By - Joshua A. Swanson A week after a 34-20 demolition of a Northern Iowa program on the rise, the Herd looks to spoil Illinois State's homecoming. Quincy Patterson torched the Panthers for four touchdowns, including a dynamite 85-yard precision guided bomb to Christian Watson. Watson, the most explosive offensive weapon in the FCS, finished with five catches for 163 yards and a score. A big punt return by Jayden Price, followed by a strip sack by Will Mostaert, setup two Bison touchdowns early in the second half. Swany is joined by the Bison Illustrated's Brady Drake. The guys talk about a Herd offense on the rise, and the suffocating Code Green/"Best Friends Defense." Swany says he expects NDSU's offense to be aggressive in attacking the Redbirds today, and ISU's problems getting off the field on third down will be costly against the Herd. Patterson's growing chemistry with his receivers, combined with his running skills and the Bison ground game, are heating up. The guys also discuss some surprise teams in the Missouri Valley Football Conference, and a slate of big matchups this weekend - including North Dakota at Southern Illinois, and South Dakota at UNI. The Bison offense continues the march, this week, on Herd It Hear! See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Bison women are back, in a big way, with a Power 5 win against the Kansas Jayhawks. We talk about their bright future. Swany & Nolan then talk about how the Bison men are coming into form as they head into a Power 5 matchup of their own against TCU. Reaching deep into Santa's Sleigh, the guys recap the Herd's big recruiting week with talent that could compete for a Mountain West crown (Hey, San Jose State just won that league). If the Mountain West sent NDSU a note saying, "Do you like me? Check 'Yes,' 'No,' or 'Maybe,'" what box would you check Bison Nation? Throw on another Yule log, fill the Egg Nog, and listen to the gift that keeps on giving, Clark! Here, this week, on the Bison Illustrated Podcast!

The good folks at Bison Illustrated proudly announce their special edition 2019 FCS Championship commemorative issue, telling the story of North Dakota State's 16-0 season and 16th National Title, which hits newsstands in days! Swany and Nolan give you a sneak peak, and tell you where to find the digital issue online. The guys also go all Jay Bilas on the red hot Summit League race, as NDSU and South Dakota State are tied atop the standings with only a few games left in the regular season. The conference tournament in Sioux Falls will be wide open. We tell you why the Bison have an advantage, listen up Joe Lunardi, and should be favored to get back to March Madness. Get ready for some madness, this week, on the Bison Illustrated Podcast.

Get in the Christmas and holiday spirit by enjoying North Dakota State's 42-14 semifinal thumping of Montana State all over again! On this special Bison Illustrated Podcast, we replay Saturday's Herd It Hear with Swany. Swany is joined by Nolan, and 740AM The Fan's Chase Miller, live from Buffalo Wild Wings where the guys discuss an already historic season, and foreshadow the offensive fireworks from the Bison against the Bobcats. Swany has a special message for Bison Nation, telling the Herd to enjoy this team and moment. It's a Ho-Ho-Ho great time on this special Bison Illustrated Podcast!

Welcome to the Thundering Herdcast with Swany, a podcast dedicated to one thing, and one thing only - the THUNDERING HERD! My pledge to you is this: if it doesn't have to do with the Bison, you won't find it on this show. I know that you're listening to hear about North Dakota State, and we'll do our best to make sure that you're entertained and informed. After all, we share one very big thing in common - that's our passion for NDSU and the Bison! The top-ranked, undisputed heavyweight champs of the FCS, and one of the best stories in all of college football, are gearing up for the season opener at Target Field on August 31 . In our inaugural episode, we talk about the quarterback situation with Associate Head Coach/Passing Game Coordinator/QBs Coach, Randy Hedberg. Coach Hedberg answers questions about playing QB in the Bison offense, the mental acuity needed for the position, and, of course, the guys in the room, Trey Lance, Zeb Noland, and Noah Sanders. I also tell you why the Bison offense in August will not be the same offense in November. So sit back, relax, and enjoy Bison talk from a guy that went to games at Dacotah Field, was a ballboy for Rocky Hager and Bob Babich, has been a season ticket holder since the Dome opened in '93, covered the team for The Spectrum and now the Bison Illustrated, and, maybe most importantly, tips a few back with you every fall in the west tailgating lots. And make sure to tune in for the second season of Herd It Hear with Swany every Saturday morning from 8:00-9:00a on 740 The Fan starting August 24. Everybody up for the kickoff, the march is on! 

