  1. Sitdown Series - Petra Pardi

    MAR 4

    Sitdown Series - Petra Pardi

    Sun Devils leading Sun Devils. It's proving to be a winning formula in Tempe, from athletic director Graham Rossini down to several ASU alums leading programs. That includes Petra Pardi, who's leading one of the nation's best water polo teams. Pardi, the daughter of a water polo Olympian, was a natural in the pool and made her way from Budapest to Tempe to play for the Devils. She would go on to earn All-America honors, and after a brief year away from the sport after her collegiate career, she landed a spot on the ASU staff. She took over on an interim basis near the end of the 2022 season before being named the permanent head coach in 2023. Last year, she led the Devils to a 23-8 record, and heading into this season's home stretch, has ASU ranked No. 11 in the nation. On this episode, we discuss her journey from Hungary to Tempe, how being a Sun Devil changed her life, assembling an international roster, building a winning program in the desert, and more.

    As one season begins, another sputters to the finish line.

    Sitdown Series - Kien Vu

    Where a great underdog story meets a traditional college baseball power, you’ll find Kien Vu.  A lightly-recruited player out of San Diego, Kien found his way to Tempe as a walk-on. Heading into his sophomore year last season, he was set up to be in the outfield rotation. But once he got a chance to be an everyday player, he raked...and never stopped raking on the way to hitting over .400 and becoming the 133rd All-American in ASU program history. Now established as one of the nation's best, he's looking to lead the 2025 Sun Devils back to the postseason.  On this episode, Kien and I discuss the keys to his breakout season, the mental aspects of baseball, the makeup of this year's squad, the San Diego burrito scene and Burrito Express Diamond Deal, and more.

    Sitdown Series - Ben Coleman

    Success starts in the trenches, and the Sun Devils' turnaround along the offensive line was a major factor in their success in 2024. With four starters back for 2025, the line looks to once again be a team strength. But not everyone will be back in their old spots, as Ben Coleman will be sliding over from left guard to center to replace All-Big 12 selection Leif Fautanu. After missing his first year in Tempe due to injury, Ben returned to the lineup last year and put together a standout season. No matter where he lines up this fall, Ben will be a key player on the field and an important leader off of it. On this episode, Ben and I discuss the keys to ASU's success, why he bypassed the NFL Draft for another year in Tempe, his evolving leadership role, activating the Valley, young OLmen to watch, the best breakfast spots in Tempe, and more.

  7. Sitdown Series - C.J. Fite

    Sitdown Series - C.J. Fite

    It was only appropriate that ASU's victory in the Big 12 championship game took place in Texas, as the Texas-to-Tempe movement has been such a critical factor in the Sun Devils' turnaround. One of the first players that arrive through that movement has developed into one of the key pieces of Arizona State's success. Defensive tackle C.J. Fite once committed to ASU under the prior staff, decommitted after the coaching change, but then recommitted once he saw the vision Kenny Dillingham planned to bring. In his second year, Fite blossomed into an All-Big 12 selection and a member of the Pat Tillman Leadership Council. Now an upperclassmen, bigger things are ahead. On this episode, we discuss his growth as a leader, winning the title in his home state, how the team can keep its edge, the most fashionable Sun Devil, and much more.
