You would think that a 70-7 pasting over the arch-rival would be enough to pacify Arizona State football fans for an offseason, but if I’m to believe my inbox (which I do),  there’s a sense of nervousness in the air. 

I was in total agreement with Herm Edwards’ decision to pass on a bowl game. I have no problem with Frank Darby leaving for the NFL or Scottie Graham accepting a coaching position gig with U of A.
