Political Quotes

“Mr. President, I thank Senator Cramer for his comments and wonderful commentary on these great student athletes, but there is one other point I want to make that goes to the excellence of this program. In the last national championship they won, the quarterback was a wonderful player by the name of Trey Lance. He played for 1 year as a redshirt freshman. So he easily could have been playing this year, which would have been probably his sophomore or, maybe, junior year. It is a little hard to say with the COVID spring season, but I think it would have been his sophomore year. The reason he wasn't able to quarterback the team is that he was quarterbacking the San Francisco 49ers to a win in the NFL. So they bring in another redshirt freshman quarterback who platoons with some other players, who is another wonderful quarterback, Cam Miller. So they win it with another player. Again, it just shows, even as they lose some of these players-- sometimes in the transfer portal and sometimes to the NFL, as Senator Cramer said--they keep bringing in just excellent athletes, and he mentioned a number of them. It is not just that they are excellent athletes; they are student athletes. Again, that goes to the quality and the character of the program. So we commend all of them--Senator Cramer, thanks for joining me--and also with Kelly Armstrong in the House in recognizing a wonderful group that truly deserves it--all the Bison nation. Anything else from Senator Cramer? All right.…”
