bincitysioux Posted July 13, 2012 Posted July 13, 2012 Good ones. I forgot about Goodman. Also, excited to see Nichols this year. And our entire defensive backfield. I don't know if "excited" is how I would describe how I feel about the defensive backfield. Definately curious. Hopeful maybe? Quote
geaux_sioux Posted July 13, 2012 Posted July 13, 2012 I've seen excitement for Cummings so I looked him up and Seantrel Henderson was asked who his toughest opponent was and he said "Spencer Cummings from White Bear Lake. He's a real nice D end." That makes me really excited. He is a massive young man. He has bowling balls for shoulders. If he has been working hard on his speed he will be a handful at over 270 Quote
geaux_sioux Posted July 13, 2012 Posted July 13, 2012 Another DE that has me interested is Hartung. Benched almost 400 as a true freshman... I did hear that he has to build his legs up more to keep his anchor better. Lots of potential on the D line Quote
sioux24/7 Posted July 13, 2012 Posted July 13, 2012 I am also excited to see what Dwayne Brown can offer at DB. I believe he was close to playing last year as a true freshman. Also I would like to see Javen Butler play but who knows if that will happen. Quote
homer Posted July 13, 2012 Posted July 13, 2012 I don't know if "excited" is how I would describe how I feel about the defensive backfield. Definately curious. Hopeful maybe? That is more what I meant. Everytime I start to get real excited about next year I think about the DB's and that tempers my expectations. The potential is there. They are very good against the run but I need to see improvement from last year against the pass. I'm just ready to see what we have. Quote
UNDColorado Posted July 13, 2012 Posted July 13, 2012 That is more what I meant. Everytime I start to get real excited about next year I think about the DB's and that tempers my expectations. The potential is there. They are very good against the run but I need to see improvement from last year against the pass. I'm just ready to see what we have. I couldn't agree more. It did make me feel more optimistic with the signings of the two safeties Kennedy and Lewis as they look like pretty solid players. Time will tell; I just wish we didn't have to wait so long!! Quote
WeAreNorthDakota Posted July 13, 2012 Posted July 13, 2012 Which player is everybody looking forward to seeing the most this season? For me it's Jer Garman. I really wish he would have been used more last season or redshirted although I do understand why it was pulled. Everyone wearing a North Dakota jersey. I could not possibly be more excited for this season. 2 Quote
UNDvince97-01 Posted July 13, 2012 Posted July 13, 2012 Everyone wearing a North Dakota jersey. I could not possibly be more excited for this season. I'm really jacked up too. 2 Quote
geaux_sioux Posted July 15, 2012 Posted July 15, 2012 Can anyone remember a more anticipated football season in recent memory? Quote
FSSD Posted July 15, 2012 Posted July 15, 2012 On Friday, I got a letter from UND that looked like my season tickets. I was kind of execited as I open it and then it was just my champions club information - dang it - I guess I need to go do some more boating.. Quote
108498 Posted July 15, 2012 Posted July 15, 2012 I thought the first season of transition was more exciting. Quote
sioux24/7 Posted July 15, 2012 Posted July 15, 2012 I thought the first season of transition was more exciting. Who is this guy? 1 Quote
geaux_sioux Posted July 15, 2012 Posted July 15, 2012 travisWSN 'Joe Schobert of Waukesha West is most impressive offensive player so far. Also on my "most underrecruited" list.' I'm very excited for this recruiting class 1 Quote
FSSD Posted July 15, 2012 Posted July 15, 2012 Waukesha West's Joe Schobert ran four times for a team-high 53 yards, intercepted a pass and returned five punts for 92 yards. His most spectacular run came in the second quarter, when he leaped into the air to successfully hurdle an oncoming defender. "It was fun to play so many roles," Schobert said, "because I got to practice with the best players in the state at every position." http://www.jsonline.com/sports/preps/wisconsin-football-coaches-association-allstar-game-is-a-big-win-for-the-south-qc63eqn-162490976.html Quote
GeauxSioux Posted July 15, 2012 Posted July 15, 2012 A tweet from UNDFootball at the Big Sky meetings...Greg Hardin named to preseason All-Big Sky team released today here in Park City #BigSkyKickoff Quote
sioux24/7 Posted July 15, 2012 Posted July 15, 2012 Here's a link to the page - http://www.bigskyconf.com/news/2012/7/10/FB_0710124637.aspx It lists Hardin as a Senior, he is a Junior right? Quote
Wilbur Posted July 15, 2012 Posted July 15, 2012 I think the key player is Hanson. He has the keys to UND's season. I think they have all the talent in the world on offense....Hardin, Garman, Miller, Jackson. To me, if he can spread the ball around and provide enough of a threat in the passing game to where teams won't put 8 or 9 in the box, UND could be potent offensively. Quote
fightingsioux4life Posted July 15, 2012 Posted July 15, 2012 Can anyone remember a more anticipated football season in recent memory? A few years are close to this one. 1994...coming off of our first deep playoff run into the NCAA Semifinals, did it again. 1995...lots of returning talent, struggled more than they should have 1996...a total bust and waste of talented seniors 2001...first year in the Alerus Center. Some big home wins early on and it just got better and better 2004...Weston Dressler and a rock-solid defense, made an awesome run in the playoffs 2005...One of our most talented teams ever done in by the meltdown at home vs. Omaha and Pat Behrns Another chapter will be written in six short weeks!!!

fightingsioux4life Posted July 16, 2012 Posted July 16, 2012 2002....after winning their first National Title...this season becomes a bust. Good addition to my list. After the Potato Bowl beatdown at the hands of Central Washington, it was obvious that it was going to be a long season. Quote
Wilbur Posted July 16, 2012 Posted July 16, 2012 Good addition to my list. After the Potato Bowl beatdown at the hands of Central Washington, it was obvious that it was going to be a long season. I remember thinking during the CW meltdown that if Klosterman had to run for his life this much during the season he was going to get hurt.....I think it was pretty close to the next game that he was hurt at South Dakota State..... *Edit....it was three games later he was hurt in Brookings.

I was in Brookings for that game. He was hurt when he ran in the game-winning touchdown in the 4th quarter. I remember driving home afterwards in the autumn rain thinking that all hope of salvaging that season was gone. And I was right. Quote

Had the team had Klosterman healthy there is no way they lose to SCSU/Omaha/Minnesota State three weeks in a row. Heck, they probably could have backed their way into the playoffs some way some how. They still beat NDSU with a backup QB in Fargo.....I call the season a sucess. Quote

That was one of the worst Sioux-Bison games in my lifetime. Both teams had terrible seasons. Quote
