This is a project I have been working on the last couple of months. Probably the most impactful, meaningful thing I have written and it's an important topic, one not easy to address.

The rumblings are true, I have been laid off by our parent company. I fear many more good people to come. Thanks for outpouring of support. It does help. You get knocked down you must get up again, I will.

I really don't get ASU fans. Complain that there isn't enough money in the athletic department, then complain more with a naming rights deal that brings a ton of that in.

Remember a few weeks back when there were some guys "de-committing" from ASU? By now you now know why. They knew what else was coming in. The rest of the Pac-12 should be concerned about what ASU is doing.

Arizona State is your 2024 NATIONAL champion in men's swimming. First for the school which was 2nd a year ago. Sun Devils dominated, 523.5 points. Distant second was Cal with 444.5. Florida 3rd at 378. That is one commanding win for Bob Bowman and his guys

This week is always a reflective time for me, 6 years that everything went to hell in Cali, losing my job and Jerry in span of 5 days. Not reflective in depressing way. More of an empowering way. Got through it, learned a lot about myself in process. Live life. It is too short.

I've always thought Kenny Dillingham was right choice for

I have to think ASU will land good replacements for the departing coaches. Between Herm and Al Luginbill, they know EVERYBODY. ASU is an attractive landing spot and have a great QB in place in Jayden Daniels. What is not to like?
