sorry Walter

Well Andrew Walter’s bad luck continues. He was cut from the Patriots before the season started. And I am bummed. He is a good QB who just needs the right mentor. I hope he is picked up somewhere. Here’s hoping his NFL career is not lost.

Here is an interview with Andrew Walter before he was cut.

awesome opportunity for Walter

Andrew Walter was picked up by the NE Patriots after Oakland let him go. I am WAY excited about this. Walter was an awesome QB for ASU and he is my all-time favorite since I have been watching the Sun Devils. His style of QB is perfect for the Patriots. He is a pocket QB with great presence and one hell of an arm. I think he will learn a ton from Brady. I hope he sees some playing time this season. Walter appears to be enjoying the new team:

“There’s a great atmosphere here that you can just sense when you’re doing the drills, participating in practice, finishing practice with a competitive drill at the end. It’s fun to be a part of,” he added. “Obviously we’re talking about the Super Bowl champions, one of the best quarterbacks in the game if not the best, he plays my position so I have a chance to learn from him and everybody else. It’s a great opportunity.”

So Long Coach Snyder

Today, Sun Devil fans and players found out the former Sun Devil football coach Bruce Snyder passed away after a 10 month fight against cancer.

He leaves a wonderful legacy among those of us who follow and support Sun Devil football. He brought so much to ASU, particularly in the 1996 when we made it to the Rose Bowl and came within inches of being National Champions. It hasn’t happened since.

My condolences go out to his family during this time of grief. Know that you have the support of Sun Devil nation.

I hope during Saturday’s Spring Game they will have some sort of tribute to Snyder and I know that this coming season we will see something very special planned to honor a fine man and wonderful coach.

God speed Coach Snyder.

missing Jake

I truly miss Jake Plummer in the NFL.

As an ASU alumni and huge Sun Devil football fan, Plummer is like a god in lots of ways. When he went to the Cardinals many of us groaned in disbelief because we knew it was going to hinder his ability to shine. Then he went to Denver, where Elway will always be King. No matter what, I always rooted for Plummer, and always wanted him to succeed. I despise Cutler for being the impetus to ousting Jake from the Broncos roster. I think Plummer had a better hold on things to bring Denver to where they wanted to be.

But I can’t blame Plummer for wanting a change. The NFL and its fans can be unforgiving and merciless. And he is excelling in his new career. So I wish him well, even if I still wish he was playing on Sundays.

If you want a good read, check out this article. It has a good insight into a football player who walked away from the game but still has a desire to play.

go Devils! make us proud

This year we did not watch the draft, which is okay by me because it is kind of boring. But we did keep up with what ASU players were doing through nfl.com. W are excited to see all our players go either through the draft or through free agency after the draft. Scott feels that it is actually better to be signed as a free agent then get drafted. I have no idea.

I am just really excited that ASU was well represented and I look forward to seeing Marquardt, Barrett, Pollack, Tryon, Torain, and Burgess succeed in the NFL. I only wish one of them had gone to the Patriots, but that’s just me being selfish.

Good luck to all of you and GO DEVILS!!!
