Since I don't follow the "yotes closely I don't know the exact numbers, but have they beat a team on the road with a winning record since their so called resurgence? They don't deserve to play in the play-offs if they can't win on the road. SDSU has played 6 games on the road with a 4-2 record (2-2 against teams with winning records).
USD had a pretty good showing up in Grand Forks today so don't even talk. Your team is good but they consistantly have to come from behind to win. That isn't always going to happen so you will need to find a way to play better earlier in games or it will come back to bite you eventually.
No, we have had to come from behind against 3 of the upper tier teams in I-AA.
We handled the team you couldn't score on from the opening kickoff. The same thing was true today.
How can you honestly say you had a good showing today? You lost! I do believe the Yotes will make the playoffs but your team had better figure out how to play good teams on the road or it will come back to bite you eventually. Oh wait it did already last year and is about to again this year!

Just how does a "Good Loss" feel. Might be the good loss that keeps you folks whining about not making the playoffs.

A long bus trip. If they were D1, they could fly.
Northwood is farther away from USD than Central Arkansas..........maybe Brokaw is willing to fund a charter since it's the last playoff appearance that USD(D-2) may have for awhile...........
Funny you should say that since you're rubber stamp committee make the rec to move DI. You'll be in for a long run with no playoffs anywhere in sight. Enjoy your playoffs while you can. The funny thing is last years team was head and shoulders better than this years team, but this years is in....Good luck....
Btw, I noticed the rec of that committee was on page 30. Where can I find the rest of the report? And another question that has been asked by many Jacks fans but not USD fans is why didn't your consultant say where the money is coming from or what type of financial plan you'll need?
Oh no, bad news for USD a road game against a good team. Hey Coyote_Fan remind us when was the last time that USD beat a team with a winning record on the road? Should be a long trip and a short playoff stay. Sorry in advance if all the hoopla of NDSU hosting SDSU for the Dakota Marker and GWFC title overshadows your playoff appearance, but you gotta kind of expect it because we are talking about D-I football you know.
Best of luck to USD, but I can hear the cry of the Coyotes already . . . "we would have beaten then if we could have played them in the dome". ;D

You are right about this. If I could only choose one of the teams to make the playoffs it would have been last years team. They were much better. I think getting screwed last year helped us get in this year. Road wins are still tough to come by for this team. It would have been really nice to hold on to the #3 or #4 spot so we could host a game. I'm not saying we deserved it, I'm just saying it would have been nice. It's very exciting to be back in the playoffs again, hopefully it won't be one and done. It will be unless we figure out how to play better on the road.
