Typical Rich Rod team, he left Michigan with a 125th FBS ranked defense

The weather was perfect last night. Hope you guys at the Hog Pit enjoyed the outside patio. Great game, props to the Devils. They played a better game, hung in there, and beat my Cats. Congrats guys. Sorry we weren't there, I'm sure it was great food and great company. Nothing better than this rivalry!! I'm still depressed, but we all know that no matter what the record or season, both teams bring their "A" game, ASU just brought more. Nice job Devils.

We had a great time at the Hog Pit, Mark, Dorothy and everyone there was amazing..

We did miss you there Dan, but I'm sure it was awesome being at the game. 

It was a great game, they both played and looked good.  It's good to see the Arizona Teams finally starting to make an impact in the College Football Sports world.

I like that we have started having events in both towns now when we play.  It makes it more fun.

Oh and I HATE TEQUILA... It's all your fault MARK!!

[Mike P in Tucson]

It was definitely an exciting game.  But always sad to see a game decided by turnovers and injuries.

Mike, I saw a couple of pictures on Facebook.   Were you even AWAKE by the end of the game?

Injuries and turnovers are part of the game. Happened to both teams. Only thing that matters is the final score! Nice to see that ASU talent finally show up. What year is Kadeem Carey? I hope he is a senior- that kid is a stud!

[Mike (AZBarbeque)]

LOL, I was passed out by the end of the game.  Mark kept pouring Tequila down me.  Damn Mark!!!

Kadeem is a Sophomore.  Yes, he is a stud.  Too bad he only had a couple of plays in the second half before he got injured.  Still leads the nation in rushing.  Bruised (hopefully not broken) collarbone.

Both teams played to the intensity level that was expected. Some major league plays and killer hits out there. Talk about a roller coaster ride of emotions watching it all unfold! There are definitely some future NFLers out there. Hopefully it will serve as a magnet to attract top talent to both schools. They and their coaches deserve it.

Special thanks to Mark Smith and his wonderful family for putting on a heckuva party and keeping the fire stoked. My son and I had a great time together with our extended AZ Barbeque family.  Plus he got an advanced course in talking smack!

Plus he got an advanced course in talking smack! 

LOL, there was some hilarious Smack Talking happening as well..

[Mark]

It was fun! By the way, Michael's brave efforts to drain Mexico of tequila has gone viral. There are already impersonations of him out there.

Oh yea great food family and of course lots of Tequila. Special thanks to Mo, Curtis and my wife Dorothy for making the party happen. Oh we are going to do this again for sure. Oh by the way Mike you owe us for a garbage can LOL.

[Mark]

Michael was as sober as a church mouse next to this feller.

I'm not sure Mike remembers having a good time.
