School and Football Starting

Welcome to Spring (well Spring Semester that is!). . .

With classes and weight in full swing, the team is starting to get a bit more comfortable with the routine on the semester.  There is great intensity in the workouts already, the senior leadership is starting to come out and it will make a difference this fall.

There were some good games this past weekend in the NFL playoffs.  On ESPN Radio, they mentioned that the Arizona Cardinals would not be favored against something like  other teams in the NFL right now even though they are in the Super Bowl.  How can you not root for the underdog?!  Then again, I do like Pittsburgh's defense.  Should be a great game.  I wonder if the NCAA Division I had playoff, who would have won?

I have to say thanks to several people that complained about the inability to comment easily on this Blog, they chose to email me instead.  I will use the information in your emails for some topics in the coming days.

Our 2009 schedule is posted on the right hand side of the Blog if you do not have it yet.  We are scheduled for a non-conference home game against Valley City for our season opener.  It will be nice to have 3 home games to start the season, in comparison to the 3 aways we had in 2007.  The first 5 games of the season line up well for us in terms of home and away locations, games 6-8 are a tough stretch for us as we have to travel to Duluth and Mankato and have a home with Mary whom is always a tough game for us.  The final 3 games also line up well for us as the travel to Aberdeen is not a tough drive, a home game with St. Cloud, followed by an away game at SW Mn.  We have never been to SW in my time, been playing them at the Metrodome most years, should be fun to travel with the team somewhere new yet play a familiar opponent.

Hope the new year is treating you well. . .we are already 3 weeks in, dare I ask about your New Year's resolutions?!

Go Dragons!!!
