ASU football training has swung into gear with their first practice in pads yesterday. I feel for you boys, two-a-days in pads in Tempe. I often wonder if these practices help build up their stamina or wear them down and catch up with them as the season goes on. It would be nice to see them build an indoor practice facility to find out if it does have a long-term effect.
I'm still not sure what to think about this year's squad. The vibe from the players and Erickson is positive right now. However, the vibe from DK was positive a couple of days into training camp last year as well. We will know a lot more about this team after their first two games against San Jose State (coached by former U of Tucson coach Dick Tomey,) winners of the New Mexico Bowl last season, and an improved Colorado squad.
On the baseball front, Wandy "I only throw strikes at Minute Maid" Rodriguez and free agent bust of the year Woody Williams pitched the Astros past the Soriano-less Cubs to win a landmark two games in a row.
Roy O goes up against Carlos Zambrano who owns the Astros with his arm and his bat. I'm pretty sure the guy is hitting something like .400 against us with a couple of dingers for his career. Oh well, it's always nice to win 2 out of 3.
