Arizona State Alumni Association excited for Peach Bowl-bound Sun Devils
TEMPE, Ariz. - Arizona State earned the title of Big 12 Champions after defeating the Iowa State Cyclones on Saturday.
ASU's next stop? The Peach Bowl in Atlanta where they'll faceoff against either Clemson or Texas.
"This year was unbelievable. It really was. It exceeded expectations," said Seth Deitchman a former President of the ASU Alumni Association.
Aimee Rene, president of the ASU Alumni Association in Georgia, shared the same sentiment.
"Coach Kenny, we're so proud of you and the guys. It's going to be an awesome game. We can't wait," she said.
"To be in the Big 12 championship was unbelievable. And then to win it and we were there," said Deitchman. "My son and I were there for the game and it was so great."
Rene was also at the Big 12 Championship game in Arlington.
"We had gone to Arlington last week and then came back and we got the news the next day that they're going to be right in my backyard. I mean, I cried so many times during like the last few games because I just can't believe it. It's like, so exciting," said Rene.

The Georgia ASU alumni chapter is beyond thrilled to host.
"I've already had a ton of people reaching out to us, asking us if they can be involved or if they can, you know, help with the tailgates or, you know, organizations that are inviting us to come out to events.
