The Glen Maury Park football field and track where I would run when not doing sports information stuff.
Beyond the softball field where SVU softball plays is where I practiced my freshman year at SVU...I know it's pathetic but that's what we had available.
Glen Maury Park
VMI Baseball Stadium
A look at the poorly-cared-for grass and press box at VMI
That's one nice scoreboard
A view of the outfield from right field.
I was fortunate enough to throw a one-hitter on this field against Montreat.
A good view from above of VMI's field.
Washington and Lee's Cap'n Dick Smith Field
The most important part of the W&L field...the pitcher's mound!
The entrance that leads to The Natural Bridge.
The Natural Bridge is supposed to be down there somewhere...but where?
Still trying to find the elusive bridge...I don't think it exists and I'm not going to pay $17 to check!
Our first home! Just imagine two Mormon newlyweds living above that shed owned by the Baptist church in town...it was a sight to see.
Perry McCluer Middle School - a view of the middle school's outfield we played games on as a freshman and practiced at my second year.
Not much to look at in the summer, but it was a large step up from the pasture at Glen Maury Park.
A view of the chainlink fence in left and left-center and the concrete wall in right field.
It's a blurry photo due to the rain, but that's the backstop that we put up.
The new stake center building that's incredibly nice! It had to be built after we left good ol' BV of course.
Above: That's where I stayed during the internship
Below: The Baptist church that owned our first apartment.
The house I lived in during my second year with Coach Schleg and Co. Good times living with a family of 8 and 3 other players in that cracker jack box.
That strip of grass and trees on the left is where the new parking lot is going to be.
The scariest house I've ever seen!
The Lofts - new dorms that would've been nice to live in instead of the roach-infested dorm I had the privilege of living in my freshman year.
The Perry McCluer High School baseball field where SVU plays its home games.
The Tower House...the weirdest house I've seen.
The Perry McCluer High School football field where SVU football loses its games :)
The bullpen at Perry McCluer High School...pitiful!
Inside the dugout...not bad at all.
A closer look at the most important part of the baseball field...the mound!
Perry McCluer High School
My living quarters for the summer all by myself.
I know, I know...real creative name for our athletic fields. I never said the SVU employees were the most creative.
That couch with my legs propped up on the chair is where I spent most of my time outside of my internship because it was the only place I could get the internet in the house.
Not a bad little place, huh?
The table I never ate on.
I had to use the stove and oven quite a bit since I didn't have a microwave...I felt like a pioneer, well...a modern pioneer.
Most of my food I put in the fridge...no rats are going to eat my food!
The worst flushing toilet ever!
Zzzzzz...it worked.
Thank goodness for that fan on the right...without it I wouldn't have slept a wink.
The washer and dryer in the basement. That spray paint says "Southern Seminary,"...don't worry it's not profanity.
Knight Arena - pretty good shot of the basketball court.
The banner on the right is the banner my wife won as a track athlete at SVU when they won the USCAA National Championship!
I spent most of my time here, especially when it was raining...and NO, I wasn't hitting, I was throwing against the net.
The spot where I met Shauna...behind the bleachers while I was doing my sit-ups while she "accidentally" air-balled a shot she needed to retrieve.
That doorway on the left side is a new doorway into the cafeteria (which looks almost exactly the same).
The Infamous Barn!
The Tennis Courts
That the street that leads to the hill that Shauna grew to love for basketball conditioning :)
The very last house in the picture is where I lived for a semester.
The weight room (not too shabby)
The room through the windows is the treadmill room.
Joshua wanted to see all the animals before any of the other kids.
Evan was really excited when he got to play with the gun even though he was tired from the zoo.
My "Lil' Sis"
That's the module that Shauna lived in.
Yet another location that Shauna and I hid out at one night.
The Library
That's where the bookstore used to be.
Landrum was the old Institute building before the stake center was built.
One date night, Shauna and I sat on that porch and "talked" for quite a while.
One University Hill Drive
The stairs leading up to Main Hall
I used to play flag football at the bottom of the hill. The lacrosse team also practiced in the same spot (what a joke!)
Main Hall
The weird Knight statue
That door was the entrance to the choir room
The new Student Union is in front; it used to be on the right.
The SVU bookstore
Inside the new Student Union (very nice!)
"Genius of Small!"
A view of "The Fields"
The plot of land for the new "Deidra Dryden Softball Complex"
A storage shed that I ran to a few times in the summer with Chris and Jeremiah
The turf field parking lot
Football games can't be played here because there are no bleachers. That's the SVU way!...build it first, worry about the glaring problems later.
What a view!
Proof that I was there
The empty lot is the future location for the tennis courts
