ORU vs. South Dakota Rd 1

[theeagleman5]

ORU Ladies with a tough match up vs. the Coyotes on Sunday afternoon.....with 6 losses in a row....it would not appear that we are capable of the upset especially in front of a partisan USD crowd.....

And S D swept season series easily

Such a fun team to watch. Can score in bunches.

It will be a tough game.....but a winnable game for the ladies in blue!

Pretty sure Midco hired a USD assistant coach to do color during the broadcast. She spent the entire game talking about what USD needed to do to get back in it - and could barely contain her glee as South Dakota made a little run in the third quarter.

Can't you even fake a little unbiasedness for a national broadcast?

So let me get this straight:  it's possible in Sioux Falls to defeat a heavily-favored squad from one of the South Dakota schools?

Just checking... 

MAJOR props to Coach Musick for getting her girls to buy-in, and them showing everyone how it's done.

That must have been so fun for the ladies to quiet the partisan crowd - would have loved to hear the "O-R-U" chant as the clock would down!

Until Tuesday's championship games, the announcers are all Midco folks; and they bleed snowmelt.

Congrats ORU ladies...Miracles do happen...ORU wins by 23? Almost as crazy as scoring 2 runs on 17 hits....

We chanted! There just weren't many of us chanting.

Let me get this straight, we win by 23. Hannah Cooper scores 24. Midco opens the highlight reel with Grace Larkins and her 19 points.  Sports journalism at its best from Midco Sports.

They should have led with the fact ORU caused TWENTY ONE USD TURNOVERS!!!!!

Guys, keep in mind that (despite the ESPN+ link) they are STILL broadcasting these games throughout their Midco market and they are STILL pandering to those viewers.

Schools outside their footprint (ORU, KC, Denver, etc.) are considered the OPPONENT, and Midco is not about to say much good about them when they can instead prop up the local (ie Dakota and Minnesota) schools.  That's where their ad revenues come from:  sponsors in that market. 

We need Hobby Lobby to quit spending so much on the "He Gets Us" ad campaign and buy up some SERIOUS time on Midco!
