Territorial Cup memories

FSN Arizona is conducting an online poll asking fans to choose the most memorable moments from the Arizona-Arizona State rivalry. There are 10 moments, five for each school, to choose from, with the top five selections unveiled during the network’s ”Duel In The Desert” pregame show at 5:30 p.m. on Nov. 30.
This is a noble endeavor on the part of FSN Arizona, which I am proud to appear on occasionally as a panelist on “Sound Off Live” on Sunday nights. However, there should not be much suspense as to which moment finishes on top:
Moment No. 2 is a no-brainer as well. It is also Arizona’s biggest highlight in the rivalry, but that is all I am going to say in this space. After all, I would like FSN Arizona to keep inviting me on the air.
(As of Tuesday night, the early returns listed at FSN Arizona’s Web site have my no-suspense top rivalry moment in fifth place, with a paltry 10 percent of the vote. As Jerry Seinfeld would say, “Ladies and gentlemen, I implore you.”)
Baseball signing day for current high school seniors and junior-college players is Wednesday, and, as usual, ASU must contend with the possibility of losing many of their best commitments when they put their names on another dotted line — on a professional contract.
The real barometer will come in August, when the signing deadline arrives for players selected in the June amateur draft.
