UND Football recently released their official 2012 roster. After scouring the list we came across a few things. For the first time in a long time, it appears the entire signing class of 2012 is going to be on campus come fall camp. Usually there is one defection sometime during the summer months due to homesickness, sport…
The Big Sky Conference released their 2012 Football Preseason Polls on Tuesday. There were two different polls, one by the media and another by the head coaches from the Big Sky. UND finished #6 in the media poll and #10 in the coaches poll. We feel UND should have been around #6-7 in the preseason polls. #1-5 in…
There has been a ton of stuff going lately with the UND Football program behind the scenes so we figured we better try to keep everyone up on it. We apologize for having to consolidate all the topics into one but time restraints have kept us from posting individually as they happened. The Big Sky…
(Our apologies for the “Men Without Hats” reference, we just couldn’t help ourselves) The UND Football team has signed two junior college safeties to add depth to a position that was badly in need of it. William Lewis (5′-11″-180) of Los Medanos College and Clordion Kennedy (5’11”-195) of Contra Costa College both officially joined the UND Football…

The much anticipated vote on the future of the Fighting Sioux nickname has finally been decided. The people of North Dakota voted overwhelmingly in favor of retiring the nickname with the final vote tally being 67% in favor and 33% opposed to retiring the nickname. The Grand Forks Herald article can be found here. This is a bittersweet day for…
We have not seen any official confirmation yet but it appears via twitter that UND has gotten a commitment from JUCO safety Clordion Kennedy (5’11”-200) of Contra Costa College in San Pablo, CA, which is just north of Oakland. We do not know much about Kennedy other than he was First Team All-Bay Valley as a sophomore…
The first unofficial FCS preseason poll has come out for the 2012 season. AnyGivenSaturday, a website/forum devoted to FCS football, came out with their poll recently and the North Dakota Fighting Sioux were ranked 34th. With the forum members being the voters it is somewhat subjective but seems to be fairly accurate. We would probably have…
Now that the school year is officially over we are going to look ahead to what will be happening over the next three months. Fall Camp usually begins the first week of August meaning we are only about 12 short weeks away. We continue to hear the Sioux are looking to bring in some help…
Just weighing in on what we saw and heard throughout spring ball practices and after the spring game. We feel these guys saw their stock rise from the start to finish: DISCLAIMER – We are only addressing guys that were off the radar or had a lot to prove and did so. Upperclassmen who were…
