What's all this smack talk from ASU fans about?
I have been reading all year how they were going to pummel us into the ground in the Territorial Cup. We all know what happened there...
I swear, I've heard every shameless explanation from these guys.
"We don't give two craps about basketball; we're a football school." Being terrible at one sport doesn't automatically make you a football school.
"The sky's the limit with our football program." Repeating this phrase every year doesn't make the statement true. They're just empty words now.
"You may have won this year, but we've won the last two out of three." True. Except why stop there? Out of the last four, we're tied up. Hell, out of the last seven games, UA has the better record. It's easy to manipulate statistics to make some weak point. Sure, I get it...what you are trying to do is only reference Graham's time as coach. Except, the problem is, that doesn't make a whole lot of sense. In fact, you could interpret the flimsy sample size of three as an indication that the program is beginning to regress. See what I mean?
"We have tradition on our side. We have a better head-to-head record since we've been named ASU." True, except if you wish to reference tradition, please don't conveniently wipe yours away. Naturally, I'll surrender to this statistic as long as you change ASU's founded date to 1958. It only seems fair, after all.
You see, it's all very ridiculous.
