Yes game thread is for the game. putting my MBA to work with innovation and positive energy. I think we win this game and defense and special teams will score.

Lets get this started. I saw on you tube a comment from Robert Morris's HC that they are going to run the ball. Against E Kentucky they rushed 24 times for 28 yards. He said they would rush 51 times soon. Next week we will see. DL and LB should have an opportunity to show what they learned last night.

We rushed for 118 yards. Good things to come.

Things to look forward to. Tillman, Hinojosa, Reyes, Ruhr, Taubenheim. But importantly gang tackling and playing with heart. We took a whooping but I see promise this season. Our defense last year would have given up a 100 against this team. Looking forward to how much progress we make this next week.

Game day. Really excited to watch our defense. UND 19-17

Let me puke!

Special teams will need to limit any big mistakes. Hopefully we can block a punt or FG to set the tone for the defense.

Let make a prediction. UND and NDSU will at least one during the 2016 thru 2018 playoffs. Would love to see it in the alerus.

I would be surprised if we win. I will only be happy if we win. A win would be a big booster for the program and the season.

I am thinking special teams will be instrumental in helping this team win some games.

7 days before the first game. Excited. Now we know the depth chart. Interesting, Bubba is in charge and this group will play with heart.

Williston has two retail development both over $500 million. That is besides Menard and the convention center. 15 years Williston will be bigger.

I have been in Williston for 5 years, the growth is massive. Big companies are making huge investments and they would be doing that unless it going to be here for the long term. This isn't just oil companies. Now retail and service companies are investing. A convention center with 16 floors. Starting direct flight from Houston. This is just beginning.

Bismarck-Mandan will also pass Fargo. 15 years Williston will pass or will be pushing Fargo for biggest city. Housing will expand much over the next few years. Retail will explode in the few years. Then more manufacturing. Maybe a pipe dream but I think not.

Last year Sac State lost 24-0 to SJSU. First game of the season.

I received mine as well. Excited and ready to go.

http://blogs.mercurynews.com/sjsu/2014/08/16/takeaways-san-jose-states-final-scrimmage/#more-889 Found this like about SJSU's last scrimmage. They want to run the run and will only need to pass 20 times against us. They plan on a blow out.

Just 2 weeks from tonight. Let the games begin.

The multi pad drilling is reducing the cost of operations. It will be profitable. At a minimum 40,000 more wells to be drilled and many more gas plants. For each new well 1 and 1/2 permanent jobs. So another 60,000 workers in the next 20 years just to service the wells. 3 new refineries will be added. One this year and the other in a couple years. The liquid gas is plentiful and top grade. In the future manufacturing will be added. Williston will be come a major retail shopping center as it is 2 hours to Minot. Over 2 billion in retail development is coming to Williston in the next few years. In August direct flights to Houston will be starting. UND will have a nice connection to the oilfields with the new petrol degrees.
