Re: Jackrabbits in Top 25

[quote author=MilwaukeeJacksAlum link=1162231789/15#28 date=1162852169]I'm too lazy to look, but realistically, if both teams win our games this week, we'll both be in the top 20 in the rankings.  My question for anyone wanting to look would be when was the last time NDSU and SDSU met on the football field when we were both ranked?  I know we were ranked for the occasional week in the last couple years in DII, but not sure if we ever played NDSU while they were ranked at the same time we were.  Hopefully, the game in 2 weeks will be a lot of recent firsts.

First time NDSU and SDSU have battled for a conference title since _______.
First time NDSU and SDSU have both been ranked at game time since _____.
First time since _____ that SDSU has been riding a 7 game winning streak.

Since the team won't look ahead, I will and add these and be happy to see them in two weeks :

First time since 1963 that SDSU wins a conference title
First time since ______ that SDSU beats NDSU in Fargo...[/quote]

First time since 1962 that SDSU beats NDSU in Fargo.

Gotta give credit to this kid for taking some shots and bouncing right back.  This is the kind of Jackrabbit fan I like.  Welcome to the board 3031 and stick around for awhile.

I'd love to help you and your friends out with tickets since I can't make the trip.  Send me a PM and I'll see if we can work something out.

[SDSUJack3031]

Re: Jackrabbits in Top 25

That's funny...I just bought the tickets about 5 minutes ago. But thanks for your help though! I truly appreciate it!

Re: Jackrabbits in Top 25

The Jacks have moved from #22 to # 19 in the Sports Network Poll. They just missed being #18 by three points.

http://www.sportsnetwork.com/default...v-1aa-poll.htm

One of the computer rankings has them as high as # 9 this week. But the Jacks come between 10 and 18 in most of the computer rankings.

You guys have a long way to go to reach our rank.......#4

going to be a good game next week.

Your correct. We will admit to being the underdog. But, if we pull the upset it will be much easier for you to drop down to where we are ranked. You can't go up much further. We can and hopefully will. Good luck Saturday.

Re: Jackrabbits in Top 25

Jacks moved up to #17 under Cal Poly for the AGS Poll. If they win at NDSU, I would be content finishing the year in the top 15

[EQguy]

Re: Jackrabbits in Top 25

You better be a damn lot more than content!

Pre-season looking at the schedule we had we all were talking about possibly a 3 or 5 win season. :P

After TGWSNBM :'( many went all apocalyptic and were firing the staff and figuring we'd be lucky to win 2 games.

Even if we lose to NDSU we will still be in the top 25 which hasn't happened at SDSU for a long time.

The future is sooo bright 8-)
