... SDSU fans can thank their maker that the SDSU administration wanted nothing to do with scheduling the Yotes.

Yeah, I'm sure that's why SDSU raced out ahead and went D-1 several years before the Coyotes. The Jacks just didn't want to have to tangle with the Yoties any more. ... Yuck, yuck, yuck. ... The logic fueling this thread is getting goofier and goofier.

Well if USD did play in the Summit League this year, I don't think they would be a middle of the pack team. Playing on the road in the Summit is very tough and it takes a while to get use to the travel schedule. USD may win 1 road game this year and that is it. Even winning at Centenary is not easy. NSDU won at Centenary in OT there first year in the league and they went on to win the conference the next year. That NDSU team was better than USD and they only won 3 games on the road that first year. Again, I would give USD 1 road win.

As far as home games, I don't see USD beating Oakland, IUPUI, Oral Roberts. They probably don't beat IPFW either. That leaves SDSU, NDSU, UMKC, Western Illinois, Centenary and So. Utah. USD would probably split these games, winning 3 and losing 3. That would put USD at 4-14 in conference play. This would not get you into the conference tourney. You would need to win 6 games to get into this years tourney.

I'll also take this opportunity to give a shout out to those Coyote fans who do post here and exhibit signs of rational thought--Yoteforever, yotemeal (although has he been around lately?), even RabbitObserver have generally been rational, yet apparently still USD fans (much as the concept may boggle the mind of the average SDSU fan). There may be others, and I apologize for not recognizing you here. I blame Miller and his cursed light beer.

Filbert, you shouldn't have; I'm blushing.

I’m not sure why Coyote Fan posted his thoughts in the smack section. Seems more like a benevolent act. Instead of using a little wit to pour salt in your wounds, CF, in CF fashion, tee’d you up a fat vulnerable argument that is appropriately resting about 320 yards down the center of the fairway.

I think what CF meant to say, a message I might endorse, is that the USD men, strength of schedule aside, have put together a respectable season, and based on an eye test and rough analysis of talent, the current USD men’s squad competing against mid-pack Summit League teams is not a laughable notion. Or something like that.

Of course, this is a sports message board, a forum in which we debate, speculate and occasionally antagonize. I’d prefer it if CF would quit throwing you guys so many pitches that land in the upper deck, but I’ll give the guy credit for loyalty and remind myself that every family has at least one. I just wake up every morning thanking god Lakes doesn’t wear red.

"CONFERENCE" run? Isn't the Great West just a scheduling alliance thus it doesn't count as a conference title?

Now go back to your board and play with those 5 people in the country who actually care about USD athletics.

WAIT the Great WEST ISN'T a CONFERENCE? Their best goes to the post season tourney lower than the NIT. USD has a shot. Pretty amazing that there is a lower conference best than SWAC or independents.

Re: USD's Title as Best Team in the Dakotas Secured

Major message board infraction: implying CF is capable of posting a logical thought.

Of course, we all know Jacked_Up was just joking.

. . . wating patiently for the C_F complaint about personal attacks on his sorry excuse for "smack" and hypocrisy of the moderators for not permanently banning . . . um . . . themselves, I guess.

Maybe I should just go ahead and change his screen name to Coyote_Doofus and be done with it . . . But, on second thought, what could be more embarrassing than to be known on the Internet as "Coyote_Fan?"

I may have to reconsider his postings, and my entire attitude towards him, now that I realize the depth and subtlety of his wry, self-deprecating humor . . . hmm . . .

Re: USD's Title as Best Team in the Dakotas Secured

How about because of the arrogance of a good number of Jackrodent fans that feel they are the best thing to ever happen to the world. A bit of reality stings especially since your elder brother is about to finish their conference run at 11-1. Just look at the ratings, because they actually do take strength of schedule into account. I know these types of losses to IPFW are really not that big of a deal since they are such commonplace. I guess maybe I shouldn't of come and smacked since I should have known better to be used to this by now. My bad.

Pretty sure CoyoteFan will wake up around noon tomorrow and one of his first thoughts will be, "eeerrrrrrfffffffffffffhhhhhhhhggg eeggggffff uhhhhhh did I post a bunch of childish crap on a Jackrabbit message board last night?"

Re: USD's Title as Best Team in the Dakotas Secured

No you didn't and don't pretend differently. You've likely never had a good opinion and that is the way it should be because those the bring the truth usually aren't though of too highly.

And those that can't type accurately aren't thought of too highly either.

Though you may not have noticed the problem, or what I did there.

Miller and his cursed light beer have not left me inferior tonight to your feeble machinations and schemings. And my vocabulary is better than yours. Because I went to State. A real university, not a pretend one.

And you smell funny, too. Probably the mange. You should probably have that checked out.

...if I'm ever so pathetic to start a smack thread on a rival message board at 8:00 on a Sunday night, when my very own board has like 3 followers, just put me out of my misery.

side note: CF, I thought you were better than that until now...

Re: USD's Title as Best Team in the Dakotas Secured

I appreciate FargoB's contributions to the board. Reasonable posts, overall. On the other hand, anything from CF can pretty much be dismissed a laughable drivel. As this thread proves once again.

I'll also take this opportunity to give a shout out to those Coyote fans who do post here and exhibit signs of rational thought--Yoteforever, yotemeal (although has he been around lately?), even RabbitObserver have generally been rational, yet apparently still USD fans (much as the concept may boggle the mind of the average SDSU fan).

Re: USD's Title as Best Team in the Dakotas Secured

The fans filing out of the Sioux Falls arena have plenty of time to drive down to Vermillion to see the second half of the best team in the Dakotas. IPFW is just too good for the Jackrodents to deal with. Of course despite it being a home game SDSU just couldn't get it done like usual. USD would never let an opportunity like that slip away.

Plenty of time to get down to Vermillion, plenty of time. I know how bad your fans want to see a winner, it's only 50 miles south of the Summit League tourney.
