One week into the 2013 season, and the University of South Dakota Coyotes are already in the win column.

COLUMN: USD battling through transition phase
I made the long 320-mile drive Aug. 23 from Eagan, Minn. — Yes, the same Twin Cities town that Jackrabbit star running back Zach Zenner is from — back down to Vermillion. As a junior, I guess I’m now considered an upperclassman. This got me thinking, with all these incoming first-years, how many actually know […]

COLUMN: The granddady of them all
Most people that come to the University of South Dakota are from within the state. That means you are well aware of the rivalry between the Coyotes and the SDSU Jackrabbits. And if you aren’t from the state of South Dakota, and aren’t truly aware of the great rivalry, well, let’s just say it doesn’t […]
