OK…so maybe ASU is a bad team.
Not sure about Utah and Kansas State, haven’t seen 'em yet. Those are programs you don’t expect to suck.
You hate to see it.
Fuck tempe normal school.
Every time you use that nomenclature I think about the fact that my parents met at Southwest Texas State Teacher’s College* (after my mom went to several greek “functions”, dances, whatever, with Powers Boothe)
*formerly Southwest Texas State Normal College and currently Texas State University
At least it’s an accredited school and has class.

In the 80/90’s when kids who didn’t get into UT went there for a year or 2 to prove they belonged…
We loved those guys, great friends, had a place to stay in San Marcos during tubing season (and vice versa for weekends in Austin)
I have several friends who were the last class to have Southwest Texas on their diplomas, and they’re mighty proud of it, as they should.
It’ll always be SWT to me, but I’m mighty impressed that Texas State has now made itself into a new, solid entity.
Gonna be interesting with their joining the Pac-12.

My brother went to Southwest, and one year he and his idiot friend made a point of tubing the Comal I want to say it was every month of the year. (I’m aware that the Comal runs through a different town; I think they had their reasons, alcohol may have been involved.)
When he graduated he and his buddy taped SW TUBING TEAM onto the top of their graduation hats, and I have a great pair of photos that feature the aforementioned grandfather glancing down at the hat on my brother’s lap and then looking up with disgust at the camera for the next shot. I don’t know why Woodrow hated tubing, but apparently he did. Maybe he just didn’t believe that college credits should be awarded for tubing. He graduated from A&M in 1936 if I’m not mistaken, and I’m pretty sure they didn’t have a tubing team back then.

With those milkmen cheerleaders, I wouldn’t ever be too sure of what they do and don’t offer down there.

Of course they did, making needle and thread out of animal/plants and inflating an animal bladder predated whiteman by centuries
eta: what’s the difference between a Cybertruck (or BMW or insert car here) and a porcupine?
Porcupine has the pricks on the outside.
My first NYC band was called Porcupine. Extra points if anyone knows why.
Because you’re so cuddly?
