Happy Hour Best of: USD legend Chris Streveler

from Happy Hour with John Gaskins · host Sioux Falls Live Staff

John returns from his vacation in Palm Springs tomorrow, so today we take you back to last December and our exciting chat with USD's Chris Strevler. That conversation went like this:     The swashbuckling, clutch playmaking. The larger-than-life personality. The fur coat with bare skin underneath in the sub-zero temperatures in the Winnipeg Blue Bombers' CFL title parade.   There is only one Chris Streveler, and the South Dakota Coyotes enjoyed the spoils of Strevy in the program's first winning season in Div. I, first FCS Playoffs appearance and first D1 postseason win during his record-smashing senior season of 2017.   The Chicagoland native's two-year USD career ended in a blaze of glory as he threw for 520 yards and five touchdown passes — adding 52 rushing yards and a running score — in a wild comeback that fell short in a 1,300-yard, shootout-for-the-ages 54-42 loss at Sam Houston State in the Round of 16.   Streveler has vivid memories of that game and others from his indelible USD career in a 45-minute interview with Happy Hour host John Gaskins. He also regales with stories of his recruitment to Vermillion from the University of Minnesota, where he had switched to play wide receiver after losing battles to be the Gophers' starter.   What were his first impressions of program builder Bob Nielson and the DakotaDome? And what are his impressions of the program — particularly current quarterback Aidan Bouman — eight years later under Travis Johansen, with a surging squad that has reached the quarterfinals for the third consecutive season?   And then, there was that victory parade in Winnipeg that made Streveler an even bigger legend both in Canada and South Dakota. What led to his hypothermic fashion choice? And what marching order did he and teammates ignore (well, miss) to ensure an epic celebration?   You'll get the full Strevy, and you'll like it. Even if you're not a Coyote fan. Well... Jackrabbit fans may not love his memories of a 31-28 loss to SDSU that senior season.
