LET'S TALK FOOTBALL!

[u/secretbil]

What a great first game as a fan. Forks up 🔱🔱🔱

[u/Feeling_Question_221 → u/secretbil]

Morgan State getting that late-night ESPN+ spotlight, gotta respect the payout game grind. That stadium's gonna be half empty by the 3rd quarter but the diehards will be vibing with some desert heat and cheap concessions

[u/AFotogenicLeopard]

There's a lot of flying over oceans this season. Let's do this next week, and hopefully they realize Tamu is not Morgan St.

[u/RyanTheBruce]

Good shit, Devils! Let's prove it next week!!

[u/DillyDillySzn]

70-7 is my 2nd favorite score after 31-28

[u/Late_Criticism8745]

This game was very fun but I still don't feel like I have a good sense of how the season's going to go. High ceiling, low floor. That o-line and an early bye scare me that even if we start the season strong we could crumble in the back half

[u/bellamy-bl8ke]

Morgan state needs a field goal they cannot lose like this

[u/Cactus_Brody → u/bellamy-bl8ke]

inshallah

[u/EmuMan10 → u/bellamy-bl8ke]

I want just to U of A still a “better” win

[u/EmuMan10]

Oh my god we’re keeping the record against u of a hahahahahaha

[u/asu08]

It would be disrespectful to Morgan State to end this game 70-7. Somebody has to score at least a field goal

[u/bellamy-bl8ke]

Yeah fette needs to nurse the bench a bit more

[u/Late_Criticism8745]

yeah keene is a much better backup than fette

[u/RyanTheBruce]

Fix this protection Holy cow

[u/Kinesys11]

...they can just do that?? We mercy rule'd them?

[u/AFotogenicLeopard]

It's still surreal to see Cutter on the Sun Devils, especially since people in Lexington were glad to be rid of him. I'm not sure whether the scheme here at UK was the issue or what, but I'm glad he seems to work well under Dilly; it probably helps that Dilly was also a QB coach before coming back to ASU.

[u/301jo]

Is it over yet 😭

[u/AFotogenicLeopard → u/301jo]

They shortened the last quarter so everyone could go home before anyone gets injured. We respect you guys for continuing to try!

[u/TeeDub27 → u/AFotogenicLeopard]

Not to mention it’s 1am EDT M State is tired

[u/301jo → u/AFotogenicLeopard]

Thanks for the 600k 😭 and the experience

[u/301jo → u/[deleted]]

Lol 😂

[u/Cactus_Brody → u/301jo]

you're a champ for still being here, hope you guys pull off some upsets in the MEAC!

[u/420BlzItRocko → u/301jo]

I’m sorry homie ❤️

[u/bellamy-bl8ke → u/301jo]

Oh honey I’m so sorry

[u/BradyGalaxy]

FETTE WAP

[u/DillyDillySzn]

“Sam Leavitt going down”

Yep, the SDFC basketball scene lost a real one that day

[u/ThePopesCock420 → u/DillyDillySzn]

I heard his AND1 mixtape was going to do numbers on YouTube.

[u/EmuMan10]

Oh we shortened the game

[u/AFotogenicLeopard]

Yes Fette is in!!!

[u/jsg_nado]

I had no idea you could even do that

[u/SkepsisJD]

They can agree to shorten the quarter? I have literally never seen or heard of that before lol

[u/whitepepsi → u/SkepsisJD]

Do they just make up the game clock rules during the game? Add a second here, remove 5 minutes there.

[u/AFotogenicLeopard]

Wow, lol I've never seen that before.

[u/Archer-Saurus]

Score hit harder against UNRB honestly

[u/BobbyHuckleberry1947]

Man fuck this shit

[u/sobergophers → u/BobbyHuckleberry1947]

To be fair this is a crazy bad matchup anyways. Should have never been allowed to schedule this lol. Have a good night friend.

[u/EmuMan10 → u/BobbyHuckleberry1947]

Sorry dude

[u/EmuMan10]

I really didn’t think we’d cover

[u/Crimzon17]

Love it when both my teams win hehe

[u/BradyGalaxy → u/Crimzon17]

You just live to see the world burn

[u/Kinesys11 → u/Crimzon17]

DOCTOR!!!

[u/sobergophers → u/Crimzon17]

Ain’t no fucking way you’re a fan of both. Only excusable situation is if you had children that went to each school lol

[u/asu08 → u/sobergophers]

What the fuck is that flair

[u/Crimzon17 → u/sobergophers]

I just thrive off the negativity associated with this specific flair combo

Real answer: I don’t follow CFB that closely. I just like to root for Arizona teams .

[u/jsg_nado → u/Crimzon17]

Root for ASU and NAU instead

[u/asu08 → u/jsg_nado]

Fuck I would respect NAU and U of A more than what they have now

[u/Crimzon17 → u/jsg_nado]

I’d love to have a triple flair of ASU, UofA, and NAU lmao

[u/EmuMan10 → u/sobergophers]

I have a friend that went to asu for undergrad and u of a for law school

[u/musicmlwl → u/Crimzon17]

Burn the heretic!

[u/EmuMan10 → u/Crimzon17]

WHAT ARE YOU

[u/eddie_vercetti → u/EmuMan10]

At least my flair is because my niece is going there and maybe me too if things go well. But dunno what sicko goes for UA/ASU

[u/jsg_nado → u/eddie_vercetti]

Your flair is totally fine. Anyone that hates NAU needs to be admitted to a clinic. Flagstaff rules

[u/Crimzon17 → u/eddie_vercetti]

Wild Devils or Sun Cats FTW, whichever you prefer ;)

[u/EmuMan10 → u/eddie_vercetti]

We’re chill with NAU. That’s perfectly fine

[u/Crimzon17 → u/EmuMan10]

Well… I’m half you.

[u/Kinesys11]

Best scoreline the good Lord has ever blessed us with

[u/EmuMan10]

Kneel it out to honor 70-7

[u/theopression]

Zero effort on that qb run. But preserving his health for the season is fair I guess

[u/BRayne7]

Does Jackson He have eligibility left? Put him in

[u/EmuMan10 → u/BRayne7]

He deserves to be the man that gets us 77

[u/jsg_nado]

Big man reception!!!

[u/Beneficial_Present29]

UofAss 🤝 Morgan State
Getting 70-7'ed

[u/StateNuckies]

I’ve seen enough. we’re winning the natty

[u/RyanTheBruce]

70.... ahhh memories!!!!!!

[u/VIPORTV]

UofAss fans look away 🫣

[u/TeeDub27]

Yes we did hang 70 on northern Nogales community college 🔱🔱🔱

[u/xASUdude]

We're getting history tonight

[u/sobergophers]

70 fucking points, U of A fans getting flashbacks

[u/secretbil]

Where are the Morgan St. fans

[u/jsg_nado → u/secretbil]

Probably asleep considering it's 1am there

[u/sobergophers → u/secretbil]

All 6 of them forgot there was a game

[u/DillyDillySzn]

70-7 eh?

[u/theopression]

70-7!!

[u/Anakin_Cringewalker]

70-7

An auspicious sign

[u/DanboyC5]

70-7 lol

[u/eddie_vercetti]

69 DUDES

[u/bellamy-bl8ke]

Jesus Christ this game is actually gonna break the scoring record

[u/AFotogenicLeopard]

If Louisville beats Ole Miss, I'd say this weekend was golden, lol.

[u/bellamy-bl8ke]

Oh my god it’s JUST halfway through the 3rd

[u/bellamy-bl8ke]

Traffic leaving the stadium is backed up LMFAO

[u/DillyDillySzn → u/bellamy-bl8ke]

I hate leaving games early

I’m proud of the fact I stayed the entire game when we lost to Fresno State

[u/bellamy-bl8ke → u/DillyDillySzn]

You stayed through Fresno state?? Braver than any marine

[u/highs_n_lows]

I went to ASU and my young brother went to Morgan state, still so weird these 2 teams are playing each other

[u/Typical_Platypus_414 → u/highs_n_lows]

I think it's our first FCS game outside of the Big Sky

[u/ThePopesCock420 → u/Typical_Platypus_414]

We play U of A every year though?

