Todd Graham was yelling at me, but I couldn’t hear him over Arizona State’s pre-practice stretching music. On this day, Metallica.
I walked closer.
“That’s a good look for you,” the ASU coach said on the Kajikawa practice fields.
I knew he wasn’t talking about my haircut. He was talking about my shirt. It was light purple. Not blue, my normal color of choice.
Graham hates blue.
After practice, it’s fairly common for him to walk by reporters in ASU’s new football facility muttering about all the blue shirts in the hallway. At times, he has joked about keeping any blue-clad scribes out of practice.
