I'm sure bluehatman won't agree, but, I bet we will say the same about U of North Dakota and U of South Dakota once they move up.IMHOTue, 04 Mar 2008 12:50:19 GMTLeatherfacehttp://www.leathernecknation.com/Topic2670-12-1.aspxYes, I agree Leatherface. SDSU NDSU great schools great athletics. SDSU having a mis-step out of the gate with BB, but hey we are usually bringing up the rear so maybe we can encourage each other.<br><br>Was unsure initially how things would play out with these two schools that we now share a home with in the Gateway and Summit. However, both schools have exceeded my expectations. Both could have easily made the transition a decade earlier IMO.<br><br>This comming Gateway season will be exciting!Mon, 03 Mar 2008 07:31:38 GMTwestern-101http://www.leathernecknation.com/Topic2670-12-1.aspxTwo fine additions to the Gateway and Summit. Looks like NDSU has been a little stronger than SDSU. Football,men's BB, men and women indoor champs in track. Very strong program athletic program.<br><br>SDSU has a fine fan base, and demonstrated many success's too.<br><br>Congrats to both schools.Let's see how they do this spring.Sun, 02 Mar 2008 20:30:21 GMTLeatherface
