Arizona State has changed their football helmet logo from the cartoony Satan of previous years to the feared cocktail fork. When the Sun Devils play the South Alabama Oysters On The Half-Shell, it’s definitely going to be intimidating for the “Fightin’ Shucked Oysters”! (They could scare them further by smearing cocktail sauce on their uniforms.) They’re probably doing this to try to deflect growing suspicion that they’ve been worshipping the devil in exchange for a national title. Continuing to have him on their helmets might have been a dead giveaway. But given their recent repeat wins of the BCS Championship games, aren’t we all still going to be able to tell? What’s that? They didn’t win? Oh; well, perhaps Satan realizes that you appreciate it more when you’re made to earn it for yourselves. And maybe it keeps people from finding out about the pact. But I think this is really more a case of the kind of story you’ll find in a Chick Publications religious comic booklet: the devil tempts a team with promises of a big championship title, luring them to worship him, but then he betrays them with an ugly new uniform that has a big cocktail fork on the helmet. (And they still don't even win!) The Apocrypha is full of stories like this. When will we ever learn?
