First game just about over(thankfully). 12-3 Rabbits, bottom of the 9th. At least the softball game was good. (And someone near Newman is kind enough to have an unsecured wireless router so I can write this.)

Game over. Here's hoping WIU has pulled it out over SUU.

Jacks go for the road sweep tomorrow. This may be the year of the Rabbits in the Summit for baseball.

Not really. Check the boxscores on gobison.com

We're not out of it, but we are on life support. SDSU and ORU have clinched spots, and Centenary would have to completely fall apart to not make it.

Here are the four teams vying for the final spot:


Games Left
Southern Utah 11-12 .478 @Oakland(4)
IPFW 11-13 .458 Centenary(4)
North Dakota State 10-13 .435 @Oral Roberts(4)
Oakland 09-14 .391 Southern Utah(4)

The Bison will have to win our ORU series, and probably sweep it, and then hope for help from Oakland and Centenary. That's a long shot.

From Terry V's blog (what is this guy smoking?):


It just got real

Posted 5/17/2010 6:00 AM CDT on argusleader.com
The South Dakota State baseball team had already beaten three teams from major-conferences a total of five times. It had already taken a series from Oral Roberts, the first conference club ever to do that. And it had already ascended into the top 20 in national statistics for fielding, batting and pitching.

But this weekend in Fargo, things got real - as skateboarder Rob Dyrdek would say - for the Jackrabbits. They took three games from rival North Dakota State on the road for the first time since 1982. That's a fairly long history of underwhelming success considering that SDSU, for the most part, has had a better baseball program than the Bison, holding a substantial lead in the all-time series at 89-46.

So even though NDSU isn't great, sitting in sixth place in the Summit League, the fact that the Jacks took care of business away from home in a rivalry series adds still more credence to the idea that this is a legit squad.

Good teams win at home and on the road. Check. They beat name-brand schools and no-name schools. Check. They beat first-time foes and longtime rivals. Check.

But can they finish the job? Three teams - SDSU, Centenary and ORU - are within percentage points of first place with one week left in the regular season. The league hasn't seen a baseball race like this since before the Golden Eagles came on board - they've won the regular-season title by at least four games in the loss column every year since 1999.

An opportunity like this, a team like this, doesn't come along every year in Brookings.

I guess I don't see the problem in what he is saying. The Jacks are very good this year and handing Oral Roberts their first Summit League conference loss EVER makes them a legit contender for the Summit League title. What is the problem with the blog post in your mind?

Not to mention sweeping our series against Big Ten leading Minnesota and beating nationally ranked Arkansas.

We also have the nation's leader in ERA and we have a 33-17 record. So yeah, the Jacks are legit and have been for the past couple years.

I could care less if SDSU baseball is doing well. I just took issue with the above portion of Terry's blubbering. So SDSU fans.......I think you would not appreciate if Kolpack wrote something similar later this year instead with the topic of Bison football:
"In recent years the underperforming Bison have lost the marker to SDSU, but the long time series leading Bison just kicked the Jacks around the field 1980's fashion in the 2010 matchup. The Bison have nearly always had the superior football program."

I think it's also a slam at SDSU and praise for NDSU because the Bison have done so well against the Jacks at home in the past 18 years that NDSU hasn't lost a series at home to SDSU in that span.

I really don't think they two comments even convey the same thing. If Kolpack would say "NDSU, for the most part, has had a better football program than the Jacks, holding a substantial lead in the all-time series at whatever it is." most Jackrabbits fan wouldn't be upset because that is a fact, just like the fact Terry used.

SDSU has probably brought some good teams to Fargo since 1982 but haven't won three games there and that is a credit to the Bison and I think that is what Terry is trying to say.

Agree, it seems like SDSU should have won several series in Fargo since 1982. Don't know why that was so difficult.
I still think Terry V goes out of his way, just like most SDSU fans, to take jabs at NDSU. But then again NDSU seems to be SDSU's gold standard. NDSU doesn't feel the same about SDSU.
Finally this is NDSU's messageboard and if I feel a certain way, even if biased towards NDSU, I every right to do so..........

I don't think Terry took a jab at NDSU by providing a stat which was meaningful since it provided that SDSU has been better than NDSU for the most part in baseball. And can we knock off this gold standard crap. SDSU and NDSU are in the same conference so of course we want to beat the Bison.

The Jacks are good but they are not legit.

There are 301 D1 baseball teams. Depending on the poll you look at they are 157 or 164 in the RPI ranking. Floating close by is the every mighty Gophers at 138 leading the mediocre Big 10 with their 25-27 overall record. Is the Jacks record good, yeah. But their strength of schedule is a 254 ranking so if they are a decent team they should win a lot of games with that kind of schedule.

The problem I have is how can you call a team that is arguably worse then over half of D1 teams legit. They beat Arkansas 3-2 mid week on a Tuesday and promptly got destroyed the next day 21-2.

SDSU is a very good team. ORU is down this year but still a very good team as well. Legit is a top 50 team. SDSU's womens BB teams were legit. SDSU, and ORU baseball this year are not legit just very good.

Our RPI would be better if we weren't playing in a conference with Oakland (rpi 268) IPFW (274), NDSU (281), & W. Illinois (285).

There are 301 D1 baseball teams, and half the Summit league are within the bottom 50 teams.

And when I said the Jacks are legit, it was meant in regards to the article. I'm not saying they will have a shot at the Baseball World Series, but they do have a legitimate shot at dethroning Oral Roberts for the conference title. (You know, something that hasn't happened in the past billion years)

I've paid attention to some of the Jacks boxscores this season they def. are legit. They can hit the ball and only make the Summit stronger. I actually wouldnt mind to see them take down ORU. That's if NDSU doesnt make it, which they likely won't.

I can agree with this to a point. SDSU has a good team. Not great, but good. And on any given day they probably could pull off a big win.

In regards to TV's blog and articles that he writes, he obviously pushes SDSU but he is about as unbiased as you can get. He has a lot of respect for NDSU as he grew up in Jamestown, ND, went to school at Concordia, and I believe worked for the Fargo Forum and still has many friends there.
