BigGame Posted April 7, 2004 Share Posted April 7, 2004 So many to choose from, but I have to go with Blaise Larson. I am judging both on and off the field. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UNDvince97-01 Posted April 8, 2004 Share Posted April 8, 2004 Delroy Ten Thumbs? Hmmmmmmmmmm.....................I wonder if this is someone I know...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Harlin Posted April 10, 2004 Share Posted April 10, 2004 Without a doubt, Craig Riendeau (or however the hell you spell his last name). The LBs got the credit in 2001, but he really solidified the secondary with experience and play. Kinda like John Stockton did for the Jazz (minus the "nutters"). Besides, he lets me tease him about the Sioux black game pants looking like something that should be seen at Men's Night at the local softball complex.

siouxjoy Posted April 10, 2004 Share Posted April 10, 2004 For recent players, I have to show love to Danny Graff, from the great state of SD. How excited were fans when he was granted a medical and could come back for another season (and eventually a championship)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cratter Posted April 10, 2004 Share Posted April 10, 2004 Without a doubt, Craig Riendeau (or however the hell you spell his last name).

Besides, he lets me tease him about the Sioux black game pants looking like something that should be seen at Men's Night at the local softball complex. I still give Craig a lot of credit for UND's championship, because without that blocked field goal, it's a different ball game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northcountry Posted April 12, 2004 Share Posted April 12, 2004 My all-time favorite is quarterback Tom Biolo who wore number 42, used athletic tape to hold his thigh pads in place, was also the team's punter and engineered some very ugly but impresseive wins over some very good teams (Portland State, NDSU, Northern Michigan, and at one time had the Sioux ranked #1 in the nation).

SiouxFan4Life Posted April 17, 2004 Share Posted April 17, 2004 I would have to say that Digger is my frontrunner for favorite sioux...There have been some great linebackers here, but he........is in a class of his own....and he is only getting better, and had his freshman season cut short...His intensity, plus he just has an old school attitude...all business.....could easily be the best that played here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiouxMeNow Posted April 20, 2004 Share Posted April 20, 2004 I think you're on the right track with Digger...only getting better and he's pretty GD good right now! We've got the Nickel for as long as we want to keep it thanks to him! Hey - bust a guys leg on third down then stuff his teammate on a 4th and 1?? You got my vote dude! He's focused, talented - kind of like Sports-Mensa version of Mike Mooney...WOW - where is he now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiouxFan4Life Posted April 20, 2004 Share Posted April 20, 2004 Travis Lueck deserves some love as well....He had some of the more exciting plays I have ever scene offensively...When ever he had the ball...there was a buzz.....definately would have been a big help against GVSU...he definately went down in history with his game against NDSU...

SiouxMeNow Posted April 22, 2004 Share Posted April 22, 2004 Man it would have been great to have Lueck for at least another year - and especially against GVSU. Could have been the difference maker. Anyone notice the first time the Lakers punted, they punted away from the "receiver"...apparently thinking it might be Lueck?? Anyway - he will be remembered for making Bobby "TOAST" Babich look exactly like his team nickname....that was fun! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sioux7 Posted April 22, 2004 Share Posted April 22, 2004 Vito Perrone. I believe he played in the early to mid 70's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canuck Posted April 22, 2004 Share Posted April 22, 2004 Milson Jones : RB 1979-1981 Anybody here old enough to remember him??? I've got plenty of fond memories of Milson from his CFL days. He was a pure tank with incredibly quick feet for a big man. His UND time, however, pre-dates me by a little bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SIouxNY Posted April 23, 2004 Share Posted April 23, 2004 Milson Jones : RB 1979-1981 Anybody here old enough to remember him??? Yeah - Now that was a while ago... he was a lot of fun to watch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northcountry Posted April 23, 2004 Share Posted April 23, 2004 Uh, sioux7, I believe that Vito Perrone was the dean of the (at the time) Center for Teaching and Learning (college of education) in the 1970's. My recollection is that Dr. Perrone was not a real football fan and spent most of his time writng articles for scholarly journals theorizing about how schools should operate more like permissive families and that children should be allowed to "discover" the truths in life rather than being taught them. If my aging and failing memory serves me, I think that he went from UND to one of the Ivy League schools (not in a football capacity) - Princeton seems to come to mind.

Sioux95 Posted April 24, 2004 Share Posted April 24, 2004 Shannon Burnell. In my opinion he could shed tacklers better than anybody in recent memory. I think he was key to the UND turnaround in the early 90s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe there was also a Vito Perrone, Jr. It was well before my time, but I know he was a very good track athlete at Grand Forks Central. According to the football media guide, he lettered in football at UND in 1976. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
