Congratulations to the ladies on the basketball team. They are going to the OVC tournament. The first round will probably at SEMO. The women play the first round at the schools then go to Nashville for the rest. Men start in Nashville. Of course, we aren't going to that one! We are last in the conference.

All the teams are out of town this weekend. You can follow several of the games on the Gamecock website. http://www.jsugamecocksports.com/.

Baseball is scheduled to play UAB Tuesday @ 6:30PM. I heard a rumor that it is going to be 50 cent hotdog night. Not sure on that. Weather is supposed to be brutal though. Another cold front coming through. Come on spring! I don't do cold weather well.

Just a quick note. They cancelled the second game of the double-header in softball last night. Too cold. Gotta say that it didn't break my heart! I wasn't looking forward to freezing. Just hate that it's so long till the next home games.

The baseball team picked up their first win of the season last night. I missed the game. I don't get off work till 4:30 so these 3 o'clock games are too early to make.

Softball has a double-header tonight. The first game starts at 3 but I hope to get there in time to shoot the second game. It's going to be very cold. They won't be in town again until the 21st of March. I plan to go to the weekend games in Atlanta next weekend.

Feel free to leave comments on any of my posts. I don't have anyway of knowing if I'm getting any viewers here.

Looks like Friday night baseball might get rained out. Weather report doesn't sound too promising. I don't know if they'll play 2 Saturday to make it up or not. I know the training staff will be spread pretty thin.

Congrats to the softball team. They won 2 from Chattanooga last night. They will be home next week for a doubleheader against Kennesaw State on Wednsday then went be home again until March 21st.

I hope to have the pictures from last night's game posted tonight. If you want to be notified when I update the site with latest pictures, feel free to email me.

Congrats to both basketball teams for their wins on Saturday and good luck to the ladies in their bid to get a berth in the OVC tourney. They're within a game of making it. There's a chance we'll play Samford in the first round. That would be great. Samford's close enough for fans to make the trip.

Looking forward to softball's home opener against Chattanooga on Wednesday. It's a double-header with the first game starting at 4PM. I'll miss most of that one because of my day job, but I'll get there in time to see the second game.

Baseball opens this weekend. I'll miss the Friday game (work again) but I plan to be there for Saturday and Sunday's games. I talked to Greg Seitz and he tells me they are looking real good this year.

Softball was cancelled due to the threat of bad weather. The rain was late getting here, we could have played at least one game! Now it's going to be another week before the home opener. I'm getting anxious.

If your going to the women's basketball game tomorrow, be sure and wear pink. I stopped by Wal-Mart last night and got a pink shirt. Think that's the first one I've ever owned. Other than a few when I washed color and whites together!

I stopped by Camera Inn yesterday. He has a lens that I would love to have. It's 300mm 2.8. It would be great for softball and baseball night games. I'm saving my pennies.

Hope to see you at tomorrow's basketball games.

Some Ramblings

I've heard that Jim Fuller told SEMO he would not move the game till the end of the season, so it looks like it's still on for the Saturday of race week. That'll hurt attendance I bet.

Alabama State has pulled out of their game and Ga Tech has moved the game to Thursday night. That'll throw wrenches in the tailgate party plans.

We're now down to 9 games in what should be a 12 game schedule. Hope they can pick up at least one game. Haven't heard any rumors about who they are trying to get.

Spring practice starts next week (I think). The J-Day game is scheduled for March 8th. Duck is going to be cooking his famous hamburgers. Worth going just to get one of those!

Also, the "Spring Fling" has been cancelled. I think soccer has a 7 on 7 planned for March 8th. The Charlie Pell Golf tournament is back on at Silver Lakes for March 8th also. I hope it goes better since they are moving it back there.

Looks like I'll be running all over the place trying to get some pictures on the 8th! Should be a fun day.

While I'm here, the rifle team won the OVC tournament for the 4th straight year and softball went 2-2 at Alabama. The softball team is supposed to play UAB tomorrow night but the weather doesn't sound too promising.

Basketball will be home Thursday night. The ladies have only two home games left. These are very important for the tournament play. The top 8 teams go and the last time I checked we were at number 6 which would make for a much more friendly game in the first round!

Upcoming Events

Not too much going on this weekend on campus. I am going to try to get to Tuscaloosa for Saturday's softball games.

Tennis (M&W) are playing Friday, but my "day job" will prevent me from shooting that.

Basketball returns next Tuesday night. The ladies are still in the running for a playoff spot in the OVC tournament. You only have a couple of chances left to see them play.

Thank You

Thanks for all the emails. I really appreciate getting them. I had a great time shooting the softball fan day. Looking forward to another great season from the ladies.
