Risser’s Ramblings – Sports Along The Line

October 26, 2011 by Bill Risser Leave a Comment

It’s been a while since my last post, so let’s get caught up with the sports world along the line…  

If the Diamondbacks run into October has left you wanting more action on the diamond, check out some potential future MLB superstars in the Arizona Fall League.  The Phoenix Desert Dogs play at Phoenix Muni, and the season runs for another three weeks…

Speaking of the Dbacks, check out the great images in this AZCentral story about the history of Chase Field.  Were you at any of these games?

Sun Devils football is back in the polls at 21 after a bye week.  A banged up Colorado team visits on Saturday for homecoming…

So, right about now we should be discussing the Suns and whether or not Lopez should be kept or traded, or can Channing Frye continue his development into a force on the court, but instead, we listen to millionaires argue with other millionaires over billions of dollars…

ASU Men’s Basketball has had three twenty win seasons under Coach Herb Sendek in five years.  ASU had three twenty win seasons in the 25 years prior to Sendek’s arrival…

The ASU Women’s basketball season under interim head coach Joseph Anders begins on 11/11/11 against UC Riverside.  They play at noon right before the men (Montana St.) at 2:30pm.  Doubleheader anyone?

The Diamondbacks have 6 players on the Salt River Rafters AFL team.  Games are usually at 12:35, and with the weather hitting the perfect range, maybe we need to play a little hooky…

Bill Risser, when not hard at work for Chicago Title, can be found at the movies with his wife or on the golf course with his son. He also has a fantasy sports problem, as he participates in 3 NFL leagues, an MLB league, a NASCAR league and a PGA Tour league. Follow him on Twitter –@billrisser
