The FCS record for national titles is 6 - Ga. Southern.
The North Dakota St. Bison will have an opportunity to tie that mark in three weeks.
The Bison have been eligible for FCS post-season play for 10 seasons.

**My wife is well aware of this statistic😏🤘🏼
NDSU has been playoff eligible since 2008. Yes, that’s only 14 years they’ve been able to participate in the FCS post-season.
Winning 9 titles equates to 64% of the AVAILABLE National titles they’ve won.
Utterly and absolutely ridiculous.
Chris Streveler is the best player in FCS in 2017. Without a doubt & no questions asked. I’m stunned to learned he didn’t win the Walter Payton award. Put me on the FCS selection committee & whatever committee tally’s this award because they are a disservice to FCS. Joke.
I’m sad to see the Dukes go to FBS. That program has been so good for the subdivision. A non-Valley school that’s dominant, and NDSU’s championships have been elevated (IMO) because of the formidable challenge JMU provides year in & year out. Games like this have been so much fun
In a 10 season span: ‘09-‘18, NDSU went from 3-8 to having the most FCS/1-AA Championships of any school ever.
I can’t help but think of the most incredible odds this would of been quantified at in ‘09...But genuine love for your brothers can’t be measured either.

There are so many different statistics you could throw out during NDSU’s run since 2011 that make you say wow. And they’re all intertwined of course, but still the most impressive to me is this:
The Bison have been playoff eligible for just 1️⃣2️⃣ years 🤯
Now this is the law of the prairie
As old and as true as the sky
And the Bison that keep it will prosper
And the Bison that break it will die
As the creeper that girdles the tree trunk. This law is the final word:
SDSU is just better right now and unequivocally the best team in FCS in 2022.
It was bound to happen at some point and doesn’t change the better program overall.
And similarly to JMU in 2016 is that it wasn’t a fluke. It was done the right way.
K-State gets their highest ranked road win in school history & have knocked off the standard of the Big XII two years in a row to boot.
You think the coach has anything to do with it?
I could @ a lot of people who had something to say about it two years ago...
👀😮🤫
One request for whoever controls the audio in the Fargodome tonight:
Have “If Your Gonna Play In Texas” cranked so loud, that not only all of ND/SD can hear it...but so the whole nation can hear it...
😤🤘🏼😤
...(through the TV that is...We’re many miles away. lol)
Shaq Barrett with $36M guaranteed on his new deal.
Oh yea?
Well ask him about defending the bubble screen in 2012.
*tweeted from an old & inexpensive couch*
It’s apparent that an NDSU win held a lot of weight. Propelled SIU into the field and SDSU to the 1 slot. I don’t see anyone knocking off the Jacks before Frisco and an NDSU/JMU semis would be really fun. Glad the Valley was able to get 5 teams in.
🤞🏻for no COVID dropouts.
The job of everyone who covers Nebraska football this week is to ensure the fan base that they are NOT playing “the really good team from North Dakota.”
K-State fans quickly realizing why
#BisoNation
was screaming from the mountain tops on the Klieman hire.
Gene Taylor is THAT DUDE!!
@KSTATEADGT
Awesome win for the Wildcats!!
Illinois State playoff games will be the death of me. Thankfully I played in the first one and didn’t experience the nerves like I did today. Whew.
Also - I apologize for what we put you all through in Jan. 2015 😂
Good Evening Folks (STATS FCS Award voters),
Trey Lance is the best football player in all of FCS. It’s not close. He deserves two awards at your banquet in January. That is all.
What a run.
@NDSUmbb
has a gritty group of guys and not one senior on the squad.
Bravo, hats off, and salute to Mr. Dave 👏🏼 This group will be fun to watch next year.
As thrilled as I am right now….I still love Brent Vigen and have to feel for that man. He deserves a national title as a HC. Have to think he’ll get one eventually. That is just gutting but man AM I JUICED UP RN!!!!!
NDSU won 8️⃣ National Championships over a 2️⃣5️⃣ year span in DII.
They’ll look to match the 8️⃣ National titles in FCS in 3️⃣ weeks, but would accomplish that feat in 1️⃣6️⃣ less years.
#Banners
I understand I played for the man, but I am ready to play RIGHT NOW for Coach P….all from a dang press conference 😂
Anyone that has an opportunity to do the same will be forever grateful.
Alright last one (hard maybe):
FCS/1-AA has been played since 1978. That’s 44 seasons total.
NDSU has won 20% of ALL national titles at this level despite being eligible for only 31% of the 44 seasons.

(bonus) The greatest drive in NDSU history. 2013 at Kansas State. Bison trailed 21-17 with 8:58 remaining. The Bison go 18 plays and 80 yards, converting four 3rd down conversions en route to Brock Jensen's game winning touchdown.
The most epic ending of a football game I’ve ever seen.
1. How do you let that happen?
2. How do you make that play?
3. No ones working tomorrow in the state of Minnesota.
That was unreal.
The part of Christian Watsons game that doesn’t get notoriety - but catapults his draft status - is the guy will throw you out of the club if you’re in the way of the ball carrier.
Physical receivers = Championship football.
Side note from the FCS talk. How bout Georgia Southern? On the verge of going winless [unacceptable in that culture] & just takes S. Alabama to the woodshed for a 52-0 smackdown. Salute to those seniors

Normally it’s the bad allergies or dust that hits me, but you can’t hide these real tears.
Just a GUTSY performance by

and the entire family.

We picked more than brackets. And if history tells us anything — Iona & Colgate will be happy with this years version of Everly’s bracket.
And yes…I subscribed to Blue to post this. Well worth it. Enjoy!

NDSU has now tied Georgia Southern for the most FCS (1-AA included) Championships at six...in ten years of eligibility. What an incredible run this is.
If SDSU is not 3 it’s wrong.
I get it (actually I don’t), but you can’t find a justification putting NDSU & SDSU on the same side of the bracket this year.
A month of ball left, but it’s NDSU, JMU, SDSU, and then everyone else.
Congratulations to all the future Bison signing today! Its the best decision you’ll ever make, hands down. Two things you have to look forward to:
1. You’ll work hard.
#KramerMade
2. You’ll win a lot of football games.
#BisonCulture
Really can’t decide on Sam Houston/ USD...like everyone else. Biased conference affiliated heart says Yotes, but my head, from last Saturday’s performance, says Bearkats.

I....I can’t pick the Southland. USD by 4.

Carson Wentz is 250 yards away from becoming the first QB in NFL history to throw for 4,000 yards while having no WR over 500 yards for the season.
UNREAL.

True story: the first words Christain Watson said to me were: “I know who you are.”
Can’t wait for my kids to roll their eyes at dad when I tell them that story.
