Okay, so I’ve been digging into this NDSU Bison football injury report thing, and let me tell you, it’s been quite a journey. I started off by just wanting to know who was hurt and when they might be back, you know, the usual fan stuff.
First, I dove into a bunch of different websites. Some were pretty straightforward, listing the players’ names, their injuries, and some vague timeline like “out for the season” or “questionable.”
- Found some articles talking about specific players, like this one guy, Wisniewski, who had foot surgery in August. Apparently, the big issue with him was swelling that kept coming back.
- Read about how the Bison have had a rough time with injuries during the playoffs. This tight end, Noah Gindorff, and a running back, Jalen Bussey, both had season-ending injuries. Tough break for them.
Then, I got sidetracked a bit. I started reading about NDSU’s history. Did you know they’ve won 10 FCS championships? That’s insane! I even found this interesting what-if scenario about which of their championship teams would win if they all played each other.
I also stumbled upon some info about their former head coach, Matt Entz. The guy had a crazy good record, winning like 85% of his games. He led them to two national championships in five years. Not bad, right?
There was this other thing about NDSU getting paid a ton of money to play Colorado. Like, $740,000! That’s a lot of cash just to show up and play a game. Oh, and I found out their stadium only holds about 19,000 people.
My Findings
So, after all this digging, here’s the deal: getting a really detailed and up-to-date injury report isn’t as easy as you might think. There’s some info out there, but it’s scattered and sometimes not super specific. It seems like the best way to really know what’s going on is to follow the team closely, watch their games, and maybe check out some local news reports.
This whole process taught me that there’s a lot more to following a football team than just watching the games. There’s history, strategy, money, and of course, the human element of these players getting hurt and trying to recover. It’s a whole world in itself.
Anyways, that’s my little adventure into the world of NDSU Bison football injuries. Hope you found it at least a little bit interesting!
