Standin' in the middle of the desert waitin' for my ship to come in...

The currently undefeated Buffs travel this week to Tempe, Arizona to face the blistering Sun Devils of ASU. Fortunately, it will be a night game so temperatures are expected to be in the low 100s. Que calor!

This year's ASU team features new head coach/gun-toting-mercenary Dennis Erickson who at this very moment is likely drunkenly breaking state, federal or NCAA laws. Dennis has taken his fun loving, fast living, morality skirting ways all over this great land from the tropics of southern Florida to the redwood forests of the northwest. He'll lead the Sun Devils to some crazy, gunslinging, statistic popping successes and fabulous failures before one day leaving town for the next sexy opportunity and just ahead of the arresting authorities. A true beacon of offense and hedonism.

This game will be a serious test for the Buffs. They must play much better than they did against CSU to have a chance. Particularly, the defense must step up. Pass defense has been our weakness over the past year and the Devils are going to chuck it around some. Prepare for a track meet. Offensively, the Buffs will likely still be without the 3 best players in Hugh Charles, Bernard Jackson and Josh Smith. So let's hope the Cody/Scotty show can continue its little parade.

A win here would be huge. Let's take it to the felonious one!
