It is tougher for the casual fan to come out on a cold day and sit in the stands for sure. If USD had an outdoor stadium and was playing today, I would be there, but I doubt my wife and kids would be and my parents would just be too old to sit outside in this cold for a full game and would probably opt to watch on tv (as much as they would want to be there). I do think SDSU works hard to get their fans there and will predict 7-8 k there. I think this one will be close for about a half, but get out of hand eventually with SDSU winning by 20. 31-10 sounds about right to me.

This could be a tough one. As of right now, there are over 130 tickets left (out of ~550) on the 50 yard line on the home side. As you would guess, the sections on the 40's are even worse.

4000 seems to be a pretty good estimate as far as the attendance but definitely no more than 6000. If this were the Coyotes and they were playing at old Inman Field I am pretty sure they wouldn't out draw what SDSU has today. The only reason they might would be because the Coyotes are not used to this and haven't had a home playoff game since the 80's.
I suspect the Jacks will give James Madison all they can handle. The Jacks play as well as anyone on the road. You will not see much of a difference in their play home vs road. They have been this way for quite a few years actually. They don't have the type of home field advantage that the Coyotes do. The dome for football probably makes the Coyotes appear better than they are just as Frost has traditionally made Jacks basketball appear better than they are.
It would be intriguing to see how many Rabbit fans would be in Frisco but I don't want them to be that much closer to a championship so I will be severely cheering for the Dukes next week. I am about 90% certain that NDSU is going to be there. I think it is maybe 55-45 that James Madison will join them but the Jacks have more than a punchers chance.

Final score: 0 ( the total number of team cramps for SDSU ) I would rather the roles were reversed and the Coyotes be in the semi's with the team being accused of faking cramps then always ending up being the victim and being out in the round of 16. Just the way it is. The cramp faking may be lame but it isn't against the rules.

Just the way it is. The cramp faking may be lame but it isn't against the rules. Actually it is against the rules to delay the game. Hard for the officials to prove when apparently the medical staff and coaching staff is pretending along with the offending/faking player. It is also unethical.

It is irrelevant because the Jacks are in the semi's and the Coyotes are not. South Dakota does not view the Jacks or Stig as a dirty program. the cramp faking will be forgotten about but the Jacks run likely will not and for sure will not if they can manage to win the next two games.

What is relevant is you said there is no rule against it. There is and perhaps it is not important to you, but ethics do matter. Yes I wish the Yotes were still playing.

I can only read his replies when he quotes but I can only imagine the tough talk. If it comes down to ethics, I'd rather be out and win it next year then still be in it and have no ethics.
But to remind everyone, it was posted in SMACK. Meant to be a funny

Forgive me for being wrong and I messed up on that but I don't believe I have ever heard of it being called because of the difficulty of proving it. I really don't care whether the Jacks were bending the rules or not. What I care about is that the Jacks are once again the talk of the state and the Coyotes are not. When have we not seen that before. Other than a few bitter Coyotes fans I don't hear anyone else talking about it any more and it takes nothing away from the Jacks getting to the final 4. If they make the national title game I can't think of one thing in the history of Coyote football that the Coyotes have done that trumps what the Jacks have done. In history the national title game advantage that the Coyotes had has almost been equaled and at a higher level.

I have Yoteforever on ignore and I hit display post every time. That is what the two of us have in common. YF won't admit it but I am pretty sure that is what he does.

CF, with all due respect, you are really bad at talking smack. If you want to create a thread called "debate the merits of the Jacks' amazing accomplishments" then feel free. That's not really what this thread is about.

CF is wrong. No USD fan is going to forget "Crampgate". USD fans need a coping mechanism when it comes to consistently losing to the Jacks so the cramps will act as just that. I could care less about cramp gate. I care about the decades of losing to them and this year was just another in the long line of L's that have been stacking up. When does it become a requirement to beat them because it hasn't been so far. Instead of blaming the loss on what the Jacks did, why not look from within and ask why the Coyotes continue to come up short in the crucial moments of football games. If the football team used the same excuse of the cramp gate as the reason for the loss then they will not take the necessary steps to try to correct their wrong doings in the game.
