Wheeler: North Dakota State bringing NFL talent on Saturday

The Bison are coming to Plaster on Saturday.

Yes, it is the North Dakota State Bison. Not the Bisons. And you pronounce it “Bi-zin” instead of “Bi-son.”

I’m not going to make fun of it. It’s not the Moundbuilders. Plus, they’re also the five-time defending national champions and they have 46 votes in this week’s FBS AP Top 25 Poll. They aren’t even in the FBS. They’re scary.

This week, the number one FCS team in the country will take on the Bears and there will be more NFL talent than usual playing in your typical Missouri State football game.
