    YF:
    1. Is there a "right" answer, in your estimation?
    2. Like Pavlov to the bell, this will probably invite more buzz from the fresh-off-the-ban poster who shall remain nameless who felt it was the absolute obligation for Jacks fans to cheer for the Bizun in the Summit men's tournament. Thanks for that.
    3. The fact that this began in smack does not bode well for the use of its data.
    4. Jacks fans cheer for the Jacks and don't usually have much energy or time to worry about questions like this.

      Geez Nova, it is a simple question. One of your moderators asked if I would use it in the future as being arrogant, and I said NO.

      I just want to know if you would cheer for or against.....now when I went to college (years ago) it wouldn't have been regarded as a tough question.

          I won’t cheer for USD unless they’re:

          A) Playing an FBS opponent; OR
          B) A USD victory directly helps SDSU

            I would not cheer for, or against. I just would not care.

                I KNEW this survey sounded familiar. YFE, you've already polled yourself on the flip side, as stated in this excerpt from your December post on a "Coyote Athletics" string!!! (bolditalics added)

                "Lastly, quite frankly I am not a SDSU hater. Quite the opposite. I do cheer for them when they play anyone but USD. I am rare in that regard, I understand that. But what is best for the state of South Dakota is to have two teams be contenders. Your program has done many things correct. They have done somethings wrong, but that would happen anywhere. But if you are honest with yourself, you have to admit your biggest fear is having all this BIG TALK, then finally having to play USD, and get your butts handed to you. You fear that more than anything."

                (On that last point, there are a lot of things to fear beyond losing to the "U." Take the swine flu, allegedly started this way (it's on the Internet, it must be true):

                  You raise a really good issue IF I asked to poll myself. The question was would you as a SDSU fan cheer for the Coyotes in a tournament or championship final. This really isn't hard NoVa

                  I think I have been consistent. Don't answer the poll if you can't understand the question. In fact, kill the thread. Only 2-3 have answered honestly.

                    My youngest son and I drove two hours to Midland, Michigan when the coyotes played Northland Univ. in the D2 football playoffs a few years ago. And yes we cheered for the coyotes, Pres Abbott and his wife were close friends of my mother when she was alive.

                      Depends on what kind of USD fan's I have been around proximate to the date of the game.

                          Nope, never. However, I have and will hope that the players do well. But just can not cheer/root for the institution.

                            I'll support the institution, the students, and the athletes. However, I am not a coyote fan. Maybe that makes sense, maybe that doesn't. I'm a Jackrabbit fan and that by my definition means that I hate the coyotes.

                              Good clarification MD, I can not root for the institution's teams. I want the U to be a successful school, but I can't root for their teams.
