UND Fan

The UND Athletic Department gave these plaques to first-time scholarship fund contributors (now the Fighting Sioux Club) for many years. I think this practice was discontinued at least 15 years ago. I am sure they haven't been produced for years but I would think someone could make one for you!

You better go out and buy another set of season tickets! We need all the fans possible at our games!

I don't live in GF anymore but welcome to the city and hope you enjoy it! AND I hope you become a huge UND fan!

Thanks for the post - if you have any further info throughout the summer, let us know!

Are most of the UND FB players staying in town this summer, working out, etc.?

Classy comment!

Great photography!!

Excellent observation!!!

I would guess that Van Diest either decided he really wanted to stay in Helena or when he realized that he wasn't going to get the job, he decided to pull out (which is understandable). It sure appears the Lennon will be offered the job. It will be interesting what his answer will be. It will also be interesting to learn whether we are trying to do anything to convince him to stay with at UND!

Tibesar really does have a great resume (the Masters is a big plus - whether it reallys should be or not). I have no idea whether he would consider the UND job but, if Lennon leaves, we certainly should consider him!

That is correct. He has joined BankForward - a bank that will do a great deal for the community and for UND. This family-owned bank "does things right"!

Anyone know what Steve will be doing back in GF?

Any rumors floating around GF as to who the donor may be and for what purpose?

So that will get us to 10 games? What are the odds of finding a 11th?

For those of you who have seen her play, what are her strengths? What current/former Sioux player does she remind you of?

Hockey Mom - That is great advise for all the nay-sayers!

I was pleased to see that Drew Thomas placed in a track meet yesterday. I know he had some health problems. Are they all behind him? Any chance he will be back with the UND football team?

Your ladies are having an outstanding year - keep it going!!

It sounds like you need to transfer to UND!!!

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ While this was probably a legitimate stance to take (find a conference before making the move to DI), we have found that it wasn't realistic - for a variety of reasons. The primary reasons being - 1) with our geography, conferences aren't going to readily court UND due to travel costs, etc. and 2) our probationery period is not helpful to a conference. If we were located in other parts of the country, it would be a whole different story for any of the four ND/SD schools - conferences would likely be very interested. We were wrong so we have changed our mind - understandably so. Now, there are some who will tell you that we do have an "understanding" with a conference (probably the Big Sky) that we will be accepted in a couple of years. I doubt such an agreement exists, but who knows!

What a great game the Sioux played tonight! Kearney played very well and we won by 30+! Must have been one of their better performances in many years! If they continue to play like that, they will be tough to beat!

From what I saw on the internet, they only named four: Fisher from UNK, Kimbrough, Langen and MVP Maffin! There had to be more but...... I suppose they were players not in attendance.

Whatever we think or say on this website really doesn't matter at all. I am sure that the rivalry will resume in a few years. I would just as soon wait a few years until we have all of our scholarships in use. While I think we would be competitive, I expect the Bison would beat us the next 2-3 years. They should as they have had a jump start on us (our choice to lag behind!). Let's begin playing again when the "playing field" is level. More important, let's quit talking about it!!!!!

I would agree with your comment. Although this year's team had some talent, it was obvious that the squad needs a couple of leaders - players that will "step up" and turn those close losses into wins. I am not sure another year of all these guys "playing together" is the answer. For those who saw the team play often, who do you think may not be back? I would guess that Doyle is questionable due to his injury!

Was the Boyce defensive honor a surprise?
