Ain't nothing sexy about playing in cold weather and rain, but man alive, it's football weather, brother! North Dakota State brings its punishing grinder of a rushing attack to the plains of Western Illinois for a pivotal Missouri Valley Football Conference showdown against the Leathernecks. Your good buddy Swany is joined by Bison senior running back, play-maker, and All-American Bruce Anderson, to talk shop on the NDSU philosophy of grounding teams into the turf. 

The FCS Face the Nation round table of Swany, Nolan P. Schmidt, and Chase Miller give their cutting edge analysis of a make or break weekend in the FCS. Oh, the questions! Can James Madison, Weber State, and Montana rebound from unexpected losses to Elon, Northern Arizona, and Portland State? Will South Dakota State show it deserves the No. 2 national ranking against Bo Pelini's disgruntled Youngstown State Penguins. And does North Dakota notch a big one against the same Montana team looking for a big bounce back. Nothing comes easy in the FCS during these dogs days of the fall where seeds are made and playoff dreams crushed! Live the FCS dream, with Herd It Hear With Swany!
