"Maybe we'll win by 3 touchdowns."

That was just his response after being tired of being asked about Nebraska kicking their asses. "Maybe we'll beat them by 21 points."

He was in no way predicting it. He was being absurd because he thought the incessant questions were absurd.

Thanks, dad.  I'm aware of the context.  I also think people are putting WAY too much on a kid speaking confidently.

interesting sidebar i haven't seen covered..... it's probably canon to asu people.....

the fiesta bowl was created for asu after they were passed over for major bowl games in 68/69/70

68: wac champion wyoming did not get a bowl invite
69: wac champion asu did not get an invite
70: asu went 10-0 but could not get a 'major bowl' invite so they made their first and only appearance in the peach bowl beating 8-3 north carolina 48-26

this was the final peach bowl played at GRANT FIELD (the gatech stadium)

the game moved to fulton county stadium the next year

asu finished #6

asu won the first 3 fiesta bowls in 71/72/73

asu won the first top-10 fiesta bowl in 75, beating corn 17-14; asu finished #2, their best finish ever

Our players all give canned/boring media replies. Other teams players speak more freely and off the cuff. It’s a noticeable difference. It makes them more interesting and gets them a lot more attention and following than our guys get. For example everyone on Twitter loves Skatteboo right now, that’s a fucking big deal. Wish our media team was saavy enough to notice because it’s hurting our brand.
Dude! We are here to fuck their shit up on the field.

We can say nice shit on The View after we win it all...28f1c6c2f05813f65c697c42158a7e73.jpg

Blue bloods should not act like the commoners.

You forgot:

7a: Insufferable middle aged dipshits spend 3 hours cutting themselves and flinging their own shit in the Surly Horns game thread

8. Insufferable middle aged dipshits spend the next 10 days cutting themselves and flinging their own shit in the Quinn Ewers thread

What I would give to be a middle aged dipshit instead of an aging one.

We'll stop Scataboo, but I do worry if they'll dink and dunk their way to some TD's. Leavitt is a good QB. 

My only fear is they do unhinged stuff we can’t prepare for. Their coach seems Ike a dude who will throw out a playbook with 2-3 weeks if he can when outtallented.

I concur. Dillingham is a damn good coach. He'll have something prepared that we won't see coming. I don't see this game being some blowout like other people predict unless it's gotten out of hand in the 4th. But the first 3 quarters will be hell, imo.

Leavitt was a huge transfer take by ASU and almost as crucial as Skat’s transfer two years ago for the 1st time HC. Kenny D has turned that program around, almost overnight. I think they won three games the previous season.

Good for them, as I’ve always kind of liked that program. If you ever go watch MLB spring ball/golf buddy week, you can’t help but tour their campus/stadium at least half a day. Go Sparky, except for tomorrow!

Hook’em!!!

Wait, we don’t have a thread blowing him like he’s at Colorado? wtf.

Surly is definitely being “Surly” on New Year’s Eve! I thought my only problem was getting my wife out of the house for our dinner reservation, which we’re already late for. Surly will be Surly and that’s why I’ve loved you bastards since I’ve found you on the internet!

Hook’em!!!

College Football Playoff betting action report: ‘All the money is coming in on Texas’

By Ben Fawkes

The college football world was hoping for a March Madness type of feel for the first-ever 12-team College Football Playoff, with upsets galore. Instead, the four first-round matchups underwhelmed, providing plenty of time for holiday shopping. Favorites went a perfect 4-0 against the spread, including three fairly non-competitive performances by underdogs Indiana, SMU and Tennessee.

Will the next batch of games be more competitive? Sportsbooks and the public don’t seem to think so. At least in two cases.

Both Penn State-Boise State and Texas-Arizona State feature double-digit spreads favoring the lower-seeded Nittany Lions and Longhorns. And the latter has been an especially popular pick with the public. The Longhorns -12.5 is the most-bet side at BetMGM nationally in terms of total dollars as of Monday afternoon.

“All the money is coming in on Texas,” Seamus Magee, a BetMGM trader, wrote in a text message to The Athletic. “We need Arizona State to cover +13.5.”

The enthusiasm for the Longhorns extends to the futures market as well. Remember that massive $1.5 million wager on Texas to win it all at +390 odds? The ticket is still out there at Caesars Sportsbook.

Interestingly, the Longhorns’ opponent, Arizona State — the biggest underdog among the College Football quarterfinal matchups — is getting the most love from sharp bettors. The Athletic talked to several bookmakers who had taken sharp action on No. 4 Arizona State – which had gotten as high as a 14-point underdog at some books against No. 5 Texas – to push the line down to -12.5 or -12.

John Murray, the executive director at The Westgate Las Vegas SuperBook, told us he received a wager on Arizona State +13.5 from a “very respected player.”

Even though respected money has come in on Arizona State to cover, sportsbooks will likely need the Sun Devils to do just that, as public bettors are piling on Texas.

“We would love to see ASU cover, and then Texas win the game, so we get our Arizona State liability off the futures book,” Magee added.

While the Texas game will be huge for the books, it isn’t the only game in town. We chatted with multiple bookmakers to break down where the betting action is on the other three College Football quarterfinal matchups.
