Reusse: First-year coach Tim Polasek aims to lead North Dakota State’s return to top
Polasek, 44, was chosen as the new coach in December. The Bison went through the portal and came out with this mindset:
Whoever was showing up every day in NDSU’s new $55 million football facility, there would be no looking back — these were the players that would be getting the staff’s best shot.
“Kids want to be coached hard,” Polasek said. “You never hear from players, ‘You guys are being too hard on us.’ ”
South Dakota State? “They’ve been great, but in this league, it’s not one team,” Polasek said. “All the Dakota teams — South Dakota, North Dakota — are good. And Northern Iowa … I remember that being the last team you wanted to play.’’
Plus, it’s hard to look ahead a couple of months to a Jackrabbits’ visit to Fargo on Oct. 19, when his first game as a Bison head coach is Thursday in Boulder against Deion Sanders’ Colorado Buffaloes.
Eli Mostaert is back for sixth season as a defensive lineman. His twin brother, Will, is a defensive end. Their Lakeville North team beat Eden Prairie in the Class 6A game in the 2018 Prep Bowl.
Oklahoma didn’t suffer any strong wind damage this week, but wind farms in South Dakota certainly did.
Several wind turbines were toppled by the 130 MPH winds that hit the central part of the state Monday morning. They were described as straight line winds and not tornadoes. But the winds compared to those recorded in some tornadoes.
The 131-mph wind was recorded at Holabird in Hyde County at 6:15 a.m. local time.
A picture of the extensive damage showed at least 7 of the wind towers were bent over by the powerful Mother Nature.
According to a report by Energy News Beat, storm chaser Jakob McMillin documented the scene in a widely shared post on X (formerly Twitter), showing multiple wind turbine towers collapsed or heavily damaged, with blades and structural debris scattered across the prairie. In replies to his post, McMillin stated he observed “over 20” turbines destroyed or critically damaged.
The Affected Wind Farm
The damaged facility is the South Dakota Wind Energy Center (also known as the Highmore Wind Energy Project or Highmore Wind Farm), located approximately 10 miles south of Highmore.
- Number of turbines: 27
- Turbine model: GE Vernova 1.5s (1.5 MW each)
- Total nameplate capacity: 40.5 MW
- Commissioning year: 2003 (South Dakota’s first major wind farm)
- Owner/Operator: NextEra Energy Resources (formerly FPL Energy)
- Power purchaser: Basin Electric Power Cooperative

Deliberately slowed rush-hour traffic in downtown Sioux Falls is serving as a preview for commuters ahead of a major, yearslong overhaul of the city’s aging viaduct overpasses.
And Downtown Sioux Falls Inc. is using the opportunity to study traffic patterns in advance of the reconstruction of the 10th and 11th street overpasses on the east end of the core commercial district. Though the state-led project is still years away, the temporary traffic-calming measures are helping engineers gather data on vehicle speeds, volumes and behaviors.
