NDSU for the Dakota Marker Game and USeD for the Little Brown Jug, both of which currently reside in Brookings


Dakota Marker

Technically the Marker hasn’t been around all that long, started in 2004 and SDSU has a record of 6-8 in Marker specific games. The playoff games don’t count towards the Marker.
This series has been played since 1903 with 107 meetings between the two. NDSU leads 60-42-5. The game is generally known nationally and a very hyped matchup every year between two top ten programs more often than not recently. Considered the “brotherly” rivalry, it’s generally been the friendlier rivalry between fanbases. That is starting to change IMO, you can sense the tension and dislike grow a little more every year. Especially since the Marker has changed its address to Brookings the last two years.

SDSU/USeD

This one is a little older, going all the way back to 1889, with 113 meetings between the two programs. SDSU is on a 9 game win streak and has lost a total of three games to the yotes since 1989. The rivalry was put on hold when SDSU made the jump to FCS until both teams were in the MVFC. The last loss for SDSU in this series was November 4, 2000. That means when the game is played this year, there will be kids who are legal to vote and buy cigarettes who were born after the last yote victory over SDSU. SDSU leases the series 54-52-7.

To explain the difference in the rivalry’s to people who aren’t Jacks fans I say this. We want to beat the cows in the worst way and love beating them. We never want to lose to the yotes because that would be embarrassing.

*Thats just my personal feelings, but I feel it echoes the general fanbase.