[u/highs_n_lows → u/ThePopesCock420]

We do but we only been in the same conference as them when we joined the big 12, so a couple years now.

[u/EmuMan10 → u/ThePopesCock420]

Lmaooo

[u/AFotogenicLeopard]

Holy shit, an UNLV player just got disqualified for blatant targeting, lordy. Don't need anyone else with a busted-up face like the kid from Indiana this afternoon.

[u/BradyGalaxy]

I just feel really bad now honestly

[u/NtsejMuagKoj → u/BradyGalaxy]

I don’t. I want more

[u/EmuMan10 → u/NtsejMuagKoj]

I don’t want to outdo 70-7 though

[u/bellamy-bl8ke]

Alright Morgan state you’re down by 50, calm down

[u/AFotogenicLeopard]

That QB is getting frustrated for Morgan St. I hope they do better in their conference games.

[u/bellamy-bl8ke → u/AFotogenicLeopard]

They already have a win! They’re just unfortunately dealing with Kenny’s first game without the Leavitt family breathing down his neck

[u/BRayne7 → u/AFotogenicLeopard]

It’s the backup I believe

[u/eddie_vercetti]

Backup QB converted to a TD, not bad.

[u/Cactus_Brody]

UNACCEPTABLE MISTAKES /s

[u/DillyDillySzn]

The Cardinals won’t win the Super Bowl we can tell you that much

[u/eddie_vercetti → u/DillyDillySzn]

About to be 25 years since I became a Eagles fan at SDS

[u/TeeDub27 → u/eddie_vercetti]

Go Birds

[u/eddie_vercetti → u/TeeDub27]

Go Birds.

[u/Permeance_Flux]

Reminiscent of the notorious Georgia Tech v Cumberland 222 - 0 shellacking.

[u/Anakin_Cringewalker]

What ive learned today is that dilly has no chill this year LOL

[u/DillyDillySzn → u/Anakin_Cringewalker]

Man got sick of dealing with the Leavitt family so we got Darth Dilly now

[u/EmuMan10]

Hey guys, remember the last time we were up this big?

[u/bellamy-bl8ke]

Kenny is playing this game knowing A&M’s coaching staff is currently watching, and he’s doing it perfectly

[u/Anakin_Cringewalker → u/bellamy-bl8ke]

A&M basically only has screen passes to work off lol

[u/bellamy-bl8ke → u/Anakin_Cringewalker]

And ironically that’s all Missouri state gave them to work with tonight

[u/jsg_nado]

I kinda don't want to break the all time scoring record since the current one is against the pussycats. Seems inevitable at this point though.

[u/dukemetoo → u/jsg_nado]

You mean the 79-7 game against Colorado State in 1969?

[u/bellamy-bl8ke → u/jsg_nado]

The only way to not do that is to just flat out stop playing the game well, and Kenny would never allow that. I do like the idea of u of a only being second best, though :)

[u/musicmlwl → u/jsg_nado]

That one is still immortalized down the road though on a billboard

[u/bellamy-bl8ke]

We’ve put so many running backs in this game I swear they’re just pulling random kids out of the stands and handing them a jersey

[u/AFotogenicLeopard]

Some of y'all need to give this back up a break. Expecting perfection immediately into Keene's first set of plays is wild.

[u/Typical_Platypus_414 → u/AFotogenicLeopard]

Agree, Keene's fine and a great backup option, he's just a lot closer to his ceiling. Still feel very comfortable with him should he be needed.

[u/BriskManeuver → u/AFotogenicLeopard]

Judgment is part of the fan experience

[u/MannOfSandd → u/BriskManeuver]

Doesn't have to be

[u/MannOfSandd → u/MannOfSandd]

Or a more freeing way to live. Depends on your perspective. You do you, boo.

[u/BriskManeuver → u/MannOfSandd]

Thats incredibly boring.

[u/BriskManeuver]

Hes #2? I dont like it so far

[u/RyanTheBruce]

Man low throws....

