What I'd like to see in the bowl game (and you should too)

this senior class one last time. They have set the bar so high as a unit, I just hope the future can be somewhere near as good. They have really spoiled us,

Thank you Seniors, what a great ride it has been………………… heck even the very few losses were all heart stopping games, so even if I didn’t like the end result, they NEVER went down without putting up one hell of a fight.

GO BRONCOS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That’s what I want to see. Both sides of the ball. And I’ll be there live to cheer them on…

Even more I’d like to see Kellen kick a game winning 45 year FG.

And a Billy Winn play on offense so he can meet Vontaze Burfict

Show the nation just how well the Broncos are still recruiting and developing young guys. It’s safe to assume the kid will be a complete stud by his senior year, but if he and the other young DBs ever had a reason to expedite their studliness, it would be for this game. They owe it to the Seniors who have worked hard to get the program where it is today and they need to make sure they help those guys end their Bronco legacy with a W.

…would overall be like the last one results wise, with no slow start and the following:

The entire D line has a meeting ontop Osweiler in the end zone for a safety after Josh Borgman downs a Brad Elkin punt on the one inch line.

Doug Martin runs for 200 yards and catches for 100, running through and over Burfict and company. Its the site of the Hamster’s longest run…and I would really like to see him do it again, with some ASU db’s flailing as Doug runs by them toward the end zone.

The Shoe catches 3 of Kellen’s 6 TD’s as KM puts at least one pass in the hands of every single receiver on the team.

DJ catches a flat pass and runs around the whole ASU D.

Matt Miller catches a TD with no hands and smiles, broadly

Iloka hammers Osweiler ala Kyle Wilson on Andy Dalton in the Fiesta Bowl. The ball goes one way, Osweiller goes the other and he needs “some assistance” to be removed from the turf. Completely legal, but memorable.

The DB’s come all the way back from the game we want to forget by getting two picks and keeping everything in front of them. Jamar Taylor and Ebo Makinde are at full strength.

The Chris and Mitch show runs wild on lots of punts but very few kickoffs

A 40 yard field goal, just for fun, not because we need it to win.

The O line causes Burfict to completely melt down and he has to be hauled off the field.

Brad Elkin (on his last of two total punt formations) tosses it to JC Percy who laterals it to Hunter White for the fake punt score.

Trevor Harman puts one through the uprights on a kick off…one of many kick-offs.

We burn a Sugar Bowl committee member effigy in the parking lot before the game and somebody holds up an offensive anti-Craig James sign in the stands.

Somebody holds up a really big (two man lift) sign that simply says: 50!!

I won’t see it from the stands but I want the TV camera’s to focus on Erickson after each Bronco TD or 4th down stop on his offense. I may take some binocs. I hope I can hear him curse from our seats :)

The Bronco Nation rushes the field and lets Coach Pete, the seniors and the entire team know how much we appreciate everything they have accomplished this year, and in the case of the seniors, what they have done that no class anywhere has ever done…50.

…on the ASU blog, where the Graham hire is the really big news.

- Offensive coordinator Noel Mazzone officially accepted Jim Mora Jr.‘s offer to become the offensive coordinator at UCLA. ASU’s offense made significant strides under Mazzone, averaging 32.2 points last season and 33.9 this season.

“Junior middle linebacker Vontaze Burfict on Thursday again practiced with the second team. Burfict was benched late in ASU’s Nov. 25 home game against California after committing two personal fouls.”

Wonder if Mazzone will be there for the game? Did Graham tell him to find another job, and if not, how in the world is being OC at UCLA as good as OC at ASU? Judging from the comments on the blog, he is the bright spot coaching wise this year. That makes the HC and the OC lame ducks for the Sun Devils.

Do you think this would get on the TV?

“4 MOORE QUARTERS!”

aka Shea McClellan, hits the opposing QB so hard he doesn’t realize he’s not in Arizona any more. One shot, Shea, one shot!
I met his grandfather back when Shea was a soph and he was getting ready to hit the road for the Fiesta bowl. Oh how proud that man was! I became a fan of Shea right there and then. Gotta love grandparents!

There’s lots I want, but I’ll only name a few things;
1. 50 wins for the seniors and Mr. Moore, that record won’t be broken, at least not in my lifetime.
2. Doug Martin to mow over Burfict and make him look like a rag doll in the process. Hopefully he’ll get mad, commit some idiotic penalty, and get thrown out of the game or benched again.
3. Kellen throws a pass to every receiver, tight end, and running back on the team, showcasing both his talent and theirs.
4. Billy Winn and Co. light up Osweiler like a Christmas tree. He may be taller than them, but I doubt he’s tougher haha.
5. A shutout and a victory by at least a 5 score margin (but I won’t get my hopes up, Coach Pete hasn’t quite cracked yet.)
6. A Kellen Moore pooch punt, rushing touchdown, receiving touchdown, and while we’re at it, a PAT or field goal as well haha. He’ll become a one man team, everyone else can just block for him.
7. I love the previously mentioned sign ideas, as well as KM hitting the 50/50 mark, so I’m stealing those as well.
8. Erickson soiling himself by halftime, followed by KM smiling and telling him it’ll be okay, it’s his last time he’ll see the Broncos for a while.
9. George Iloka ends his interception-less streak with a pick six, leveling Osweiler on his way to the end zone.
10. All of our guys come out strong, healthy, and pumped and they make a statement the BCS and ESPN won’t soon forget.

I’ve got a whole lot moore… but I’ll leave it at 10 for now!

and the team goes home like last year for Christmas with family, after a job well done. The seniors get ready for the next step and the returners take some needed time off.

ASU spends a few days trying to figure out what just happened, but have a good Christmas. Erickson retires (folks like him are not good for CFB).

Oh and it doesn’t pour down rain like last year.
