Nor Cal Email

Hello NorCal Alums,
ASU will open its Pac-10 football season this Saturday at 4p.m. against Oregon State. The game will be shown live on the Versus network. Versus is unfortunately not available via Direct TV which is what most sports bars carry but our local game watching establishments are working hard to provide our fans a feed for this game.

The ASU Sun Devil Nation was well represented in Georgia last weekend as 8,000 Devil fans descended on Athens for a hard fought battle with the Georgia Bulldogs. It took a last second FG to defeat ASU 20-17 but the Devils showed the SEC just how good they can be this season.

Sparky’s Wine and Dine on Oct. 17th is filling up fast so be sure to make your reservations before seats are gone. And Sparky’s Touchdown Tailgate at Stanford is also open for registration. The prelude to our game with Stanford on Oct. 24.

GO DEVILS! Beat the Beavers!
