    How bout them Devils!

    I would like to see both Arizona teams do well. Keep in mind ASU beat Kansas by 10 points in Kansas, and they beat Xavier by 30 in a neutral location. Now that they are in the tournament the past doesn't really matter for any team. I just hope they can get hot and win some games. If they lay an egg it's going to look as bad or worse than not getting into the tournament after the hot start. I think UofA has the players needed to do a lot of damage and really make a run. Let's see who steps up and delivers.

    College Basketball in Arizona: Reality over Rhetoric

    I honestly didn't think ASU was going to get in with the way they played in the conference schedule. I guess beating two teams that are number 1 seeds was the narrow difference maker. Now that they're in I'm hoping they can get hot like they did early on. USC got hosed big time!!!! I wouldn't be surprised to see UofA in the final four with the way Ayton has been dominating. It would be good for our state and the whole conference if both teams can make some noise in this tourney.

    Trips to the Valley

    Looks like you were in Sossaman Estates at Sossaman Junior High. My daughter is in 8th grade there and my sister lives right by the school. If you just keep the wheels straight you can go through the "traffic calming" sections without slowing down or turning at all. It cracks me up to see the people that haven't figured that out yet.

    Zeiss 8x42

    The Zeiss Conquest HD line is underrated in my opinion. This is a great price and whoever ends up with them will be very happy. I'm tempted myself.

    Looks like ASU is doing everything they can to not make the tourney.

    Amanda, Clear out your inbox

    I've had nothing but great experiences with outdoorsmans. They have always gone above and beyond for me.

    Thinking of moving

    This describes my feelings about the situation here exactly. My family's AZ roots go back over 130 years and there's so much I love about this place, despite the growing pains here.

    Idaho, especially Eastern ID is terrible for tradesmen. Like it or not, unions make things a lot better for everyone. ID is one of the lowest wage earning states in the union. That's basically what keeps me from going there. I have been an IBEW member since I was a 1st year apprentice in 2005. There is more work here in the valley than anyone knows what to do with.

    Thinking of moving

    I have had my eye on Rigby, ID for the last 2.5 years, but I have been a commercial/industrial electrician for the last 13 years and there's a ton of work here in the valley. I have not been able to work out the logistics of how I could make it happen. I would love to live somewhere more spread out, less traffic, a nice little chunk of land, and not so crowded. Also, tons of great outdoor opportunities up there.

    Arizona guide loses hunting rights in 47 states

    I kind of feel the same way. There were probably some very upset residents that pushed hard to go after this guy.

    ^^^^This guy obviously knows nothing about basketball as evidenced by offering zero analysis or useful arguments, and only using the same "Hurley hurl" insult 13 times over. At least find some new or original material.

    Arizona guide loses hunting rights in 47 states

    “We proved it was all for this permit,” Stott said. ​I am curious to know how they proved that it was all for the permit. The article is kind of vague. I am not taking a side either way, I just would like some more detailed information. Also, it seems totally backwards that someone could lose their hunting privileges for 10 years and still be allowed to guide.

    How bout them Devils!

    Lol, it's easy to get the UA basketball fans riled up. It's still very early in the season. Do I think ASU will be top 5 towards the end of the season? No. Do I think UA will be outside of the top 10? Probably not. But it's fun to see ASU doing well in a sport that they have almost always struggled in. It makes the rivalry more interesting for sure. I can guarantee you UA is not looking at the Devils as 2 easy wins on their schedule like they normally do. I enjoy the friendly banter too

    How bout them Devils!

    I knew this would get a rise out of the UA faithful. I should have phrased it "the best NBA player that played college ball in AZ". You're seriously going to try and tell me that Steve Kerr was a better NBA player than Harden?!?! Give me a break. Winning a ring is a team award, not an individual award. Obviously an NBA championship is the ultimate goal, but that's not the point I'm trying to make.

    Just remember this, the best college basketball player ever in the state of Arizona came from ASU That's a hard pill to swallow for all the UA fans and their basketball tradition.

    42-30

    Not to mention Xavier was 5-0 and ranked #15 when ASU put up 102 points on them. Obviously it's still very early in the season, but it's definitely nice to start off on the right foot.

    97 Suburban $1500 obo

    1997 Chevrolet Suburban, 4x4, K2500, 5.7 Liter, 235,xxx miles. Very reliable and strong running Suburban. I am looking for $1500 or best offer. Call or text Daryl 48o-5oo-6545. If you have any questions don't hesitate to ask. I am in Queen Creek near Power/Germann. I will add pictures to the post in a few hours. I have notarized title in hand. Good: Leaks a little oil, not enough to worry about, but it will leave a spot where it is parked. I never have to worry about adding oil in between oil changes. · This vehicle knows 36C like the back of its hand and will probably drive you straight to the biggest coues in the unit.· Runs and drives great, very reliable. I was just in the Richmond Basin area in 24A scouting with this vehicle last week. In the Spring took family to Rocky Point, no issues at all. This is the vehicle I was planning on using for my coues hunt Dec 1st. · New tires at 220,000 · Newer Power steering pump and hoses. · Newer Radiator · At 230,000 miles lots of suspension work done: Steering damper and gear box, 1 idler arm, 1 pitman arm, 1 stabilizer shock, 4 shocks, Pins and bushings, 1 spring, 2 upper control arms with ball joints. All this work, including power steering and radiator done by Randys Transmission in Mesa. · All power windows and door locks work. Bad: · Has front and rear AC, but it no longer blows cold. Needs new compressor. · Front windshield has a crack in it, it is on the passenger side up high. · Cosmetic, paint fading/peeling on hood · I have had some issues with getting the back door to lock from time to time. It opens and closes fine, but I think a new latch will fix the locking problem. · One of the middle row seat belts is stuck, cant be used. · Interior seats are a little on the rough side, kind of what I would imagine from a 20 year old vehicle that has hauled countless amounts of hunting gear and game animals J I will go over everything in detail with anyone who is interested and looks at the vehicle. I believe in being honest, and I am not trying to hide anything. This vehicle is very capable and reliable enough to be a daily driver, if thats what youre looking for.
