The very first football game I had ever attended was in 1996 when ASU played undefeated Nebraska.  Jake Plummer and Pat Tillman were on that team, and of course the Sun Devils won the game.  The crowd rushed the field and tore down the goal posts and marched them down Mill Avenue.  I couldn’t believe what I was watching, I thought that every game was like that!

I grew up in the Valley, and always wanted to be a Sun Devil one day.  Initially I accepted an athletic scholarship to Idaho State University, but transferred to ASU two years later.  I was so proud to officially step foot on campus as a student that first day.  Walking down Palm Walk for the first time, seeing all of the activity around me, I got chills. I felt like I was part of something bigger than myself. Over my time at ASU, I met so many lifelong friends and connections from all over the country that I still keep in touch with to this day.
