Here’s what happened on The 620 SportsLine with Dave Burns :
* With Dennis Erickson’s Territorial Cup debut on the horizon, where does beating Arizona rank for a prospective head coach of ASU. We all know how Dirk Koetter feels, and Burnsy somewhat agrees that it isn’t as high as putting together a perennial power in the Pac-10 and, thus, several Rose Bowl appearances.
* Suns coach Mike D’Antoni stopped by for his weekly visit. He had some interesting comments about the differences between this squad and the one in 2004-5, which also got off to a quick start. He said the team in 2004 took less for granted and treated every game “like Christmas,” especially given where they were one season previous.
* In a follow-up point, D’Antoni said Golden State had that type of enthusiasm and that the Suns did not. He also said that’s what he was trying to emphasize with the fans: The window is closing and they to get enthused right now.

And last but not least, the Cardinals pass the Barr after Sunday’s debacle with San Francisco. Apparently, we know who gets the blame for that tough loss. Not that cutting Neil Rackers, Kurt Warner, or firing himself was really an option for Cardinals coach Ken Whisenhunt.
* Cardinals starting cornerback Eric Green was also placed on IR, creating yet another opening for Bo Schobel, who’s been cut and released by the team more times than Britney Spears has lost her children.
