        score of 29 to 27;
Whereas NDSU has won 12 NCAA Football Championships;
Whereas NDSU has now won 4 consecutive NCAA Football Championships since 2011, 
        an unprecedented achievement in Football Championship Subdivision 
        history;
Whereas the NDSU Bison have displayed tremendous resilience and skill over the 
        past 4 seasons, with 58 wins to only 3 losses, including a streak of 33 
        consecutive winning games;
Whereas an estimated 17,000 Bison fans attended the Championship game, 
        reflecting the tremendous spirit and dedication of Bison Nation that has
