BracketBuster

Re: BracketBuster

aww every one near a border with another state or country has their little pet names for people from the other area. like along the Missouri River we refered to Nebraskans as Sand Lizards and of course the Idiot Out Wandering Around. over here we refer to the Canadians as Canucks and some other NSFW names. which reminds me. thank you So Dak Dept of Transportation for putting both the mph and kph on the speed limit signs. for some reason I think the Canucks think when the sign says say 45 they think its kilometers per hour and not miles per hour so they go like 20. also look up rabbit choker in the urban dictionary and you will find all sorts of tems and definitions relating to rabbit goings on.

Rabbit choker?

Re: BracketBuster

I am pleased to have made so many new friends. Be happy that you are not "COYOTES" or, worse -- Coyote Ugly. I must confess to have been confused and amused by the sensitivity shown by Colorado adults. Evidently, they've never been to Moby Gym in Ft Collins? Recall when the CSU f'ball coach ran his team down the stands through the (sitting) Cowboy Band? He said (in his defense) that CSU was the "RAMS" and that "Beat the Sheep" was offensive. (Likely before they were born.)

Re: BracketBuster

I've been to Wyoming many times and had not heard or read the term "rabbit choker" until I saw our new friend from Wyoming's post on the Murray State board. It certainly is not a widespread or well-known nickname. I have several friends who are South Dakota natives but have lived in Wyoming for many years. I'll have to ask them about the 'rabbit-choker' moniker.

In any event, it doesn't strike me as being particularly derrogatory and is more an attempt at good-natured fun.

Agreed. Welcome Cowboyracer.

I posted the BDRC song in an earlier post. It was recorded 13 years ago in Rapid City by a Rapid City group. Its companion song about CCCS was first sung by the same group, also in Rapid City. It was a bit of self deprecation to atone for the vulgarity of CCCS. I was never offended at being called RC

Re: BracketBuster

Just for the record, the Jacks pi@@ pounded Wyoming the last time we played, in '09, and they haven't scheduled us since.

Courtesy: South Dakota State University http://www.gojacks.com/ LARAMIE, Wy. - Clint Sargent drained all five of his shots from beyond the three-point arc in the first half and the South Dakota State men's basketball team never looked back in a convincing 77-61 win on Friday against Wyoming in Laramie, Wy. "They kind let Clint get going and he's tough to stop when he gets going," said SDSU head coach Scott Nagy after the game. Sargent finished with 18 points to lead the Jackrabbits, who opened the season with a win over a Division I opponent for the first time in the Division I era. Wyoming Falls to 0-1. Kai Williams added 17 points off the bench and Garrett Callahan added 11 points to round out the double-digit scorers for the Jacks.

Yep, remember listening to the game on the way to Minneapolis for the Jacks vs Gophers football game. Jacks played well that night. I don't recall how that Wyoming team finished the year.

The 09-10 Cowboy team finished dead last in MWC. Overall 9-21.

Were you the one who posted this on their chat board? "Sout Dakotuns choke rabbits because they are too poor to buy shotgun shells."
I'm beginning to think this whole thing is made up for chat boards and you are the one who made it up.

Whats Wright about Wright Wyoming. Is it next door to Ten Sheep?

Tensleep is a long 150 miles, over a mountain and down a gorgeous canyon. What is right about Wright is that my l'il girl still holds FT record (B&G) going on 5th year. Of course she had good instruction at 5:00 am. She paid attention to B-E-E-F

Thanks I was just have a little fun with Wyoming towns, sort of like Rabbit choker. I never heard that term either. I will take it as a compliement, though. Until a couple of weeks ago, I thought that Ten Sleep was really Ten Sheep. Funny how we can read something several times and not get it right.

Re: BracketBuster

I'm the "other" Wyo-Murray State guy. I'm the opposite of cowboyracer43 in that I grew up in Wyoming, went to UW and then grad school in Colorado before ending up at Murray State. Oh, I never heard of "rabbit chokers" before a few days ago either, but I wasn't from the eastern part of the state.

Hopefully we'll give you Jackrabbits the same atmosphere that we had last night for the Belmont game--the student section was on fire and hopefully the cafeteria will serve them the same meal again I don't think the BracketBuster game will be a sellout like last year vs St. Mary's, but I think there will still be a big crowd. ESPN will play up Canaan vs Wolters, but Ed Daniel (the forward with the big afro) is a very good player and for Murray's sake we hope Stacy Wilson & Dexter Fields shoot like they did last night or early in the season rather than what we had seen for most of the conference season. Murray this year has tended to play up or down to the level of competition. You guys might remember forward Latreze Mushatt-he played a couple of years for UMKC before transferring to Murray. He's not 100%-torn an Achilles in the summer but has managed to be able to comeback for the end of his senior season and give us our only non-freshman player off the bench. He's a heady player that gives us some boards and defense and can score some as well. Besides him, the bench is freshmen.

Who should we be looking for besides Nate? How'd he score 53 last night-did the other team not bother to try to shut him down or was he just "en fuego"? Our conference opponents try to absolutely smother Isaiah and dare the other guys to beat them. Canaan has a huge burden as our primary ball-handler and scorer.
