Whereas NDSU has now tied the record for most NCAA Division I FCS championships with 6 in only 10 years of eligibility;

Whereas the NDSU Bison have displayed tremendous resilience and skill over the past 7 seasons, with 97 wins to only 8 losses, including a streak of 33 consecutive wins;

Whereas estimates state that more than 13,000 Bison fans attended the championship game, reflecting the tremendous spirit and dedication of Bison Nation that has helped propel the success of the team; and
