The Men's Golf team is having a nice showing at the Summit League Championship!
This is a young group, 1 Sophomore, 1 RS Freshman, 3 Freshmen.
They are currently in second, final round today. There is a link for live stats, that I have a hard time finding (not on the Summit League championship page??) and will have to search for today again. I know I found the link originally on goyotes.com, but don't see it now, sorry.
Hats off to the young gents and coaches, GO YOTES !!

Thanks for the post Chuck.
Interesting part of article for me, is just how much weight the size of market plays in decision (as well it should), Loyola (Chicago) chosen and UMKC (Kansas City) considered. For all those who dogged UMKC when they left for the WAC, and boasted that the Summit is better off without them, I think they should take note.
For the Summit to remain a viable conference, it needs good programs from biggest markets, IUPUI, Denver, Omaha, and seek expansion in those type of markets, if possible. I'm not saying that smaller markets can't bring value, because NDSU, SDSU, WIU (excuse my geography, not sure of their market size) have provided great value to the Summit, as will Thee University of South Dakota.
But the conference is going to need some big market anchors to provide stability IMHO. It would be nice to add a school in the Minneapolis, Milwaukee, St. Louis or maybe Chicago area, or bring back UMKC.

14lbenson, I looked at Iowa State and Kansas. I like Iowa State's full page image, but it does require scrolling down for other info/links vs. GoYotes.com has the images and some info/links next. I noticed these sites have more content, I see Iowa State has a coach mic'd up for spring practice for example, but I think that's both size/budget and experience of being a D1 program for some time. What about the USD site would you change? What do the other sites have that you are looking for?

In trying to navigate the SDSU site (to watch the Yotes), and most other sites in the Summit/MVFC, I don't have any complaints about USD's site!

Do the new plans (BB arena, etc) call for additional permanent seats? And how many?

Seems like we've discussed the announcers before, and I think that there are a lot of good announcers in the region. I don't think that there is only one model, nor is there one style that a first class D1 program demands. It comes down to effectiveness, not personality. I don't have the numbers, but I'm sure the decision-makers are looking at how does the announcer fit into the goal of drawing fans, expanding the programs and bringing in the ad revenues. History has shown that many styles and personalities have done this effectively. To use an example from years past, Vin Scully vs. Harry Caray. They certainly weren't cut from the same mold, yet both HOFers and both got results. And no offense to Tyler Merriam, or anyone else up north, but I could care less what works at SDSU or NDSU, etc. We've heard enough about their programs, it's time for USD to build USD's program, the COYOTE way!

Oh, and thanks to RJ on his call. Hey, to each his own, but I enjoy listening to RJ.
I even listened to him over the ESPN ladies, during the Summit League championship.
Will be back listening in the fall, when FB season is back!

To the McNeese State fans, congrats on a nice win. You have an impressive team, best of luck on Saturday in Detroit. The best way to show they had the seeding wrong, is to WIN, and you've sure done that.
And hats off to the Yotes, on a very successful year. Coach Williams (Coach of the Year in the Summit League, I don't care what anybody says) is laying the foundation for success. Go get'em in the offseason, and can't wait to see the team next year! Thanks again to the seniors!

Surprised Yotes were a 6 seed, also. Coyotes defeated our conference auto-bid to the WNIT, 3 times, and of course, the Yotes were a hare's whisker from going to the big dance, in 1st year of eligibility.

It is true, the Softball team is really playing well. Again, they were picked in the lower half in the preseason poll, and are now 5-1 in the Summit League. It is early, but they are pitching well, and they have some good hitting throughout the lineup! Another program looking pretty sharp, in its early years of eligibility. Great time to be Yotes Fans!!!!

My post is mostly for fun, Stu is obviously a professional and quite good at what he does. And yes it is good to read about the Yotes front and center.
It will be an upset, but only staggering for the Jackrabbits. Improbable (I'll give Stu the benefit of the doubt, that he was talking about the heavy injuries the Yotes had to overcome) run to the Finals. (We were a 3 seed, that handily beat the 2 seed), what's so improbable. Cinderella??? Really... that means there must be an ugly step-sister involved.........Oh now I get it. I think I speak for most Yote fans, we are NOT seething about anything that State does, we might seethe about the arrogance that goes with it. But we know that there is very little that State has accomplished in their 4-year head start, that the Coyotes won't accomplish soon and very soon!

Looks like Stu Whitney is pushing for Editor of The Collegian with his article in the AL.
"USD's improbable run to today's Summit finals" "a Cinderella scenario for the Coyotes" "(USD) silently seething at the adulation being bestowed upon their neighbors to the north" "If the Coyotes pull off a staggering upset"
The only thing he's missing to be Jackrabbits cheerleader is the skirt and the pom poms, or maybe just the pom poms.
