Reporter Ryan Collingwood, who covers the Missouri State football team for the Springfield Daily Citizen, joins host Mike McFeely to talk about the big game this week between the Bears and North Dakota State at the Fargodome.

Ryan and Mike go back a long way in covering the FCS, so Ryan offers a pragmatic and reasoned perspective on the ballgame. The Bears, like the Bison, are 6-0 in the Missouri Valley Football Conference, which is somewhat surprising considering Missouri State's long and not-very-successful history in FCS.

But Ryan says quarterback Jacob Clark, a transfer from Minnesota, is the real deal and he and the Bears' offense is potent. It should be a good test for the No. 1-ranked Bison.

Forum reporter Melissa Van Der Stad and photo editor Anna Paige join host Mike McFeely to discuss in-depth their recent story chronicling a night of homelessness in downtown Fargo. They followed 72-year-old Lowrie Hogenson for 16 hours to give readers an idea of what it's like to be homeless in our city.

The story humanized those living on the streets and along the banks of the Red River. It was a great bit of journalism that was educational, eye-opening and heartbreaking. You should read it.

Melissa and Anna walk us through how they did the story and what they learned.
