Re: soccer

I think it is safe to say that sdsu will not win a d1aa game this year. I put the over/under for basketball at one. Somehow I do think they will get one win somewhere in men's basketball. That is assuming a healthy big guy (sorry I forgot name) who has had some unlucky health problems. But I don't want to go thru what you are going to go thru in basketball for the next decade. I sat thru the Rick jackson era (pre dana altman) at creighton where we were winning about 6 games a year and it was ugly and not very interesting. The marquettes of the world aren't that much fun if you can't compete with them. You shall see. Have a nice day. But if you can compete with them I will give you your dues and admit I am wrong. So far no evidence of that in fb, soccer or volleyball yet.

bigjake,

Don't expect any job offers from Vegas.  You would run a Casino into the ground in no time.

By the way, what do you call the Volleyball Team's 4 wins over D-I schools so far? SDSU has beaten:   UTEP, Texas Southern, Northwestern St. (La.), and Boston College!

The question you need to ask yourself is "How do I like my crow"? You are going to be eating a lot of it this year.    

Go State!  ;D

Re: soccer

My mistake on the volleyball team but really who gives a hoot about volleyball anyway. It is fb and basketball and the rest is just fluff around the edges. I am waiting anxiously for proof in the 2 big sports and I include women in the bb aspect.
By the way the last time I placed a bet thru a bookmaker I took the Mn Vikings and got 3 points against the Steel Curtain. Needless to say I don't bet any longer but if I was a betting person I would be betting AGAINST your success. Ultimately though you could be 9-19 in basketball and you fanatics would spin it as a success anyway. But it is still fun to rant a little bit.

Re: soccer

... And soccer was such a big deal when we opened with a 2-0 loss to UW-Milwaukee. But not a word when Creighton loses 3-0 to the same UW-Milwaukee team on Sunday. Now soccer is just "fluff around the edges." Flip-flop. Flip-flop.

Re: soccer

and Creighton beat SDSU 2-0 so whats your point.

Re: soccer

With the season UNO is having and the way USD is playing I think the 'yotes have a shot this saturday. It'll be a sad day in Omaha if the mavs lose this one. I'll be rooting for your boys bigjake and mav1. But if your guys lose, I'm not sure you should show up for a while.

Re: soccer

I guess if i were having the troubles you are on the fb field and soccer field I would think 5-7 in vb is pretty good, too. I would wager that the majority of alumni on this board haven't been to a volleyball game since they were students. Usually those things have so few people that it would quicker to introduce the fans instead of the players at the beginning of the game. You can have great equestrian, great vb, great soccer which you won't - but if you do and you stink in fb and bb then it just just doesn't matter. People don't come to those events other than a few friends and relatives. FB and BB are the high visibility sports. The others are nice but not many people pay attention.
By the way I am a uno fan first, creighton second and unl a distant third. I didn't realize I could only pull for one school. The is the advantage of living in a truly wonderful metropolitan area - more choices. Oh well, I guess you people can go over and cheer for dakota state or whatever the heck that school is in madison, sd.

Re: soccer

blah, blah, blah. Are you going to give us credit, like you said you would, or are you going to be negative no matter what we do? I think I know the answer. I just want to hear it from you.

Go State! ;D

Re: soccer

Seriously I am rather impressed that you have beaten four d1 teams in vb.  Granted it is a "fluff around the edges" kind of sport but it is impressive nonetheless.  Can't argue that point.
By the way over the last year I have said a few nice things about sdsu. You just don't remember
1. you have a great marching band - probably even better or at least as good as Huskers
2. great bb arena
3. great men's bb coach
4. nice fans.
So I haven't been totally negative - yes, 90 percent but I have had some nice things to say about sdsu

See that wasn't so bad.

Re: soccer

jake's prediction southern 45-sdsu 13. Not as close as the score indicates.
By the way I was disappointed nobody congratulated me on becoming a sophomore on the board. Gosh, you people are gushing over sdsufan and 1000 posts. Heck I have over 100 quality posts that have improved the diversity on the board and stimulated discussion.
Where is my congratulations?

Re: soccer

What's your prediction for uno v. usd??

I say uno 42 usd 35. It's a sad day in omaha if this one's as close as it sounds like it's gonna be.

Oh yeah, let me be the 1st to "good job" on your accomplishment. Everyday when I wake up I jump on the cpu to see if you've graced us with words of wisdom. ;D

[bigjake]

Re: soccer

uno 42-28 usd. UNo has absolutely no pass rush so we always have to blitz leaving receivers one on one with our secondary. We aren't very good but usd hasn't beaten anyone.
In the omaha world herald huge column by tom shatel again today about uno needing to go d1aa in fb and how the ncc is just a shell of its former self which I agree. He still is saying that there is a lot of talk of reclassification where you can play d1aa in fb and fund 63 scholarships and stay d2 in everything else. Apparently other schools around here are interested in that especially if d2 cuts fb scholarships down to 24. I hope the vote passes to force uno and other big schools like cmsu, nwmo st, psu and some in the ncc to push for change. He said the same thing I have been saying though is that we CAN"T compete in d1 sports like wrestling and bb, etc. We will get killed in those sports if we go d1 just as you are going to get killed.
Just one man's opinion (albeit one highly connected man around here) and he knows that the if this reclassication does come our regents will go for it. I assume that the league stuff will work itself out somehow for us to either stay in the ncc (ala the rmac)and not play d2 fb or else develop a new league with the psu's and nwmo's and other schools like that want to go the dual route.
They usually put tom shatel's column up a day later in archive bc I couldn't find on omaha.com today. I have agreed all along that you are right about d1aa fb but disagree about the other sports.
