South Dakota State at Iowa St game-time thread

[RabidRabbit]

Tonight's the night, when Berry's throws to the lights (with Blue helmets xlolx )

Catch it live via Fox Sports network (central) Channel 617 for directTV starting at 7 PM CDT.

This should be a tight FCS/FBS match-up. Ranked FCS team vs a poorly rated Big XII team. Experienced FCS team, especially on D-line, and QB and receiving corps vs inexperienced QB, and power running game for FBS.

If possible, I will be trying to keep a game-time thread running here, but expect that NorCalJack will be active posting also.

[Benne]

I will be watching at Nuttys

I have a question for all you SDSU fans. Did the school have to pay a royalty to Warner Brothers for your mascot? The resemblance to Ol' Bugs is striking. Just askin'!;)

[PantherRob82]

Is this game available on the internet?

Actually, both Benne & I are using the "old" Runnin' Rabbit, rather than our 2/2008 released mascot. xthumbsupx xthumbsupx

A major push for the mascot change was the similarity to a Warner Bro. cartoon character. xnodx xnodx

Never entered into infringement issues, but there were discussions between SDSU and Times-Warner about it.

Attached are two of the new mascot/Name.

[RabidRabbit]

Is this game available on the internet?

Audio for certain. But for a fee.

Follow the guidance for SDSU sports at gojacks.com.

I'm not certain if the video portion will be on the web, or because it's on a premier directV station, that it's not available on SDSU sports. Haven't checked at the ISU site.

Audio is lame. :D I'm in Utah. I want entertainment. ANY in the SLC want to find a bar for this game?

I feel your pain. Try getting a bar in Atlanta GA to play SDSU/ISU when Ga Tech vs Jacksonville St. or U So Car vs NC St are choices xbawlingx

[crunifan]

Go Jackrabbits!!!

I'd love to see the Cyclones go down again!

[PantherRob82]

I'd love to see every FBS team lose to their FCS opponents

I remember that feeling when I lived in Marietta. But strangely there was a Michigan St. alumni group that gathered at a sports bar we used go to.

[PantherRob82]

not free......mf

[igo4uni]

Go Jackrabbits!!!

I'd love to see the Cyclones go down again!

I think the jacks can do it. I would love to hear the Cyclown fans bitching and moaning!! I can hear it now......."We've got to start scheduling DII teams instead of these tough FCS teams!!"

[RabidRabbit]

Jacks first possession is turn-over giving ball to ISU on their own 20, down to 5 in 4 plays.

Cyclones led off by marching kick-off to TD in about 7 plays

No problem Hooligan! Glad to See GSU watchers! xbowx xbowx

[GSUhooligan]

Its the best game on TV right now, plus SDSU fans are awesome, I haven't met a bad one in any of my experiences with them.

[RabidRabbit]

Jack O-Line is getting beat pretty bad. Need to protect/provide time for Berry to pass.

Good ISU D so far.

ISU offense vs SDSU D, pretty even so far.

[RabidRabbit]

3 turnover ISU, 2 for Jacks

Need to start doing something with Cyclone gifts.

Cyclones definitely up on time of possession.

Jacks marching from 30 (to go) for TD.

3rd and 10 tho!

[ISUMatt]

Since when did Iowa St wanna look like USC??? And out of cuiousity, why did DirecTV pick this feed up from FCS?

[RabidRabbit]

1st and goal from 7! COME ON IN JACKS!

[ISUMatt]

Nice tackle by the SDSU QB, he telegraphed that pass!!

[RabidRabbit]

Move the pile to 5

Incomplete (near interception) on 2nd

Intercepted on 3rd, ran out to 35!

Berry on push out.

[RabidRabbit]

Clowns definitely reading Jacks O right.

[RabidRabbit]

33 yd FG attempt by ISU is good.

ISU 13, SDSU 0 at 5 mins left in 2nd.

[RabidRabbit]

Thanks ISU, unnecessary roughness. To 33.

Reception to 45.

Keep marching Jacks!

[RabidRabbit]

EP good, Clones 20, Jacks 0.

[GOKATS]

Just finished mowing the lawn & turned it on DirecTV- pretty much what I expected so far (too many errors). C'mon rabbits, do it!!!

[RabidRabbit]

ISU picks another Berry throw! :pumpuke: :pumpuke:

We're lucky to not be down by 40.

Need to stuff ISU til end of half.

[RabidRabbit]

Jacks do stop ISU til half

Down 20-0

[JayJ79]

Berry has thrown 4 passes to ISU players,
while ISU's quarterbacks have only completed 6.

ouch.

[igo4uni]

[GSUhooligan]

Rabbits on the board

20-3 Cyclowns 9 min left in the 3rd

[igo4uni]

[RabidRabbit]

Jacks getting pushed around pretty well by the Cyclones

[igo4uni]

Another clown td. too many picks for sdsu in first half. still hope, though

[GSUhooligan]

wow. #1 my have whiplash after that hit.

