The Jacks are going to be mad after their loss to ORU, so you better be ready. Remember what they did to Washington after losing to UND.   |

You know what? I don't care that State is better on paper right now. This is SDSU/USD. I hope our guys understand what the hell that means.
My biggest fear is without doubt "surviving" the first half and what should be a raucous crowd. If we are within 10 with 10 to go, then it's anyone's game.

I would think the Jacks should be mad at themselves for quitting at ORU. Of course it is not the first time we have seen this since they do it on the road at Oakland also. They have the athletes to match up just fine with ORU and simply layed down in that game. I have no doubt they will roll USD as they are more talented but that program has bigger issues. Defensive effort is nothing but desire and you only see that out of SDSU about half the time when it counts.

Even with the loss to Oral Roberts, I have to give a big edge to SDSU. I know it's a rivalry game, but USD has really only played one good conference game this year and it was against UMKC, not a powerhouse by any means. SDSU is playing at a different level and I have no idea how USD will contain Nate Wolters. Jordan Dykstra can hopefully be guarded by Gruis, but he has been foul prone right now. I am realistic going into this game and I would be surprised if its within double-digits.

Maybe this game is exactly what USD needs to jumpstart them and get a little fight out of them.

Lets hope that we work on sdsu weak points and use them to our advantage. I am not real well versed on all the basketball in and outs, but sdsu has Wolters who is going to get his points, but maybe we can just slow him down a little but not put ourselves in foul trouble doing it. Dykstra will be a none event as his mental game will not handle the extra pressure of a big rivalry game and take himself out. Sdsu is week on rebounding so hopefully we will play man and box out and take advantage of that. If we play man and take the open shots away from other players like White and Carlson there is no reason we cant win this game. Go yotes, PLAY HARD, take it to them and win!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

"Well team we have to be realistic with this one, I am really hoping that we can simply stay within double digits of this team" Realistic is going in with the attitude of winning and realistic is that there is a chance for a win. The Jacks are good but they also have lost to the likes of North Dakota by 19 points. Of course SDSU should be favored but that doesn't mean that USD can't win the game. Good grief #1 give the Yotes a chance. Do you even watch or listen to the games or do you just comment from out of the blue. |

They lost to ND by 19 but did you forget they beat ND by 38, 5 days before that and also beat Montana. Montana is unbeaten in the Big Sky. Did you also forget the Jacks be Wash by 19? I guess those games dont matter. Youre just lookin to start another feud with #1. I read somewhere the Jacks are favored by 16. Looks like #1 knows what he is talking about. |

Funny, you are coming to the defense of the poor and helpless. I guess it takes one to know one. I am of the demanding and high expectation group (which is small or simply non existant) USD better go into that game thinking they are going to win it. I said the Jacks should be favored and they have some good wins but they aren't unbeatable. Which kind of Coyote Fan is everyone else The realistic fan that basically just assumes the Coyote will lose and won't be bothered by it if they do The realistic fan that knows the Yotes will be up for a big challenge but one that expects that the team to go into Frost with the expectation to come out of there with a win. If the Coyotes go in their expecting a win it might happen. If the Coyotes go in there really not expecting to win they definately won't win. Reality is anything can happen. If one doesn't think they can win than they make their own reality. |

Good grief #1 give the Yotes a chance. Do you even watch or listen to the games or do you just comment from out of the blue. I am not paid to be the coach, I am paid to be a reporter and report the facts. Those are the facts, plain and simple. That's why upsets, exist, too, and honestly if USD beat SDSU, it would be an upset. Take a look at The Summit standings that you have been preaching about, or any standings you preach about. You get on the football team and say you just don't think they are going to win this and that game and you get on me for this? Hypercritical if you ask me. Hopefully the coyotes prove me wrong, but right now it would take a lot for USD to stay in the game with the way they have played this year. |

I am bothered by almost every loss USD has had this season, especially with this group they should be well above the standings than what they are. You are confusing realistic chances with expectations right now. My expectation is this team should be at least middle of the pack in The Summit with the roster they have. My wish is that they could be top of The Summit, but in Grumpy Old Man as they said, you can wish in the one hand and crap in the other and see which one gets filled first. |

That article is great!
Attending this game would be fun at any age even if both teams are terrible.
I hope our students grab onto this and that it will lead to more support to home bball games.

Hopefully nothing gets tossed on the floor during the games at Brookings or Vermillion. Why subject your team to a technical foul and give the opponent an opportunity to put points on the board?
The other stuff - chants, t-shirts, etc - I hope students remember there is a difference betweeen clever and vulgar, but if it doesn't, I guess I won't get real worked up about it as long as it doesn't clearly cross the line. (Rule of thumb- If you have to ask, does this cross the line, it probably does.)
Oh by the way - "Hate State"
