Can't see any reason to go all the way to London for a game.  England is not what it used to be.  Overwhelmed (as we are) with immigrants.  And, it could be a LONG ride home.</p>

Is anyone going to London for the ASU Sept 19 game that's being called the Union Jack Classic? It seems we are back to the days when David Beaty was so uncertain at the QB position that he refused to announce the starting QB until game time. I remember watching the scoreboard in Memorial Stadium before the first game to see who was starting.</p>

In the midst of a stadium rebuild, I don't recall ever being as complacent about the football program as I am these days.  Little to get excited about.<br />
As I have said many times through the years, fans will support a great team in a shi**y facility when they will not support a poor team playing in a great facility.</p>
