I enjoyed a lovely morning up on Buck Prairie yesterday. Snow had fallen overnight, the sun had come out, and the surface in the sunny areas seemed like it was covered in tiny diamonds. I was the first in snowshoes for the day. I was about the fourth car there. When I left, before noon, the parking lot off Dead Indian Memorial Road was packed.

@SOURaiders @ADurand25 @souwbb @Tiani_Bradford

New national rankings came out today, and SOU remained at #4. When all is said and done, there is no difference between #1 and #4 as four teams will receive #1 seeds in the national tournament.

Eastern Oregon University is coming to town this Saturday, and they moved up to #17. Massey has EOU at #13.

Snowy Medford from the air

I’ve flown into Medford dozens of times over the years (usually after dark), but two days ago, on our way back from Las Vegas (Sedona and the Grand Canyon), was the first time I’ve seen Medford look anything like this on an aerial approach.