Relive the 2018 FCS Playoff Field with the benefit of hindsight on this week's "Best Of" episode. Swany and Nolan are celebrating America's birthday, and hit the rewind button, playing back the 2018 FCS Playoff Selection Show. Joined by Sam Herder from HERO Sports, how right were their playoff predictions? It's the closest thing to American Top 40 with Casey Kasem, so fill up the cooler, start up the grill, and shoot off fireworks, this week, on the Bison Illustrated "Best Of" Podcast!

It's a black tie gala affair as we introduce with much fanfare, anticipation, exuberation, and alliteration our Inaugural Annual Bison Awards! Recognizing the best individual performances this year in North Dakota State athletics, Swany and Nolan bestow awards for meritorious achievement in 19 different categories including Best Championship Performance, Best Moment, Best Male and Female Athlete, and Coach of the Year. Relive a year of championship excellence, here, where champions come to talk, on the Bison Illustrated Podcast!

The Bison Illustrated's Ross Uglem sits down with Easton Stick to discuss Stick's draft preparation. In a wide-ranging 35 minute interview, Uglem and Stick cover everything from why the all-time winningest QB in FCS history chose North Dakota State to the NFL Draft Combine. It's a can't miss interview with the fleet-footed, savvy gunslinger who will be a draft steal for the team smart enough to pick him. Speaking of excellence, Swany and Nolan trumpet the historic shot put exploits of NDSU's Payton Otterdahl. The junior set an all-time NCAA record in the indoor shot put, chucking it further than anyone else in collegiate history. Meanwhile, Swany and Nolan discuss how far the Bison men's hoops team will go in March. Drink it in, it always goes down smooth on the Bison Illustrated Podcast!

Extra, extra, read all about it! The Bison Illustrated released its 2018 FCS National Championship Commemorative Edition Special Issue. With eight words in the title, you know it's legit! The issue lives up to the hype. It has interviews with all of your favorites -- Easton Stick, President Bresciani, Coach Entz, and a roundtable with five seniors talking about their careers and the capstone 15-0 perfect season. Bison senior defensive back Jaylaan Wimbush takes you inside championship week like nobody else can as he journaled the entire trip to Frisco for Bison Illustrated. Swany and Nolan talk about the misguided efforts of a Grand Forks state senator trying to compel NDSU and UND to play for a new rivalry trophy. Our verdict? You may be surprised. Or you may not.

By - Joshua A. Swanson Once again, the Bison are headed back to Frisco, Texas for the FCS National Championship game. In one of the most anticipated games in North Dakota State history, the Herd dominated rival South Dakota State 44-21 to earn their seventh trip to the national title game in eight years, ending SDSU's season in the process. The Herd was led by senior quarterback Easton Stick, who turned in one of the best big-game performances ever by a Bison when it mattered most. Stick rushed for 147 yards and three TDs, and connected on 12-of-15 passes for another 169 yards and a TD. The Jacks had no answer for a dominating Bison offense and the Walter Payton finalist and 1st-team AP All-American. The Herd piled up 608 total yards and held a 35:00 to 25:00 minute time of possession advantage.   Swany is joined by the FCS Face the Nation round table of Chase Miller and Nolan P. Schmidt from  Bison Illustrated to recap Chris Klieman's final game at the Dome as head coach, the transition to NDSU's next head coach, Matt Entz, and what it means to get back to Frisco. In an emotional week for the Bison, NDSU put to rest any talk of distractions caused by the coaching change. NDSU awaits the winner of Eastern Washington and Maine in their quest to finish an undefeated 15 - 0, and become one of the best teams in FCS history.   The stars at night, are big and bright, deep in the heart of Texas, this week, on Herd It Hear With Swany. ** For more great audio content with Swany, check out the  Bison Illustrated Podcast!

By - Joshua A. Swanson It's the annual early morning quarterfinal kickoff as the Bison take on Toothpaste U from upstate New York. All kidding aside, Colgate brings the FCS's top-ranked defense to the Fargodome to face a North Dakota State team hitting on all cylinders. Fresh off a 52-10 thumping of Montana State, NDSU's focus remains singular -- Frisco, Texas. Can the Patriot League champs keep up with a physically dominant, hungry Bison team looking to continue their undefeated season and championship drive?  Swany Says that NDSU has another big, big day, as the visiting Raiders will find themselves over-matched and out-gunned.  On the FCS Face The Nation round table, Swany is joined by The Fan's Chase Miller, and Nolan P. Schmidt, editor of  Bison Illustrated , to discuss the rumors swirling around NDSU's coaching situation. It's the hottest topic in BisoNation this week. Will Chris Klieman be the next head coach for former Bison athletic director Gene Taylor at Kansas State. If Klieman takes the KSU job, who should NDSU tap as its next head coach? Swany goes through the names you've been talking about all week. The guys discuss the four quarterfinal contests this weekend, including Maine taking down No. 2 Weber State in Utah last night. Ring in some holiday football cheer with your pals on Herd It Hear With Swany.  ** Check out the Bison Illustrated Podcast for more high octane takes on Bison Football and the NDSU's coaching situation  here .

