Our season opening Baseball ⚾️ trip to Tennessee has been moved from Friday and Saturday to Sunday and Monday as snow ❄ continues to make life difficult for many.
On the College level for Basketball we have three games that play a role in the night.
Alyssa Ervin and the Paladins host the only team to defeat them in conference play tonight when UT – Chattanooga comes to town. This game starts the second half of the SoCon schedule as March Madness is just around the corner.
Duke University at Louisville is a battle of unbeaten teams in the ACC. The KFC 🍗 Yum! Center should be a happening place at 7pm / 5pm.
After dueling Women’s Basketball showdowns, the night will conclude with a five mile drive 🚗 across town to see the Trailblazers Men host UT – Arlington.
Stay safe, stay warm and whenever possible, Stay kind !

We will wrap things up with a smile 😃 guaranteed to brighten your Day !

Howard Mayo with his Motovational Nugget for the Day :Travis Osborne and his Bible Verse of the Day :
Isaiah 55:10 For as the rain cometh down, and the snow from heaven, and returneth not thither, but watereth the earth, and maketh it bring forth and bud, that it may give seed to the sower, and bread to the eater:
It’s Baseball ⚾️ Week for our Golden Bears 🐻!!!! But the games are scheduled to be played around the corner from where the Volleyball tournament just took place so it will be interesting for sure.
Yesterday afternoon we swung a little out of our way after the Basketball 🏀 Bonanza and drove up to Capitol Reef National Park
Will create a post 📫 from it here in a bit but will add that because of the bizarre weather here over the weekend ( Way hotter than normal ) it was like we had the National Park to ourselves. People don’t make plans to drive up 10,000 feet on February 1st…..
🙏🙏🙏 for the VDOT crews and guidance for when its safe to get our Kiddos back to School 🏫.
Thank You to those who took the time to read the Kim Weddle story – it was a fun write ✍ about a neat individual !
– for baseball enthusiasts a new season signifies the end of winter and the hope that spring is near. Our team will continue chasing after a championship that hasn’t been won by a TECH Baseball team since 1947. Since ‘08 we have set a school record three times for most wins in a season (40 in ‘16), played for the championship in ‘17 and reached semi-finals in ‘15, ‘16 and ‘24.
2). We will be lead by the depth of our pitching staff. We return several quality arms from last year’s team and have added some outstanding guys that are going to make an immediate impact. Offensively, we are replacing seven starters and will need to be as scrappy bunch that have to “do the little things well”.
3). Our guys excelled in every aspect during the fall semester. 8 weeks of Fall ball gave us a chance to evaluate the new guys, learn each other on and the field. Our team worked hard in the weight room, along with combined efforts in fundraising and community service activities. Our guys earned an exceptional 2.38 team GPA.
4). The biggest objective of each year is to develop a team culture that exhibits a “Will to Win, a respect for the game and a sense of identity. This year’s group needs to play good defense, pitch well and execute situational hitting. If you do the little things-the big thing will happen!
5). Energy, Enthusiasm & Excitement…
These guys enjoy being around each other and I’m confident that fans are going to see a team that is having fun. We have an outstanding group of coaches who are passionate about the game and are great teachers. Our Goal is to Win Championships along with achieving a 3.0 GPA. That combination of good teachers & students can make great entertainment at the ballpark.
