Wyobraska Posted December 10, 2017 Share Posted December 10, 2017 4 minutes ago, NorthWestCowboy said: Actually, Nebraska has seven public 4-year universities/colleges. It's just that UNL being the oldest and largest is the clear flagship for the state. If one were to have established South Dakota's primary universities in the modern era yes I agree one in the east (Sioux Falls) and one in the west (Rapid City) would be more ideal. That said both USD and SDSU were established in the east before South Dakota statehood and at a time when all of present day South Dakota west of the Missouri river was part of the Great Sioux Reservation. The Black Hills might still be part of a larger Sioux reservation today had it not been for the gold rush which initiated the demise of the Great Sioux Reservation and the subsequent rise of settlements such as Rapid City. Rapid City did get it's university though as the SDSM&T was established shortly after the gold rush to support the growing mining indistry in the Black Hills. Kearney, Chadron, and Omaha were added to the Nebraska system fairly recently though right? Maybe not Omaha, but Chadron and Kearney in the 70s or 80s? Or am I mistaken?

I was thinking of when they got changed from the Nebraska State College System to the University Nebraska system. Nevermind. Still, UNL being the majority flagship has huge implications. Kids go to those other schools but they are Husker fans for the most part and none of the other schools play football at the FBS level. Omaha's move up to D1 for basketball will be interesting to see what that does with basketball, along with Creighton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthWestCowboy Posted December 10, 2017 Author Share Posted December 10, 2017 Semifinal matchups are set pairing #6 SHSU vs #2 NDSU next Friday and #5 SDSU vs #1 JMU next Saturday. Hope for an all Dakota final is still alive with both NDSU and SDSU posting lopsided wins this weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lobo Amor Posted December 12, 2017 Share Posted December 12, 2017 NDSU vs. SHSU will be on bspn2 at 1800 on Friday. While the SDSU vs. JMU will be on bspnU which bugs me because it's at the same time as bowl games and on a channel I don't have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lobo Amor Posted December 15, 2017 Share Posted December 15, 2017 SHSU vs. NDSU up at 1800 on bspnU. Should be an exciting game. Nice to have some football tonight. ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, but that's not irrational or erroneous love for Texas. It's based on fact. In the end it just doesn't matter because my university will get whatever it wants and be on the inside on any incarnation of whatever conference it chooses and whatever incarnation of the NCAA or BCS that arises. Our ego only got bigger with the Pac-10, SEC and Big 10 trying to get us to join their conference. Look, why don't you just be quiet before my university buys yours and closes it just for spite?

westfan Posted December 16, 2017 Share Posted December 16, 2017 Here's how I see it, it's fun to see the fan support for NDSU, they showed them tailgating outside in crappy weather, the whole city is rabid. It would be great if Moscow fans develops the same culture for the Vandals over time. It could be tough taking a step in their eyes backward from FBS, but it is what it is, embrace it and dominate the FCS, make the Kibbie Dome an FCS horror show for visitors.

Lobo Amor Posted December 16, 2017 Share Posted December 16, 2017 NDSU showing why their the class of FCS these last 7 years. #1 offense getting stymied by the #1 defense. 21-3 end of the 1st. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NDSU is damn good on any field but they are unreal in the Fargodome and especially so in the playoffs. As I type this another Bison INT. I'm just glad that if SDSU can make it past JMU they won't have to play the Bison in Fargo although NDSU has basically turned the field in Frisco into their defacto homefield.
