South Dakota colleges were all about football games and cold adult beverages during Homecoming Weekends.

South Dakota State Jackrabbits celebrated Hobo Days in Brookings and the Coyotes in Vermillion were all about D-Days at the University of South Dakota. While both teams won their games on the field, fans lost their step...or two.

The Coyotes of USD were celebrating all weekend long during D-Days and the Vermillion Police Department was part of the action. The men and women in blue took it upon themselves to join the party by live-tweeting the most ridiculous arrests and calls of the Homecoming Weekend.

It's never a good idea to mix alcohol and the law together. But at least the Vermillion Police Department had some fun with some of the top calls of the D-Days weekend.

Check out some of the top tweets from the Vermillion Police Department from D-Days weekend at USD. It's hilarious!

We've all had those wild nights and we all know the Vermillion Police Department had their work cut out for them this weekend. But at least they kept everyone entertained by live-tweeting the craziest moments of D-Days in Vermillion.

Whether you cheer for the Coyotes or Jackrabbits, always be smart when you're drinking. Don't do something you'll regret later.

Thanks to all the South Dakota law enforcement for keeping all football fans safe this weekend and every day!

Do You Know Your South Dakota College and University Mascots

The college football experience is an ultimate high for football fans and it takes several other teams to make that happen week after week during the season.

Just think about what goes into gameday.

First and foremost, the players and coaching staff who put in hours and hours of practice and training to play in front of their fans. Then there's field prep, game officials, live broadcasts, concessions, and on-the-field entertainment. Yep, entertainment.

Second to the game, who do you watch? The cheerleaders? The band at halftime? What about the mascot? That's a job not many people can do.

I asked Sioux Falls native and former Cagey mascot for the Sioux Falls Canaries and Little Red & Herbie for the Nebraska Huskers Nate Welch about being a mascot:

  • What does it take to be a mascot?
  • "Losing a bet or filling an opportunity!" Welch says, "An internal energized desire to love life. After meeting great performers who are introverts out of costume, they become the center of attention when they take the stage. And also feeding off the performance of others."
  • Why does the mascot never talk?
  • "Know your role and shut your mouth. You are there to entertain. Tell the story with your actions and not your voice."
  • Advice to someone putting on that costume for the first time?
  • "Remember you are now in a costume. Have fun. Otherwise, you're just a dork in tights. If the fur ain't flying you ain't trying."


So, can you name the mascots at our South Dakota Colleges and Universities? Check out the gallery below:
