  • Give a Dragon a "high-five" for $10,000 on Giving Day with Cindy Bailey
    Without a doubt, the single most valuable day to give to MSUM is Giving Day...which is October 28th.  Why you ask?  Because a $25,000 matching gift from Bob & Candice Bowlsby doubling your gift AND $10,000 in "high-fives" will be split up between the sports based on how many donations over $5 (a "high-five", get it) they receive.  So...$5 could help your team earn a larger share of the $10,000 and will at least be doubled by the Bowlsby's.  

    Breaking all that down, how to give, and more is MSUM Foundation's Cindy Bailey joining the MSUM Dragons Podcast.

  • THE DRAGON WAY Podcast: E9 - Jakup Sinani
    EPISODE QUOTES FROM JAKUP SINANI:

    "We're worried about having great people in the program...that's what makes a program special. [Other teams] may have more flashy things that they show off...we're more worried about having the best people in the conference."

    "Laqua always says...It's not always as bad as you think, it's not always as good as you think. My senior season got cancelled, yeah that sucked. But there's things bigger things in life."

    "I grew as a person. When you come to play college football, we were all the star on our high school team. Everyone is just as good as you or better. I had to be the backup and be supportive and embrace that role. Just started a new job, just gotta slowly make your way up and do your role to the best of your ability."

    For those of you who don't know what THE DRAGON WAY is, simply it's four things Dragon Football focuses on to create men of character. Do What's Right, Find A Way, Be A Great Teammate, and Keep Getting Better! That's THE DRAGON WAY.

  • THE DRAGON WAY Podcast: E8 - Mike Mann
    EPISODE QUOTES - Mike Mann

    "My first 3 years at school I had 3 different head coaches...It was very clear that first morning (Laqua started) that it was, okay, we're not going to do things the way they've been done here before. We're gonna implement a system...hop on board or get out the way." "[What amazed me] we how clear expectations were and how little he could care about little things. The things he cared about he cared about 100%."

    "My 10 best friends are all from Dragon Football....Dragon Football is truly a family."

    "When I was there we had an underdog mentality. We always bonded together to overcome with what we had."

    "[Doing what's right], that applies to my everyday life. One of the coach's examples...walking the hallway, seeing something on floor and pick it up. Even today I get so mad at myself if I ever pass up that opportunity."

    "I was never the biggest, the fastest, or the strongest guy. I always tried to show up and to the right thing and eventually I got quite a bit of playing time...In my life, there's people a lot smarter than me, a lot more talented than me. But I think showing up, nose to the grindstone everyday and just be willing to outwork people is something I'll carry with me for the rest of my life."

    "Those cold winter mornings going to conditioning in January are brutal, but that's when you decide if you really love football or not. You figure out why you're doing it because no one wants to go morning conditioning at 5am on a Tuesday. Figure out your why, what's driving you to do the work."

    "When I got to Moorhead I was a kid. When I left I was closer to being a man. Laqua and the coaches gave us a lot of opportunities to become adults and gave us responsibility and earn their trust."

  • Sarah Petrbok isn't taking anything for granted

    One of the biggest themes I’ve heard from our Dragons this year after losing seasons in the last 2 years because of COVID…is making sure not to take this year, this season, each game…for granted.  They all saw that the opportunity to compete is not promised and could be ripped away at a moments notice.  But this isn’t new for athletes who have suffered a severe injury.  Someone who has experience both for the Dragons Volleyball team is Sarah Petrbok who joins us to day to share her outlook how she plans to make the most of every opportunity…and based on how busy her schedule is…this isn’t lip service folks…real deal…right here…RIGHT NOW!
