Great update. Thanks, Teeder!

SS.com posters have always been generous givers.

Teeder, where art thou?

Same for me coming from Kansas City.

Got it. Thanks.

Urwiler the 2nd? Whose the third?

Aw, come on; we already have 5 hogs.

The kid's a playmaker.

By my back-of-the-envelope calculation, fall camp should only be about two weeks away. Will be interesting to see how many of the injured are ready to go, including Izzy and Mortel. The 360 guys think Izzy should be good to go, but are unsure about Mortel. Who else is recovering from significant injury from last season?

Yes, thanks! I remember watching Campbell win it on TV against several players from big schools; produced some good old UND pride! Also remember Muckenhirn beating Southern Cal 2-1 or 1-0 as part of winning 2 out of 3 at Southern Cal in our last season of baseball.

I know that it didn't make financial sense, but I'm one of those dumbos that hated to see baseball cut. Dodson was an outstanding recruiter, getting good talent to come to a (far) northern school like UND. Amazing to see how well some of his final recruits did at major schools the last couple of years. I remember 3 or 4 summers ago how his powerhitting first baseman ( I forget his name) won the college home run derby against players from P5 and other conferences. And I read recently that one of his lefthanded pitchers (again, I forget his name) has made it to a AAA team.

Softball field/stadium? Pretty luxurious/impressive, if so. That would be a lot money to put into a sport that doesn't draw anybody.

Sounds like a kid with the kind of character that any coach would love to get.

Good post. Changes have been made and the ship is headed in the right direction. And, as you mentioned, the recruiting season is off to an excellent start, which bodes well for the future.

Any word on whether Izzy'll be good to go?

Thanks. That's what I thought.

Do you know where John Burckhard was from?

Thanks for posting this, as I never got to see them play. Very fun to watch.

For sure! And this looks like a very good hire to me; he has brought fairly high-level success to the two programs that he has headed.

Looks like it was actually by Schloss, but I'm thinking that may be a mistake?

No kiddin'.

What about London?

Glad your son chose to come to UND. He helped create the memories that you speak of, and they were definitely great memories that we will never forget. Thanks for your comments!

I've emailed Chaves. I'd encourage anybody else that likes McCollum to do the same. You never know.
