I have a passion. It is football. It is a specific college football team. It is the Arizona State University Sun Devils. I want to share that passion.

In the last few years I’ve begun creating fan art and posting it on social media. It’s fun. It’s one way I can express my fanatical love for my beloved Sun Devils. Sadly, I cannot contribute financially the way I want to. I own and operate a small business. The earning from the business are focused on providing for the family and what remains doesn’t allow for season tickets or contributions to the athletics program.

So, I created my own way to contribute. It may not equate to advancing the bottom line of ASU’s financial efforts, but it does allow me the opportunity to support in a way that utilizes my talents.

Maybe some day the passion will translate to something that enables me to support ASU Athletics with monetary value.

To me, there is real value in sharing my passion the best way I can at this point. #ForksUp

#nDo (or #NewDevilsOrder) is a movement of excellence for the athletic programs of our favorite university.

Long story short, there is a shift in momentum that is beginning at the university. It is not just a football thing, but a new attitude throughout the university’s athletics programs, academics and even the approach the university takes on a daily basis.

However, the specific #nDo that has many fans excited is the commitment of the state’s top athletes to the athletics programs like football. For many years this has not been the case. Far too often high school athletes opted to leave the state for other programs. This latest football recruiting cycle may be evidence in a change. A new mindset of the young, local athletes. They are beginning to see the opportunity to build a legacy right in their own backyard. A place where their family and friends can witness it firsthand. They are the next generation of Sun Devils. They are the new era (or order if you will).

New. Devils. Order.
