However shall we fill the time as we await Arizona State quarterback Danny Sullivan’s first career start? Well, we could look back at the week that was at Echo from the Buttes.

(If my first start was against an NFL defense, I’d look nervous too.)

It’s been a rough few weeks for Sun Devil fans. So rough, in fact, that we’ve been distracted by a couple of developments around campus.

On Monday we wondered if Michael Crow’s super-sized campus was good for Arizona State. And on Thursday we celebrated Mill Avenue’s recognition as one of the top 10 thoroughfares in America.

But this isn’t Tucson! We know that even in a tough season, true Sun Devils crave football. So, here’s a look at the football coverage you may have missed this week.

• We wondered if Rudy Carpenter’s injury was a little karmic comeuppance for running his mouth.
• Dennis Erickson compared his young team to a nursery school, while we preferred to compare it to the Class of 1994.
• We dug up what little info we could find on backup quarterback Danny Sullivan.
• And we asked five questions of USC’s beat writer to acquaint ourselves with the Trojans.

If you’re heading to Los Angeles for the big game this weekend, we recommend you check out Amoeba Music in Hollywood. It claims to be the world’s largest independent music store. Basically, it’s Zia Records on Brawndo.

They’re even offering a coupon for $2 off anything used. And you know how we love coupons!