By - Joshua A. Swanson The FCS Playoffs start today, featuring "The Bracket of Doom" with the four best teams in the country on the same side of the bracket. You want controversy? We've got it. The Committee's decision to put North Dakota State, South Dakota State, James Madison, and Kennesaw State on the same side of the bracket has folks from sea to shining sea -- outside of Eastern Washington and Weber State -- asking what was the NCAA thinking.  Swany is joined by Nolan P. Schmidt of the  Bison Illustrated and Chase Miller to ask the hard questions and tell you who ends up in Frisco, Texas on January 5. The guys discuss the aftermath of Selection Sunday, the Top 8 seeds, what made sense, and what didn't. Miller says the Selection Committee more or less got it right, while Swany and Nolan say this bracket is a travesty of football justice. Zeroing in from a big picture perspective, the distinguished panel goes through each of the four 6-team pods and discuss who has a realistic shot to play for a national championship. Do the Bison win their seventh national championship in eight years? Find out, this week, on a special edition of Herd It Hear With Swany. ** For more reaction and analysis of the FCS Playoff Field, check out the Bison Illustrated Podcast's FCS Playoff Special hosted by Swany  here .  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

It's a Thanksgiving feast this week at the Bison Illustrated Podcast! We bring you not one, not two, but three episodes in seven days in our cornucopia of all things North Dakota State to ring in the most wonderful time of the year. Swany and Nolan are joined by Bison Illustrated resident hoops guru Dan Slaubaugh to preview the 2018 - 2019 basketball team. The Bison have many new -- and talented -- players on the roster. The Herd's athleticism is through the roof this season, and the team can score faster than you can down Thanksgiving day pie! The guys think that by the time March rolls around, these guys could make some noise. Get your early hoops fix with all the stuffing and trimmings here, on the Bison Illustrated Podcast!

North Dakota State prevailed in a gutsy 17-7 win against Youngstown State, improving to 9-0 overall and clinching a share of their eighth straight Missouri Valley Football Conference title. Swany and Nolan are joined by Bison Illustrated newbie Ross Uglem, the ultimate Bison analyst, to discuss the how's and why's of NDSU's wire-to-wire dominance this season. Position by position, the trifecta of Swany, Nolan, and Ross talk about how the Bison have positioned themselves for a championship run when the playoffs start later this month. Speaking of playoffs, who could NDSU see this postseason? We've got that covered, and preview the matchup with Missouri State. Because just like the Bison Football team, we're all about excellence, each and every week, on the Bison Illustrated podcast!

Another week, another statement win by North Dakota State. That seems to be the top story in the FCS this year. The Bison road-runner'ed the South Dakota Coyotes in a 59-14 thrashing where the game was over before the horn sounded on the first quarter. Swany and Nolan say the 2018 Bison are putting together a special run, and are the most dominating FCS teams in recent memory (well, going back to 2013, anyway). The guys also say it's darn time that Walter Payton voters stop being lazy and pay attention to NDSU quarterback Easton Stick. Stick is the best QB in the FCS, and leads the country in the most important statistic there is -- winning. If you could choose one QB to lead your team, wouldn't every coach in the FCS go with Stick? We think so. With the playoffs drawing ever closer, there's one big question on everyone's mind. Can anybody in the FCS catch the Bison. It's all tricks and some treats, this week, on the Bison Illustrated podcast!

By - Joshua A.Swanson After a two-game hiatus, North Dakota State is back at the friendly confines of the Fargodome against Illinois State, one of the designated "it" teams by the FCS media. Is the hype overblown, or are the Redbirds poised for a breakthrough win against the Bison?  Swany Says with no victories against a team with a winning record, Illinois State has jumped out to its 5-1 record on the back of a schedule softer than jello (that includes a NAIA team).  Jalen Allison, another in the long line of stalwarts and shutdown cornerbacks for NDSU, joins the program to talk about Code Green's strong performance this season. The Bison have turned 14 turnovers into 66 points, including another defensive touchdown last weekend at Western Illinois. The Bison see another stud offensive player in Redbirds running back James Robinson today. If the Herd can contain Robinson, it should be a big day for the good guys.  The popular FCS Face The Nation round table talks about the state of the FCS and ever-emerging playoff picture. A win today goes a long ways in deciding the Missouri Valley Football Conference race. Nolan P. Schmidt, editor of  Bison Illustrated , and Chase Miller from 740AM The Fan, chime in with their unique FCS game-breaking analysis that you can only get here. Do they agree with the FCS talking heads that the Bison are ripe for an upset? Their answers may surprise you. Or they may not. Kickoff your Bison weekend with America's favorite lawyer turned weekly radio host, your old buddy Swany, on Herd It Hear With Swany! See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

