I am a proud graduate of Ferris State University (Big Rapids, MI) -- AKA, the "Harvard of Mecosta County."

Our #7 ranked Bulldog football team won their second straight football game -- in dramatic fashion.

Last week they beat Michigan Tech on a field goal with 7 seconds left -- and this past Saturday they topped that with a TD on 4th and goal with the clock running out in their win over Northwood University (photo above).

Here's the RADIO CALL of the final seconds of this game -- good stuff here!
