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.

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…
Just a few thoughts from us heading into fall camp thus far.

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…
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…
