Obama Eludes Alan Keyes, Speaks at Arizona State's Graduation

You've won this round, Obama!That's all Alan Keyes, our nation's presidential-protester-in-chief (sorry Glenn Beck), can say after Barack Obama circumvented his ongoing vigil at Notre Dame and delivered Arizona State University's commencement address before Keyes even had a chance to get arrested in Tempe.Keyes' history with Obama is both long and bizarre, and it includes:* Carpet-bagging to Illinois from his native Maryland to oppose Obama in the 2004 U.S. Senate election. Voters rewarded him with a generous 27% of the vote.* Opposing Obama in the 2008 presidential election, and losing an ...

Arizona State Neutral on Hawaii, Notre Dame

The Arizona State Sun Devils are not--repeat ARE NOT--talking to anyone wearing green these days. ASU denies reports by Hawaii's athletic director that it had offered the Sun Devils to test out the new Dennis Erickson regime in an October 20th matchup in Honolulu. When Michigan State opted out of its game against Hawaii-paying the Rainbow Warriors a quarter-million dollar cancellation fee, Hawaii went looking for an opponent that Heisman Candidate Colt Brennan show off against. Hawaii had reportedly offered seven-figures to entice the Sun Devils but to no avail. I think this may be the first ...

Erickson Moves Burgess to Wide Receiver

Dennis Erickson has not coached a game yet for the Arizona State Sun Devils, but the wayward head coach is already making an imprint on the program. Erickson has announced he'll be moving running back Rudy Burgess back to wide receiver for his Senior year. Erickson had recruited Burgess to Oregon State as a wide receiver, but Rudy chose the Sun Devils, who shifted him to running back in 2004, when he racked up 186 yards on 34 carried against Stanford. Asked by the Arizona Republic if Burgess could play both ways, Erickson responded, "It's not fair for him (Burgess) as far as having a great ...

Koetter, Hawkins Offer Contrasts for ASU, Colorado

Going in to this weekend's match-up between Arizona State and Colorado, one coach is 2-0 this season and the other is 0-2, despite playing a Division 1-AA team to start the season. But the difference in their records isn't the only thing separating Arizona State's Dirk Koetter and the Buffaloes' Dan Hawkins.Although the two coaches' careers have intertwined, they couldn't be more different, writes the Arizona Republic, " Dirk Koetter is a CEO type, like Donald Trump. Dan Hawkins is a philosopher masquerading as a coach, like Phil Jackson." But as the past few Lakers' seasons have proven it ...

Rudy Carpenter Rallies to Lift Arizona State

In his debut as the one-and-only, offically-the-starting quarterback for the Arizona State Sun Devils, Rudy Carpenter looked more like former UCLA Quarterback Drew Olsen than like Sam Keller, whom he replaced just days ago. Trailing by 7 just before halftime and tied going into the final quarter, the Sun Devils scored 21 consecutive points Thursday night to defeat lowly Norther Arizona by a score of 35-14. Carpenter threw for 261 yards, two touchdowns and one INT en route to chopping down the Lumberjacks.The reason teams play these "tune-up" games is to help them get out of first gear--and ...
