The Gophers Game Aftermath

[Coyote Fan]

I have been doing an awful lot of reading, listening and watching to relive Saturdays historic game. I will post some links to some interesting discussion.

This link is from the Star and Tribune Newspaper in Minneapolis with plenty of coverage from the Minnesota perspective about the game. The sky is definately falling in Gopher Nation.

The next link is of probably the biggest message board for U or Minnesota Athletics. This is the football forum and the discussion regarding the USD game both pre and post game is very interesting. They went from "we are going to beat them by 40" to "how long until Brewster is gone".

This next one is a good listen. A very interesting take from Darren "Doogie" Wolfson from a radio station in the Twin Cities. This will lead you to the audio link. Just click on Gophers towards the top and it will take you to Doogies big rant. R.J. Patteson is a call in on the show to talk about the game.

This link is from KFAN Rubechat. They have active boards and discuss the game in the College Football area. There is quite a bit of discussion regarding the game here too. If you like the Twin Cities sports scene this is a good place to get your fix.

This link is of the NDSU big board as they are talking about the game because the teams square off on September 25th. Most were thinking NDSU big but ever since USD's big win the tune is starting to change to it being a competitive game. Of couse some wouldn't take the USD game seriously if they had just come off beating the Minnesota Vikings.

The Any Given Saturday board is a good place to discuss FCS football in general. A little bit thin on USD fans but a good place to read and there is also talk on the USD-Minnesota game. The game on the general board might be a few pages down by now. The Great West is a nice sub discussion group when people post but isn't as active as it should be especially with USD fans.

Congratulations from this Sioux fan (and Sioux alum as well as being a Minnesota resident and longtime Gopher follower dating back to the 1950s). Perhaps the Great West Conference as it is now constituted will receive a little more respect from its former doubters. I had mixed feelings watching the game Saturday in the Twin Cities. Nevertheless, I think the victory by the Yotes can't but help the Sioux more than the Gophers. Yotes really have a potent offense. The win for the Yotes was as impressive as the Bison win a week earlier over the KU Jayhawks.

The Aberdeen paper typically doesn't cover Coyote sports, but this was a big enough event for them to notice:

I love this quote:

''I will remember when it was over, turning to that group of Coyote fans in the second deck and seeing them pouring down to get to the sidelines,'' he said. ''I had my son at my side, my wife was trying to get on the field - the Coyote faithful were absolutely ecstatic. If the National Guard wasn't at the stadium we'd all still be there.''

I read Phil Miller's article in the Star Trib after the game in which he wrote "The University of South Dakota plays in something called the Great West." As if to insinuate the Great West is some piece of garbage or some unidentified stain on your living room carpet. That something Phil is a football conference which has made a damn good showing of itself in the last 7 to 8 years thanks in large part to all four Dakota schools. That conference is having a good year in 2010 as well. I now consider Phil's reporting to be something the Trib uses to fill space. Scoreboard Phil...scoreboard. Go Yotes!
