Good morning readers, Daryl checking in a day early this week. Another shake up in the usual lineup around here as UofL closed its campus for a snow day on Wednesday which meant a nice day at home for myself and the cat. Jared asked for some extra coverage so we made it work and Case will cover the early weekend.

Some other shake ups include the Softball Cards cancelling their first matchup with the USF Bulls on Wednesday due to the lingering storms in the Tampa Bay area. The squad will look ahead to facing Kent St, USF, Michigan and Wisconsin in the USF tournament over the weekend.