[u/TeeDub27]

Every time the announcer says Morgan State it sounds like Oregon State to me

[u/jsg_nado → u/TeeDub27]

Moregan state

[u/AFotogenicLeopard]

This cross state game with Cal and UCLA is good.

[u/BriskManeuver]

Damn his throws are very off

[u/Merlyn_]

I don’t like Keene’s release. Looks so odd

[u/bellamy-bl8ke]

Let’s get giggey with it!!

[u/BriskManeuver]

Hope we see some backups this drive

[u/bellamy-bl8ke]

ASU has already outscored A&M. And A&M genuinely looked shaky for a full half.

[u/Typical_Platypus_414 → u/bellamy-bl8ke]

I like that Kenny's been pulling a bunch of crazy shit out as well, give A&M scouts a bunch of guesswork to sort through

[u/bellamy-bl8ke → u/Typical_Platypus_414]

And A&M is very one dimensional. They are FANTASTIC at it, but they’re one dimensional nevertheless

[u/musicmlwl → u/bellamy-bl8ke]

Texas State is no slouch though, they had our number for most of the game when we played a few seasons ago

[u/bellamy-bl8ke → u/musicmlwl]

Texas played Texas state, not A&M

[u/musicmlwl → u/bellamy-bl8ke]

Whoops thanks

[u/BenchWarmerAlliance → u/musicmlwl]

Still I think they played North Texas, who is a much better team than Morgan State, so you’re not wrong.

[u/jsg_nado → u/BenchWarmerAlliance]

They played Missouri state - CUSA team, similar level to north texas. They went bowling last year.

[u/Archer-Saurus]

Hyper-local comment but Tempe finally expanded Orbit service time on game days, that is a massive W.

[u/Cactus_Brody → u/Archer-Saurus]

Huge

[u/eddie_vercetti → u/Archer-Saurus]

It took 8 years.

[u/Archer-Saurus → u/eddie_vercetti]

Used to pray for times like these

[u/mambaslaughter → u/Archer-Saurus]

Jeez, long time coming

[u/Merlyn_]

Onside kick pt 2

[u/530josh]

WHY A TV TIMEOUT

WHO THE FUCK IS STILL WATCHING THIS GAME THAT CAN EVEN BE ADVERTISED TO

[u/Anakin_Cringewalker → u/530josh]

Only alcohol advertisements will work on me 🔱🔱🔱

[u/SkepsisJD]

This is starting to get mean, going for it on 4th down in your own territory and getting a td is objectively hilarious lol

[u/Anakin_Cringewalker → u/SkepsisJD]

Like what did Morgan State do to Dilly LMFAO

[u/pizza-dogs]

you get a touchdown! and you get a touchdown!

[u/Anakin_Cringewalker]

Dilly has no mercy dayum lol

[u/bellamy-bl8ke]

FANTASTIC 4TH DOWN PLAY

[u/RyanTheBruce]

RIGDON!!!

[u/DanboyC5]

I feel bad for Sparky for doing pushups.

But, I don’t because I want more points.

[u/xASUdude]

Why is Boley still out there

[u/DanboyC5 → u/xASUdude]

I think Dilly wants Boley to tie the Most TDs in a Game school record, which is 7. He needs 1 more.

Edit: nevermind Mikey is in

[u/bellamy-bl8ke]

This white dude’s name is Grayson, by name ALONE he’s gonna be explosive this year

[u/SoffesSmile]

I can't get over this kicker for Morgan State. Dude is THICK!

[u/OrcAssEater]

I hope we’re throwing screens to not show our hand against A&M next week…

[u/Archer-Saurus]

Kyle has the 12th Man but they don't got shit on Yo-Yo Kid

[u/eddie_vercetti]

Checked the TV times, ABC next week and what should have been on FOX for the UK game, it's to fucking Kent State and Ohio State.

[u/LarryGoldwater]

IN STADIUM CONFUSION

There is nowhere in the stadium selling Monster energy drinks

[u/jsg_nado → u/LarryGoldwater]

This is completely unacceptable

[u/DillyDillySzn]

Fajita has some of the best PR in the sport, short stack hasn’t accomplished anything in literal years yet constantly gets praise like he’s Tim fucking Tebow

[u/eddie_vercetti]

Big 12 Insider time. 

