The year was 2009 and we fans are still in heated debate
Which one of the Universities have the best sports in the state
The fans from Brookings think their beloved Jacks are the best
When the alum from the U think they are nothing more than pests
The fall season went well for State, the football playoffs were made
Their hopes for a national title were strong until a 4th quarter fade
Even though those that wear blue and yellow and don't give a pizz
Many of the Coyote faithful were pulling 4 the Jacks against the Griz
That season has now ended and basketball is the scene
And that constant barbing back and forth at times can get mean
Once again bragging rights are being set by comparitive scores
When those that know better are delegated to snores
Then comes another classic debate on Coughlin or the Dome
Which facilty would future athletes prefer to call home
The fans from the north refer to our home as the Dump
When the place they are proud of the grass comes in lumps
If I could be a prophet and see what the next century would hold
Hate State and Screw the U would be the popular lines I would be told
And Coughlin would have expanded to 35,000 seats and a rodeo ring
And administration at USD would report sellout crowds, that be their thing
Our grandkids would be on blog boards or the 22nd century version of that
Bantering back and forth between bragging or just chewin' the fat
USD would be belittling the Jacks and the Jacks belittling the Yotes
And both would be trying to jam statistics down our respective throats
The snow begins falling and the tempatures drop like a rock
Christmas trees are standing and around the fireplace hangs socks
December 25th is approaching and I propose a toast of cheer
From a Coyote to a Jacks fan Merry X-Mas and Happy New Year
