  • SERIOUS: USD or Montana State?

    I wonder what the serious, sincere consensus is of regulars and not-so-regulars on this message board on the question: Who would you prefer to win when USD travels to Montana State 9/27? I'm just not a fan of the Montana schools (I don't appreciate football contract cancellations regardless of the reason) and while I have yellow and blue blood, I recognize I have a degree from the place down south too which sometimes gives me a leaning when playing foreigners. So, if it can be done without smack,...who do you favor? (There's a 'Neither-of-the-above' choice too).

    I dislike them both for different reasons. Having a degree from one of the schools almost tilts me in favor of their athletic teams.

    Now, if you ask me which university I prefer to be a faculty member at thats an east one, USD all the way.

      I have experienced both sets of fans. I would prefer neither win. Can they end up with a 0-0 tie with like 6 punts and 17 turnovers and about 150 total yards of offense.

        I'm with you on this one...Is it possible for both to lose?

          I voted USD because I am a partisan of the State of South Dakota. I like the scoreless tie scenario though, mostly because CF will be insufferable if the Coyotes win.

            I voted for Montana State. How could you not love a 35-0 throttling of USD?

              Montana State is not very good. The Coyotes have a chance. But not a big one. 24-14 MSU.

                Speaking of Montana State, maybe USD and UND will wind up some day in the Big Sky Conference. Out of sight, out of mind.

                  I have picked MSU, but found this USD UNI clip. Its got all the good plays but its a bit scary.

                    I was not at the game but it's good to see some video. Some things I noticed. USD really swarms to the ball well and seems to be rather fast on defense. Noah Shepard is very hard to deal with. He is carrying the Yotes offense right now both throwing and running. I have not seen the No. Iowa QB from last year but I imagine Shepard is similar. I don't think the Coyotes have the skill on the O-Line this year and don't have as talented of runningbacks as they had the last few years. Both teams looked similar athletically from what was shown but of course the highlights were all the good plays for the Yotes. It seemed from the camera angles that the field looked kind of small so because of that the players were flying around out there pretty good.

                      I really wonder who cares. I know I won't be checking for the score of this one.

                        I voted for USD but have to admit that a Montana State victory might put a smile on my face!

                          I recognize that team in red and white. They were on TV last week in Bismarck, of all places. They kicked the snot out of some community college from Missouri. I'm still wondering what the whole purpose behind the broadcast was.

                            It's easy for me. Montana State is constantly being berated by high-falootin' Griz fans as a cow college. I heard plenty of that crap from prissy frat boy Yote fans over the years, so I'd love to see Montana State drub the Yotes. I hate the Coyotes. The only time I would cheer for them is if they were playing the New York Yankees.

                              I'll pick a "State" school anytime over the U. Don't care if its in Montana, Arizona, Florida, or New York.
