<p>South Dakota State's roster full of youngsters and rookie starters looks green, while several USD players are leaving -- perhaps for literally greener pastures (NIL money?).</p><p>Those are a couple headlines from spring football at the Rushmore State Div. I schools, according to Sioux Falls Live's Matt Zimmer, who joins John Gaskins for another "Nobody Listening Anyway" pow wow from Gateway Lounge. </p><p>Who and what stood out at SDSU, and what do we make of quatterback Chase Mason so far? And what does the exodus from Vermillion lead us to believe about the nature of FCS and college athletics?</p><p>Yes, it delves into another NIL and portal transfer, but we promise an entertaining one. </p><p>Plus, you don't want to miss Zim's rant about the Twins, which aims squarely at "dumb" owner Joe Pohlad.</p><p></p>

<p>Woops! We failed to post the reaction show to Eric Henderson leaving SDSU for Drake and the near-immediate hiring of Bryan Petersen as his on-staff replacement.</p><p>Are Jackrabbits fans spoiled?</p><p>They are treated to national championship football teams and every-other-year NCAA Tournament berths for men's basketball.</p><p>Yet, there's still frustration among some about the football and basketball coaches leaving after 2-6 years.</p><p>How do we make sense of it, and of Eric Henderson leaving for Drake, a job that seems "barely" a notch above the SDSU job (and in some areas, like arena and fan support, maybe a notch below)?</p><p>There's real "life-changing money" to all this... and how much does that matter?</p><p>Was Bryan Petersen the right hire? How much does his junior college head coaching experience matter?</p><p>And what kind of a choice would "Coach Klink," the 19-year assistant, have been?</p><p>John Gaskins and Matt Zimmer sort at all that, then squabble about the importance of a mid-major presence in the NCAA men's basketball tournament.</p><p></p>

<p>Is SDSU vs UConn the biggest sporting event in the history of South Dakota State — and maybe even the state of South Dakota — considering the Jackrabbits' opponent, the stakes, and the national stage this game is on?</p><p>Yes, there have been football FBS national titles and Div. II men's and women's national titles, plus other matchups with big-name, top-notch big league schools in the big sports. But this is the all-time women's national program (record 11 titles), still coached by the inarguable best (or most decorated) coaching titan of the entire sport, in the NCAA Tournament, not just a November or December non-conference game.</p><p>This is Geno Auriemma and Paige Bueckers in the NCAA Tournaand a No. 2 seed that could win the national title!</p><p>Matt Zimmer is there to talk about how historically relevant Monday night's game is, what kind of chances the Jackrabbits have, and how SDSU socred a satisfying but not necessarily surprising Jacks win over Oklahoma State on Saturday.</p><p>Plenty of comparisons between the SDSU and UConn programs and coaches, and plenty of insight into some of the things Auriemma and Aaron Johnston and SDSU players had to say in his Sunday pre-game press conference, attended mostly by South Dakoa media.</p><p>Would a victory be the greatest moment in South Dakota State athletics history — if not in state of South Dakota history.</p><p>So much big game to discuss!</p><p></p>
