'08-'09 Schedule

[NorCalJack]

I'm not sure when the '08-'09 schedule will be released, but if anyone has any information as to who will be on the non-conference schedule post them here.

According to this article we will be playing the Gophers again this year on December 9th.

December kicks off with home games on Dec. 1 against St. Mary’s (Calif.), on Dec. 4 versus Boston College in the ACC/Big Ten Challenge tilt and a Dec. 9 meeting with South Dakota State. The Gophers wrap up their non-conference schedule on Dec. 21 at Iowa State.

I know we are playing in Cancun and I thought I heard that Oregon will play in Brookings this year. If you have any other info regarding next years schedule, post it here.

Go Jacks!!!
Go State!!!

I'd LOVE to SEE 9-2 (D-I only) out of that schedule. Every one of the home games should be possible, if not likely. I'd say that Maryland and Gonzaga appear to be the most likely to get tagged for a loss. Cancun should be an AMAZING trio of games as all are likely to be conference champs, or in the tourney. I am hoping that we'll be better early this year, as we have GREAT RPI opponents.

That is an impressive schedule, I don't care where you play!

I still can't believe I won the silent auction of 2 courtside tickets at the Stan for my pick of Oregon, Utah or Wisconsin for $40. Would've paid $100 easy. I'd actually pay $40 for two just to get into Frost for these games!

Go Jacks!!

Re: '08-'09 Schedule

I love the "we'll play anyone" approach. This is how you measure yourself against good programs. The SDSU women's program gets it that if you want to be the best you have to play and expect the best.

The Maryland game will be very winnable. Maryland lost two starters who were first round draft picks in the WNBA not to mention Jade Perry and Ashleigh Newman. They still have Marissa Coleman and Kristi Toliver (hero from 2006 championship year). Also, Sade' Wiley-Gatewood redshirted this year, if anyone remembers she started at Tennessee in 2006 when they were #1 in the nation before transferring to Maryland midseason. They also have Marah Strickland who started as a freshman.

The Terps had to battle to get past Coppin State in the first round of the NCAA tournament and pulled away late in a tight contest against Nebraska in the second round. I really think SDSU women can beat Maryland. Maryland will be voted as a top ten team this season because they have two All-American candidates returning and have had recent success.

Re: '08-'09 Schedule

Wow, that's seven great games at Frost prior to Christmas. Makes me a little envious for you folks living near Brookings. I believe we will know an often lot about this team by then too.

Re: '08-'09 Schedule

A schedule like that also will attract recruits to SDSU. What player wouldn't want to play a schedule like that? Great job putting that schedule together.

Yes, BCS conference school's OOC's aren't any stronger than this. Jacks run into this with another 22+ win season, and NCAA tourney, SDSU will be locked and loaded to be the WBB of the Summit like Oral Roberts rules baseball.

Hopefully both football and women's basketball will be post season dancing this year.

Re: '08-'09 Schedule

Time to book a room in Sioux Falls for March 7-10th. Looking forward to seeing the men's schedule and then planning for some trips to Brookings this winter.

Re: '08-'09 Schedule

I like how Wisconsin, Utah and Oregon are coming here. I don't see us dropping the Gophers but I like to see them have enough courage to come here. I think Minnesota thinks they are better than SDSU & NDSU so they won't go on the road against those teams. Or are they just scared in some sports? They could lose some recruits losing at home but they might lose more playing here.
It's a great schedule. I like how our women's team can take on all these "big dogs" and have a reasonable chance of winning.

Re: '08-'09 Schedule

Nebraska seems to be the same way. I think they canceled a return trip to Brookings a couple of years ago.

[JackJD]

Re: '08-'09 Schedule

Going from memory, after SDSU ended Nebraska's home-opener win-streak at 24 games, I think Nebraska cancelled (bought its way out of) the next year's game at Nebraska. I don't think Nebraska had promised to come to SDSU.
