Back to things Coyotes, Thanks to Herbster, Sayler and Pres. Abbott for getting our programs to this stage. Coach Glenn, Coach Williams, and now the promising Coach Smith for the big 3, that's impressive! One of the best trios around, now let's roll !

I noticed Lage wasn't suited up. Does anyone know if he is injured or were they just sitting him out for the game? Also, it seemed to me that the passes that Earl hit were a lot faster and more precise than last fall. Excited to watch that kid this year! I heard on the radio that Lage, Vander Maten had muscle strains and kept out as precautions. Also share in the excitement of watching Earl this year, could be a big year for him. Like others have posted, Im hoping the OL can really move people so our RBs can rack up the yards, to open up passing lanes for what could be one of the better QBs in the conference.

You have to give credit to the "Dave ADs", the Coyotes Coaching staff for the big 3 sports is quite impressive. That is a foundation to build on, can't wait to see the continued success!

Thanks to bluffrunner for starting the thread and obc and others with a first hand view taking the time to post.
I'm only able to get out to Vermillion about once or twice a year, so appreciate this board and the local press coverage.

Who wouldn't want to work for Craig Smith? If he can get a lateral movement from UNC to USD he would be doing what's in his career's best interest. The potential for growth is much higher for him here than at UNC. He'll be able to say he was part of USD's rise to prominence from the beginning, and gain some valuable experience working under a guy who is on his way up (I really have a feeling Craig Smith is going to be big someday, possibly even a head coach in a power conference). What's loyalty to the ag school going to get you anyways? I really am surprised to hear someone so ingrained in their program jump come to the in-state rival. Good career move, I could never work against my alma mater like that. I'll take him if Smith thinks he's good for the job, but I'd be feeling a bit betrayed if I was a State fan who cheered for the guy for about a decade. Lateral? lol Good luck to Austin. It was time for him to move on from SDSU. The only reason i can think why he would quit UNC after a year was that he wanted to get back to South Dakota. Minus the "back" and that makes sense jackl

As for TE, it is interesting to see that Ramsey converted from QB to TE and added 20 lbs to 230. If he can block enough, with his athletic ability shown on recruiting videos, he could be a force in the offense. It will be interesting to see how they all progress.

So the possible hiring of a former assistant coach at SDSU and UNC represents a significant step ahead for the Coyotes? Interesting. In that case, USD better look out for Concordia St. Paul. It's closing the gap on you. Don't think anyone on this board said it would be a significant step ahead..

Some chatter on the bunny board that former Jack player and coach Austin Hansen will join Smith's staff. That must be for some entertaining conversations, with Hansen, if true, moving up the ladder, SDSU to UNC to USD !! I posted when I first joined this board how much fun it was going to be to watch the fake gap that SDSU claimed they achieved by jumping to D1 first evaporate into thin air. This is fun, more POPCORN please!!!

I think NDSU will be a top 10 team to start the season, but I don't think they will finish there, and I'm not sure they'll make the playoffs. Also, please don't repeat this, but I think SDSU will be a top 10 team also, with more staying power than the Bizon. SDSU doesn't have a lot returning on the defensive line with 3 senior starters. They have players but lots of question marks on (what I consider) the most important group on defense. It really is too early to predict, but I was basing it on some site making an early prediction for next year, and they mentioned SDSU in their 15. I don't really know the Jacks personnel, but based upon last years team, and they didn't lose as much talent as NDSU, I would expect a strong team again this year.

I guess Herbster's timing was right all along.
If the NDSU job was available to Craig Smith, I'm still not sure he wouldn't have chosen USD anyway, he seems to be a forward thinker!

Which begs the question, I wonder what our seed will be in next year's NCAA tourney?
I'm thinking that Coach Williams (if she doesn't move on to Minnesota, or the like) will start the season with more certainty than the prior two, in regards to returning players with experience. Hopefully minus the injuries, the Yotes will be in great position to start the non-conf. and the SL with a string of victories. Add in the recruits, who are looking at USD in a more 'national, NCAA' light, (it didn't hurt that they were able to take in the selection Monday) and I think the Coyotes are looking at improving on the 15 seed.

OK, so WBI is sub-standard, WNIT is not. Somehow WNIT is going to help you with seeding next year, but NCAA didn't. I am a little slow, but yeah you really cleared it up for me. Which one is the Big Dance, that's where USD will be! Let's all record the address for this page so we can look at it next year and either 1) marvel at canislatrans's prognostication abilities or (2) realize that canislatrans's post was a warning and therefore we should not be surprised when he gets very angry if USD's women enter the WNIT and play well, going at least four games deep with wins over B1G and Big East schools. Don't know how to quote from another thread but, there's this: canislatrans Apr. 9, 2013 @ 6:44am jackl, I would start to pay attention to CBI and WNIT, gonna be a big part of the Bunnies future. You can look it up, and by the way if USD plays in the WNIT, or the WBI, or any other postseason tourney and it brings in revenue, and I can see it on the internet or TV, there'll be no angry complaints from canislatrans. I also won't be posting on the bunnies fan board, if there is such a thing.

LOL Last year State fans were on this board dogging USD for playing in sub-standard tournaments and that we should set our sights on the lowly WNIT. This year WNIT wins will provide for better seeding in next year's NCAA. WOW!! LOL Yote women were in a sub-standard tournament called the WBI. oops OK, so WBI is sub-standard, WNIT is not. Somehow WNIT is going to help you with seeding next year, but NCAA didn't. I am a little slow, but yeah you really cleared it up for me. Which one is the Big Dance, that's where USD will be!
