Title: ASU vs Cal?
Post by: AZWildcat on October 20, 2010, 06:17:58 pm
Anyone got any predictions....other than "depends on which Cal will show up"? Will Erickson have job come Sunday? Vegas has Cal -3pts, any thoughts?

I think it is "which ASU team shows up". 

Home field doesn't mean much to me on this one, and I would not be surprised to see a big output from the Sundevils.  I would also not be surprised to see an implosion.

They have had flashes of really solid play amid stretches of terribly undisciplined play.  I honestly think Cal has proven to be a mid level pac 10 team this year, and it will come down to ASU trying to save the season (and DE's job?) or folding the tent up early.   If they win, they have the gimme next week before facing the under-rated but very beatable USC team riding a 3-0 streak.   If they lose  ........

I think ASU beats Cal or ASU beats ASU.  There is a lot of shoulda coulda woulda talk lately but it comes down to coaching ie Wisconsin loss and Oregon St loss.  I hope DE is gone after this year and we can lure Mike Leach if only so I can here the post game speeches.  GO DEVILS

I hate to say it, but I think ASU by 9.  Sure hope I'm wrong.

I agree with Crash. ASU by two possessions but controlling the game much more convincingly than the score says. CAL and UCLA baffle me.

Got whupped, didn't they? :D :D :D :D

From a previous post by force:
Actually ASU is one scary team... outscored the number 1 offense in the country in every catagory against the number 1 defense in the nation...Held the number 1 offense n the country to 4 touchdowns....with their defense.. like they did wisconsin's offsense.........  they fix their mental errors.... it will be all over for any opponent..... that's how good they really are....

And I know the Mildcat fans will counter.. however.. one touchdown against CAl? really? and the defense got a break with the foot out of bounds on the cal td...... Iowa way over ranked....... with pac 10 play.. at the end of the season... once again.. the Mildcats will be the ONLY team in the pac 10 NEVER to be at the ROSE BOWL.. and in the PAC 12... probably Utah and Colorado will get their before them......  the cats haven't been tested yet........when they play and beat a good team.. I will let you know.............lol


Maybe now you realize Cal is better than you thought?  Or maybe it is just that asu is worse than you thought?

Now I don't think Cal is better than we thought or ASU is worse than we thought, but ASU certainly doesn't know how to put it all together and that's all coaching.

Sad part is, Erickson has done wonders everywhere else he has coached.  Not sure why he just can't put it all together here.

They have the talent, they just can't execute like they need to.

Watching the "Good" teams play on Saturdays makes you wonder why ASU just can't figure it out..  We should be right up there with the Oklahoma's, Alabama's, Nebraska's, etc.

As a fan, it's frustrating to watch, knowing the talent and just not seeing it perform...

Completely Agreed Mike. I'm confident that boosters who donate big money to the program want to see a change. He!! I want to see a change. The sooner you realize there is a serious problem, the sooner you can fix the problem. Let D E go this week.

This should say it all: Cat fans want "another year" for DE.  And another.  And another.

I thought he was gonna get fired at half time........

I don't think he will get fired.  If he has another losing season, he will throw his coaches to the wolves to try to keep his job.

He is done either before the end of this season or after the season is over.........  If not then our AD will be on the hot seat too...
