Arizona State Sun Devil Angels
In marked contrast to the NY Giant Jerks, the ASU Sun Devils are helping the good people of Louisiana by hosting their game against LSU this Saturday. They will donate ALL of the net gate receipts to the victims of the hurricane. The economics of college football make this a very generous offer. The major football programs need at least 6 home games each year to support the rest of the athletic department. The Sun Devils will now have 7, but unlike the Giant Jerks they have to play at LSU to make up this game. I'm sure they'll find a way to get their 6 home games in every year (hello Northern Arizona), so maybe those parking and concession revenues should go to the disaster relief too. But the reality is they will have an extra road game at some point which means lost revenue. I'll stop calling them the Giant Jerks if they decide to donate all of the net gate receipts to the Red Cross, but they'll still have 8 home games for the foreseeable future and this extra game will end up making them more money even if they give away all of the gate for next week's game. Jerks. Giant Jerks.
