West Virginia Tech University Baseball is set to compete in the Clash of Conferences down in Tennessee once again this season ! February 6th and 7th are the dates and fingers crossed 🀞 that Mother Nature cooperates !

Home opener is set for February 21st in Beckley at Linda K Epling Stadium 🏟..

Let’s call πŸ“ž this one : A little bit of this and a little bit of that as we prepare to say Goodbye to the Desert 🏜 for a week…

Tomorrow morning πŸŒ„ we head to the most all over the place weather forecast in recent years.
Making sure we took full advantage of the 67Β° afternoon.

10:43 am Mountain β›° Time, we are scheduled to depart SGU Airport enroute to Greensboro, North Carolina

The Hill weather Forecast for the coming days. Thankfully we have Kris Richardson playing the Weatherman for us. Being that Kris will be put out about the snow ❄ as much as us ( he will have to go out and clear the roads for VDOT ), I feel comfortable with the information.

Three hikes πŸšΆβ€β™‚οΈ today and each one hit both goals ! Minimum goals of 60 minutes  and two miles…

Not everyday you see a sign for Bats. If offered up encouragement on the final leg of the third hike πŸšΆβ€β™‚οΈ!
While we would like to publicly say Thank You to Miami for representing the ACC up to this point, Indiana University winning tonight would be a made for Disney movie πŸŽ₯…

Tomorrow morning πŸŒ„ will get here soon enough and we are aware of the weather forecast that awaits us…

The dates πŸ“… for the SoCon Women’s Basketball πŸ€ tournament…

The Basketball πŸ€ chase across the United States πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ concluded with a game on ” The Farm ” at Stanford University !!!

Lin with the Opening Jump of Duke University Women’s Basketball game πŸ€ at Stanford University.

The Farm :

Marketing is the Love πŸ’˜ of my Life, especially in my later years and everything that Stanford University did today was designed to enhance the two hours spent inside their Maples 🍁 Pavillion. Wow, did it work !!

The Band was highly entertaining, very colorful and not a single ounce of negativity directed at the visiting fans or players !!!

One of the two giveaway items today was a Stanford University Cardinal rally towel.

The court itself will forever be named in the honor of Coach Tara Vandervere, number two on the All-Time Wins list in Men’s / Women’s College Basketball πŸ€.

The crowd was both knowledgeable and loud which was impressive 10 fold when you factor in the San Francisco 49ers were beating the Philadelphia Eagles at the same time. The 49ers play their home games a stones throw from The Farm 🚜

They had a bonus offer from a local restaurant for a free Cheeseburger πŸ” if Duke missed consecutive free throws in the second half and thankfully the home fans went home hungry….

The Cal- πŸš†train dropped us off two miles from the Gym which created a beautiful hike πŸšΆβ€β™‚οΈ across the gorgeous Campus !

The day was highlighted by spending it with the Love πŸ’˜ of my Life and watchingΒ  πŸ‘€ a well played D1 College Basketball game. The fact that it was Kira Lawson and her Lady Blue Devils just iced the cake πŸŽ‚

The next stop βœ‹ on the picture perfect day was a great dinner 🍽 at the Blue Line Pizza in Burlingame

The Mascot was on fire πŸ”₯

Tomorrow morning πŸŒ„ we will head backΒ  to St.George by way of Los Angeles and will turn our Basketball attention to the young Ladies who play for Howard Mayo as the Lady Cavaliers host Cave Spring High School 🏫 on The Hill…

The Hill, the Fort, the Farm, the Swamp, Death Valley and for the Smoot Family we will add the Horseshoe. Michigan has The Big House and Duke plays in the Bull City. See, Marketing is FUN!!!
