College: Arizona State (PAC 12) 2004
Year: 2004
Games: Arizona State 44 Iowa 7, New England 23 Arizona 12
Rating: 5 out of 10
Cost: Low
Tickets: Easy
Stadium: Sun Devil Stadium: Just a slab of cement in the middle of the
desert. I can’t believe an NFL team
played here for so many years. Then
again, it was an NFL team that didn’t implement direct deposit until 2006
Description: This is Phoenix’s entrant into the
college football world and it proves to be very similar to its host city. Not a bad place but overall boring and
forgettable. Evidently the kickoff was delayed 45 minutes
by lighting? Didn’t remember that.
Outside of the game we actually had a shit load of fun on this
trip. The Patriots were playing out
there the same weekend and we had a memorable meeting with a slutty New
Hampshire woman in the hotel pool. She
was flirting with four assholes while her husband was 30 feet away. Walter White was on this trip and ran around
like a madman trying to score. We saw a
meth head in the hotel on checkout. A
very eye opening time in the desert!
The day after the game we went to see the Patriots vs. the Cardinals. It was the game where they paid tribute to Pat
Tillman, who is really a true hero in every sense of the word. Unfortunately
what I remember from that game is the reaction by the fans to George Bush. I’m not here to apologize for George Bush,
he’s a complete pile of shit both as a President and as a man, but he was the
President and he was honoring a man who died in service to his country. The reaction by the fans (mainly from New
England) was classless. I also heard
several people threaten to “cut” other people during the game for next to nothing. Evidently getting threatened by stabbing is a
focal part of the Phoenix football experience!
The football part of this Patriots vs. Arizona game was forgettable but
it was clear that Vince Wilfork was going to be a pretty good player. He was in the Cardinals backfield all
day. And is there a dumber name in
sports than the Arizona Cardinals? It
was also ridiculous that they ever played a 1PM game in that stadium,
especially in September.
Don’t Miss: Playing in the pool with married, slutty
women
Avoid: Making ASU a focal point for a football
trip. It’s a “target of opportunity”
Attendees: Bones, Polychronopolous, Ignatious P
