Thanks for the link usdguy99.
That would make USD the 12th Best Value School in America, for schools that charge tuition (5 Military schools in top 10, $0 tuition).
In other news, SDSU was the first school in South Dakota to go D1 in athletics....

Iowa Wesleyan @ Kansas State Green Bay @ Morehead State
The first two from Jeremy H. on twitter, the next 2 just a guess!

It takes the building blocks to get to a National Championship, and it takes time.
One building block is in place, Head Coach. Joe Glenn has won National Championships, FBS Bowl Game. I'm not guaranteeing he will win a National Championship for the Yotes, but he will build a program that will be competing for one. We are MVFC- and D1-ready at Head Coach!
Coach Glenn and the Yotes program need time, you will see progress, when you see this year's team compared to last year's team. But the following 2 years will be when you see Glenn's signature on the team really become evident.
If the D-Line and other LBs develop (Lage, Hillier and JUCO transfer Staples), T*Starr will have a monster year. We have some great recruits at LB,DL but they will probably be red-shirted, and as we know, not all highly-touted HS players transition to D1 success. For T*Starr's benefit, I hope this area improves quickly.
Road wins will come, improvement is the better measuring stick this year. Plus the Dakota Dome, is going to be a tough ticket for the other MVFC teams also. Just ask Illinois State, UNI and WIU how easy it was to get those Ws last year. This year I think 3-4 conference wins at home is within reach.

The Coyotes have Tom Manning, FB for the running game also. I failed to mention in prior post, no disrespect to Mr. Manning, who played in 9 games/1 start in 2012. He will contribute, I'm sure in 2013.

Tough news for the Coyotes. Best wishes for a speedy recovery for Jasper. He's going to be hard to replace, with our lack of depth and experience at that position.
Next up, will be either Earv Archambeau, or Redshirt Freshmen (Jordan Roberts, Trevor Bouma, Ben Gardner) or true Freshmen (Kilgore, Potter).
Where were the RB recruits in class of 2011, 2010?
Time to go to work, Band of Brothers! The strength of the Pack is in the Coyote, the strength of the Coyote is in the Pack!! Build a running game in the summer, and hopefully add Jasper mid-season, and his return will be like a bonus! Let's Go Yotes!!

jackl, I see Nate's got some new threads, lot better than the stuff he's been wearing last 4 years.
No disrespect to Nate, wish him the best in the NBA. Other than the uniform, he was a pleasure to watch in Summit League action and I will be just as excited to see him in the big show!

The Yotes and their fans have much larger goals than beating State! It's just that unlike Jacks fans, we don't lose sight of the history of the rivalry, and what it means to South Dakota. Just because we CAN defeat FBS schools, or Number 1 FCS schools, doesn't mean that we enjoy it more than kicking the Bunnies around!

I had the pleasure of speaking with Mark directly regarding my Howling Pack renewal. He didn't come across like he was just counting beans, but we had a real conversation about the direction of the program. We have good people in place in Admin., Coaching, and player talent. Now it's time to support them with facilities, scholarships and mostly loud, screaming, decked in Red, Coyote Fans!! We're all hoping for the Yotes to go 0 to 60 in results on the field (court), now we need to go 0 to 60 in supporting the Howling Pack! If you haven't given, give a little. If you've given a little, give more. If you've given more, Double It! Let's Go Yotes! Lets Go Yotes!

Great schedule addition, and yes it should be an annual slot (hint, hint MVFC/Summit).
Is Sitting Bull Trophy in play? or must we wait for daddy to say we can go out and play?

I didn't really see any overly optimistic predictions in this thread. One or two references to 6-5, otherwise everyone is projecting a losing season. It takes as much reliance on "if this happens" to project 1-3 wins as it does to project 4-6.
I think Yote53 makes a clear description of the overhaul that is in progress. I have thought, and posted so, that talk of Joe Glenn's job being on the line prior to him recruiting and building his own system was silly talk. I can patiently wait for Joe Glenn to build his program, his way. But I'm also excited by progress underway, and can see hope for improvement in the near future also.

Yote53, I'm hearing you, if all the home football games are in the Dome and we're selling out and we're competing for conference championships, at-large bids, and National Championships, I'm happy! If we can get there by keeping all FB games in the Dome, great! No arguments with that! That's the best scenario.
