The Vegas Venture Forum is a perfect opportunity for an affluent individual looking to provide capital for business start-ups.

Last year we had a little bit of growing pains early on. This year with the whole team chemistry guys have really come together a lot earlier than last year. We are firing on all cylinders right now.

In this game you really can't look past anyone and take them lightly. Otherwise it can sneak up and bite you. We can't look past this weekend and ahead next weekend to Georgia Tech. We really just have to take it one game at a time and just look forward to coming out Friday with a lot of enthusiasm and be ready to play.
