Please tell me it was the law school......

Anyone can get into med school or law school if you have a stellar undergrad resume. Hell you can even go to Minot State if needed. I think the point is you don’t need to at the top of your class to get into UND med or especially law school, but you will get some preference playing for UND. UND has a great med school but there are some much more prestigious programs I would rather attend.

This is an actual crisis for the Summit whether the blind faithful at Ag U want to believe it or not. Something needs to be done to stabilize the Summit. I agree SV exaggerations are pretty crazy when it comes to FBS WAC conversations, but his concerns about the summit are REAL!

No FBS conference is going to accept NDSU unless they are hurting for a member. There are no FBS conferences that are hurting for a new member from ND. Why would they want to split payouts with another school? Only way NDSU goes FBS is if a new league is formed or everyone revives WAC FBS. Otherwise it will NEVER happen.

I think we have a chance to win each game on the schedule and have what it takes to keep each game close. If the offense gets on a roll it will be a fun fall to watch!

From the Herald article the photo of Noah reminds me of Hendrickson. Hopefully he will be that good and even better! The defense this year looks as good as ever with only one position light on depth (NG)

I don’t see it unless he is clearly better than the other players or if we are hurting for depth.

Not the greatest outlook for ND production, but a war with Iran could change that.... https://www.spglobal.com/platts/en/market-insights/latest-news/oil/072619-tallgrass-ceo-not-sure-if-bakken-production-profile-supports-more-large-pipe-takeaway-capacity There is a ton of proposed oil pipelines planned for ND right now and some will not be built because production cannot support them all. Losing the Philadelphia refinery rail shipments will help pipelines but cost the producers $. My guess is the expansion proposals will win out against the new builds. Dakota Access can double capacity with just new pump stations (millions) compared to Phillips 66/Bridger JV (billion+). Kinder Morgan and Tallgrass is also proposing to increase capacity of the double H line out of ND with just more pumps. It will be interesting who the producers end up signing on to.

Grand Forks is lucky to have the airport they have now. Many bigger towns don’t have an airport that nice. Williston has a ton of travelers so they needed the bigger airport.

This is a problem for all small airports. United and Delta stick with one hub because it is easier to operate. I live out west and United and Delta only fly to Denver and Salt Lake which makes it a pain to fly anywhere in the eastern Midwest. Is there any small airport out there that flies to MSP and Salt Lake?

I can’t wait to see the new offense that actually utilizes the big talent we have on the roster. I have a feeling seeing this offense will make me pissed we stuck with Rudolph way too long.

I wonder how that research on the Cut Bank formation went. I was part of one of the first horizontal fracturing jobs on that formation and never did hear if the new technology helped the field produce more oil. This CO2 flooding for enhanced oil recovery could mean big things to these old fields and dying communities around them.

But was he born into a true Bison family? If his grandpa played at UND it would be just like his dad and uncle switching it up by going to NDSU. I have a feeling NDSU only offered a PWO and UND offered a partial. Seems like an easy decision to me.

I think that’s Bo’s grandpa who is a dentist in New Rockford. It would be nice to draw some fans from New Rockford to cheer on the hometown stud wearing green and white!

Real order should be: Fargo>Bismarck>Grand Forks>Minot>Jamestown>Dickinson> Williston> All other cities in ND small towns are ok for people who stay inside all day....

Big projects like this are bought and sold all the time. If it was economical I wonder why someone didn’t step in to finish the project? They could have gotten a fire sale on all the upfront work. CF could have also stepped in to the project to build the plant instead of just a contract supplying the CHS distribution plants.

Reality vs Insanity...... if he would quit posting outrageous hypothesis that he is trying to sell as fact I wouldn’t feel compelled to correct him. He does the same thing in the conference discussions too. No fact just speculation.

You obviously can’t read. The reason they are trying to develop this process is to find a SUSTAINABLE method to produce ammonia and reduce the carbon footprint ammonia production has on the world. Burning natural gas to create electricity would do the exact opposite. Natural gas fired generation is also not the cheapest way to produce electricity.

Yes that is a up and coming technology that would use NO NATURAL GAS. How would that help reduceflaring in ND???? It has no relevance in this thread. Are you saying we should not build fertilizer plants in ND that would use natural gas? You are once again proving my point that you know nothing.....

There is no plastic or petrochemical plant proposed yet and even if proposed it still is a long way from actually getting built. Building the midstream infrastructure is the easy and least risky investment when you have long term contracts backing its construction and operation. This is why billionaires are lined up to finance this piece. They are not putting their dollars up to build the plant. Until there is an end user for the midstream assets you will not see anything built. The biggest factor is getting a petrochemical plant actually built. The rest is simple.

Good news is the urea production diversified their production. Will it be enough to save Basin Electric,who knows? Unfortunately it does not make a lot of sense to make synthetic natural gas from coal at these low prices. It’s going to be rough for any company that works with coal as we go towards our green energy future. Hopefully they can refocus on carbon capture or maybe producing more ammonia from coal. Syngas may be uneconomical for this lifetime.

https://www.dakotagas.com/news-center/publications/basin-today/urea-production-facility-benefiting-farmers-north-dakota-and new urea plant is working out well for Dakota Gas, still unclear why CHS and the Great Plains Nitrogen plants cant make the economics work

https://www.minotdailynews.com/news/local-news/2019/01/fertilizer-prices-projected-to-be-up-this-spring/ Dakota Gas produces half of the fertilizer (ammonia, urea, etc) consumed in the state. So much for being a pittance......

There isn’t a cheaper way to produce ammonia. They don’t burn the natural gas to get nitrous oxides. The natural gas and water is steam reformed with air to make Nitrogen, hydrogen and carbon dioxide gases. This is the process the GLOBE uses to make ammonia. Urea production is just a further step using the ammonia. A Grand Forks plant will have to build out their own distribution elevators in order to market urea. The agreement with CHS and CF industries will not purchase urea from a competitors plant. Plus any increase in local urea production will have to push out the ammonia fertilizer that is currently being used. If building another fertilizer plant in the state was a good investment it already would have been done. There is a reason the Grand Forks or CHS plants have not been built. you might as well stay away from this thread again for another couple of weeks because you are way off base on how this industry works. All you are doing is speculating on something you know nothing about.

KEM got her way, it’s time to put up or shut up!
