Re: SDSU vs USD

Congrats on surviving your game with Winona St.  We beat them by 11 this season.   SDSU 70 - Winona St. 59  ;D

South Dakota gains final by edging Winona State

Minneapolis Star Tribune

Turner Trofholz (19 points) and Luke Tibbetts (17) led South Dakota to a 73-68 victory over Winona State.  .  .

Go State, South Dakota's ONLY D-I University!  8)

Keep living off that Winona win. Hopefully it will make you forget your drubbings to Southwest St., the two Wayne State's, and Morningside.

I'm pretty worried about Metro. I saw what they did to you guys last year, I sure hope the same thing doesn't happen to us. I can't ever see a Dave Boots team getting beat by 40points, but Metro is awful tough on their court. Now that Anderson is hurt we are down to 6 players that actually play. Hopefully we can avoid foul trouble. The RMAC has kind of dominated the region lately, hopefully USD can change that. I wish this game would have been in Omaha.

Re: SDSU vs USD

The Winona game means little to us now.  It's our three D-I wins last season that make me smile.  Reason being, I know they were just the beginning.  As Timbuk 3 sang "The future's so bright, I gotta wear shades!"  8)

Go State!  ;D

New Coach DeHaven has a lot of work to do to bring SDSU track and field back to it's former prominence. Ever since Fred fired Scott Underwood the program has struggled

Thanks for the updates USDSPORTSFAN. Now, back to lurking in the shadows until you can bring some more negativity. Get a life. Popping in on this forum and ripping our recruits, programs and conference aspirations. How noble you are.

Re: SDSU vs USD

Let me try my hand at some math. Their non-conference opponents finished a combined 18-37, 12 of those wins by one school. Which one will be dubbed the Cupcake Bowl?

[MilwaukeeJacksAlum]

Re: SDSU vs USD

If USD doesn't go at least 8-3 with that schedule, it would be a failure. The current coach must be chomping at the bit to get out of the prior idiotic scheduling agreements because that schedule is horrible. I could realistically see them going 9-2 and missing the playoffs again with that schedule.

[JACKGUYII]

Re: SDSU vs USD

DIAA feels pretty good when you look at that schedule!

[MilwaukeeJacksAlum]

Re: SDSU vs USD

I can only figure that USD must have had a hard time filling the schedule when SDSU and NDSU departed, but I find it hard to believe they couldn't do any better than that. SDSU and every school has had the occasional UW-Stout and SD Tech as their opening day "pre-season" game, but to have 4 of them in one year is inexusable. Like last year, if USD fails to make the playoffs with a good record they only have themselves to blame.

[jackmd]

Re: SDSU vs USD

Upper Iowa and USD are expected to be traveling partners in the new NSIC. This is the beginning of a long love affair between USD and UUI. Its really not that far-fetched if you think about it.

[JBNJBQ]

Re: SDSU vs USD

[glb]usdII[/glb] has always scheduled a bunch of weaker schools on the front end of their schedules. They like the press they get when they go "undefeated" before the conference starts. They start out looking like they really have a team "this year." Then in the conference (in years past) they drop to the middle of the pack.

I will say that last year without SDSU, NDSU and UNC they did have fewer losses than usual. I don't think it had anything to do with the quality of their team. It had more to do with the quality of their competition. ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

Now we are going to take 12-1 teams and call them cupcakes. :
I do wish we were playing tougher teams in the pre conference schedule than Crookston and Truman St. But I wouldn't be so hard on those teams if I was you. They are to DII what you guys are to DI. If University of Nebraska was ever to schedule SDSU and NDSU everybody would be talking about their embarrassing preconference schedule. In fact they are catching $hit for scheduling both of you guys in baseball. You are one of those teams that are embarrassing to schedule for the big dogs. I guess I rather play a few crappy teams, than be one of the crappy teams.

Upper Iowa: 2-8
Moorehead: 0-11
Truman St: 2-9
Crookston: 2-8

By my count that's four teams that can claim 6 wins total. I bet if you dug into those wins, 2/3 of them would be against DIII or NAIA competition. That's what I meant by cupcakes.

And, we're not in the same division as Nebraska in football. We're D1-AA and were 6-5 last year. Hardly one of the crappy teams. Also, in all of our years of DII, we never had a schedule as laughable as that. While USD was scheduling Northern and sisters of the blind, we were playing Cal Davis and Northwest Missouris State and Grand Valley State. There's other options out there, USD just didn't want to play them.

Re: SDSU vs USD

We were 6-5 last year with one of the toughest schedules in all of DI AA. Spare us your schedule comparisons.

[JACKGUYII]

Re: SDSU vs USD

Even if USD waltzes through that joke of a schedule I see the Coyotes continue you to struggle keeping everyone but the hard core fans interested in what's happening in Vermillion. Meanwhile the Jacks will be playing 6 home DIAA games against worthy opponents. In our second year of competition I'm sensing the gap of talent and interest widening between SDSU and USD.
