NDSU Gets Key Reality Check Ahead of Hawaii

North Dakota State still has a shot at a spot in the Mountain West Conference championship game, but the Bison have a clear reminder of what’s ahead. The weekly SP+ rankings for FBS teams show that the Bison, ranked No. 34, only beat a bottom-three FBS squad in UTEP last time out, and that is a concern going forward. NDSU overcame a slow start on offense and a fast start by the Miners to win 31-7 on Oct. 31, and it’s clear that the Bison will need a stronger showing against Hawaii (3-6), ranked No. 120 in the SP+, on Saturday night in Honolulu.

First-Time Hawaii Surfers Face A Risk Few Know About

Most visitors booking their first surf lesson in Hawaii worry about falling off the board, not how long they’ll spend lying on it waiting for waves. Yet Hawaii researchers have documented a rare spinal cord injury that can develop without a wipeout or collision, potentially from spending too long face down with the back arched. Even the gentle waves of a beginner surf lesson in Waikiki don’t eliminate that concern.
