The Rant: Enjoy landscape while you can
Dear facilities management, I’d like to change things up and rant about something positive at the University of South Dakota for once. This campus is beautiful. As the transition from summer to fall draws to completion, and I walk to and from class, it’s hard not to notice the gorgeous aesthetics of USD’s campus. The […]
In the Know & In the Dark
In the know. Coming back to school after a three-day break makes a Tuesday feel like a Monday. In the dark. A three-day break still leads to a four-day school week. In the know. The Coyotes are now 3-3 after winning their game against Indiana State. In the dark. Because of the three-day weekend, there were only about 100 […]
Overheard
Here you’ll find the weirdest, funniest and stupidest things that we’ve heard during the week. Context is for suckers. “Can I just drop out and be a male stripper?” — Al Neuharth Media Center “Are any of you planning on being drug addicts or can we watch this movie now?” — Churchill-Haines “It looks like […]
USD continues to roll, win five straight
Friday night was another exciting night at the DakotaDome, as the University of South Dakota women’s volleyball team beat Denver University, taking first place in the Summit League Conference. Head Coach Matt Houk said Denver was a good match for the coyotes. “The team is very focused, and they’re onto the next stage and preparing […]
Running on familiar ground
Cross-country meets are unlike many other Division-I sporting events. They don’t blast celebratory music, include halftimes with dance teams or rely on cheerleaders to pump up home crowds. No, cross-country meets run a little bit differently. “We aren’t in the process of the refs are here, the game ball is here, let’s go out and […]

With a 3-3 record (2-1), the Coyotes have already tripled last season’s total of one. Head Coach Joe Glenn said he is thrilled that the hard work is finally starting to pay off. “I […]
Coyotes return home after four game slide
After being on the road since Oct. 6, the University of South Dakota women’s soccer team will return home for a match against Denver University Oct. 20. The Coyotes are currently 5-6-3 following four consecutive losses, including a pair of one score losses against rivals South Dakota State and North Dakota State Oct. 11 and […]
Roster questions highlight preseason
After two full weeks of practice, the Coyote men’s basketball team is beginning to answer some of the preseason questions. The biggest of which is the team’s starting lineup. There are a few position locks, but for the most part, head coach Joey James says it is an open competition. “Generally there are two or […]
Friendship strains in college
Most people, if not all, are guilty of premature judgement. Judgments could last a split second or last a lifetime, but we all make judgments about other human beings. These opinions of others could be altered by what another person is holding back. On numerous occasions, especially when in a fight with a friend, I […]
Rambling Anna: The bucket list conundrum
Bucket lists have become a popular thing, so my roommates and I — all seniors — decided to create one for ourselves. The problem is, we’re all starting to come to terms with our age and the fact that sometimes it’s just really nice to spend a weekend doing absolutely nothing. For instance, back in […]
