ASU – A Shocking Upset
After watching my Nittany Lions go down to the Buckeyes, I needed a distraction. I had to get out of the house and forget about the game. Sure, the Lions are still in contention for the Rose Bowl, but another loss to the perennial powerhouse proved that Penn State hasn’t yet reached the pinnacle of the sport (read CFP). Close. But not there just yet. … Continue reading ASU – A Shocking Upset
ASU – A Surprising Upstart!
While I follow Penn State Wrestling, I’ll admit that I’ve never attended a match – or any college match for that matter.

Penn State Hockey comes to the desert!
Just a few short years ago, the Penn State Men’s Hockey team was essentially a traveling club team – competing against lower-level competition in aging facilities around the northeast. They were one of the elite teams at their level, winning multiple championships in the ACHA League under Coach Joe Battista, aka JoeBa. Even so, they were considered to be the equivalent of a … Continue reading Penn State Hockey comes to the desert!
Blackout in Tempe!
Usually, Blackouts occur during the hot summer months of July and August in the desert, when air conditioners are running nonstop, 24 hours a day. On this relatively mild October evening, the ASU Sun Devils, under Blackout conditions, pulled off their largest upset in 21 years. I’ve attended my fair share of ASU games over the years, but I wouldn’t consider myself dedicated fan. That … Continue reading Blackout in Tempe!
