bincitysioux Posted September 23, 2011 Share Posted September 23, 2011 I echo all that! Too bad they couldn't have had the HOF induction on a BYE week for Dale Lennon's team. Would have been great to see him back in town to be a part of this....................... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cratter Posted September 23, 2011 Share Posted September 23, 2011 Speaking of which, I wonder why UND and Souther Illinois haven't scheduled a home and home yet. (sorry slight off topic). I too am very proud of that team. Greatest in all of Sioux football history!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I too am very proud of that team. Greatest in all of Sioux football history!!! They probably haven't because SIU MIGHT not be interested in coming up here. Who knows though...It'd be a great homecoming for Lennon. UND has had some good teams, they might be the best, they might not be, but they did everything they possibly could to prove they are the best UND has put out there, they won the championship! Something those players can be very proud of for sure, fans who were along for the ride will probably always have good memories of that team! -Johnboy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That 2001 SIoux team rocked!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
airmail Posted September 23, 2011 Share Posted September 23, 2011 I'd love to see the video of the last couple plays of "the drive" complete with Ed S.'s play by play. I'll never forget the people in my house for the football game going absolutely nuts during those plays. Ball is snapped - 20 people sitting down in their seats, secretly praying that we keep the ball moving... by the time he was tackled, 20 people were all standing within inches of the tv screaming, cheering, spilling beer, high fiving and God knows what else. After the touchdown, it was was mayhem. It was absolutely incredible. Congratulations to the 2001 team - you really made us proud to support Sioux football.
