The Sioux took care of Drake 16-0 last night in a fairly uneventful game. Here are some of our thoughts: Overall, the defense was pretty good. They didn’t give up much and when Drake did complete a pass there were hardly any yards after catch. Tackling was very good for the first game of the year. …
The Fighting Sioux open the season on Thursday night at home against an FCS opponent, the Drake Bulldogs. The Dogs come into the game with some momentum based on their 7-4 finish a year ago. They are picked 3rd in the Pioneer League preseason poll. 4th year coach Chris Creighton has done a nice job since taking over for…
We are 6 days away from the season opener for the Sioux. They open the season next Thursday at home – 7pm vs. the Drake Bulldogs. We will have our usual writeup on the Sioux opponent for the week. Based on what we have seen and read about them they are a Shotgun/Pistol formation team –…
We came up with a list of local (relatively speaking) 2012 high school seniors who might be “under the radar” that UND may be watching this year when the high school football season ramps up. A handful of these kids have probably attended UND’s camps and may or may not be getting looks for scholarships,…
After the first scrimmage we thought we would share some defensive thoughts with everyone. There is not nearly as much to talk about on the defensive side as the scheme is the same as it has been for the last 20 years – the 3-4. They appear to be doing the same things as far…
With the first week of practice, first “two a days” and first scrimmage in the rearview mirror, we’ve now had a chance to report on what we have seen and heard from both sides of the ball. The offense has definitely gravitated back to the style that was used throughout the 2000’s under Coach Mussman’s…
Just a few thoughts from us heading into fall camp thus far. We will followup shortly with what we have seen and heard so far from both sides of the ball in practice: The defensive line, as outlined here, will be very talented and no doubt one of the best starting fronts in recent memory. Brenneman, Bellmore,…

We have acquired a letter that former UND football player and State Senator Mac Schneider sent to Commissioner Doug Fullerton of the Big Sky Conference. Schneider spoke out against HB 1263, which required that UND be named the Fighting Sioux, in the last legislative session. Â HB 1263 ultimately passed and now UND is stuck…
