Somebody correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe availability is the reason. I believe it is if Purdue's track team does well, they may have to commandeer Lambert for a track meet over Purdue's spring break.

I will most likely be out at BMR for the first time as a volunteer. I am very excited to see all the great teams attending!

1732 is very excited to be attending the Boilermaker Regional.

Regarding the team social, I'm surprised to see dinner offered at 5:30 and 6:15 when the award ceremony runs until 6:00. Am I misreading something?

Usually the Indoor state high school track meet is the same Friday/Saturday of BMR. At least its been that way the past 4 or 5 years.

I guess I'm not allowed to drive anymore....
But I'll still be there!

Only 4 more days until Boilermaker. I can hardly wait

[bam-bam]

In the light of recent posts on other regional threads, are there any teams that are more than willing in coordinating with other teams for the hybrid period?

Maybe we'll see a 6 shots in the top hoop.....

Taking off work Thursday and Friday to watch BMR... Don't disappoint me!

[its da PAT!!!]

I know that these next three days of work can't go by any faster! After the past two week of 5 hour practice's and our 15 Saturday practice, and all the tweaks made. I know the goats will be ready!

Early weather forecast are indicating warm temps in the upper 60 to low 70's with chances of Thunderstorms.

No heavy coats needed this year in fact you may want to bring shorts! Don't forget your umbrellas.

Team 135 will be there! I cannot wait!

Pre-Scouting Report:
Three BMR teams have already competed this year; all of them at Smoky Mountains. All three teams played in the eliminations, either as captains or first-round picks.

234: SMR Champions, ICA, Website, RCA
292: 4th alliance first pick
1501: 5th alliance captain, Imagery

BMR is going to be stocked!

Looks like temps in the 70's all weekend for BMR. In Indiana that means chances of storms everyday.

Be prepared for the barn getting warm in the afternoon. Also have a plan for evacuating to a better shelter. That means unplugging your electronic equipment and gathering your group up.

Lets hope the storms stay away and we have a nice weekend.

Living in West Lafayette all my life, I've learned you can never be prepared for Indiana/West Lafayette weather. Last week we had a day where it was 60-ish degrees. The next day it snowed. The day after that it was back to 60-70 degrees.

For those coming to Boilermaker, be prepared for ALL weather.
Except, of course, a hurricane or something. Probably.
