    MSUM Dragons Men's Basketball junior Gavin Baumgartner came in with a class of freshman with high aspirations and now, after winning the NSIC/Sanford Health Tournament Championship...those aspirations are now becoming a reality. Host Jon 'Webbie' Wepking and Baumgartner discuss what changed mentally within the team to go from an 11-11 record to an 8 game win streak leading to cutting down nets. What it feels like to do something MSUM has never done before. What really matters, the trophy or the memories? And of course, a little talk about the upcoming NCAA Tournament as the #DragonsMarchOn this Saturday.

  • Why the 3 Beeninga Brothers made MSUM a family tradition



    PODCAST INTRO: "Hello everyone and welcome to the MSUM Dragons Podcast where we believe that the student-athlete experience here at MSUM is 'More Than a Game'...I'm your host, Jon Webbie Wepking.

    How rare is it to have multiple family members play at the collegiate level...let alone for the same program?  The Beeninga brothers; Johnny, Jacob, and Eddie have made Dragon men's basketball their home.  What better group to feature during the holidays to talk about family, traditions, and of course a little basketball?  Here they are...right NOW!"

     

    QUOTES FROM THE SHOW:

    JOHNNY: We actually have an older sister who's a teacher who is going to grad school at MSUM as well so there's 4 Beeningas going to school at MSUM right now.

    JACOB: It just feels like family here because I got to know the guys (on the team) watching Johnny play...so it made it easy to fit in here and with both brothers here it really feels like family up here.

    JACOB: You see my older brother I looked up to all through high school and stuff seeing him be successful here and be happy here...I think I wanted that for myself too. 

    EDDIE:  Having family here is big because my recruiting process was so difference because of COVID.  I thought (MSUM) was best for me because I saw the success both of them had and knew I could follow that path and be successful too.

    JOHNNY: Eddie really put in the work.  He wasn't on the radar very much but really did a good job and had a commitment to get better and get to this level too.

    JOHNNY: I wanted to try hockey but my dad didn't let me.  Glad he made me stick to basketball.

    JOHNNY: Eddie is the only one of us to get two state titles in football and basketball so he's got a leg up on us.

    JACOB: Most families would go out or go to the movies, and we'd grab a bat or a ball and play sports.  We've always loved sports and played and competed against each other and that brought us closer together.

    JACOB: I'd say Eddie (is the most competitive)...he HATES losing.

    JOHNNY:  I think they've done great so far up here and really proud of both of them on how they've handled it.  I think they're doing really well and it's fun to be able to help each other and be around each other still.  Not just to watch them play but to be able to go to lunch together or talk about classes because we're all business majors.  Proud of what they're doing and to be a part of it.

  • A Veteran, a Dragon, and a lesson in Humility with Larry MacLeod



    Today is Veterans Day and one of the many things that I think about as we honor this holiday is how many of the first hand experiences we lose over time…and hopefully we helped capture a snapshot of one on today’s show for you.  Larry MacLeod is considered one of the first ballot faces on the Mt. Rushmore of Dragon Athletics.  His years coaching, in administration, teaching, and all the people he influenced in his time have shared countless stories of his heart and kindness.  

    Larry is also a Veteran of World War II on both fronts and in two different branches of the military.  Today, he shares with us his story of service. 


    Larry Scott also created a great feature story on Dragon Veterans (including Larry MacLeod) that you can read by CLICKING HERE.

  • THE DRAGON WAY Podcast: E11 - Abe Roehrich
    EPISODE QUOTES FROM ABE ROEHRICH:

    "You could tell they're very genuine people...my mom even said, "You can tell they have good values." The values of the program matched who I wanted to be in the future."

    "It's 4-5 years of your life where you're basically making all the decisions. The biggest thing is deciding who you want to be and what values you have. It's the people that matter. If you're around good people and you're doing something kinda crappy or hard, it'll probably be fun. If you're doing something fun with crappy people, it's probably not going to be fun. Go somewhere with people you want to be like because you're going to become more like those people as you spend more and more time with them."

    "In high school I thought I had the 10 best friends I'd have forever. The guys that I'm gonna be friends with forever (the guys in my wedding) ended up being the guys I played with at MSUM."

    "You're gonna be valued as a person at MSUM. No matter what your role is or isn't, you matter in this program. Everybody cares about everybody."

    "As a player, Find A Way was the most important. Gotta find a way to bring that positive energy no matter what you're doing and push through. Now it's Be A Great Teammate...to Maren, my wife. Stepping up and doing the dishes even though I know she'll do them if I leave em. It's bled more into my life outside of football."

    "The area I changed the most in was Do What's Right. I wasn't a "bad" kid, but Laqua almost engrains it in ya. "Is this the right thing or not?" goes through your head on every decision. Make the decision that will make you happy a year from now not an hour from now. It's the cookie and the apple. Cookie makes you feel good now, but the apple will make you feel good tomorrow."

    "Hopefully I'm having as big of an impact on others as Coach Koch had on me."

  • THE DRAGON WAY Podcast: E10 - Evan Moore

    EVAN MOORE QUOTES FROM THE EPISODE:


    “You have this group of guys from all over and at the end of the day we all have the same values.  The culture was everything I expected and more.”

    “It’s everything that’s presented to you in the recruiting process and probably more.  The coaches and the guys were the same guys I met on day one till my last day."

    “(HS) Senior me was selfish.  At MSUM, it was more about my role and being the best at it I could be whether is was scout team or whatever.  What can I do to help the young guys get ready.  The team first attitude changed significantly over my five years.”
