Omaha is 2-0 and WIU is 0-2, otherwise looks good. Weird seeing ORU at 0-2.

[bruinbison]

SDSU down by 7 with 24 secs to go against IUPUI

Jacks end up losing by 7 on the road

[NDSUstudent]

The standings and schedule have been updated.....Big week for the Bison this week.

Big blow for IPFW. They won't have leading scorer Mo Evans for the rest of the year. He's ineligible


Bad news for Fort Wayne.....
Evans was averaging 16.9 ppg, 5.1 apg and 3.7 rpg

[HoopsBison]

Bad news for Fort Wayne.....

Oh wow, disappointing for IPFW

[NDSUstudent]

Down goes Omaha....Every SL team has at least one loss now.

[HoopsBison]

Down goes Omaha....Every SL team has at least one loss now.
Quite the game from Max Landis...wow

[bruinbison]

Coyotes take down the Jackrabbits in women's bball 63-58 at Frost.
SDSU now 14-4 (4-1)
South Dakota 13-5 (4-1)

[NDSUstudent]

Standings and schedule updated...Some interesting games this week.....SDSU-ORU, Omaha-ORU, NDSU-IPFW and SDSU-USD

[NDSUstudent]

Rabbits at Yotes on right now. Usually a fun game to watch.

[ndsubison1]

Cmon Yotes. Took them +7.5.

[HoopsBison]

Holy fouls batman

[NDSUstudent]

These refs getting paid by the foul?

[StL Bison Fan]

Yokes tied it up but then let it slip. Bunnies win

[Mr Meaty]

These refs getting paid by the foul?

Not Summit league but last Wednesday University of Jamestown played VCSU and there were 69 fouls and 100 free throw attempted. 8 guys fouled out. That was a long game.

[NDSUstudent]

Wow IUPUI wins at IPFW 84-82

[NDSUstudent]

Road teams go 8-3 this week. ORU drops a pair at home.

[bruinbison]

Coach Nagy gets his 400th career win in Vermillion
with the Jackrabbits 79-75 victory over the Coyotes.

[bruinbison]

Omaha at SDSU tonight, on MidCo and ESPN3.
Omaha 6-1 in conference play, SDSU 5-2.
NDSU 4-3. If Omaha wins at Frost, will really be in driver's
seat for conference title with victories on the in Fargo and Brookings.

Just three weeks ago, UNO halted one of the nation’s longest home winning streaks when it snapped North Dakota State’s string of consecutive victories in Fargo, North Dakota, at 31 with a 91-82 road win.

Now, the Mavericks (14-7) take a crack at another.

South Dakota State (16-5) has won 26 straight at Frost Arena. The preseason Summit League favorite takes the nation’s sixth-longest home winning streak into Thursday’s game with the conference leaders.

[SanDakotaState]

SDSU wins 87-76.

[NDSUstudent]

IPFW and Denver also won. ORU is in some trouble at 3-6...some tough road games ahead of them now.

[NDSUstudent]

IUPUI beats WIU....four way tie at the top of the Summit.

[NDSUstudent]

Rabbits and Omaha win today....both are tied on top of the Summit.

[NDSUstudent]

IUPUI and IPFW both win, not looking like WIU will be making to SF this year.

[NDSUstudent]

WIU upsets Omaha at home, the necks pick up their first conference victory.

[ndsubison1]

Summit League, always unpredictable

[NDSUstudent]

Home teams go 2-1 tonight. Denver sneaks by IUPUI, of course the Bison win and IPFW pummels the Yotes.

[HoopsBison]

Would be awesome to see Denver get a win in Omaha today!

[Bison Bridge Guy]

Would be awesome to see Denver get a win in Omaha today!

Well, nailed that one!

Tweets out of South Dakota today indicate starter Shy McClelland has
left the team. Off the roster already.....stats say he was averaging

Interesting article, Coach Smith has always been first class. Guessing it just didnt work out. Wish the kid the best.

