Proud that South Dakota produces not only elite athletes but elite scholar-athletes and great people as well. Here's to your future, Chris. It's a bright won...no doubt! Thanks for all you have given to the community of Vermillion, the University, and the State of South Dakota! You have represented us all very well!

Great job Chris.

Don't miss class, ask questions, turn in assignments on time. Hit the books instead of hitting the bars.

Being a true Student-Athlete has it's rewards.

Congrats Chris.

Well done Yote!

Great honor for Ganious, his team and teammates, and for your program. Having athletes get their name in the paper for academics tends to quiet down the nitwits who look for opportunities to rip at college athletics for any reason. Good to read about it.

Nice feature story in today's (11/26/11) Argus Leader by Mick Garry on Chris Ganious.

We can all be very proud of how Chris has represented South Dakota. Here is the link to the website from last nights live presentation:

I missed seeing Chris's live video presentation by about 5 minutes. Judging from the other video introductions it would have been awesome to see South Dakota football represented at the New York Waldorf-Astoria Hotel.

Once again congrats Chris!
