Mr. President, I rise today to honor the 2022 Football Championship Subdivision national champions, the North Dakota State University Bison. This past weekend, North Dakotans once again filled Toyota Stadium in Frisco, TX, where the NDSU Bison seized their 17th NCAA championship, earning victory over the Montana State University Bobcats by a score of 38 to 10. I had the opportunity to join Bison Nation in Frisco to cheer on the team, and, as always, the fans created an overwhelming atmosphere of support and team spirit. At the same time, the Bobcats should come away from the game with pride, having capped off a successful season. The Bison have now won 9 of the past 11 FCS championships--an achievement that goes unmatched in modern collegiate football history. Further, this victory followed a strong season for the Bison, where they had a 14-win and 1-loss record--a continuation of a decades' worth of excellence and skill. Since 2011, the NDSU Bison have had 149 wins to only 12 losses, which includes a streak of 39 consecutive wins. Such a record stands as a testament to the hard work and dedication of the players and staff, including Head Coach Matt Entz. Accordingly, I am joining with my colleague Senator Cramer to introduce a resolution honoring the NDSU Bison's achievements.…
