Before ASU's season, the consensus forecast was they*could* go as far as least season – but probably wouldn't because the B12 is a crab bucket and some luck regression was due for the Sun Devils.
With that in mind, going 8-4 overall, 6-3 in conference earns Dilly a grade of "Meets Expectations."

My parents are in charge of gravy, using an overcomplicated recipe given to them by an high-strung family friend. I have nominated myself to make the roux, as the idea intimidates Mom and Dad.
I'm fucking around with various chat programs for making roux, and one just told me 16 ounces is a quart.

In the pool (college and NFL) run by my sister's bestie's husband, I enter tonight tied for first with my sister and dad, who share an entry. In MNF, we both have the 49ers (-6.5), but a Carolina cover doesn't matter because no one can catch us – sending us to the tiebreaker of total points. 1/x

My two favorite bands are the Beatles and the Pixies, so who knows what bug is up the ass of that music critic.
As someone who is this guy's age I can tell you 100% that if you were into Pixies, Nirvana, 120 Minutes stuff, etc. but didn't like the Beatles you had to have worked hard to contort yourself into that special little box. Your enemy, if you absolutely needed one, was hair metal. GTFO here with this.