[u/Kinesys11]

Ok, coming back down to Earth for a moment. Where is the bar this season?

Territorial Cup returning and Bowl eligible?
BIG12 Championship title berth?
Both?

[u/eddie_vercetti → u/Kinesys11]

One game at a time, the hardest one is next week.

[u/Anakin_Cringewalker → u/Kinesys11]

Our O line looks pretty weak so I'm not sure what our ceiling is. I'd be pretty happy with 8-4/9-3 and of course beating the school down south

[u/Typical_Platypus_414 → u/Anakin_Cringewalker]

Interior of the O-line has been good, it's the tackles that are question marks, though Champ looks better than Baklenko by a fair bit. Champ's been dealing with something nagging from fall camp so as he gets closer to 100% that should help a lot.

[u/bellamy-bl8ke → u/Kinesys11]

Looking at the schedule, I don’t see both being out of the realm of possibility

[u/TeeDub27 → u/bellamy-bl8ke]

I think our one (very early) bye week is going to take its toll over time. We just need to stay healthy

[u/bellamy-bl8ke → u/TeeDub27]

That, and the back to back road games from college station to LONDON

[u/xASUdude → u/Kinesys11]

Both

[u/eddie_vercetti]

Morgan State is a HBCU? Damn, I feel bad but they got a payday.

Also MEAC? Isn't that the stuff in Ernest Scared Stupid?

[u/bellamy-bl8ke]

Genuinely lane kiffin is such a joke. And like that’s not even me being a hater because of Sam, I’ve BEEN a lane kiffin hater ever since we blew USC out and they left his ass on the tarmac. I couldn’t imagine playing for such an idiot

[u/StateNuckies → u/bellamy-bl8ke]

Lane Kiffin and Sam Leavitt deserve each other tbh

[u/bellamy-bl8ke → u/StateNuckies]

Both sore losers 🤍

[u/Anakin_Cringewalker → u/bellamy-bl8ke]

Both can't handle a sliver of adversity 😭😭

[u/zorionek0]

Love a good marching band!

[u/ASU_SexDevil]

Is Boley the Heisman front runner? Many are saying…

So hyped to be in College Station next week

[u/ajteitel]

I hope Jeff Sims is doing well

[u/AFotogenicLeopard → u/ajteitel]

Did he go to Canada? I was hoping he'd try the UFL. I think he's a perfect QB for that league.

[u/420BlzItRocko → u/AFotogenicLeopard]

Canadian here. No. Not sure about the UFL though. That league all seems to be CFL flame outs.

[u/AFotogenicLeopard → u/420BlzItRocko]

He was not in the UFL; I watch that league. That's why I hoped he'd go there. Unless he's happily moved on to his next career; if so, I'm glad he got to ball out his senior year and had a game-day jersey placed in the ASU Hall of Fame.

[u/bellamy-bl8ke → u/ajteitel]

Unironically a hero

[u/eddie_vercetti]

Oh they are in SDS

[u/530josh]

Our head coach might legitimately be a psychopath

[u/Kinesys11 → u/530josh]

He's from us, of us, and is us.

[u/xASUdude]

We're gonna get ranked #25

[u/Archer-Saurus → u/xASUdude]

To be an ASU fan is to say some crazy shit you don't really believe but you do kind of really believe

[u/bellamy-bl8ke → u/xASUdude]

They CANNOT rank us before going into A&M

[u/Anakin_Cringewalker → u/xASUdude]

nonononono

WAIT WAIT WAIT WAIT WAIT

[u/Late_Criticism8745 → u/xASUdude]

i'd rather be unranked going into TAMU

[u/xASUdude → u/Late_Criticism8745]

Me too, but we're gonna get that SEC bump

[u/Late_Criticism8745 → u/xASUdude]

Could be. I guess if Louisville loses tomorrow they'll get bumped and we could squeeze in
