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…
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 head out to Greeley, CO in Week 9 to take on a familiar foe in the Northern Colorado Bears. The Sioux and Bears were both members of the old NCC prior to UNC leaving to move up to the FCS level and eventually join the Big Sky. The Sioux will be joining the…
The Sioux kickoff the second half of the 2011 campaign by hosting the Cal-Poly Mustangs this Saturday at the Alerus Center. Game time is 1pm. The Sioux (4-2) are coming off a bye week.

We know it may seem strange to update everyone on special teams play but there were a few statistics that shouldn’t be ignored. Special Teams coordinator/former Sioux OLB Josh Kotelnicki has done an excellent job of getting his special teams to win the battle each and every week of the season. The Sioux are averaging 21.3…

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…
2012 could not have been laid out much better than it did for Sioux fans. They get 4 of the Top 6 teams in the Big Sky at home (Poly, NAU, UM, SUU). UND plays their first ever Big Sky game at Sacramento State on Sept 22, 2012. The current Sac State AD is former…
The annual Fighting Sioux Spring Game is coming up this weekend. Game time is 1pm at the Alerus Center. The football staff decided to change up the format this year. They made it into an actual “game” this year. The coaches split into two groups and held a draft to formulate two teams that will play…
Here a few belated impressions of Scrimmage #1 that was held last Saturday: Overall, the defense outplayed the offense. This is usually the case when it comes to spring ball and it is no different this year. The #1 defense looked pretty good. They had a handful of 3 and Outs and didn’t give up…
