RESOLUTION
Congratulating the North Dakota State University football team for
winning the 2011 National Collegiate Athletic Association Division I
Football Championship Subdivision title.
Whereas the North Dakota State University (referred to in this preamble as
``NDSU'') Bison won the 2011 National Collegiate Athletic Association
Division I Football Championship Subdivision title game in Frisco,
Texas, on January 7, 2012, in a hard fought victory over the Sam Houston
State University Bearkats by a score of 17 to 6;
Whereas the NDSU Bison and coach Craig Bohl had an incredible 2011 season with a
record of 14 wins and 1 defeat;
Whereas the Bison had a season full of highlights, including a 37 to 24 win over
the University of Minnesota Gophers on September 24, 2011;
Whereas, during the championship game, the NDSU Bison offense scored 17 points
against the Sam Houston State Bearkats, led by key plays from
quarterback Brock Jensen, running back D.J. McNorton, and punter Matt
Voigtlander;
Whereas the stifling Bison defense shut down the Bearkats, limiting the Bearkats
to just 2 field goals;
Whereas Bison linebacker Travis Beck, the Most Outstanding Player of the game,
secured a momentum-changing interception in the final minutes of the
game to preserve the win for the Bison;
Whereas the Bison, who were previously a dominant force in the National
Collegiate Athletic Association Division II, have continued to strive
for excellence since moving up a division in 2004 and have proven they
are able to compete and win in Division I;
Whereas Coach Bohl and his staff have instilled character and confidence in the
NDSU players and have done an outstanding job with the Bison football
program;
Whereas the leadership of President Dean Bresciani and Athletic Director Gene
Taylor has helped bring both academic and athletic excellence to NDSU;
Whereas the 2011 National Collegiate Athletic Association Division I Football
Championship Subdivision title was a victory not only for the NDSU
football team, but also for the entire State of North Dakota: Now,
therefore, be it
Resolved, That the Senate--
(1) congratulates the North Dakota State University

Association Division I Football Championship Subdivision
champions;