[bruinbison]

SDSU (8-2) at Omaha (7-4) tonight (Wed) at 7:00. (NDSU 6-4)
ESPN3 and MidCo have it

What happened to Omaha? Sure looked good in Fargo, but last week
Omaha fell 83-76 at Western Illinois and 75-72 at home to Denver.

SDSU - 49 RPI......Omaha - 149 RPI.....NDSU - 118 RPI

[ndsubison1]

We'll find out a lot about them tonight

[ndsubison1]

Good game. Omaha just turns it over. Up 94-92 on Bunnies. 12 sec left. Bunny ball

[ndsubison1]

Omaha wins. Awful shot to try and tie it by Bittle

[SDbison]

Omaha wins. Awful shot to try and tie it by Bittle Omaha beats SDSU 96-92......no OT.

[SDbison]

Omaha beats SDSU 96-92......no OT. Socalledfan is probably sad about this score since he is all about the Jacks.

[HoopsBison]

Holy breakdowns defensively...Omaha gambles a lot and does force a lot of turnovers but if your smart and take care of the ball you should be okay because they are not defensively sound team. Jacks shot the ball well and scored but man Id be pretty pissed off/embarrassed to score 92 and lose. That cannot happen.

[ndsubison1]

SDSU just ran out of time

[NDSUstudent]

WIU upsets Denver and ORU crushed IUPUI tonight.

[NDSUstudent]

Another week in the books....SDSU and IPFW are tied at the top. The Mastodons host the Rabbits in a huge game on Thursday and then IPFW follows that up with Omaha also at home.

Summit Tournament as of today...

1. SDSU vs 8. USD
4. IUPUI vs 5. NDSU

3. Omaha vs 6. Denver
2. IPFW vs 7. ORU

NDSU can lock up a seed no worse then 6th with a home sweep. Seems very likely though that the Bison are stuck in the 4/5 game.

Very interesting pairings. SDSU certainly would have a tough road to get to the finals as a one seed with the potential of playing to rivalry games.

[SanDakotaState]

Very interesting pairings. SDSU certainly would have a tough road to get to the finals as a one seed with the potential of playing to rivalry games.

The potential match-up against NDSU in the semis is not ideal for SDSU. I might feel more comfortable about that potential game after the 25th. I'm not worried about USD what so ever.

[NDSUstudent]

Bison and IUPUI win tonight. WIU is on the verge of Summit tournament elimination.

[ndsubison1]

Cheer for Ipfw over Sdsu

[NDSUstudent]

SDSU 44
IPFW 44 at the half

[NDSUstudent]

Rabbits lose 91-79....IPFW alone in first.

SDSU is not a good road team, very lucky they get to play the Summit tournament in friendly confines.

[wow]

SDSU is not a good road team, very lucky they get to play the Summit tournament in friendly confines.

Let's dispel once and for all with the fiction that SDSU has home court advantage at the Summit League tournament.

Since the Summit League Tournament moved to Sioux Falls, SDSU men's basketball is 11-5 (.687) in conference tournament play. During the same time period, our conference home court record is 54-11 (.831).

[SDbison]

Let's dispel once and for all with the fiction that SDSU has home court advantage at the Summit League tournament.

Since the Summit League Tournament moved to Sioux Falls, SDSU men's basketball is 11-5 (.687) in conference tournament play. During the same time period, our conference home court record is 54-11 (.831). No correlation between the two for either argument. The win loss in tourney is all dependent on pairings each year and actual relative strength of a team during conference play (11-5 over several years is good). Also, pretty short timeframe to make comparisons since time will tell if SDSU pulls off upsets to win it all from 3 or 4 seed. Having 75% or more fans in attendance cheering for the Jacks, and 45 minute drive from campus is a big deal.

[SanDakotaState]

NDSU fans have no problem packing CAS for football games and traveling down to Frisco every year. Why not do the same for the SLT? This argument comes up every year. Have you even thought that SDSU has had good teams and won games in the SLT because they are better than their opponent?

