                CONGRATULATING NORTH DAKOTA STATE BISON

  (Mr. BERG asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Mr. BERG. Mr. Speaker, today I want to congratulate the North Dakota 
State Bison on an incredible football season that led to winning the 
2011 FCS championship. More than 10,000 Bison fans cheered on NDSU in 
Frisco, Texas, where the Bison defeated Sam Houston by a score of 17-6.
  The Bison and Coach Craig Bohl worked hard this season, and their 
determination resulted in NDSU's ninth football championship and the 
first championship in Division I.
  These student athletes represent NDSU's commitment to both academic 
and athletic excellence. Their character and perseverance truly 
exemplify the North Dakota spirit, and they have made our State proud.
  Congratulations, Coach Bohl, the Bison players, and NDSU fans 
everywhere on an excellent season. Thank you, and go Bisons.
