Risser’s Ramblings – Sports Along the Line

January 20, 2014 by Bill Risser Leave a Comment

We’ve been silent for a while, but Nick has been dropping some not so subtle hints, so we’re back! Loved the renderings of the new Sun Devil Stadium, but really miss the proposed shade structures… Speaking of ASU, new AD Ray Anderson could be the best “recruit” ASU has ever signed… Even with a bump […]

ASU vs Stanford–Not So Neutral

December 5, 2013 by Nick Bastian Leave a Comment

So, the Pac-12 rules call for Sun Devil Stadium to be “neutralized” for the BIG ASU vs Stanford game this Saturday. OK, fine. No matter what, Tempe is Sun Devil Country. You can take down a banner, or two, paint the field how ever necessary to be "fair" and do anything you want. Sun Devil […]

February 7, 2013 by Nick Bastian Leave a Comment

So, the deal with the Cubbies didn’t work out? No biggie. Instead of heading a little bit east to play ball, the Sun Devils will head a bit west to the Tempe / Phoenix border where they will begin playing baseball at Phoenix Municipal Stadium. The lease with Phoenix is for 25 years and it […]

April 5, 2012 by Nick Bastian Leave a Comment

That means I also did not experience the re-birth of spring. I did however, experience the renewal and hope that only the arrival of spring can bring. April is my […]

Spring Training – Rail Life Style

February 23, 2012 by Nick Bastian 2 Comments

Ah, spring is in the air… In Arizona, spring means baseball, hotdogs and apple pie beer on a nice sunny day. Suppose you are a snowbird that has flown south to get out of that nasty cold and away from that strange white stuff that falls from the sky. Well, you’re in luck because I’ve […]

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 […]
