SOU in the snow
… or at least final exams are supposed to begin this morning at 10:30 a.m. Because half a foot of snow was dumped on campus on Friday evening, and temperatures have been between 3 and 25 degrees since, I’m not sure if everyone can make it to campus. Southern Oregon University has postponed today’s 8:00 a.m. finals, but the rest are still on.
SOU Men’s Basketball
Jeff Bush
The Southern Oregon University Basketball Teams went 4-0 this weekend in Ashland. As mentioned previously, the challenges will come to the women in a little over a month. But what about the men?
Concordia was ranked in the Top 15, but the Raiders (ranked #3) beat them fairly easily. Warner Pacific was the pre-season pick to come in second (behind the Raiders) in the Cascade Conference, and that victory for SOU was even easier. Could the Raiders actually be 28-1 by the time they play Concordia on the road in late February? Perhaps it is way too early to make such a prediction, but a 28-1 record by 2/22/14 seems very possible at this point if Concordia and Warner Pacific are really the best two teams besides the Raiders in the CCC.

Sammich “Burg”
Ashland, Oregon
I had gone through nearly all of Sammich’s regular menu and enjoyed many of their specials as well before I tried the Burg. Typically I only order burgers at places when the rest of the menu stinks so it seemed pointless to order a burger at a place where the rest of the menu is fantastic.
Alas, my thinking was off, and I should have tried Sammich’s Burg long before. My first one was so good that the last two times I have gone to Sammich I have repeated my order. Unlike other places (which shall remain unnamed) in which the burger is sometimes undercooked, sometimes overdone, and sometimes features a stale bun, all three of my Burgs at Sammich have been identical in their deliciousness.

The #3 ranked Raiders defeated the #13 ranked Cavaliers of Concordia University (Portland) to quickly move to the top of the Cascade Conference standings. The Southern Oregon University Men and Women’s Teams will play again tomorrow night in Ashland (5:30 and 7:30 start times). Hopefully the roads will be a bit safer to drive on by then.
SOU Women’s Basketball
Autumn Durand
Southern Oregon University Raiders 117 – Concordia Cavaliers 94
Autumn Durand was the top scorer with 25 points.
The reason I’m getting this out there so quickly tonight is I’m not at the game. I thought I was going when the party I was going to got cancelled due to the snow, but then I went outside and realized that my car would never make it through the eight inches of snow in the driveway, let alone down the hill.
You can watch the men’s game here.

The Raiders begin CCC play tonight. Women play at 5:30. Men play at 7:30. Get your snow shoes on and head out the door now.
Shasta Hall – Southern Oregon University
The campus will be a ghost town in another week, but there are some holiday lights between the new dorms (Shasta and McLoughlin Residence Halls).

This is not what Ashland looks like at the moment. Today’s photo was taken back in January in the mountains to the east of Ashland. In fact, there is no snow in Ashland as I write this. However, the forecast is for snow so they have closed the schools.
I mentioned before that the men’s basketball team will face a tough opponent on Saturday night. However, while the pre-season coaches’ poll had Warner Pacific as SOU’s main competition, after the pre-season games, Concordia has moved into that position and up in the rankings to #13. SOU moved up one spot to #3. Concordia will be in Ashland Friday night. So come on out to the games. Women play at 5:30 and the men start at 7:30 both nights.
