As we were the first to report via Twitter yesterday, Harvey, ND product Tucker Nordby, a 6’6″ 235 pound TE/DE for Hornets Head Coach Brad Sandy, has given UND a verbal commitment to play football starting next fall. Nordby is a 2-time ND All-State selection at the TE spot and also is a talented basketball…
The Sioux have recently received a commitment from junior college defensive lineman Euylan (EJ) Welch. Welch, from Mesabi Range CTC in Minnesota, goes 6’2″ 285 and was an all-conference and honorable mention all-american performer at Mesabi Range. The Biwabik, MN native should be ready to go next semester for spring ball. Welch appears to have…
For this year’s freshman class, the redshirt year is finally over from a football standpoint. In the rear-view mirror is what is no doubt the toughest year for any college athlete on and off the field. Scout team and freshman weight training is over and these guys are now considered 2nd year freshman in the…
Time to start speculating on possible replacement games for SD Mines and/or Central Arkansas (if true about the UCA buyout). We have previously stated our reason(s) for replacing the Mines game. The most obvious direction for scheduling a replacement(s) would be to start in the Big Sky. Once the future Big Sky schedules were released,…
As has been recently reported, the Sioux got an early commitment from QB Ryan Bartels of Sycamore High School in Sycamore, Illinois. Bartels, 6’4″-210lbs, is the second QB commit in the class of 2012 as Joe Mollberg of Detroit Lakes commited earlier this fall. Bartels also had an offer from Indiana State. Bartels threw for 1,601…
On Saturday Sioux fans got treated to by far the most entertaining game of the entire 5-year transition. The Sioux made a comeback for the ages to beat South Dakota 38-37. The Sioux were up 17-7 early in the 2nd quarter but down 34-17 at the half. It was a wild game with HUGE ups and…
We saw it last season at this time when Big Sky conference member Montana (7-4) was passed over by the FCS playoff selection committee because of its lack of 7 Division 1 wins. Their crushing 73-2 victory over Division II Western State was deemed a ‘check mark’ against them on their resume by the playoff selection committee….
Well, here we are – Week 12 – the last game of the season. The last game of the 5 year transition is finally here and it is only fitting that it be vs. the #24 South Dakota Coyotes (6-4), who #22 UND (7-3) entered into this transition with and have had several memorable games with over that…
We were notified this afternoon from a reliable source and thus have reason to believe that Central Arkansas has bought out their return trip to The Alerus Center next season, which was set for September 8th, 2012. The game was scheduled to be the 2nd game of the year in the inaugural Big Sky season…
The Sioux went out to California this weekend and took care of business in downing the UC Davis Aggies 14-7. It wasn’t a pretty game by any means but it was a victory, a road victory in the conference. This is a game that the Sioux would have lost in the past. The defense really…
