"I finally came to the conclusion that I was never going to be considered tall enough," Willson said. "But how is an extra two inches going to make me a better football player? I just did what I could with what God gave me and made the best of it. I just try to play with all the heart I can. I put everything I can into it."

Once again, as fortune would have it, Willson's decision was essentially made for him as North Dakota State was the only school to offer him a scholarship.

Great Read...Thanks. I liked this one.

"We have awesome support up there and the people from that area are very kind and nice," Willson said. "The only thing I really miss is the mountains. There is not really even a hill around there. I had an old man tell me that Fargo is the only place that you can watch your dog run away for three days."

Awesome read, saw it a few weeks ago but didn't think to post it on here. Can't say enough about how glad I am that Chad chose to be a Bison, what an impact he's had in his two years with the program. Sad to think this is his last game already but hope to goodness he buys into the "once a Bison always a Bison" mantra.

I am so glad that Chad is a Bison! What a great contribution he has made to the team in two seasons.

Maybe I'm thinking of a different article. I'd swear I read something about Willson getting a third shot at a championship in the middle of December sometime. Absentmindedness is a trait characteristic of myself, I assure you.

Yep. Kid can play. No doubt about that. A real FB player. I was introduced to his dad by a long time Team Maker a few weeks ago. He admitted he wanted Chad to play for Utah. But was very impressed with the support up here. Go Bison! We found a GEM!

If anyone has made a bigger impact to our program in only two years, I'd like to see who and why. Chad has been fun to watch and is a great leader for this team. In my mind, one of the best transfers to ever step foot in the Dome.

Again, if you disagree or have transfers who've made a larger impact, please respond with who and why.

Chad will have 10+ tackles for us in the NC.

Another cool read, this one on Holloway on ncaa.com

“It feels good to get back home and play in front of some family and friends,” Holloway said. “Being so far from home, I didn’t get much opportunity to play in front of my family.”

Little blurb here about GT. This time on navysports.com funny how i see NDSU recruiting against air force and army all the time but never players with Navy offers or interest

I sampled an FCS semifinal from the Fargodome, only to confront conflicting emotions. Visiting Georgia Southern was led by ex-Navy assistant and all-around good guy Jeff Monken. Then again, home-standing North Dakota State’s athletic director Gene Taylor is also an AAGG, as well as a former Naval Academy administrator.

You could argue, regardless of the outcome, I couldn’t lose. But it sure felt like I couldn’t win. Eventually, the Bison won in a big way. Thankfully, there won’t be any conflict of rooting interest when NDSU meets Sam Houston State in the championship.
