Two women have rings of their own following North Dakota State University’s win on Saturday in the Football Championship Subdivision title game — not championship rings but engagement rings.
WDAY-TV reports that two NDSU offensive linemen proposed to their girlfriends (http://bit.ly/1u2VopB)while fans were storming the field in Frisco, Texas, following NDSU’s 29-27 win over Illinois State. It was the fourth consecutive national title for the Bison.
NDSU offensive lineman Zac Johnson proposed to Trisha Goerts.

Johnson: “Actually, the night before was the last-minute decision to actually do it. I told my mom to bring the ring with her, have it in her purse.”
Goerts: “It all just happened so fast. I don’t even remember what he said to be honest. I just couldn’t stop kissing him and I was so excited and it was just great.”
Several feet away, offensive lineman Jesse Hinz proposed to Gretchen Folkerts.

Hinz: “I wanted our families to be there. I knew her family and my family were going to be there, and I wanted our families to be there and involved and be able to take pictures and savor the moment.”
Folkerts: “It was fun to go out with a bang like this and then start a new chapter in our lives at the same time.”
