Risser’s Ramblings – Sports Along the Line

January 9, 2012 by Bill Risser 1 Comment

ASU football dominates today’s column…

The biggest story has to be Big Brock’s decision to leave ASU for the NFL.  Personally, I think it’ s the right call.  As Paula Boivin accurately stated in her Arizona Republic column this week, If he’s got to learn a new system next year, he might as well get paid for it…

Which leads us to Todd Graham.  Love his enthusiasm.  Can’t wait to see what he does with the Sun Devils.  Not so in love with the way he left Pittsburgh… and Tulsa…and Rice…

Saguaro High School coach John Sanders wins his 4th state title in 5 years and gets canned this week.  He upset a lot of people when he sat his starters the last game of the regular season against rival Chaparral.  Rumor is that he is  interviewing with Graham at ASU this week.  This could be huge if it means Player of the Year Saguaro running back DJ Foster signs a letter of intent with the Devils…

The Suns have held five of their first seven opponents to under 100 and are ranked 10th in the league in defense.  The Suns in the top ten in defense??  wow…

It was a nice win over USC in LA, but the Sun Devils basketball team struggles continue.  No Jahii Carson, leading scorer sophomore Keala King has left the program, and Kyle Cain and Chris Colvin are indefinitely suspended…

For all you MLB fans, there are no sweeter words than “Arizona Diamondback pitchers and catchers report on February 20th, position players report on February 25th.”  Just over 6 weeks away…

Today’s quiz:  Who are Mike Bercovici, Taylor Kelly and Michael Eubank?  Answer: The three QB’s that will battle for ASU’s starting job in 2012…

I’m sure the strike has a lot to do with my lack of excitement about the NBA season so far.  Maybe after the SuperBowl…

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

    Nice bill. I agree with the brock take. I wish he came back, but understand why he is not and wish him the best in the NFL. My prediction… 4th round pick. 3rd string first year, 2nd string second year, of course depends where he winds up.

    And King did not leave the program his arse was booted! Hurts the program and hurts Sendek, but the thing I love about Herb is he does the right thing.

    I love that Sanders got fired. He embarrassed the school on national tv.. and at the same time I love that Graham is looking to bring him in and give another connection to az recruiting. Graham is doing more than I have every seen any coach do to keep az talent at home.
