Guys, that loss by USD doesn't count. It was on the road.

Games on the road, don't count. Ummm. Unless you win, like at Minnesota.

So...it's like this. Losses on the road don't count for the team in red.

Gridiron pendulum
Main article: Gridiron pendulum
The most widely used compensated pendulum was the gridiron pendulum, invented in 1726 by John Harrison.[8][68][71] This consists of alternating rods of two different metals, one with lower thermal expansion (CTE), steel, and one with higher thermal expansion, zinc or brass. The rods are connected by a frame as shown, so that an increase in length of the zinc rods pushes the bob up, shortening the pendulum. With a temperature increase, the low expansion steel rods make the pendulum longer, while the high expansion zinc rods make it shorter. By making the rods of the correct lengths, the greater expansion of the zinc cancels out the expansion of the steel rods which have a greater combined length, and the pendulum stays the same length with temperature.
Zinc-steel gridiron pendulums are made with 5 rods, but the thermal expansion of brass is closer to steel, so brass-steel gridirons usually require 9 rods. Gridiron pendulums adjust to temperature changes faster than mercury pendulums, but scientists found that friction of the rods sliding in their holes in the frame caused gridiron pendulums to adjust in a series of tiny jumps.[71] In high precision clocks this caused the clock's rate to change suddenly with each jump. Later it was found that zinc is subject to creep. For these reasons mercury pendulums were used in the highest precision clocks, but gridirons were used in quality regulator clocks. They became so associated with quality that, to this day, many ordinary clock pendulums have decorative 'fake' gridirons that don't actually have any temperature compensation function.

A better tool for the use discussed on this thread would be a Momentum Meter.

They aren't "losses" they are missed opportunities at winning or simply the result of "unfair" officiating or bad breaks.

How's the pendulum looking now?

1-3 league mark for the year. And they just lost at home.

the horror. THE HORROR!

Did I already do the "Pit and the Pendulum" joke? I can't remember and am too lazy to go back and look . . .

Does anyone dare imagine what will happen once they get into the MVFC? Oh my will that be fun to watch.

To USD fans there will be one game every year that counts, all the rest are just to fill out the schedule.

Certainly not you. There are a lot bigger fish to fry than State.

Back when I played there were 3 automatic wins on the schedule....State, Augie, and Morningside. Looks like we are getting one back.

Yea looks like it, how did you do up in Fargo against a MVFC team? Or against UNI the past couple years? Cause we've beaten them both in the last two years.

How old are you then???

From 1991-2003 - SDSU went 12-3 versus the Yotes. Keep in mind, for a few years in the early 90's there were two beat downs per year.

Yep, three automatic wins a year...for SDSU.

Either you played in the Disco Decade or without a facemask cause Jacks won 16 of last 27; 6 of 10 in the '60s; and 6 and tied 1 of 10 games played in the '50s.

For a moment, I thought USD had a chance to finish this season with a winning record in its conference. Then I realized that's the University of San Diego Toreros, not the Coyotes of South Dakota. The Coyotes are re-establishing a tradition of losing.

Disco.......70's

No offense, it was a fact. Beat ya like a drum then. Didn't say anything else, all I said was when we played.

Thumper my friend..........we beat Cal-Poly and Minnesota the past couple of years. How did you do?

The only one that matters in this debate is playing each other. With the merger, the skirt is now off. Neither team can hide.

(not wise to use comparitive scores)
