Sun Devil or Longhorn?

As you all may know, or at least I hope you do, ASU is in the College World Series. We have a remarkable team and have one of the best baseball programs in the nation. I believe also this is something like our 33rd time to make the CWS, yet our last CWS championship was in 1981; pretty long drought. However, being from Texas I have caught some heat from my fellow Texans back home, questioning my Texan loyalty.

I have to admit, I am a little torn between this matchup growing up bleeding burnt orange and white and following UT sports more than any other collegiate team, while chanting Hook 'em Horns. With that being said though, I am a Sun Devil, and yes I am converted based on principle. People from work, those fellow students I know are all giving me a hard time about this.

I thought I would share this somewhat minute, yet fun dilemma I have. How could I root against a team who knocked in 12 runs to come back and beat North Carolina. You also have to love the play of Kole Calhoun, that guy can flat out slam the ball. I was a little ticked off when we lost a 6-0 lead against UT on Tuesday, but tonight and hopefully tomorrow we will be the victors, with a showdown with LSU on the horizon for the championship. For those who are sports gurus like me catch the game tonight, for those who are not, well you just disregard this blog and my spirit for the school, and wait until my next post. GO DEVILS!
