All Conference Honors

[stevdock]

I was kind of surprised to see all the NDSU players that did actually make it, but it does prove we had talent on this team. We just either didn't have enough or not enough coaching to make it work.

Thanks for the info and congrats to all that made the team.

[westnodak93bison]

both Pat and Buckman will play on Sundays imho..

I will be shocked if either one of them plays in the NFL. Will they get a shot? Yes, but we've had a ton of Bison players in the past who have been better than both of them at their positions who got their shot but didn't play. Now hopefully though they will prove me wrong.
