kylehutson 486 Report post Posted Wednesday at 04:40 PM Yep. It's about 75 miles away and on the other side of the snow line. Supposed to be 41 and sunny at game time Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kylehutson 486 Report post Posted Wednesday at 04:55 PM That's actually the closest JuCo to my house. I go to the same town for high school games Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Man in Blue 281 Report post Posted Wednesday at 05:07 PM @kylehutson knows this ... but welcome to the Midwest! Driving is a part of the game. We don't get to live our lives in a 20-minute/mile radius. Up to this year, I traveled regionally quite a bit for work. I would pick up games as much as two hours away from home, but only because I was there for work. This year I won't be travelling for work, but my radius will still be about an hour (unless I want to see the same few teams all the time). We have about a month to go before HS starts here, but speculation is we will be seeing the same weather. We're supposed to get up to 4 inches of snow today.

I utilize my Arbiter account to place travel limits ....and starting last year I limited my travel to 50 miles from work which dramatically helped my commute stress Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kylehutson 486 Report post Posted Wednesday at 05:38 PM If I set my limit at 50 miles, that would limit me to 10 high schools and 0 colleges (except the D1 university I work at for my day job) 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ArchAngel72 42 Report post Posted Wednesday at 06:48 PM MY GOD,,, And I worry if my game is 35 min from my work which is actually 8 minutes from my house LOL Damn.. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Man in Blue 281 Report post Posted Wednesday at 08:03 PM I am fortunate that I am in a "larger" city centrally seated, so that opens up a little bit. However, a 50 mile radius for many of my counterparts would be similar to Kyle's situation. We have entire counties that only have one high school in them.
