Seriously, you believe every post over on the SDSU board? You are a fool. I am likely a fool, but not because of any unfounded belief in what I read on the bunny board. I believe very little of what I read on that site and I only refer to comments made there when it serves my purpose. Also, one question - how many Jacks fans does it take to change a light bulb. Answer is 2, one to change the bulb & one to remind you they went D1 before the Yotes. That is some funny stuff!!!! Who can blame them though.....they have waited for over a hundred years to be the first in something!

No, we aren't without sin, but for the last decade, SDSU fans have acted like they are without sin....Beat State, not your wife shirts...love how that was offensive but the actual act that caused it was not. Okay, I'll take the bait: Who said the act was not? Everyone who defended the decision to keep him! I thought the last thing I would ever do is remind jack fans that this is a smack thread! However, I do understand the natural expectation one would have to elevate the conversion on the USD forum ;D I upgraded my Dish package yesterday. Looking forward to watching the SD and NDSU games on the BTN this Saturday! Go Yotes!

1) Activity alone?.....no....but the content of that activity speaks volumes. I'll take your word for it that you've never drawn a connection between board activity and fan status. I'll accept your statements as genuine. I've got better things to do than scroll through all of your statements regarding fan/forum/chat participation. Besides I'm quite sure your authenticity is equaled regardless of which forum you visit. Frankly, I'm not thrilled with the level of activity on the SD board but I sure am proud of the content it lacks! "Keep it classy SD"....Ron Burgundy 2) I'm assuming your claim that SDSU will not develop fan interest is not want you meant. What you meant....I can only assume....is that SDSU would never develop fan interest buy putting billboards any closer than 20 miles of Vermillion and making sure that those billboards will not include (reference) a game with an in-state institution. I conclude these stipulations based on the advertising efforts of State in the Vermillion area. So to recap...the mea culpa of SD leadership is violating the 20 mile "classy" zone and including an in-state institution on it's advertisement. By all means I can now see the line has been crossed.....pandora's box has been opened, only inviting the ugliness of old You do see how ridiculous this is?....Please! Please don't waste another second of your time or energy into making the whole billboard-gate into some tide-turning event! I've seen that many-o-jack have taken it for exactly what it is....great advertisement! Nothing more....nothing less! Tough game with Cal Poly...I imagine SD will be facing similar difficulties next year at the QB position, as well as various other positions, after graduation robs us of some great players!

14 + pages on the bunny board says otherwise! Not opinion....just fact! Now, think about that. Does activity (or lack of activity) on a fan message board say anything more than the personal opinions/comments/attempts to be funny of the individual writers? If you answer that "yes", then think about the relative lack of participation on the USD board: you must conclude that there is no interest in USD athletics. [That's not my contention -- that's what your reasoning leads to.] The purpose for the billboard was stated by USD officials. I take them at their word. Their word supports the opinion expressed above by jacccks as well as several USD partisans: USD is trying to stir the pot and develop some fan interest. Nothing wrong with that, I suppose. I'm confident SDSU, as an institution, would not do the same and I think most SDSU fans appreciate that. Therein lies a difference that you don't understand and I think never will. There's just a difference.Oh...the difference is quite obvious......I think we can agree as much. However, for reasons other than those that you put forward. I believe your bolded statement makes this crystal clear. Your attempt at drawing a false equivalency between being "irrelevant" and developing fan interest is disingenuous at best and at worst enforces the obvious difference with which I mentioned. Developing fan interest does not equal being irrelevant. Just to be clear Hope you were able to find the SD broadcast and good luck to the Jacks at Cal Poly!

My opinion on a board 14 months out, it is a desperate attempt by the USD athletic dept to try and make themselves relevant. 14 + pages on the bunny board says otherwise! Not opinion....just fact!

I have never been around more whiners and babies than 75% of the people that post on the SDSU fan board. The ones I am referring to are the most two faced fans I have ever encountered. There are some really good fans and knowledgable but for the most part they live in their own world. I think the billboard campaign is funny as hell, and other than a couple of them, all they do is whine about it. Holy crap, how can you ever have a rivalry with a fan base that is so egotistical? As I noted, there are some that are good fans, but 3 out of 4 of them are not in touch with anything. Just venting here. I couldn't agree more! They epitomize everything they claim to hate about SD......they're the best example of projection that I've seen in a while! Some....not all of course

State fans don't get it, not suprised. We're not advertising for your home game, we're sending a message. Some people in this state are under the faulty perception that SDSU is somehow greater than USD, even after some highly publicized big wins the likes that SDSU has not been able to duplicate. This billboard is sending the message that we are equals, we aren't backing down, in fact, we're coming right for ya. A friend who has no allegiance to either school commented that the message was USD was still chasing SDSU ... a little like the old Avis slogan "We try harder" because it was always #2 in the car-rental business. I think the overwhelming number of SDSU fans who take any time to think about the billboard appreciate the jab given in a humorous way and are not in the least offended. South Dakota will continue to chase State as long as they keep running away.

And yes Bison and Jack fans, we royally screwed up by not going D-1 at the same time you did. I couldn't disagree more. We would not have experienced this level of success had we gone D-I when the XDSU's did. At the time USD did not have the organization, policy, finance and leadership in place to make a successful transition. I know many assume we could have achieved the same level of success back then but it simply is not true. The way I see it...USD had no choice but to stay DII until the ducks were put in a row. Being a supporter of the D-I move I'm very grateful that the move was not made earlier.
