news and notes for Arizona State Sun Devil sports fans.

FREE Super Bowl Preview Issue from Sports Arizona Magazine

Washing away the bitter taste of last night’s defeat at the hands of Washington State, we briefly turn our attention from our beloved Sun Devils and toward the Super Bowl.

The brand new Sports Arizona launched its first issue this week and it couldn’t have been better timed. Click on the cover image below to read 24 fully-illustrated pages of coverage on the Arizona Cardinals.

This is only the beginning for Sports Arizona. A fully-interactive digital issue and website launch later in February, with print (as opposed to virtual) issues launching in the coming months.

We’re assured by the publishers that there will be plenty of Sun Devil coverage in future issues. So, enjoy the magazine and go Cardinals!

We probably won’t be posting again this weekend, so leave your thoughts on the Washington game in the comments. We’ll be sure to check in to discuss. Go Devils!
