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.

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…

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…
The Sioux (6-3) head out to beautiful Davis, CA to take on the UC-Davis Aggies on Saturday at 4pm in a crucial Great West Conference game. Davis (3-6) is coming off their best effort of the year in a 24-17 upset home victory over Cal Poly. As usual, they are peaking at the end of the year…
As we tweeted earlier, Detroit Lakes linebacker Brian Labat has committed to UND. Our Detroit Lakes sources told us as much and it was later confirmed via Twitter by Dom Izzo at WDAY. Labat is a very athletic playmaker for the Lakers and probably projects as an OLB in the 3-4 with UND. The 6-2,…
The Fighting Sioux host Division 2 transition school Sioux Falls this weekend in a rematch of the 2009 game in which the Cougars came to the Alerus and took home a victory. USF has a variety of Division 1 and 2 transfers on their roster and are a talented bunch who are used to winning…
The Sioux escaped Greeley with a hard earned 27-25 victory on Saturday afternoon in a matchup of future Big Sky rivals. The Sioux took a commanding 21-7 lead in the 2nd quarter but the Bears fought back to eventually take the lead for the first time late in the 4th quarter. However, K Zeb Miller…
