Re: GDT: Jackrabbits vs Coyotes The Corn Showdown continues

The Summit League schedule is created in May/June time frame. Most non conference schedules aren't completed until September.

Yep. Discussion of schedules (amongst other issues) will take place at Summit League Tournament in March, schedules created in May/June (as stated by yoteforever) and then released in July. I would assume Sell, Herbster and Larson will bring this issue to the table in March.

In the NCC they did set them up in advance for several years, the former AD told me that, but with Summit it is a new ball game. I would think the presidents vote on the schedule at the annual meeting that they have like in Sioux Falls, but they probably have other meetings too.
I would think the board minutes are somewhere on the SL official site. If fans had access, then we could answer this question. I just dont think its a bias against SDSU.

The website has a login and not being authorized, we can not really get an answer.

So I guess we agree to disagree. Except the NCC is not the Summit and that we could possibly agree.

Sorry will disagree with you. Conference schedules are developed 6-9 months before the season, definitely not 10 years out.

Re: GDT: Jackrabbits vs Coyotes The Corn Showdown continues

True but when we joined, we got this schedule in which we start and finish with NDSU. I suspect that new members are added to an existing schedule. My guess is that they dont start over to accommodate rivalry games.

SDSU wasn't even in the Summit League ten years ago.

I know it does not seem right for the SL to do this to us, but I have been told that conference schedules are put together ten years or more in advance.

2500+ today, 2800+ wed night. Id say we missed out on another 3000+ fans because the Summit League doesnt get it. Anyone have an email address i can bitch to?

I know it does not seem right for the SL to do this to us, but I have been told that conference schedules are put together ten years or more in advance. They attempt to make it fair for every conference member. Why does SDSU VS NDSU and SDSU VS USD always come the first week of the conference? I dont have an answer. I guess it could be that we start the schedule against the two Indiana schools on the road, and might be ideal, but not this year. We might be in a down year anyway, and with out a good product, it's a task to get a packed house.

The Northern Sun pulled the same thing putting USF vs Augie games tonight.

Re: GDT: Jackrabbits vs Coyotes The Corn Showdown continues

I didn't know Nieman played. I do see him in old videos from our party house, but never met the guy as I recall.

Any win over USD is a good win. Wish I'd been there.

Re: GDT: Jackrabbits vs Coyotes The Corn Showdown continues

Um... didn't Tom Nieman play basketball for SDSU?

Yes he did. He rode the pine mostly under Jim Thorson and a loyal alum.

Re: GDT: Jackrabbits vs Coyotes The Corn Showdown continues

Brad Newitt seems to have a propensity to frame calls in the Jacks' favor as "too close to call" or plays that "could've gone either way" and is also generally good for pointing out at least one missed call per half that the Jacks "got away with."

If your assertion is that Tom Nieman is as biased, we'll have to agree to disagree.

If you watched the women's game on Midco, I can think of at least one specific example where Elsen questioned the legitimacy of a call against the 'Yotes, but Kelly Stewart said the refs made the right call. If Brad could be more like Kelly, he'd be much more tolerable.

The first time I heard or saw this guy, I wondered what his connection was to USED and doing a google I found out. Yes Tom is hopelessly biased towards SDSU. That's okay if you are part of Jackrabbit Corner, the program he hosts on a weekly basis.
