Nov 8 | Arizona State

Dunno if I'm gonna spend a 100 dollars to sweat my balls off in the nosebleeds.

It's worth it:

Hot and into shockers.

Would marry each one of them.

Weather will be PERFECT for that game. No chance of rain and the average temp in early November is only @ 80. If it's a night game, which ASU prefers, game time temps will start in the mid 70's and finish in the upper 60's.

Well, crap, I guess we better just put this one in the loss column right now. Not taking a shot at you, ResLife, it's just that when I read this stuff, I think, what else do you expect a coach to say? And then these sport writers go out and report a coach's or player's cocky assertion like it's hard news. It reminds me of talking to parents, who all insist that their child is wonderful, brilliant, special, and talented. Then you sit in a classroom and wonder where all of these mouth-breathing, glaze-eyed, underachieving dim bulbs came from.

Yeah but Arizona State will probably be insane on offense.

And I think a lot of coaches play the "we'll have to work hard and see" instead of proclaiming how good they are.

There are actually two watch party locations. The Scottsdale Plaza Resort is in north Scottsdale and is, IMO, where the older fans watch the games.
The other is The Rockbar in Old Town Scottsdale and is more fun.

I should be at this game. Waiting to hear back from some ASU alums about the tickets.

Lol.

Their cheapest tickets to the ND game are $85. Their cheapest ticket to EVERY OTHER game is $17. Notre Dame carries a 400% premium.

 

[STLDomer]

Apparently http://www.irishenvy.com/forums/2014-recruiting-profiles/181245-14-co-ath-kalen-ballage-offer.html could make a big impact for ASU early.

 

[calvegas04]

how much did everyone pay for their ticket? and where are you all siting?

Edward 'Chip' Sarafin of Arizona State Sun Devils announces he is gay - ESPN

 

[HoosierIrish]

Good for him and these kids. With that being said, I can't wait for this to stop being as big of a deal as ESPN makes it. From all of coverage Michael Sam had; I barley learned anything about him as a player. Then highly respected people like Tony Dungy coming under fire for "politically incorrect" statements, it's crap.

On a side note, how do you predict the media would react to a gay Notre Dame player?

Probably the same over-the-top way my friend does whenever I start talking ND: "Obama is pro-choice, but Notre Dame let him speak at commencement. That's not very Catholic."

We've seen in NBA, NFL, and now NCAA all in the past year.

This is the final 'announcement' besides the first baseball player, maybe NHL IMO. Most other sports are more accepting of it I'd imagine, so it wouldn't be a big deal if, say, a soccer player came out. JMO.

Hahaha, That's my family. HUGE on pro-life.

There are more homosexuals at Notre Dame than I would have thought. It could be coincidence, but i met a lot more at Notre Dame through my ND friends than I ever met at IU.

 

[IrishSteelhead]

Well public schools in the state have mostly kids from Indiana, and due to the state's mostly conservative mindset, I'd think more homosexual students would gravitate towards private schools with a more liberal mindset, hence a higher percentage of homosexuals at private schools. No evidence to back it up, just a guess.

I would think where a kid goes to school has more to do with the parents opposed to the student...especially at that age.

I sort of agree. Going to Xavier, there were a lot of gay people there. My caveat is that my roommate was gay, so I met a lot of the gays and lesbians he hung out with.

I would have used the line, "I am a lesbian trapped in a mans body!" It would have to work at least once (and a while).

 

[BobbyMac]

Being a gay guy at ASU is like being allergic to chocolate and working at Hershey's.

I was talking about colleges, and just meant I'd be willing to bet there is a higher % of homosexuals at ND than Purdue or IU.

Come on Region... You KNOW there are more lesbians in Purdue sports than total females enrolled at ND. Always been that way.

You'd be surprised, more and more kids are from out of state due to the tuition being twice the price. IU has a huge east coast presence. It's closer to only about half the kids at Indiana are in state. From people's high school GPA's etc., it seems easier to get in from out of state also. I'm not sure about Purdue.