USD/NDSU fans have a home court advantage if they aren't playing SDSU.

[roadwarrior]

Most of us are still figuring out how to pay the credit card bills from January! But I will be at the SLT again this year anyway.

[NDSUstudent]

As one of the few Bison fans that has been to SF multiple times....SDSU has a big home court advantage. USD is getting better....NDSU kind of did in the old arena.

As for why NDSU fans don't pack SF....the tournament has weird dates, title game should be on Sunday and unlike SDSU fans we don't have to drive across town to attend. I am not saying move it, SF does a great job. It just is what it is.

[NDSUstudent]

ORU defeats Denver 62-58

Probably because the basketball fans aren't going to take a week vacation to Sioux Falls in early march, most people will be headed to warm places if they take time off. Not sure what is so hard to understand about that. Not to mention basketball die hard and casual fans is much smaller than the football die hard and casual fans.



We are saying home court advantage in the sense SDSU fans have always had the majority of fans there. Does it increase your win % maybe, maybe not, will never be able to see how much affect it really is, until SLT moves somewhere else.



I went in 2009 and haven't been back yet by choice mostly. Kid in school and 2010-2013 was just keeping afloat after being laid off. So decided national championship football was higher on my list than SLT in 2012, 2014. hope to make it back sometime probably will not be this year though.



Keep up the attendance and the slt may never leave Sioux Falls.

[ndsubison1]

Just weird dates to get off. Don't have enough vacation days since already taking football and summer days off

[NDSUstudent]

Denver beats USD.

Summit tournament as of today....

1. IPFW vs 8. USD
4. NDSU vs 5. IUPUI

3. Omaha vs 6. ORU
2. SDSU vs 7. Denver

WIU will not make the field as of today and will be eliminated with a loss or USD win.

Its hard to argue with the results of the current format. The Northern Sun conference tournament (DII) being held in Sioux Falls runs from Saturday-Tuesday as well. The NCAA football and basketball championship games are on a Monday.

From what I can tell, many fans wait to see if the Bison advance to the championship, then scramble to Sioux Falls and find tickets. I don't think that changes much with a Sunday championship, might get a few more fans to the semi-finals I suppose. I doubt more all session passes would be sold though - for all the same reasons already discussed.

I think it would be fun to have more fans from all the schools there, it is a really fun four days.

[HandoEX]

Personally, I'd rather go to the Summit League Tournament than Frisco, and it's not even close.

If it wasn't because of the national TV, the title game would be played on Sunday. I want the game on TV, I want exposure so I am fine with it. But to act like the format is ideal is just stupid. It is what it is.

[wow]

It seems pretty ideal to me (and about 7500 other all session ticket purchasers)... sorry its not ideal for you.

[TransAmBison]

It seems pretty ideal to me (and about 7500 other all session ticket purchasers)... sorry its not ideal for you.It is ideal to you? Do you even know what ideal means?

[NDSUstudent]

Ideal for SDSU fans is a tournament that gives them the biggest advantage. Which is why they are arguing that it is amazing to play the title game on Tuesday night, never mind the fact that every conference that can have their tournament on a weekend has it on a weekend. Big 10, MVC, Big 12, SEC, etc.

I am not even being overly critical here, I said it is fine but the reason it is setup the way it is has nothing to do with it being ideal and everything to do with getting TV exposure. Which I am perfectly fine with btw. Sad that I can't even be remotely critical without a Rabbit jumping down my throat with their usual BS.

[ndsubison1]

Be thankful Espn shows the conference tourney final. Thats why its on a Tuesday.

I wasn't jumping down your throat, just expressing my opinion.

You said NDSU fans don't show up because the championship is on Tuesday. I disagreed, and said the day of the week wouldn't impact NDSU numbers. Then you said the only reason its not on Sunday is because TV, and the current format isn't ideal. 7500 people disagree with you and have bought all session tickets.

