Happy Holidays

A few thoughts as we approach the end of the year. . .

- Posting regularly on a blog takes time and effort, appreciate comments and responses. Sorry I have not spent the time recently to post new information.

- Taking care of a newborn is a whole new level of time commitment, Molly has been fun, I am so blessed to have my wife Carolyn, she does a great job with our daughter. We all enjoyed the holidays, time with family is always time well spent.

- If you live in the Fargo/Moorhead area and are looking for a professional photographer, try Jennifer Peters. She has taken pictures of our wedding and of our daughter and is fantastic. Her Website is here.

- I can't wait to see the grades from this fall, from preliminary conversations, our guys did well in the fall. Would like to see our team GPA hit a 3.0.

- We will have a team meeting on January 13th, I expect to see some new faces that are joining us. Some from local junior colleges, others from our campus that want to play.

- Our coaches continue to recruit, it is going very well. I am limited in what I can say about the guys coming in, but I will comment that our class is looking great. We will have more future Dragons visiting us in January. Signing Date is February 4th.

- Congrats to our women's basketball team. I watched their game vs. Mayville last night. The girl's are fun to watch and play some good basketball. Keep it up Coach Nelson.

- Congrats to the Vikings for making the playoffs. Adrian Peterson is fun to watch, if he wants to come back to college, please call me! I am looking forward to the Rose Bowl Game, USC vs. Penn St. I will lean toward USC, they play great defense.

- And for all of you in the upper midwest, the snow can stop at anytime :)

Go Dragons!!!

Greetings from the road

Greetings to the Dragon Nation as I am on the road continuing my recruiting trek through the region. The assistant coaches have done a great job and I think that are recruiting class this year will be another step in the direction that our program is looking for. Checking the odometer, i have logged 1500 miles since last Monday!

Thanks to many of you for the birthday wishes. It was great to hear from so many people that I don't get to regularly get to speak with.

Avoid the snow, drive safe. . .and Go Dragons!!!

November rolls in December

As the team returns from a much needed and deserved Thanksgiving break and time with family, classes have started back and the weight room is rocking again with the football team returning for workouts. Finals are quickly approaching, graduation is December 19th for some of our seniors that are finishing this December.

The coaching staff is all over the region meeting with high school coaches and seniors looking to bring in the best recruiting class in the school's history. We are doing very well on the road and have been well received by coaches. I can't share much about recruiting, the NCAA rules are strict on this.

Go Dragons!!!
