Men's Basketball vs. Cal Lu

In the second to last home game, Cal Lu visited Currier Gym and despite a good defensive effort by our Bulldogs, the Kingsmen left with the victory, 58-43. So we'll look forward to the next game and focus on the fun we had at halftime. Tonight we were treated to some great dancing by 11 ladies dressed in black. This wasn't your average halftime entertainment. T and I also got to visit with some middle schoolers from Highland. We have one more home game next Tuesday where we'll honor the Seniors. That reminds me. We honor the lone Senior on the ladies team tomorrow night vs. Cal Lu. Come out to both games and cheer our team on. It's the last time this year.

Baseball Double Header vs. Pac Lu

The Bulldog Baseball team hosted Pacific Lutheran in a double header at The Yard today. Game 1 proved to be our first victory of the year as Nolan pitched a complete game shut out and we won 4-0. In the second game we fell behind 6-1 early but staged a rally in the last third of the game and almost caught the Lutes. We fell just short, losing 7-5. It was a chilly day in Redlands but our team still managed to hit .338 over both games.

February 7 events

Saturday was scheduled to be a busy day. We started out with a morning visit to PAWS' Grand Opening celebration where we greeted many familiar faces. I think everyone is very happy to have such convenient parking, especially on rainy days (more on that later). A link to the store can be found on the left side of the page. They have everything a dog would ever need (and they even have stuff for cats). It was great fun. After PAWS we headed back to the University and Currier Gym. The ladies basketball team was having their pictures taken. And I thought Talulah was a ham for the camera! And oh by the way, both the ladies and the men defeated Whittier over the weekend. Great job! But my day at the University was cut short by much needed rain. Both tennis and softball were cancelled and rescheduled for later in the week. They should have scheduled the openers on a day with a swim meet. Those days are always sunny! Since this left the afternoon free, Talulah and I went to visit Roz at her new home. She has it pretty nice and it was fun romping on the lawn again. With such a busy Saturday, Sunday has been spent sleeping.

Softball and Women's Tennis

Apres swim, Talulah and I wandered over to the softball field to catch part of the Alumni game. We got in another team photo, but that was cut a bit short by my daughter as she bolted away from the reins of the catcher. Glad she was wearing protective clothing! We left before the game was over, but the best part was that Redlands was bound to win! You can tell there were a few exciting moments for us on the walk to Tennis. Let's just say my handler is sleeping well tonight.... Speaking of sleeping, Talulah and I found the concrete below the stands to be very inviting. Too inviting. Our tennis squad looked sharp in their new uniforms, for the few moments we had our eyes open. So alas, we had to leave early. It had been a long day in the sun and there will be many more tennis matches for us to visit.

Swim and Dive vs CMS

It was Senior Day at Thompson Aquatic Center. And another perfect winter day in Redlands to hold a swim meet. Talulah and I were able to sneak in a few shots of the team, plus an extra shot of the Lucky 13 (or is that 14?). These are the Seniors who just swam their last collegiate home dual meet. I think the cookies, balloons, and flowers were much appreciated. It's been fun watching them. CMS left with victories against both the women and men, but we're looking forward to conference finals in the coming weeks. By then, Talulah might qualify as a substitute stroke judge. She was schmoozing to referee at today's meet. She even wore white, but she was DQ'd.
