Not a good time to face 7 consecutive games in North Carolina - 3 vs the Tar Heels in Chapel Hill, one at East Carolina, then 3 more in Durham vs. Duke. Will the team just stay over and be on a 10 day-long road trip?
After the games vs. Duke, Stanford won't leave the state of California for the rest of the regular season.
Next week is spring break, so the softball players won't be missing classes if they decide to stay in NC for the duration of the road trip.
If there's one thing people have learned in Berkeley, it's that you can't put "Cal football" and "Rose Bowl" in the same sentence. The words just don't fit. You'd be better off linking "covered wagons" with "Mars travel." (Bruce Jenkins, Cal '70, SF Chronicle, Nov. 11, 2017)
