I am jealous, here in Alaska we hope to start HS games April 25, if the snow is gone.

When are your first games?

Had a college scrimmage here in Georgia yesterday, 1/22; freebie to get some rust off (it has been 17 days since my last game 1/5, mind you, although that was in warmer Florida). First scheduled (paying) games are Friday, 2/11. I believe there may be games 2/5, but I don't have them due to the ASA UIC Clinic.

My first games are a JC DH next Tuesday, Feb 1.

Haven't been on the field since Thansgiving weekend...so I plan on being a bit sore.....

HS kickoff was a week and a half ago...training classes throughout the rest of the month. First HS games around Feb 24th....

ASA kickoff was Saturday, ASA tourney this weekend....

Not much happening around here for quite some time. With 4' of snow on the diamonds, it's hard to get games in.

Smile Games today
Here in South Texas, we've been doing games 2 days a week since January 6. Have a triple header today to make up for a rain out. Kinda chilly with the forecast only in the upper 60s!

Actually, housing in Minot is at a premium with the oil boom going on. In a triangle from Minot to Williston down to Dickinson (now draw a line from Dickinson to Minot), housing is hard to find. Bismarck/Mandan hasn't felt that pressure....yet.

Congrats on your ISF, BTW.

All the WA and OR guys (Brandon, John, Don and Don) got theirs also.

See you in a week...

Congratulations.

I remember both you and Darrell looking for a brand to "school" me on beer; we ended up drinking Bud Light, as I recall, because you couldn't find anything you preferred.

Buy you a beer?? Well, it's happened before.
