As such, even though ASU lost, I'm still claiming at least a portion of credit for getting him fired. Had he not had so much fun in Tempe that he was drunk during the game, perhaps he'd still be there and never have gone to the Isle of Misfit Coaches that Saban collects every year.
We take a very perverse and enjoyable claim on whatever USC destruction we can, even when it comes at our own expense. Outside of the trailer trash in Tucson, there isn't any body of people we hate more.
As an aside, NEVER get in between ASU and U of A fans. There is a hatred there that is very difficult to explain from the outside looking in. It goes to the political. Arizona tried to stop ASU from being a full fledged university multiple times. Even more recently, they blocked an ASU attempt at starting its own medical school. Then, using the battery that was a U of A loaded board of regents (which governs ASU, Arizona and NAU together), they started a medical school in the same Phoenix area ASU wanted as a conglomerate- Only to run off ASU and NAU before it was even certified. Despite the fact that Arizona's Tucson medical school is becoming a running joke. My sister and her husband took offers there from Johns Hopkins, and ran for the hills within a year. Absolute disaster in multiple fields. But it's more important nobody else plays ball on their turf, at least until Mayo showed up. It can get really, really ugly in AZ.
I understand this is a completely unprompted response. I just think it's very important for other Pac 12 fans to understand that Tucson is full of inveterate trash that should be ground to an absolute pulp.
Hi, Minny. This is indeed an awesome, educational post. We're not privy to the goings on in AZ. I know politics in this state can be crazy (I can still remember Governor Ev Mecham becoming a national joke in the 80's) but this medical school feud goes beyond the pale. Thanks! Post any time.
