What's so good about ASU?????


I am wondering the answer to that question??? Is is the heat??? Is it the money??? Is it the opportunity??? What?????

You know, being a Vandal fan, I know the excitement we, as vandal fans, felt when we heard the news of Dennis Erickson, "coming back" to Idaho. He was returning. Wow, that was awesome. He totally has the ability to turn the program around. I knew that eventually, he would bring huge changes to Vandal football, and the athletic department as a whole at the University of Idaho. All of that seemed very important to him as he accepted the job as head coach for Idaho. As stated about his return to Idaho in an article from USA Today in August...............Erickson, who has plans to retire in nearby Coeur d'Alene, Idaho, says he's "as excited" as he ever has been in coaching, and the people seem to take him at his word....... He was excited. We were excited, we thought he was back where he belonged. We even put him on the billboards here in North Idaho. Vandal Football season ticket sales went through the roof. Vandal Pride was returning, and returning big.
This is what Dennis said during a press conference where he announced he would come back to Idaho...."In this business, sometimes things happen and you move along, but the greatest thing that happened to me was Nick Holt (previous Idaho Coach) leaving, and now I come back and finish the job."
Well the "job" wasn't finished. I soppose he has his reasons for leaving Idaho. I soppose it is the move he feels is right for him right now. But I still wonder...

What's so good about ASU?? Why did we only get 1 more year?? We wanted more. We're not going to get 1 more year though, Arizona is.
Luckies......
