You're right, I mean they are so apart, there is no way they could ever be ranked similarly. Except for US News. Who has both schools ranked identically. And has the SDSU engineering doctoral program ranked higher nationally than your wildly prestigious medical program. Or how according to Princetonreview.com shows that we have nearly identical rates of acceptance (usd has a whopping 3% lead for selectivity of 89% accepted compared to 92%) and that both schools average student comes in with a 3.37 gpa. What a large gap. More fun: The Princeton Review only ranks off of surveys from students, so I'm not sure how much horn tooting you should be doing about it in the first place? Also, the likely reason for usd being selected is because of the law and medical schools being located there, not because of how wonderful it is compared to SDSU or how elite it is. I'm on my phone I'm not gonna look at that now, but what kid of ranking has an engineering degree up against a medical degree? I'm not going to argue about admission rates unless it's for advanced degrees - undergrad at a public school should be highly accessible. Good to know SDSU's students don't think highly enough of their school to make a national publication. No, I was comparing national rankings. The usd med school is 240 in the nation and the SDSU engineering was 181 or so.

1) yeah, and we should probably spot the #1 seed a 10 point advantage before tip off, and make sure they have play dough and coloring books so they feel comfortable, maybe some puppies. Oh and let's just have the tourney in Alaska, because we don't want to give teams that have fans who will actually support their team to cheer too loud and give an unfair advantage. What a joke you are. 2) How do people measure college bball teams, is it conference regular season titles or tournament appearances? It's the latter, I'll help you all out. When talking about another team you always hear "they were a tournament team last year", so yea, SDSU has been the better team. The crybaby argument being used by Yote fans of we should have been in but we lost in the tourney is the same as an SDSU fan crying that we shouldn't have had a lowere seed than NDSU because we won the head to head in conference and got the conference autobid. As to the attendance smack, y'all can try that weak sauce but when we average 150% of the Dumps capacity during the regular season AND you have NEVER HAD A WINNING SEASON SINCE JOINING THE MVFC, maybe keep your yappers quiet on that one for a while. Every year y'all get USeD and abUSeD. Rabbit (t)HUMPER You obviously share a common trait with many rabbit fans and that is a lack of logic. I am fully aware of the reasons that tourney's are setup and auto births are given as a result. I just don't agree with it from a competitive stand point. You cannot look in a mirror and honestly convince yourself that a single weekend tournament is a better judge of the more deserving team than a regular season champion. That is 18 games vs 3 games. The birth shouldn't be based on how a team may match up with another particular team it should be based on how a team does against all the teams in the conference where half the games played are actual road games. Honestly the Rabbit Women would probably have faired well on a truly neutral sight but I am fairly confident that you could reduce the men's team tourney bids by 2 if they don't have Sioux Falls to fall back on. I am all in favor of a tourney having some significance at the end of the year but don't do it at the expense of the more deserving team. Let the tourney winners have a play in game or two to make it to the real NCAA tourney. I can sympathize with some of your points, but there are a few things that will be difficult to ignore and this article might give some insight to the conference tourney as a staple to the season's end. www.thesummitleague.org/sports/mbkb/2016-17/releases/20161214g3xqkx

I worked in the health field for many years and part of my work dealt with the USD School of Medicine. For many years (and I have no reason to see it has changed recently) the school was ranked at or near the top of ALL medical schools in the country for producing family physicians. Family physicians are the mainstay doctors for rural America, which is what South Dakota depends on.
By the way, didn't a Mr. Zack Zenner (sorry if I misspell) apply to the USD med school and get accepted? Guess that B.A. or BS from State College (SDSUcks) wasn't good enough.
You haven't got my dander up, Thumper, but you are starting to annoy me.

That doesn't have anything to do with my argument. I know money rules the world and that is no surprise. I hate when money gets in the way of the general fairness of competition but that is just how it is. My point is that I would like to see the regular season champ get rewarded like they should be.

Ummm... that was extremely difficult to watch. And the point of making that video was...? That video getting out may actually help the Yotes in recruiting. What high school kid is gonna watch that and think, "OMG! I can't wait to get up there and do that with the football team!"

I worked in the health field for many years and part of my work dealt with the USD School of Medicine. For many years (and I have no reason to see it has changed recently) the school was ranked at or near the top of ALL medical schools in the country for producing family physicians. Family physicians are the mainstay doctors for rural America, which is what South Dakota depends on. By the way, didn't a Mr. Zack Zenner (sorry if I misspell) apply to the USD med school and get accepted? Guess that B.A. or BS from State College (SDSUcks) wasn't good enough. You haven't got my dander up, Thumper, but you are starting to annoy me. You mean he applied for the only school in the state that has a med school to continue his road to becoming a doctor? WOW! Almost fell over with that revelation. What a shock! Apparently a BS from State is more than good enough to get into the USeD med school. Wouldn't think that was possible with how lowly our education is here.

When a kid who is not from SD (Zenner) decides to apply to the rival school he played football at to further his education compared to a school in the state he is from or elsewhere, Yes it says a lot.
When you get tired of your shitty dead end job Humper76 you should come get a real degree too.
