Ask Chase Mason about his performance in his first career South Dakota State start, or about his cohesion with a lot of other new starters on his offense, or Montana State's defense — you know, standard game week interview fare — and he gives thoughtful yet concise answers. Ask the Jackrabbits' uber-talented quarterback about what new head coach Dan Jackson and late running back Nate White mean to him and SDSU, and Mason gives you particularly deep, profound insight and stories.

It was no Mona Lisa, that University of Sioux Falls 27-21 season-opening victory at Black Hills State last Thursday. As third-year USF head coach Jim Glogowski puts it, the win was more like your little kid's finger painting. Messy, but it makes you proud enough to hang on the refridgerator. That is a classic glimpse into "Coach Glo." He had a few other memorable one-liners about the state of the Cougars in a nearly 30-minute conversation with Happy Hour host John Gaskins. Specifically, how did the

But are the days of this being an FCS game numbered? Will it be an in-conference FBS game (Mountain West, anyone?) within five years? Happy Host John Gaskins thinks so, and explains why it will be a good thing for SDSU and its fans. Meanwhile, former SDSU quarterback Mark Gronowski's FBS debut was not a distaster, but it

As inevitable as the sun rising in the east and setting in the west, Jeff Fylling's dulcet tones hummed through radio and internet airwaves on a college football Saturday in Sioux Falls last week as he sat in a booth and called an Augustana game at Kirkeby-Over Stadium. But a year ago, that was as far from inevitable as possible for a man who has been the venerable Voice of the Vikings for 40 years. Fylling sat out both the football and basketball seasons as he battled cancer, and for a few months

So, South Dakota was humbled by the No. 16 FBS team in the nation 55-7 in a hostile environment on Saturday to start the Travis Johansen era at 0-1. What does the first-time head coach make of the loss at Iowa State? And what now? Johansen joined Happy Hour host John Gaskins for a 22-minute conversation to break down the trip to Ames: Early success, then "self-inflicted wounds"... How can they be fixed/prevented?

It was not a pretty first game for most of the Div. I football teams and players of interest in South Dakota. But it was a "just win, baby" week for some. No. 3 South Dakota State stopped the "Go Go" offense of No. 15 Sacramento State all night, but the Jackrabbits didn't exactly make chest-thumping offensive waves themselves. How does that translate to a road game at perennial Top 5 powerhouse Montana State, who was pulverized 59-13 at FBS No. 7 Oregon? FCS No. 4 South Dakota threw Iowa State for

Are we there yet? Eight months of breathless anticipation has led to football fanatics foaming at the mouth for an actual game. We're almost there, and neither of South Dakota's two Div. I teams are easing into the season against punching bags from Sloppy Joe State on Saturday. Both games are seeping with scintillating storylines, particularly for both Rushmore State quarterbacks. FCS No. 3 South Dakota State is anywhere between a 3-point and 32-point home favorite — depending on which odds you

Aidan Bouman — stop if you've heard this — has a once-in-a-lifetime chance to take down the Big 12 school that initially took him in as a four-star prep QB from Minnesota. In a one-on-one interview with Happy Hour host John Gaskins, Bouman explains why he left Ames for Vermillion two years ago, explains his emotions of returning to play on the big stage he thought he would star, and how he can lead a team with high

USD's Aidan Bouman — stop if you've heard this — has a once-in-a-lifetime chance to take down the Big 12 school that initially took him in as a four-star prep QB from Minnesota. How can the Cycolones prevent that, and what did we learn from ISU in their white-knuckle 24-21 win over Kansas State in Ireland last week?

As we celebrate Saturday's kickoff to the 2025 college football season, the fans of both of South Dakota's Division I teams may just have Nashville and the FCS National Championship on their mind. They should. Both South Dakota State and South Dakota fell one win short of playing for the title last year and both are ranked in the preseason FCS Top 5. If you take a wider view of the college football landscape, it is also easy and logical to wonder just how much longer SDSU and USD — particularly the

He's back! — just in time for his debut as FCS No. 5 South Dakota's head coach and his first-ever game as a head coach, period. While Travis Johansen spent over 25 minutes last week with Happy Hour digging in to his first eight months in that role and how he'll handle it on gamedays, this week's one-on-one with host John Gaskins focuses on his first opponent. Iowa State is coming off an 11-win season in which it shared the Big 12 regular season title and enters Saturday already 1-0 in 2025 after a

Will Saturday be another story of the "farm kids" from South Dakota being underestimated by a bunch of thoroughbred athletes from California? The Dan Jackson Era and Chase Mason era at South Dakota State opens with a likely sold-out home game against Sacramento State, a 3-9 team from last year with over 50 FBS transfers and a brand new coach that is rated No. 15 in the preseason polls. With so many new starters on each side, it is tough to accurately predict may unfold, but Sioux Falls Live sports

Death. Taxes. A winning season for University of Sioux Falls football. These are some of the inevitable truths about life, at least the last 30 years, during which USF has only had one non-winning record. That was two years ago in the first season of current coach Jim Glogowski, whose second squad last season turned the 3-8 record upside down to 8-3. The 2025 squad is picked to finish fifth out of 14 teams and kicks off the season at Black Hills State on Thursday. With a new season comes renewed
