“Mr. President, I thank the President for yielding the floor and thank you for your previous speech. It is a great honor for me to follow the senior Senator from North Dakota, Senator Hoeven, in congratulating this remarkable, singular accomplishment by this remarkable, singular football team: the North Dakota State University Bison. Senator Hoeven did a great job of highlighting the highlights of this singularly great team as, last weekend, they did win their eighth out of nine FCS national championships; that is, NCAA Division I Football Championship Subdivision. He went through the statistics that are very impressive: the stretch of 37 victories in a row; the 16-0 season; the singular accomplishment of Trey Lance, this redshirt freshman from Marshall, MN, who threw, by the way, in the course of the season, 29 touchdown passes and a grand total of 0 interceptions--remarkable to say the least. He was just named, in fact, the 2019 FCS National Performer of the Year. Senator Hoeven paid tribute appropriately to Coach Entz. Senator Hoeven is exactly right--an incredible individual; an incredible, undefeated head coach. Not only was he named the Missouri Valley coach of the year, he was just named the AFCA FCS coach of the year--a tremendous person. We can talk about all the great things that the Bison football team does, and it is appropriate that we do that and that we celebrate them in North Dakota and Fargo and the region and all of Bison Nation, as Senator Hoeven said.…”
