What is there to say that hasn't already been said about South Dakota's 24-17 win over South Dakota State on Saturday, or already been written in columns like this one by Matt Zimmer or this one by John Gaskins?   As it turns out, of course, plenty. In their weekly "Nobody's Listening Anyway" podcast from Gibs Sports Bar in Sioux Falls, Zim and John sink their teeth into the following aftermatch topics: * Are both teams now playoff-worthy at seven wins apiece, no matter what happens in the No. 17 Coyotes' final game at No. 21 Southern Illinois on Saturday, or the No. 16 Jackrabbits' two games remaining against No. 14 Illinois State and at No. 13 North Dakota? * Why does Zim feel USD has what it takes to go on a run and contend for the national championship? * For that matter, what can SDSU's ceiling still be, with or without Chase Mason? * Would SDSU have won the game if Chase Mason had played? * How can the Jacks win either or both of their last two games if Chase Mason doesn't return? * How do we look at NDSU and UND after the Fighting Sioux almost took down the Bison? * Should Jacks fans be upset about the coaching this year, particularly the last three games? * How do we now look at the final season of Aidan Bouman and his USD legacy no matter what? * How do we see the Missouri Valley Football Conference's quality now that we've seen several Top 25 teams play each other close? * Is NDSU still head-and-shoulders above the rest of the Valley, if not the entire FCS? Then, some words about Augustana and University of Sioux Falls suffering blowout home losses in the snow. How much do those losses hurt the Div. II Sioux Falls teams' postseason picture? Next, a review of the wins for No. 1 Brandon Valley and No. 2 Lincoln in the Class 11AAA state semifinals, setting up a rematch of last year's championship game, where the Patriots repeated as champions. Will it be a Lincoln three-peat?  Mark Gronowski continued to rip off monster runs and even had a couple clutch passes in Iowa's 18-16 loss to Oregon. Is Tim Tebow (Light) a fair comparison for what the former Jackrabbit has brought to Iowa City?  Even further, have the Hawkeyes wasted Gronowski's arm and throwing ability by becoming so run-heavy?  Finally, an examination of the wild pendulum swings of J.J. McCarthy. After a dagger-throwing, season-saving win in Detroit, the Vikings quarterback regressed to rookie mode in Sunday's loss to Baltimore, but how much was he really to blame? How much slack should we cut him and how much time should we give him? And we dare bring it up — can we now say things would have gone better if Minnesota signed Aaron Rodgers?