A Tuesday night championship is not ideal for those that want to buy tickets only if their team makes the championship. A Tuesday night championship is ideal for those who want to sell all-session tickets.

I think it would be extremely interesting to know how many conferences sell more all session tickets than the Summit League. I bet its a very short list. All session ticket sales is the main reason why the Summit League funds athletic departments, instead of athletic departments funding the conference.

[NDSUstudent]

I think if the tournament was like the MVC's tournament more NDSU fans would go. Especially if NDSU had a great team, you would be looking at games on Friday-Sunday. I've said it time and again that MVC has by far and away the best conference tournament.

But the Summit can't do that and I am fine with that.

You can't just make a statement like that without backing it up in some way. Pretty much every argument has been "so-and-so does it this way, that must be best. Common knowledge dictates that x is best. Thinking otherwise is dumb." Why would it be better for consumers, how would it increase revenue for the league?

I'm a consumer. I've said it is ideal for me. Obviously, not everyone wants the same things, but:

In an effort to maximize revenue, I would think the Summit would attempt to appeal to the broadest range of consumers possible (and yes TV audience is part of that - something attendance numbers have made possible like never before). You can argue all you want, but the bottom line is that the tournament is WILDLY successful under the current format. Yes, there are more successful championship weekend tournaments, but they are pretty much all major leagues. Anybody our size has worse tournaments than ours.

IMO, all session ticket sales would actually go down with a Saturday or Sunday championship format. As it is now, lower interest games are on the weekend when it is easy to attend. High interest games are during the workweek, when it is harder to attend. Changing to a weekend championship puts low interest games during the workweek, and high interest games during the weekend. The current format gives incentive to fans to buy all session tickets. A weekend format gives incentive to waiting to see how the first rounds play out before deciding to attend weekend sessions.

Would walkup tickets on a weekend championship be enough to offset that? Maybe, especially in years when SDSU/NDSU/USD make the finals. It would be DEVASTATING in a year that ORU/IPFW/IUPUI/Western make finals.

I'm sure that if ESPN wanted to put our game on the weekend, we would change. But I do think it could be a mistake from a revenue standpoint. The Summit League is one of very few leagues that actually pays its members. Should we risk that for TV exposure? Maybe. But if we are ever going to get a Saturday/Sunday championship we will need to improve attendance. SDSU attendance is pretty maxed out at this point, so I would like to see more NDSU/USD/Omaha etc fans in attendance.

How many of the ALL Session passes bought are USD or SDSU fans??? I am guessing over 80%... Its pretty easy to commit to all session passes when its an hour drive and no hotel stay needed.

Having said that I have no issues with the tournament, where its held, and its dates. I have gone the last 3-4 years and always have had a blast. Bottom line, we as NDSU fans need to step up and do a better job attending the tournament or don't complain about it.

[SDbison]

ok.......so sdsu deserves their home court advantage for summit this year, but unlike ndsu for football they don't have to earn it every year and sdsu can have an edge in years when they are 2, 3, or 4 seed with their fans packing the place. What is the average drive time for a sdsu or usd fan going to the Denny........about 30 minutes?

[SanDakotaState]

How do you how many of the SDSU fans are Sioux Falls Area residents? There is probably a good majority from Sioux Falls but I also think that there is good amount of people from west river and central South Dakota. They tournament dates aren't probably "ideal" for them but they still show up and have to get hotel rooms. I think SDSU fans make this tournament a priority to attend while NDSU fans are more worried about having days off for Frisco, FBS games (like the Iowa game this coming football season), and the FCS playoffs every year so they aren't able to go to Sioux Falls. If people want to go, they will find a way to go. One way to get rid of the "SDSU Advantage" and "Frost South" is by having other fan bases buy tickets when they come out. If you don't have desire to go to the SLT, you shouldn't be complaining about how the tournament is unfair for everyone but SDSU. I just think that NDSU fans don't really want to go unless they are in the championship game or have a very good team.

