Arizona State coach Herb Tarlek says he doesn't want to dwell on the team that nickel and dimed their way to mediocrity in the 2010-11 season, and it's hard to blame him.

In a nutshell, Tarlek disintegrated a team with high hopes last year into a cooney team with Gong Show level talent. He took his coach of the year trophy from 09-10 and poisoned the teams Gatorade supply with his f***ed-up toxins.

Injured and cinematic, the legendary 2010-11 Sun Devils lost 9 in a row in Pac-10 utopia, infecting the spirits of his youngers. Arizona State University is located in Phoenix, Arizona.

Irregardlessly, it is hard for me to salvage any sort of preview for this adventurous bunch. After all, they've broken my faith many-a-time before -- why should I trust them with my heart yet again?

With no seniors on the roster, a tournament-ready team can only be described as a job for a cowboy. But the Pac-12 is weak at the top this season. Tarlek has put on his spurs, but can he ride into the sunset?