5th INT for Berry is a pick 6.

34-3 Iowa St. Doesn't look good. Come on Rabbits, ya'll we down this big last year against GSU and made a game out of it. Do it again!

[RabidRabbit]

Triped up at 25, to bad, cause had a lot of green ahead of him on kickoff.

Minet to 32,

3rd and 3.

Another ******ing pick for TD this time!!!!!xpissedx xpissedx xpissedx xpissedx xflamemadx xflamemadx xflamemadx xflamemadx

[igo4uni]

sdsu throws another pick.........returned by clowns for td. sdsu looks shell shocked. have they ever played in a big stadium like this before?? they look intimidated.

[RabidRabbit]

Berry ties SDSU record # of interceptions at 5. Still whole another qtr to go.

Go pressure on Berry by ISU D. Not much time, and hits right as released.

3 and out for Jacks.

End of 3, Jacks 3, Cyclones 34.

20 Cyclone points of Jacks turnovers. None off Cyclones' 4 turnovers.

[RabidRabbit]

sdsu throws another pick.........returned by clowns for td. sdsu looks shell shocked. have they ever played in a big stadium like this before?? they look intimidated.

This is the biggest crowd to see Jacks play. 2nd largest was 1984 vs Wyo. 33K then.

[GSUhooligan]

Those D-bags are throwing deep in the 4th qtr up 31. That coach should burn in hell.

[RabidRabbit]

Subs coming in for both sides.

Fat lady is singing early.

SDSU won the turnover battles last year, but certainly not started that way this year.

Good news, is no injured Jacks this game.

[RabidRabbit]

ISU 30yd FG at about 11 min left.

ISU 37 SDSU 3

[GOKATS]

Looks like a good old fashioned ass kicking- sorry Rabbits.

[GSUhooligan]

the rabbits finally get a TD, put fail on the 2 pt conv.

37-9 Clones

[MSUBear42]

Sorry, Rabs

[RabidRabbit]

the rabbits finally get a TD, put fail on the 2 pt conv.

37-9 Clones



Then give up a 68 run up the middle for TD.

ISU 44 - SDSU 9

[RabidRabbit]

Bobbled Kick-off, makes it to 14 for Jacks start.

[RabidRabbit]

JaRon Harris picks up fumbled off tackle run, GOES TO THE HOUSE. 80 yd run.

2 pt conversion good.

Jacks up to 17, ISU 44.

[GSUhooligan]

One of the strangest plays I've seen in a while. SDSU fumbles, ISU tries to grab it tossing it in the air in the process. SDSU swoops in and takes it for six. 2 pt conv. good!

44-17 ISU 6:07 to go

[GOKATS]

ISU is just going to play it out, maybe try a few things & new players. Game over.

[RabidRabbit]

44 - 17 Cyclones over Jacks is final

5 turnovers, and 20 point off those turnovers super toasts Jacks.

24-17 would have been much more tolerable.

[elcid96]

That was U-G-L-Y. What happened S D State? Overated?

[RabidRabbit]

Some good news, only 43 yds difference in offensive yards.

3 punts averaged 51 yds by SDSU

Pretty even on offense vs defense.

ISU knew SDSU plays to look for, and the Cyclones capitalized in getting 5 turnovers.

Coach Stig interview coming up.

[RabidRabbit]

Some good defense, lots of sloppy play, especially 1st qtr, says Stig.

Need to convert those early breaks. If Jacks had converted the fumbled punt recovery in 1st qtr, may have changed course of game.

RR comment Wouldashouldacoulda

Third year in row of starting with loss. Need to not follow last two years start.

Rabbit fans, look for me at the Cereal Bowl for game vs Youngstown.

Night all

[PantherRob82]

bummer jacks. we were routin for you out in utah.

[AmsterBison]

Glaciers start more quickly than South Dakota State - they seem to get better as the season goes on though (Jackrabbits not glaciers).

[RabidRabbit]

That was U-G-L-Y. What happened S D State? Overated?

Nope, overrated Cyclones, they'll do much better than last year. over turned xlolx xlolx xnodx

Like 5 times over turned.

We'll see where Jacks fit when they open at Coughlin vs Youngstown St in the very FIRST EVER inaugural MoValley game. (No other conference game is there?)

I think the Cyclones are improved. Now we just need to figure out where these rabbits sit.

[stevdock]

5 turnovers?? I was watching the score of your game while ours was going on and all of a sudden it started to get out of hand quickly. I was wondering what happened. Well I still think you guys are a good team and should rebound from this. Too bad the schedule doesn't get any easier for you guys. And yes your game is the only conference game next week.

[Benne]

This hangover is for you Ryan Berry

[AggieFinn]

Berry bad, Berry bad...

tough one Jacks, a lot of good 'unfinished' drives.