My questions are this:

In the past when NDSU has made the championship game, there is usually have a decent amount of fans. How many actually drive back the same night as the game especially if the win (ie, last year)?

Lets say in a scenario that the tournament gets moved to US Bank Stadium in Minnesota. The tournament days are still the same. The travel distance from Fargo is basically the same. How many NDSU fans would attend that? I think SDSU fans would still put up decent attendance numbers there. Not the same numbers as Sioux Falls but a good amount.

NDSU could have home court advantage in Sioux Falls. Tickets are for sale, buy them.

The same can't be said for your home field advantage in football.

[HandoEX]

Ideal is storming the court after last year's Bison Summit Championship while thousands of SDSU fans watched in horror. Wouldn't have changed a thing about that one.

[HerdBot]

NDSU could have home court advantage in Sioux Falls. Tickets are for sale, buy them.

The same can't be said for your home field advantage in football.

I actually agree with this. I don't think us Bison fans are passionate enough about basketball to buy up the seats. Someday maybe, but as of today probably not. The new building is big enough too so we can get tickets now. We just wont.

[IndyBison]

How many NDSU fans would attend that? I think SDSU fans would still put up decent attendance numbers there. Not the same numbers as Sioux Falls but a good amount.
There are a lot more alumni in the Twin Cities area so I would expect a bigger turnout. I imagine SDSU has several alumni as well so I don't know if one school has an advantage over the other. I would guess the numbers would be significantly closer than they are today.

[NDSUstudent]

How do you how many of the SDSU fans are Sioux Falls Area residents? There is probably a good majority from Sioux Falls but I also think that there is good amount of people from west river and central South Dakota. They tournament dates aren't probably "ideal" for them but they still show up and have to get hotel rooms. I think SDSU fans make this tournament a priority to attend while NDSU fans are more worried about having days off for Frisco, FBS games (like the Iowa game this coming football season), and the FCS playoffs every year so they aren't able to go to Sioux Falls. If people want to go, they will find a way to go. One way to get rid of the "SDSU Advantage" and "Frost South" is by having other fan bases buy tickets when they come out. If you don't have desire to go to the SLT, you shouldn't be complaining about how the tournament is unfair for everyone but SDSU. I just think that NDSU fans don't really want to go unless they are in the championship game or have a very good team.

My questions are this:

In the past when NDSU has made the championship game, there is usually have a decent amount of fans. How many actually drive back the same night as the game especially if the win (ie, last year)?

Lets say in a scenario that the tournament gets moved to US Bank Stadium in Minnesota. The tournament days are still the same. The travel distance from Fargo is basically the same. How many NDSU fans would attend that? I think SDSU fans would still put up decent attendance numbers there. Not the same numbers as Sioux Falls but a good amount.

I've been to the Summit tournament three times. Rarely have I seen SDSU fans or any other fans in the hotel I was at. The success of the tournament is largely driven by local fans, which is fine.

[HoopsBison]

Ideal is storming the court after last year's Bison Summit Championship while thousands of SDSU fans watched in horror. Wouldn't have changed a thing about that one.

I agree with this statement!!!

[HoopsBison]

Not surprised by the move. Although he does have nice young talent on the team. Id love to have the Rosga kid on their roster from MN in a NDSU jersey.

[HoopsBison]

Sounds like Denver is eyeing Rodney Billups and an announcement is likely next week. Billups has been with Colorado the last few season.

Rodney Billups is the younger brother of former NBA player Chauncey Billups.

[ndsubison1]

Damn. If that happens, Summit has some nice young coaches. I bet Gardner wont be at Iupui too long though

Several years ago I went to the local high school to watch a game too see what this Hoosier Hysteria was all about. Our high school had a 7-foot stuff that had committed to Kentucky. He was big and clumsy, but the other team had a stud point guard that was fun to watch. That was Jason Gardner. Unfortunately the big guy collapsed a couple weeks later during a playoff game and passed away from adv undiagnosed heart condition.

