We have talked a great deal about SDSU' s biggest win and in Football, the 1935 win over the Big 10 Wisconsin Badgers has to be at the top of the list. Many of the players on that squad are no longer among the living and we just recently lost another one, Ron Ringsrud.
Here is his obituary from today's Sioux Falls Argus.
