\u201cWhat the NDSU football team has done by winning 7 national championships over its last 8 seasons is truly unprecedented,\u201d Hoeven said<\/strong>. \u201cThe Bison have now set a record for most NCAA Division I FCS Championships. Throughout their extraordinary run, NDSU\u2019s players, coaches and staff have demonstrated remarkable determination, resilience and skill. We also recognize Bison Nation which has played an important role in NDSU\u2019s continued excellence by providing vibrant support at home games and even on the road. The Bison\u2019s title was a victory not only for the NDSU football team, but for the entire State of North Dakota.\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cPresident Trump once told a crowd they would get tired of winning, and the North Dakota State University Bison apparently took that as a challenge,\u201d Cramer said<\/strong>. \u201cI\u2019m grateful to Coach Klieman for his years of leadership, and to all the players, staff, and fans who have made our state tremendously proud. But don\u2019t worry: we\u2019re not tired of winning yet!\u201d<\/p>\n

Congratulations to all of the Bison players, coaches and dedicated fans.\u201d<\/p>\n