Was not counting $$ as part of that opinion. If that's the offer it obviously changes things. https://twitter.com/mkedik/status/716691347676082177 …


Offer being talked about is $400+
Sounds like Nagy is currently in the 212-237 range.

[bruinbison]

Hmmm, I see where Augustana's Tom Billiter graduated from college
in 1983, would make him about 55. Wonder if he would be interested
after Augie's D2 championship.

[ndsubison1]

Dont see Nagy leaving for Wright St. Could be wrong.

[NDSUstudent]

I actually see him going, good money and maybe he wants a new challenge.

[HoopsBison]

That's a lot of money to turn down. I think he takes it.

[HoopsBison]

Will be interesting if SDSU stays in house with hire or goes with an outside candidate. SDSU is now losing 7 players and its head coach. I am sure Nagy will take most of assistants as well. Quite the turnover for one season.

I know Nagy is 2-1 against the Bison in the SLT.

Nagy will go down as one of the best coaches in SDSU history. He has over 400 wins.

Without Natalie & Daum, nagy was garbage. this is hilarious to me actually, shows how stupid wright state is. haha.

[IndyBison]

Dayton is a nice city. The MSA is about 800k so it's bigger than the population in the entire state of South Dakota. It's also 60 miles to Cincinnati and 70 miles to Columbus and 120 miles to Indy (shorter if you consider suburb to suburb in each case). Wright State and UDayton are both good D1 basketball programs, plus Miami University is only 30 minutes away. He will have a lot more competition for recruits with all the other schools in the area, but the number of prospects will be much higher (similar to Saul at Ohio U).

[ndsubison1]

He interviewed at Milwaukee

[BisonJD]

Forgive San Dakota State, as its coming apart at the seams in Brookings...
1. Nagy bolts for Wright State for a significant increase in salary and takes his entire staff (except for Rob Klinkefus and Joe Krabbenhoft)
2. Joe Krabbenhoft (SDSU's top recruiter and best assistant, IMO) takes the Wisconsin assistant job.
3. Schools are circling Daum and Tellinghousen. I mentioned the Daum rumors on this board after the SL Tournament, but you'll have to trust me.
4. Connor Devine already announced he's transferring out.

Couple of other considerations...As mentioned, Coach Billeter is/has interviewed at UW-Milwaukee, so that's no slam dunk. I think this potentially sets the SDSU hoops program 3+ years unless they have a homerun hire. Ryan Miller (UNLV assistant and brother to Mike Miller) would be a scary hire for the SL, because he can recruit his tail off.

[bruinbison]

SDSU has some recruiting of players to do.....
Looks like they only have signed 1 so far this year
Loudon Love-Vollbrecht - 6' 8" 285
And with 5 seniors & 2 players transfering out, time to fill the roster.
My guess is the Jacks will move quickly on this coaching vacancy.
Also Mike Daum will be on the hiring committee :)

P.S. To repeat on Daum, as he redshirted already, if he transfers he will
lose a year of eligibility as I understand it. Unless he transfers to a JC,
where he could play right away and continue on to Nebraska or wherever
the following year with 2 years eligibility remaining.

[Thumper 76]

Devine left to be closer to family with his kid in Alaska. I know Daum transferring is exciting for you guys (hell if he was a Bison I wouldn't be against him transferring if the situation was flipped) but I'm guessing we won't know anything for sure until he meets the new coach after he's hired. However saying he will or won't ten thousand times on a message board doesn't make it more true either way. Usually the guys throwing out those rumors super early are just waiting till they get lucky so they can say SEE I WAS RIGHT THAT ONE TIME, similar to a certain college football analyst I can think of who riled up the populace over here......

