FM Athletics Invited this weekend

Dragon Athletics invites all F-M Athletic participants to the Dragon Football game Saturday, September 5th at 1 p. m. on the MSUM Campus.  All F-M Athletics participants wearing their game jersey to the game will be admitted free and receive 1 adult ticket as well.  Players wearing jerseys and their accompanying adult need to go to any of the three ticket windows to receive tickets to the game.

 

“We want to welcome and encourage the kids that are participating in athletics to a college event,” said Peters.  “My hope is that the kids that come to the game can see themselves someday attending college and playing football.”

Congrats Dragons

Dragons vs. Vikings Tailgating

MSUM Athletics and the Dining Service have teamed up and are hosting Tailgating on the WEST SIDE OF NEMZEK FIELDHOUSE!

This means:  DO NOT BRING A DISH TO SHARE!   That will have to wait.   Cost to eat at tailgating is $5 if you are Dragon Fire members and $7 if you are not.  (Another good reason to join Dragon Fire.)  All food is provided.

So, meet us at 11am on the WEST SIDE OF THE FIELDHOUSE this Saturday. 

Weather forecast for Saturday is mostly sunny with a high of 68.  Sounds like great weather for Football.

POST GAME gathering.  Please join us after the game at Bennigans (just NE of MSUM on Highway 10 in Moorhead).  We will be gathering as fans, players, and family.  Bring your son and your family to Bennigans immediately following the game (okay, immediately following a player's shower) on Saturday. 

Go Dragons!!!

Scrimmage #2 ends, Close of Fall Camp

Amazing how fast it goes!  It was just the 4th of July, now we play Valley City this Saturday.  Time goes so quickly.  Great lesson to be learned by our guys, never take a day for granted, you blink and you may miss life.  

I believe our guys took advantage of the last two weeks and improved not only as football players but as young men.  Camp does present a bunch of situations that they can learn from and help their growth into future leaders.

Scrimmage yesterday saw some success by both our offense and defense; the 2 minute drill to end the day showed our offenses ability to drive the field (great Fry to Small toss and catch for 6 points).  Defense made their share of plays, our team speed on defense is impressive, I believe that we are faster then we were last year.

Special Teams will be important for us this fall, I hope that they will be able to contribute to each win this season and never be the cause for us to be behind in a game.  Jimmie Mattson has earned the starting job as a kicker and Pat Haynes as our punter.  Both have improved the last two weeks and their consistency is getting more impressive.

Look forward to seeing everyone at Alex Nemzek this coming Saturday as we face Valley City State, kickoff is at 1:00pm.  You can catch us on AM 1660 from the local FM area or on the Internet through www.northernsun.org.

Go Dragons!!!

New Team Pic, Scrimmage Saturday

Check out the new team pictures on the right hand side of the page.  We chose the stadium this year, this was the normal location for the Dragon Team Picture in years past.  You can also see the away uniforms which are new this year.

This Saturday, August 22nd, 1:00pm, we will be having our second scrimmage of fall camp.  Look forward to having you join us for our last open practice before we play Valley City State Saturday the 29th.

Go Dragons!!!

Media Day

Great job by all who helped put our 41st annual media day together. Had to throw up the picture of our new interview backdrop, pretty sweet if you ask me. . .

Don't forget to make plans to join us this Saturday at 1pm for our intra squad scrimmage in the stadium. We will also be scrimmaging on Saturday the 22nd at 1pm.

Go Dragons!!!

Thanks Parents

Special thanks to our Dragon Football Parents that cooked the team dinner on Friday.  The meal was excellent and a great way to welcome the new team members to camp.

Go Dragons!!!

Rookies and Veterans have Returned

Great to see the rookies and veterans return back to Moorhead for the start of fall camp.  Blessed with a little rain and lightening, practice #1 was called a little short.  For those that are in the know, Coach Bo left the field after about 35 minutes!

The team is already coming together nicely.  Not only is there talent, I think this is a very good character group.

This morning, we will be doing a little testing.  We will return to the field at 3:30 this afternoon for another (rainless!) helmet practice.

More updates to come. . .

Go Dragons!!!

Conference Golf Tournament

Gregg Veldman, Larry Scott, Mark Reed, and myself.

Last Friday, we had an opportunity to get together some Dragon favorites from years past at the NSIC Golf Tournament.  Even though we shot a gross 59, we did not place in the top 3.  It was a great day and I already promised Veldman to golf next year if he made an eagle put on #11 which he sunk!  We will be seeing you next year.

Go Dragons!!!
