Sioux10Fan Posted March 26, 2013 Posted March 26, 2013 Spring practice starts at 6:00 am on the Monday after Easter. Pushed back a week due to weather. Quote
Sioux10Fan Posted March 26, 2013 Posted March 26, 2013 I received pictures of the new lockerroom but do not know how to post them here. Looks very nice. Will be a nice improvement for the team. One interesting bit of trivia is that the shirt hooks are engraved with HOKA HEY. UND may have dropped the Sioux nickname, but the heritage lives on. Hoka Hey (pronounced Hawka Hey) is from the Indian language of the Lakota Tribe and as used by Crazy Horse as a battle cry would have translated as “It’s a good day to die.” It was used to proclaim no fear of the future, or so to speak “bring it on.” In the Lakota’s everyday speech, HOKA HEY translated as “the best is yet to come.” We feel the best horses are yet to come and we are ready to face the challenge – so HOKA HEY. 2 Quote

CMSioux Posted March 27, 2013 Posted March 27, 2013 So how do we get the cheer Hoka Hey into regular useage at games? Talk about having special special and unique for the teams (and a way to preserve the Sioux heritage). Quote

jdub27 Posted March 27, 2013 Posted March 27, 2013 UND Sports Spring Football Preview Spring Football Prospectus Of note just glancing through the preview, Mackey will be moving to safety, Sparks will have a good shot at seeing increased playing time, Dustin Adams will be competing right away for playing time and surprisingly no mention of Mike Edwards. Haven't looked through the prospectus yet, but Tom Miller tweeted that Oliver (WR), Tuilagi (LB), Jablonski (LB), Andrews (LB), Kennedy (DB) and Hartung (DL) are no longer on the roster. Quote

Ummm....your first link needs to be fixed. Quote
MoSiouxFan Posted March 27, 2013 Posted March 27, 2013 Looks like Pecosky's being converted to fullback, according to the roster. Quote
jdub27 Posted March 27, 2013 Posted March 27, 2013 Ummm....your first link needs to be fixed. Fixed. A few of the many that stick out: If the prospectus is right, it shows that Mollberg has put on 37lbs going from 195 to 232 and it looks to be accurate. Wow. What a tank. Dwayne Brown is up 18lbs Labat and Coyle are both up 20lbs. Meehan is down 12lbs and Walker is down 15lbs. Quote
bincitysioux Posted March 27, 2013 Posted March 27, 2013 Damon Andrews had pretty good year as a freshman. Bummer to see him depart. Wasn't the Oliver kid at WR supposed to be pretty good also? Quote

I think Oliver was supposed to be good, but that class had 3 good recievers with Golladay and Fletcher and now throw Robertson in as well. Granted Golladay is now a year ahead of him playing-wise. Still stinks to lose guys that have that kind of size. Wish him the best. Quote
MadScout03 Posted March 28, 2013 Posted March 28, 2013 Anyone know why the guys who left the team did so? Seemed to me guys like Jablonski and Kennedy were getting some playing time, but certainly Damon Andrews was. And wasn't Tuilagi a big pickup for us? Maybe things just didn't work out for them, either academically or athletically...I guess those names are just kind of a surprise to me, especially give Quote
bincitysioux Posted March 28, 2013 Posted March 28, 2013 If I recall correctly, Jablonski and Kennedy were dismissed by Coach Mussman shortly after the season ended...... Quote

The other guys were fat that needed to be trimmed. Quote

geaux_sioux Posted March 28, 2013 Author Posted March 28, 2013 Tuilagi transferred to Southern Utah, he had family playing there. O yea. He transferred out and was not removed from the team. Forgot about him Quote
siouxfan55 Posted March 28, 2013 Posted March 28, 2013 I hope to see UND's #1 fan kauk out for the first sping football practice this season! Quote
The Sicatoka Posted March 28, 2013 Posted March 28, 2013 I think the WR from Alaska should switch to DB so we could have all four guys with that last name in the secondary. It'd be a Brown-out. Quote
puck Posted March 28, 2013 Posted March 28, 2013 I think the WR from Alaska should switch to DB so we could have all four guys with that last name in the secondary. It'd be a Brown-out. How easy would Hammer have the call... Brown is back in coverage.... and Brown with the tackle. Quote
bincitysioux Posted March 28, 2013 Posted March 28, 2013 How easy would Hammer have the call... Brown is back in coverage.... and Brown with the tackle. I think it probably would be more like, "Brown-er" or "Brown-ie"................... Quote
jodcon Posted March 28, 2013 Posted March 28, 2013 I think it probably would be more like, "Brown-er" or "Brown-ie"................... "UND's secondary is like a pan of Brownies"...that could be it. Quote
FSSD Posted March 29, 2013 Posted March 29, 2013 I noticed that they have a "Rover" position on the depth chart. Not sure if this means a major schematic change in the secondary. Quote
geaux_sioux Posted March 29, 2013 Author Posted March 29, 2013 The best part about the two fr qbs we have battling for the starting spot this spring is that they are both built like men. These aren't your typical fr. These guys are strapping thick young men. That is at the very least one less thing to worry about. Quote
UNDvince97-01 Posted March 29, 2013 Posted March 29, 2013 I noticed that they have a "Rover" position on the depth chart. Not sure if this means a major schematic change in the secondary. The names "Rover" and "Flyer have been used throughout the years for the safety position on the UND Defense. "Rover" is the strong safety, "Flyer" is the free safety. Quote