By - Joshua A. Swanson The glory will rain precipitously from the heavens for North Dakota State in today's nonconference showdown with upstart North Alabama. Swany is joined by Bison defensive tackles coach Nick Goeser, who details how critical it will be for the defensive front to contain the Lions dual threat quarterback, Christian Lopez. Luke Bacon, the senior starting guard for the Herd, is fresh off his bye-week hauling bails and working on the family farm back in Granville, North Dakota. Bacon explains how important it is for the rams to communicate before, during, and after each play. The show rounds out with Nolan Schmidt, the editor of  Bison Illustrated , previewing the keys to the matchup , and Chase Miller and Swany taking a lap around the FCS and making their game predictions. It's all here, this week, on Herd it Hear with Swany!  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

By - Joshua A. Swanson I got those bye-week blues! Those no good, ain't no Bison game on today, don't know what I'm gonna do blues ...  I hear you. A bye in Week 2 is as natural as a two-dollar bill or six legged elephant. No fear, friends. I've got you covered. We still had a show, and it's the perfect elixir to get you through the only Saturday between now and early January without Bison football (not counting a bye in the first round of the playoffs around Thanksgiving). Okay, maybe we're getting a bit ahead of ourselves, but you know what I mean. On this week's show, I had a chance to visit with NDSU offensive line coach Conor Riley. His group, the "rams," paved the way for 458 rushing yards in a 49-3 route of Cal Poly. The "machines," a/k/a, our running backs, toted the rock for an average 10.2 yards per carry and scored 7 touchdowns! We asked Coach Riley about the offensive line, the depth at the group, and what the coaches are looking for headed into next week's game against North Alabama.  Nolan P. Schmidt, the editor-in-chief of Bison Illustrated, stopped by for his weekly cup of coffee and to relive a tough week in the Missouri Valley with Northern Iowa and Western Illinois both falling in Montana last week, and a HUGE game tonight in Brookings as the Jacks square off against Montana State. Chase Miller talks about NDSU's next opponent, North Alabama, and their dual threat QB, Christian Lopez, who had 456 total yards and 4 TDs in an upset win against defending Big Sky champ Southern Utah in Week 1.   Wash away those bye-week blues with a tall glass of Herd it Hear with Swany, and check out my  Bison Illustrated Podcast with Nolan for more great content!  And, as always, remember, the  Strength of the Herd is the Bison, and the Strength of the Bison is the Herd !  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Defenses around the FCS are on notice, the NDSU aerial attack should not be trifled with! The Bison turned in complete performances in all three phases of the game, including Easton Stick's 15-of-21 passing effort, to cruise to a 38 - 11 win over Missouri Valley opponent Missouri State to start conference play. Swany and Joe recap the victory, the big day from NDSU's passing game, and another lockdown performance by the best defense in the country that saw the return of the FCS's top defensive player, Nick DeLuca. The victory wasn't without setbacks, though, as the Bison lost Dan Marlette with a season-ending knee injury. The guys analyze the start of Valley play as Youngstown State flexed its muscles against South Dakota State, and South Dakota toppled Western Illinois, and preview this week's matchup versus Indiana State.

Kickoff your Homecoming Weekend with the Bison Illustrated podcast! North Dakota State finished its non-conference portion of the schedule as the most dominant team in the FCS.

Swany, Joe, and regular contributor/great FCS mind Sam Herder recap the first month of action with the Bison set to open Missouri Valley Football Conference play this weekend in their homecoming game against Missouri State, and preview the upcoming meat grinder that is the Valley schedule. The guys talk about what has stood out to them as the Bison have outscored their first three opponents by a ridiculous 168-20 margin. Can the team keep that train rolling against the Bears, and with five conference teams rated in the FCS Top 10, which, if any of the MVFC teams will separate themselves from the pack. Swany shares his story of attending an NDSU Alumni Association watch party last weekend in Las Vegas, while Joe and Sam take us around the FCS. The guys even coined a stellar nickname for NDSU’s backfield trio of Dunn (best player in the FCS this year so far), Anderson, and Brooks that you won’t want to miss! It’s all here, and more, this week on the Bison Illustrated podcast!
