Oh, boy, smart in certain ways. Emotionally, which restricts our race, we live in caves.
I don't know anything. Just an impression after some decades living on the planet. sigh
Yeah. Campus wise I feel ours is better but put any campus with a scenic Palm Walk in an Arizona climate and a big city like Phoenix it's just not fair.
I would never have guessed Tempe was that much farther away. Intellectually you know Texas is big but when you look up that road trip...wow.
Wow. Glad someone mentioned it.
I'm a pretty big geography dork. Like to the point that I would ask for maps and globes for Christmas when I was a kid, and I regularly watch Geography-themed YouTube videos for fun in my free time.
And even I assumed that if anything, ASU would be slightly closer to Arlington than ISU is.
I guess it's also helps our case that I-10/I-20 isn’t really a straight shot over there, either.
Doesn't ASU have one of the largest enrollments in the country? They are like 3 times the size of ISU. I'm sure they have a ton of alumni everywhere, including Texas.
This reminded me of a map a good friend of mine sent a few months ago. I was stunned.
We’re going to Dallas baby (the CCG thread)
Has anyone confirmed we’re gonna be on the North Side? I have ASU ticket site selling tickets on the south side but I can’t see anything confirming we’re away/north side...

It's one of the "system" schools, so they have 5 campuses. But yes, the main Tempe Campus is still very large itself, with an enrollment close to 60,000.
All together the system has well over 100K, too. But I'd imagine a good portion of their total fans are casual fans at best.
They're massive but it's also a little misleading. Their president (an ISU grad) has been super aggressive in expanding their reach through online classes, partnering with companies like Starbucks to offer free undergraduate education to their employees, stuff like that.
Which is not to say those students don't count, just that they are less likely to have an affinity for the university (and do things like attend football games) than students who have the traditional undergraduate on-campus experience.
That said, even after accounting for that, ASU is quite a bit bigger than ISU enrollment-wise so I assume they are in alumni base as well.
Came for the championship game hype, stayed for the geography lesson
It was so close that you can't really tell. In those two pictures, the left one is more from the left which makes things look further back than they are than the right one. Factor that into the second picture, and it says its basically a sideways lateral. Anything but going forward is a lateral, basically a hand off, and a fumble.
The advantage is having been in the stadium and understanding logistics and the flow a little better.
Always amazed when people haven’t heard of very famous individuals even if not in your preferred genre. Guy was everywhere in mid 2000s.
My parents live in Texas.
From my house to Dallas, it's about 700 miles.
From their house to Dallas, it's about 600 miles.
