Mike says I am not a good football fan. He says this because once one of the teams starts to dominate and shut out the other team I start rooting for the team that is losing. This is particularly true when the other team has no points and virtually no hope of winning. I just [...]

My Christmas wish for Gene Taylor…
I live with a BIG Bison football fan. By that I mean that he is both physically big - 6'3" - and he breathes, eats, and sleeps Bison football. Hence, the singular topic of discussion in our household since last night is the news that Craig Bohl is leaving NDSU to go to Wyoming. In [...]
