  • Best team in the Dakotas...

    Somebody told me this morning that there's a story in the Argus Leader dubbing USF the best football team in the Dakotas. I haven't found it online. Has anybody else seen it? I'd be interested in it, that's for sure. Can't help but assume it follows the "Poly beat SDSU and UND beat Poly and USF beat UND philosophy."

    Well, this thread should get people yapping. Ready....discuss:
    Grumbling along and embracing my role. If I didn't care, I wouldn't care. Go Jacks!

    It is just a comment made to the college football articles. It appears to have been made tongue in cheek by a fan of USF.

          This kind of logic is amusing, but beyond flawed. I believe a case could have been made a couple years ago that Grand Valley State (DII) was a top 5 NCAA Division I basketball team due to their upset of Michigan State in an exhibition game.

          I remember telling a friend after USF defeated North Dakota that I wasn't sure if it was a good thing or a bad thing; as in, I was happy to see some South Dakota kids get a big victory, but I knew uneducated fans would throw around illogical assumption about USF as well.

              1 - The Jackrabbits of South Dakota State University. Any other opinion at this time is simply rediculous.

              2 + don't care.

                  I'm disappointed that this thread has even 8 posts on it. The concept is so utterly ridiculous that it shouldn't deserve attention.















                  aw crap now it has 9!

                          For the sake of the thread, I would certainly give USF the number 2 spot... but hey, 2nd only means your the best of the losers...

                              Of course the only people that really understand how all those computer projections work (MIT) have no use for it.
