Be that as it may, a reader just sent me a note regarding same: North Dakota State University football rolled to a national title three-peat. FoxNews is reporting:
The North Dakota State Bison have taken ownership of the first Saturday in January, this year whipping Towson, 35-7, before a rocking 19,802 at Toyota Stadium to complete a perfect season and become the second FCS program to win a third straight national championship.Toyota Stadium is in Frisco, Texas.
The top-ranked and top-seeded Bison (15-0) tied the 2005-07 Appalachian State teams with their third consecutive national championship, tied the FCS record with a 24th straight win and became the first unbeaten FCS champion since Marshall finished 15-0 in 1996.
And speaking of wins: Washington State won a big one today when a machinists' union voted to accept the Boeing contract which all but guarantees that the company will build the "777X" in Seattle. The Los Angeles Times is reporting:
By the slimmest of margins, aerospace giant Boeing Co.'s largest union approved a controversial contract proposal that cut benefits in exchange for decades of work in Puget Sound on a new jetliner.
The International Assn. of Machinists and Aerospace Workers District 751, which represents more than 31,000 Boeing workers in Washington state, voted 51% Friday in favor of a contract to build the 777X, a more fuel-efficient version of its wide-body jet.
Some may be asking for a recount, looking for hanging ailerons.It is the second time in two months that the union voted on a proposal by Boeing, the biggest private employer in the state with about 82,500 employees and a crucial part of the regional economy. Even though the local union leadership flatly turned the proposal down in December, the union's national leadership scheduled the Friday vote.
