Sadly, I've been told that UND All-American OL Greg Lotysz has passed away. Greg was a mountain of a man, in size and personality. Great family man that raised three beautiful kids with his wife, Heather. I was lucky enough to play alongside Greg for three seasons at UND and

UND Fans: As you heard multiple times today - upping our social media presence to show the passion for the Fighting Hawks is paramount. Recruits see this and it gives them a sense of how much that program is supported, etc! . Like, retweet, follow - do it all🟢.

UND lands the #1 recruit in the state! 6’6”-270 OT out of Casselton. Highly sought-after prospect, Wunderlich had a bunch of suitors but chose the Hawks and the vision of Coach Schmidt. Great day for UND Football! 🏈.

A team leader for the Hawks, Hunter Pinke was in a serious accident recently. Let's keep Hunter and his family in our thoughts during this tough time.
Our son @hunter_pinke was in a skiing accident this morning. He’s conscious and receiving medical treatment in Colorado. Prayer warriors, please pray for Hunter’s full healing and his medical team. When we know more, we will share more. Thank you.

Let's give credit where it's due: Special Teams coach Shawn Kostich has done a superb job the last couple seasons. Multiple blocked kicks to essentially win games.

Tommy Schuster played the best game of his career and it's not even debatable. He was a man out there running the offense. Fearless running it also, diving forward for 1st downs, scrambling and finding the open receiver.

UND Fans: that's enough. She made a decision that she felt is best for her. UND's coach resigned and the season didn't exactly go swimmingly. Maybe we should look deeper into the state of our programs before we blame the players in situations like this.

Tommy Schuster came in as a true freshman who had never played before and went 17-33 for 165 yards and 1 TD & 1 INT. He also ran for 20 yards. That kid has some stones.

🗣️Regarding yesterday’s news: slept on it and woke up feeling a bit blah about the situation. As many of you know I played for Bubba (my DB/DC). I got along great with him, drove him crazy at times, but it was a great five years. We won a lot of games and had fun. So doing this.

I won’t have a game review, sorry folks. As many of you know my father-in-law, Buck Kasowski, had a major aorta aneurysm (rupture) this weekend. It’s touch and go but he made it out of surgery! . His son Ryan, played at UND, is Midco color guy for UND, and is the head coach of.

Long-time UND equipment manager Dallas Kopp has passed away. Dallas was a great man, so funny and a guy that every player loved! An absolute legend at Red River High School, as well. #RIP.
It is with great sadness that we share the news of the passing of Hall of Famer Dallas Kopp. Dallas was Red River’s first football coach and was also a successful girls golf and girls track coach for the Riders. He also drove a few bus routes in his day. Rest In Peace Dallas🙏🏻

From the program that got in a handshake line fight. Nothing says class like that. Lighten up, Lil J.
Huge credit to Bison MBB for keeping poise today. Members of UND football team stood 4 ft from team bench and jawed the entire time. Really classy. Riding trainers and reserves. Bison took high road. And the win. And by my count NDSU hasn’t lost to UND in anything this year🦬🤘🏼

No Tommy wasn’t perfect and had deficiencies, what QB doesn’t? . But he threw for 9,000+ yards and 63 touchdowns. I mean at some point let’s respect greatness cause there were games he was unflappable and won it for us. Rarely did you ever see UND calling timeout cause they.

Regarding the UND-Alabama game:.Anybody remember late in the game when the “U-N-D” chant broke out? .Slow build and suddenly the entire arena was roaring it. (don’t hear a straight “UND” chant much that I can recall). Backstory: guy in front of us in 405 (way on the end) starts.

Let's give praise where it's deserved- UND started 3 freshman OL and were moving the LOS consistently. 175 yards rushing. It ultimately got away from them but UND played alright today. Schemes were sound, effort was there, just came up short.

This season is similar to 2018. Set yourself up at 5-2 and then lose back-to-back games to kill momentum. This time it was vs the bottom of the league, on the road, where they struggle to win. Not sure what there is left to say at this point. Every season plays out almost.

From everything I am hearing UND has been getting bombarded with interest about the head coaching job. This job is a very good one and has a high ceiling to it. But, it takes the right person. Grand Forks/UND is a different animal than other schools. Hockey will always be.

Sad to report that former UND All-American linebacker Jim LeClair has passed away. Was drafted in the 3rd round by the Cincinnati Bengals and played for them from 1972-83. One of, if not the very best to ever wear a Sioux uniform.
