no hitter in game one. one hitter in game two and a three hitter in game three by d escobedo. pretty dominating. it would have been nice to see them put a few more runs across the plate but bring on KY for another home series. They had a good regional tournament. Hopefully they are peaking at the right time and will make another championship run. Many championships are not won by the best team, but rather the team who peaks at the right time and has the best tournament run. I don't think the 2011 team was the best team, but they dominated the entire tournament, and brought home the hardware. Hopefully Dallas can lead them to another one.

You are correct, the name changed to ASU in 1958, and since that time they lead the series 30-24-1. However, ASU was first granted university status by the State legislature in 1937. This was the result of an overwhelming vote and an campaign lead by Grady Gammage. Gammage had the foresight to realize this status was needed to be able to offer accedited graduate degrees. In the same year they received their initial accreditation as a university by North Central Association. The school retained the name of Arizone State Teachers College at Tempe, a name they had taken in 1929. From 1937 to present the series is lead by ASU 36-33-1. From 1929 to present it is lead by U of A leads the series 41-37-1. In 1945 ASU boasted 6 colleges and decided to change their name again to reflect there evolution beyond just a teachers college, and thus they became Arizona State College at Tempe. Although still not called a University, they did hold that distinction from the legislature and they were accredited as such by North Central Association. Since that time the series is lead by ASU 36-33-1. There are many ways to slice it, but back to my original point; the reason the overall series is lead by U of A is not due to all the games they won over Tempe Normal as was stated several times in this post. There are many places you can draw the line that will put either of the schools in the lead. Loyalties to one school or the other will dictate where each person draws the line. That is just one of the many things that makes this rivalry great!

Long tines or width and mass. I would have to go with...the first one that gives me a shot.

Flatlander and other biased fans of ASU football (U of A fans are just as guilty of twisting the facts in their favor) often claim the U of A leads the series in football because they regularly bet up on the lowly Tempe Normal School. It makes them feel good and justifies the losing record, but it just is not true. The U of A leads the all-time series 47-38-1. When you take out the Tempe Normal Games, U of A leads the series 43-37-1. Prior to 1931 the two schools were not in the same conference because they were not comparable. In 1931 they both joined the Boarder Interscholastic Athletic Association, better known as thr Boarder Conference. This was the beginning of a schedule that ensured an annual matchup between the two schools. Since that time, U of A leads the series 39-37-1. Below are some facts about the rivalry. PAC 12 era 2011-2012 ASU 1 UA 1; PAC 10 era 1978-2010 ASU 14 UA 19 and 1tie; WAC era 1962-1977 ASU 13 UA 3; Boarder conference era 1931-1961. ASU 9 UA 16; Total in era of conference play. ASU 37 UA 39 and 1tie; The University of Arizona played Tempe Normal School only 5 times. TNS won 11-2 in 1899, UA won in 1902, 1914, 1915 and 1919 by a combined score of 112-0. There were no other meetings of UA and Tempe Normal School. The rivalry is a gret one, that I look forward to each year. However, if ASU fans want to brag, they need to limit it to last year or their dominance over the U of A while in the Western Athletic Conference. The rest of the hype is just a bunch of false, revisionist history. Sorry to rain on your parade, but those are the facts.

Peg, that's a beautiful bird!

Great buck! Welcome to the best site on the web.

Nice looking pup. I love the pic of a boy and his dog,

Peg, great job, not just in bagging a bird, but for not shooting TJ when he forgot the call and decoys! Can't wait to see the pics!

Wow, just increadible!

I had that happen to one of my cameras once. Now that camera is my favorite one. Cool pictures, thanks for posting.

My girls are now 21 and 22. I have not had to shoot anyone yet, but I have shared my willingness to shoot with a couple different boys.

Awesome buck!

Thanks for the pics. Those are some nice looking pups, I am sure they will become loved members of some families.

That's a lot of velvet. Great looking wall.

How about posting some pics for those of us who already have a house full of labs, but love pictures of puppies? Good luck on the sale.

If you want the system to put more tags to those who have points, all that needs to be done is change the rules so that the value of all points is squared.

Very nice

It will take more than good summer rains. This will take years to refill. The dam is now just a tombstone to a once great fishery.

Have you ever considered one of the lab rescue groups? If interested PM me your email address and I will pass it onto my daughter, she will send you info on labs needing a good home.

There are a lot of good people on the ground who are not allowed to do there job because of the agenda driven policies being made in Washington. This is no different than what the Forrest Service and BLM are facing.

Selling your guns to a buy back program because you think there are to many guns on the street is as stupid as getting a vascectomy because your neighbor has too many kids.

Ouch! That had to hurt.

I get great performance with 130gr Speer spbt pushed by 53.8gr of IMR4350. This bullet has good weight retention and is affordable. I did load up some round with some old Speer BT that I found in a box of old supplies from my grand father (1960's). They blew up inside an Easter whitetail, causing a great amount of meat loss.

My son had the hunt last year. They walked is a cople miles each day, getting deep into the canyon. Finding bulls, and lots of them was no problem, but the cows were few and far between. Last year was very warm during the first week of December and there were a lot of elk up high. More cows may move down when it gets colder. Good luck, and just be happy to have a bow in your hand and a tag in the pocket.

Great finds!
