Colin's brother Thomas John, advertising editor for Northshore Magazine, Pat's brother Brad, teacher, sister Jennifer, and sister Katie, both speech language pathologists. Arizona Hikers newest member and member of the AZH Swim Team, Tony, is also an NIU grad, as is his wife Karen.
Like I said, it's quite the school. _________________ -Colin
