Wyoming is no comparison to Nevada and USD is no comparison to SDSU. Nice win for both schools.

What was your crowd like (both size and loudness) in your game against Nevada. TRUTH

Re: Wyoming not so sure it likes this whole SD universities in D-I thing

How was USD's crowd for the games? really I don't know.... I was not at the game but did listen to parts of it, and it sounded somewhat loud early, but then kinda settled down and never really had to get loud again. The attendance was what a tad over 2,000? Not great, but then again not bad considering its a Tuesday non conference game in the middle of cram mode for many students. One thing I think Jacks fans and eventually USD fans have to understand is Nevada is one of the better programs you will ever get to come play at your place. I think the same thing occurred with football when they first made the transaction. That yes North Carolina, Duke, Florida, Iowa, Minnesota, etc are all really good programs that have a history. Some are better then others, some are at low points some are at high points. However none of them are ever going to step a foot on the court at Frost Arena for a basketball game. The Nevada's, UW-Milwaulkee, UW-Green Bay, Central Michigan, Eastern Illinois are the high level non-conference teams you will get for home games. And even then it is not easy to get teams to come to your place.

Re: Wyoming not so sure it likes this whole SD universities in D-I thing

I think one thing about Wyoming is they should be better then they are. Only non JuCo college in the state, (and the JuCo's in Wyoming get some good recruits. Casper College had 2 top 50 JuCo recruits a couple of years ago.) 150 miles from Denver, nice campus, and nice arena. I know its Wyoming but still they have a strong history, believe they won a national championship in the 40's, had a few good years bout a decade ago and have fallen off the face of the earth now.

I believe the 1940's championship team included the late Curt Gowdy, sports analyst.

That's like saying the Minnesota Gopher football team should be good because they won some championships 50 years ago. Or that the Bison should win football championships because they won them in the 80s.

No I didn't mean that just because they won a title in the 40's that they should be good. What I was saying is that its not a bad town, its a nice campus, its a good arena, its close to a major metro city like Denver and they have a history, they were good in the early 2000's. They play in a conference they should compete in every year and so on and so on. Times do change and I'll agree there but then again I'll say the same thing with the Gophers, they should be good. They have a nice stadium, they are the only D-I school in the state, nice community and so on.

Re: Wyoming not so sure it likes this whole SD universities in D-I thing

First of all if any pendulum is going to swing this year it would swing towards SDSU because USD has been the better program over the past few years including last year. USD had a higher season ending RPI and I seriously doubt any SDSU D1 basketball team could have won any D1 conference with only 1 loss. Throw in a first round Summit tourney loss in basically a home game. I can almost guarantee in that type of friendly atmosphere that USD would have whiped the court with IPFW (or whoever it was that SDSU played).

Speaking of Wyoming the game before they played USD they lost at Missouri by the same margin they lost to USD by. Missouri is a top 20 program. Last night Wyoming beat Indiana State by 30. I would say Wyoming isn't that bad of a team. They played a good game in Vermillion but the Yotes played a great game and had to, to win.

Considering how young this current USD team is they are very similar already to the level they were at last year, or perhaps a bit ahead of that pace considering their schedule and how they have handled the games against major conference teams. USD has played tougher against teams such as Marquette than they did last year. USD was in a single digit game most of the day yesterday against Wisconsin until the last couple of minutes where it got away a bit.

I wouldn't be so quick to crown SDSU the better team this year just yet since the NDSU monkey is still very much alive and sprawled out onto the Jacks backside. Not a good way to start Summit League action by dropping the first home game and now having to get one on the road just to be at the break even level. We know all about the Jacks Summit League road history.

This debate shouldn't even be happening considering SDSU is well past the playoff eligibility plateau and USD is still in year #3 transition.

The gap is also beginning to close in the womens game as well. Looks like the Jacks are a bit down this year and USD is finally getting some better talent to compete a bit better on the offensive end.

I wouldn't worry too much about football. As long as USD has their current coaching staff in place I wouldn't worry too much about the Yotes catching SDSU in football anytime soon. Most Yote fans don't know what they are getting into by being in the MVFC. The Yotes are going to get crushed in that conference with the current direction the program is heading, which is due south.

One thing that always seems to hold true. USD can't really just suck in mens basketball and can't really be all that good in football. Looks like that is one thing that is still very much alive.

Kinda funny isn't it. So many people want me to disappear from the board but as soon as it happens the place turns into a ghost town. What is apparent is that Coyote fans care about responding to my commentary more than they care about supporting and talking about their own team. It's really sad that USD fans are so apathetic about their athletic department. I guess people should be carefull what they wish for as in my exit from the board. Most Coyote fans want things to be nice and orderly. Sit with your hands in your lap, don't stand up to cheer and don't ever create a stir. Be carefull not to raise expectation too high and accept the product no matter what the result.

Just look at the synopsis of the 2010 season on the official Coyote athletics website. It says that things are heading in the right direction. You can say as much as you want and twist it as glass half full or glass half empty but to say that the program is moving in the right direction is ignorant and exactly what people have been saying for the past couple of decades. If the right direction is south than Coyote fans need to be prepared for the crash and burn of rock bottom when the thump of hitting the bottom of the Valley is heard all over the MVFC. Unfortunately it will be realised that the Yotes are getting in way too deep in thinking they can be a real contender in the MVFC because status quo is going to do nothing other than result in many bottom of the barrell finishes in the conference race.

Going to the Big Sky would have forced the USD fanbase to either completely ignore the program or jump on the wagon as an independant path from SDSU. Now what the Summit decision does is allow USD fans to care about one game all year long, ignore the team for the majority of the season and expect the athletic department to thrive.

The USD message board is the proof in the pudding as to why the USD fan base just doesn't get it. Most people could care less and not even a single soul bothered to share even a passing interest in USD's first big 10 basketball game in 25 years. Houston we have a problem.

Nothing else needs to be said. USD may get it one day but that day is long from occurring.
