What is it about Yote fans?

[LakeJack]

I gotta tell you the reaction that some Yote fans have had to the Minnesota win had me confused. I will admit it was a big win, one they should be proud of but it seemed to me that this single win was the end all and be all to so many of them. If they lost every game the rest of the season it wouldn't matter because they beat Minnesota.

I gave it some thought and then it came to me. Yote fans are wired to only care about one game. It used to be the SDSU game. This realization helped me understand the venom that many Yoties spewed when we moved up and took their game away. It also explains why they are still losing their minds now that they have moved up, but are not on our schedule. They want their one game back. They really NEED that one game.

So the Minnesota game feels like home for them. They won their one game and now they don’t have to care anymore, because no matter what else happens the rest of their season they can feel good about themselves because of that one game.

The only question left to be answered is why are Yote fans that way, is it tradition, training, something else? I am just not sure.

LakeJack you're either on to something or you're on something. Either way I think you have gained valuable insight into the world of the Coyote.

Abandonment issues, low self-esteem, rabies.

Rabies? Yeeks! Perhaps the Dundar Mifflin Rabies Awareness Pro-Am Fun Run For the Cure could throw a little help toward the Coyotes.

Any transition program that beats a team from an established conference such as the Big 10 should take full advantage of the moment, celebrate it and relish in it for awhile. To not do so is to kind of discredit the accomplishment.

Coyote fans realise the importance of the moment. I believe Yote fans look at the win as validation that they "for sure belong" rather than a be all end all. Actually USD could not have been more ready to play in a game against a NAIA opponent in what very easily could have been a major letdown game.

Transition is tough but moments like the win at Minnesota or winning the basketball conference make transition definately not so bad. As a fan I will admit that the first couple of years of transition sucked but with the basketball success last year combined with the strong finish to the football season last year and now the Minnesota win make this a prosperous time when it could just as easily be the opposite.

There are way too many tough games on the football schedule for the team to not take some lumps. I don't think many Coyote fans would be satisfied if the team basically tanked the rest of the season.

SDSU fans think USD misses/needs them much more than USD fans do.

Yet USD fans continue to post on an SDSU fan forum, mostly complaining and attempting to compare yourselves to SDSU.

This sounds a lot like UND fans, it was the only thing cared about prior to hockey season. But they don't just want the game back, it has to be on their terms as well.

What is up with Yote fans? I heard a guy on KFAN yesterday actually call USD the Harvard of the Dakotas.

Didn't USD copy that name from Creighton or UNL. I seem to recall one or the other used the phrase "Harvard of the Plains" back in the 80s, early 90s.
