WE’RE HERE, MINOT. 🐝⚔️

No more countdown. No more waiting. No more talk.

IT’S GAME DAY.

Emporia State has made the trip north, and now there’s only one thing left to do:

KICK THE DOOR IN!

From the opening whistle, set the tone. Hit hard. Play fast. Take every damn inch they’ll give you — then take a few they won’t.

This isn’t a sightseeing trip to North Dakota.

We came to play football.
We came to make noise.
We came to PACK THE W UP AND BRING IT HOME.

Blackcreek Diesel & Automotive is here and ready to watch the Hornets go to work.

60 MINUTES.
NO EXCUSES.
NO MERCY.
HANDLE BUSINESS.

Minot — you’ve got company.

🐝 STINGERS UP. LET’S GO HUNTING.

MINOT — THE HORNETS ARE COMING. 🐝⚔️

Enough waiting. Enough talking.

It’s time to hit somebody.

Emporia State Football opens the season ON THE ROAD in Minot, North Dakota, and the mission is simple:

Walk into their house.
Take control.
Silence the crowd.
Pack the W up and bring it home.

This season won’t be given to anybody. Every yard gets earned. Every hit gets remembered. Every opponent gets the same message:

EMPORIA STATE DIDN’T COME TO PARTICIPATE.

Blackcreek Diesel & Automotive is damn proud to stand behind this team — at home on Blackcreek Diesel Field and wherever the schedule sends them.

FIRST STOP: MINOT.

Go north. Raise hell. Handle business.

🐝 STINGERS UP. LET’S GO HUNTING.

As students return to Emporia State University, it’s pretty special to see Blackcreek Diesel Field ready for its first school year.

This partnership has always meant more to us than a name on a football field. It represents a commitment to Emporia State, Hornet Athletics, our community, and the next generation of students and athletes who call Emporia home.

Seeing the Blackcreek Diesel & Automotive name on the field is something our entire team can be proud of. Every technician, operator, customer, and business partner who has supported us over the years has played a part in allowing Blackcreek to give back to the community that helped build us.

To all the students arriving on campus today whether you’re beginning your first semester or coming back for another year welcome home and have a great year.

We’re proud to be part of Hornet Nation, and we’re looking forward to seeing a lot of memories made on Blackcreek Diesel Field this fall.

Stingers Up! 🐝