Yep that does but the tweet sure didn't. I could care less either way, it is just fun to get little brother worked up during the off season. It is kind of cute. :):)

[HoopsBison]

Daum is a heck of a player and very talented. I would be very surprised if he transfers, had he not red-shirted it would be a bit more dicey maybe. It will be interesting how Daum does in a new offense with a different coach. SDSU is losing a ton of outside shooting that opened up a lot of space for him to operate. I still think he will be very good next year and one of the best players in the league but production will be a little tougher for him.

You got to think SDSU will move quick with a hire. With all spots they need to fill and only one signed player. The best name I have heard speculated is T.J. Otzelberger current assistant at Iowa State. Would be an excellent coach and great hire for SDSU.

Your right, in that case he wouldn't grant the interview. He is a smart. well spoken young man who knows how to handle himself in public. Painful as it may be for NDSU fans, and seemingly USD fans Daum is going nowhere. The SDSU beat writer for the Argus spoke with his parents who very clearly stated he is going nowhere. Daum has told multiple sources he is going nowhere. He is a small town kid, happy in Brookings and he has great relationship with his teammates.

Maybe NDSU fans should be more worried about who Nagy will be replaced by. To the frustration of most SDSU fans Nagy had a hard time beating NDSU, even when NDSU were down. I doubt Nagy's replacement will have that same problem. With the remaining front line talent at SDSU, does NDSU sniff another NCAA tournament in the next three years if the replacement can bring in a couple high quality transfer guards?

Based really on what assumption? I guess we lost 5 seniors and 2 others that left the program and all our coaches. I love the position NDSU is in with a core of returning players and some bright young talent that will be on the court for the next 4 years. I would bet you that NDSU is in the dance more over the next 3 years than SDSU.

Marshall, Parks and Bittle are huge losses. It came out today that they are trying to get Moffitt another year. Losing Devine hurts depth but he was a little used reserve and we have plenty of depth on in the middle. I'll take the bet. SDSU will win the SLT 2 of the next 3 years.

Coaching staff? Pretty sure you are aware NDSU has had three coaching staffs since going D1. Seems as if NDSU has done just fine. I trust Sell will bring in a solid hire who will continue the success. SDSU isn't going anywhere just like Daum is going nowhere.

The thing that sucks about new coaches coming in is you never know what your getting....the next big thing or a flop. You hope the new staff does not skip a beat or even better exceeds what you had in the past. But, watch out if you get a flop. I could set you back a decade. It will be fun to see if
SDSU can replicate what NDSU has done.

Not real worried about either to be honest. I am worried about what our team can control and that's improving over the off-season. We have the most talent coming back of any team in the conference and if we can take care of our business we will be dancing next season. For the record I hope Daum does stay, he is a good player and good for the league. Also putting all your eggs in the transfer basket...good luck with that.

SO you are saying that before SDSU names a coach, that you bet he will do better than Nagy against NDSU? He might, just seems odd to already be thinking or worrying or making promises about it. I just love the fact that for 4 years a South Dakota kid is going to rock for NDSU. Was tough to have him sit out this year. He would have helped so much. Tied in the title game with 10 minutes to play and Deng is just watching. Must have killed the staff to not want to put him in. Going to be fun to watch the vultures on Dahm. Great player.

Id expect SDSU to hire somebody by the end of the week. Some names are starting to come out but appears these 3 are the favorites to land the job.

1) TJ Otzelberger - Asst at Iowa State. SDSU's beat writer tweeted today he thinks TJ is the favorite for the job right now.

2) Ryan Miller- Was a Asst at UNLV last year. SD native.

3) Vince Taylor- Asst at Texas Tech. Was at Minnesota with Tubby. Most Experience of the three.

It will be interesting to see who SDSU picks. You hear a bunch of support for Miller but the last two coaching staffs he has worked on have been fired for lack of results. That has to be a red flag even if he is from South Dakota.

Did Nagy retain any of the former assistants? Guessing he will want at least 1 guy with ties and understanding of the league. Just strikes me odd that he didn't go with Nagy initially if he had a spot on staff because he seems to have never been a serious contender for the Jacks job.
