Correct. Last night I roofied myself, woke up in a hotel room alongside a fully grown bengal tiger, found out I was newly married and missing a tooth, and had put a small Asian man in my trunk …

… actually, wait, that may just be the plot of a film I recently watched.

Did you get a tattoo on your face.  Just to make it wasn't a movie.

Good sign! It will be good to have Klein’s size to mix with the quickness of Red, Bo, Eliodor, and Wright!

And Dennis... and a speedy rook or two who could get as many as 4 games and still keep RS intact.

I definitely didn’t mean to leave Dennis out as I think he’s probably the fastest of the bunch! Haha thought it but didn’t type it

Gets you excited.

With this list, if they hit this year, would they change your opinion on that positional group? For example, I would say no on Borud, Kupfer, Bluiett. The more the merrier, but I already like those positional groups. Yes to Feeney, McNeal, Teiken, Sutton, Koshiol.

It's a very good article. 

WARNING to some: It states some positive things about UND football players.

Klein looks like he has put on some weight. Really hoping he can be 100% healthy this year, would be nice to have him in the offensive arsenal all year.

Roster has him at 6’ 6” 240

Not a bad write up for D2 roster

I suppose we need to realize the media has to be apologists as they need the UND ad revenue.

Then their stories should be taken with a grain of salt.

The upgrades happening to the Alerus suites will look pretty nice!

Wow, super clean.

I do miss our straight up solid green tops, and being able to read the numbers. 

[sioux24/7]

Yes clean and simple is best in my opinion. I also like having something that goes across all sports. The collar and arm sleeve in this pic 

matches the collar of the hockey jersey 

I don’t think basketball had it but something like that I would love to bring back. Maybe it ties too closely in to the Native America tradition or something where we couldn’t do it but I would love to just bring that small piece back across all sports. Consistency across sports.

Have always loved that collar.

These two are going to be crucial this season. Hope the defensive line as a whole takes a huge step forward! 

[Sioux>Bison]

Who’s going to step up at LB is the biggest question I have. If the front 7 take pressure off our secondary we will be a solid squad. Need the ball hawks to come back!

I think McNeal is hopefully going to be the guy at ILB. I was excited when UND got him! Along with Pedigo and Mullin I think ILB will be fine without any injuries. The OLB will be the biggest question I believe. They have Navartil with the most experience (who has had injuries) but after him Idk who will step up. Be nice to see Paine Parks step up early in his career.

Slight correction. The OLB's with experience are Navartil and Mullin. ILB's with experience are Pedigo and Kelley. Those are the current "starters" on the Spring depth chart. I also have high hopes for McNeal, who's listed behind Kelley. Baretz (6'3" 230LB) R-FR is listed behind Pedigo. An optimist would say that the ILB position looks to be solid, I like both Pedigo and Kelley, if McNeal can take a huge step, then you just need either Baretz or Parks to step up as the #4. I'm not too worried about the ILB. The OLB is more of a concern.

OLB is a huge concern. The lack of production from that group cost us last year. They can cover up a lot of issues with the secondary if they get after the qb.
