    Senator Heidepriem is circulating a bill to require SDSU and USD to play each other in football and basketball. Look for it to be filed in the next few days.

    Awesome...i'm guessing they'll propose the gate proceeds will go to help the state's fledgling budget. What a fu**ing joke this is if it does get filed.

      Well, here's the link to his website if anyone is interested in dropping him a line. According to his bio he is a USD grad and originally from Miller. Don't we have some members of the "Miller Mafia" on the board?

          Meh - election's over. He can ignore that one. Here are some other avenues to take...

          Email: http://legis.state.sd.us/email/Legis...px?MemberID=40

          Business phone: 605-338-4304

          Business fax: 605-338-4162

          That's where I'm sure he expects to hear from his caring constituents

          Enjoy





          *don't understand why, but his home phone is also listed on that web page. not gonna list it and say that it would be bad to call at home... just in case SDSU has any lakes-type of fans

            Yes he is from Miller not proud of that right now though.

            A bill like this is pure ignorance that is all there is to it.

              Just sent Scott my thoughts. Not real proud of the Miller connection there either.

                Sent him a message as well. Not in my district but I've supported him in other ways in the past. Not the business of the legislature.

                  Maybe if he hears from of his supporters they will back off.

                        This makes me feel ill. Also it pisses me off. I will leave it at that, until I read the legislation to see what he is trying to pass.

                            Sometimes during the session, bills that won't go anywhere are circulated just to make a point. This one hasn't even been introduced. Even if it's introduced, there's a good chance it'll go nowhere. One thing I learned covering the Legislature is not to get too worked up over anything until it's farther along in the process. It's better to wait and see what happens, keep your powder dry, and if the time comes where alumni and fan input is needed, deliver that input in a dispassionate and orderly (but overwhelming) way.

                            It's way too soon to let this thing get under your skin.

                              Good advice here.

                              I'm not sure anybody in a position to influence the decision has said anything definitive about SDSU and USD playing or not playing again. My own gut feeling is that basketball will resume as early as next season, definitely within the next three years. Football is subject to schedule openings, and isn't likely to resume for another three to five years. That's my own personal feeling, based on nothing but my own observation of where things are at.

                              Legislation at this point is not only inappropriate but unnecessary and premature, IMHO.

                              I'm still a big advocate for my favorite basketball solution--an SDSU-USD basketball event in Sioux Falls, associated with a D-I tournament (maybe a combined men's-women's D-I tournament) over the Thanksgiving or Christmas holiday periods. Anybody in the Sioux Empire willing to run with this to the SF city fathers?
