The Long Snapper. No, it’s not a type of fish. It’s actually a football position and it’s one that is discussed so infrequently in game coverage that the casual fan might not know what it means. My conversation with UCLA long snapper and NFL prospect Kevin McDermott began with his admission that in every interview […]

Preview Week 10… #22 Arizona: Road Trip to LA
November 3, 2012 by
Away games are bittersweet events. It is nice to be able to stay at home, eat food that isn’t overpriced, and (if you’re in the ZonaZoo) not have to stand the entire game. But there’s that little bit of sadness in knowing that the players can’t hear you cheer for them, knowing that you didn’t […]

October 30, 2012 by
ASU (5-3, 3-2 Pac-12) lost in a heartbreaker to UCLA (6-2, 3-2 Pac-12): 45-43 in Tempe on Saturday. A field goal as time expires can be the best way for a game to end, or the worst, depending on what team you’re rooting for. In ASU’s case, it was the worst. The loss to UCLA […]

I’ve heard a lot of words describing last week’s game against Oregon: humiliating, painful, laughable. Clearly not a positive outlook. I’d imagine the Sun Devils had to do a […]
