Big Win for USD

Re: Big Win for USD

Jacks beat Missouri-Rolla 49-0 in 1972. For various odd reasons, I remember the game (it was the 2nd SDSU football game I attended).

I wasn't picking a fight - I just wanted to remind Jacks fans to be careful when throwing stones at glass houses. (Oh My God! I'm becoming a Cyote apologist! J/K) I also needed to refresh my memory! Go Big! Go Blue!! Go Jacks!!!

Understood, MaddogJack. I didn't mean to imply anything...was just remembering the game from 1972 (people should wonder why the heck someone would remember a game from 1972!).

Ear muffs kids! I assume you remembered this date and score because this was the first time you got laid! Perhaps I am wrong.

Very very classy 2002Jack. I am now understanding why there is such grave concern regarding the behavior at games by USD fans. SDSU fans don't...............oh wait, nevermind.

Nope. Nothing at all like that 2002Jack. Has to do with writing the "Bum", the game-day program and studying up on Missouri-Rolla. Pretty innocent stuff. (Going to have to go with my friend yoteforever on this one.) [Edit: Well, let's scale that back a bit to begrudgingly acknowledging, but only momentarily, the basis for yoteforever's jab. ]

You have put your finger on the whole problem with those who were desperate to ignite the "rivalry" nonsense. SDSU fans do. Because USD fans do. Because SDSU fans do. Because (lather, rinse, repeat). Because they're people. And that's how people behave.

I think there was a significant segment of the SDSU fandom who were not eager to re-start the USD rivalry--not so much because of what USD fans would or wouldn't do, but what we knew it would bring out in our own fellow SDSU fans. It was kind of nice for those few years for some of us to not have to restrain (too much, anyway) or apologize for our own collection of jerks and a-holes. For some though, this was "being afraid to play USD" or some such juvenile nonsense.

It's why over the course of each school year, there are always several moments where I seriously consider shutting down this smack section. But then I realize if I did that, the natural and universal human urge to be jerks would just spill over into the rest of the site (more than it already does, that is). So I keep the Smack section open, and try to more or less gently shepherd people's less adult blatherings hither.

Renewal of rivalry= Increased gate receipts.

Re: Big Win for USD

Filbert, one consolation. Our smack is usually not as personal or profane as the chatter on the football string of the forum of a certain campus up north. Even when they win.
But I worry: Is this observation about our smack in and of itself smack? Will it invite invective from North and South?

Re: Big Win for USD

Y'all are being so nice in this smack thread. Feels weird.

Go Yotes.
Hate State.

I feel better now.

I believe the term for smack about smack would be "meta-smack."
