            %$$#()(####%%%% liberal. That is the positive side to it, and it a good cause. Maybe next year we will win it.

              I appreciate the Corn Growers for sponsoring this annual competition. However, the scoring system needs to be adjusted. The Jacks get no points for fielding a baseball team and advancing to the conference tourney, for example. Competition for the Corn Cup should not just cover sports that USD offers. That's not right.

                Oh ****, who cares? I guess you. It raises money for hungry kids and both schools agreed to the terms. Congrats to USD! The Jacks need to improve their softball and volleyball teams.

                  I posted this on the wrong thread earlier today. With today's conference championship by the men's golf team, the Jackrabbits have clinched the cup this year. The current score is 12 to 6. Even if the Jackrabbits get no more points, but they will, the best possible score for the coyote's would be a tie at 12 to 12. We own the tie breaker. Congratulations to all of the Jackrabbits for another great year.

                      The Corn Showdown indicates the "showdown" was started in the 2012-13 school year.

                      Are some posters saying USD won it last year? I don't recall that. (I thought SDSU has won it every year but I don't know if that is correct. My opinion about the showdown remains unchanged: who gives a rat's $%@#?)

                      The corn showdown site does not appear to include past results. http://www.sdcornshowdown.com/

                        Scroll down on the news section. USD won last year 14-13. http://www.sdcornshowdown.com/news/

                          Thanks. I'll take your word for it. Just a dumb 'competition' in my view.

                            USD did win. It's going to happen. We are at a slight disadvantage in general to the series (the series is more a SD Corn and fundraising promotion than a true competition IMO) because of the substantial more about of sports we offer and scholarships we have. What I mean by this is that the sports picked for the competition obviously SDSU and USD must both have. Therefore, we essentially agree to use some sports where we are not as fully funded from a scholarship perspective than USD.

                            An example that may be wrong is I would assume they would have more men's golf scholarships as we have baseball and those additional scholarships to fund and still be in compliance with Title IX which reduces scholarship counts in other non-revenue sports.

                              It's great we won the showdown and all, but I'm more excited about the FCS Playoff appearance and the men's and women's NCAA Tourney appearances.

                              National success trumps beating up on your little brother.

                                I going on memory and past observations but we must have at least six endowment scholarships for golf, and some probably only give $1000 toward tuition annually, but of all the sports I think golf is seems to have its shares of endowment funds. Trying to drop golf would not be an easy task for our trusted AD Justin Sells. Its shame that USD does no longer have baseball. They would have a chance to pick up point this year.
