Welcome πŸ™ to Saturday as we prepare to show January the Door πŸšͺ!!! Here’s our Morning πŸŒ„ Brew

Welcome to the Weekend

As the second round of weather is upon us now, we already know that the Wrestling has been moved.

Elijah Cox and Randolph College are slated to play up at Exit 313 in Winchester today. Shenandoah University is set to welcome the Wildcats.

Over in the Smokey Mountains of Tennessee, we have some dedicated Carroll County Volleyball 🏐 players set to compete for Cindy Edwards and her staff. With both Travis Osborne and Marion Harris on hand βœ‹we should be in a position where we can show some appreciation for this group of Ladies.

Speaking of Travis, his Bible Verse πŸ™ of the Day:

Philemon 1:6 That the communication of thy faith may become effectual by the acknowledging of every good thing which is in you in Christ Jesus.

As for the two of us, we have wondered up from the safety of the Desert 🏜 towards the Top of the State in hopes of visiting more of the 11 College campuses here in the Bee 🐝 Hive state where College Hoops are played.

Two of the 11 are Utah Tech and Southern Utah University, down in our end. The other nine are in the Greater Salt Lake City area.

Utah State – 11am

Weber State – Noon

Salt Lake CC (JuCo)….off

Westminster University – D2 1 &3 pm

University of Utah – 4pm (Men)

Snow College ❄ (JuCo) 1 & 3

Utah State – Eastern (JuCo) 1 & 3

Utah Valley University

Brigham Young University – 2pm

Amazingly 9 of the 11 will be hosting Basketball πŸ€ games today ranging in Tip Times of 11am Mountain β›° until 4pm Mountain.

How much wood could a woodchuck chuck, sounds like a good question ???

We will see some College Basketball today but I’m not sure if it will rival what we watched last night.
