Aaah-Ahhh-CHOO!

Ooh, my head is killing me! Somewhere a headline should read "Spring germination brings alergic reaction". The pollen seems to be ankle deep in places. After the rain Tuesday there were actual puddles of the greenish-yellow stuff. Yuck. A handful of Claritins ought to do the trick though.

Well hat's off to the much maligned sportsplex. It seems it's off to a good start and is booked for more tournaments on it's maiden voyage than I have fingers and toes. I admit I offered my fair share of criticisms over the funding and management of the. . .the. . .what's it called anyway? The "something, something" Sportsplex? Is that right? (There's a fine couple of million spent in naming rights). Anyway, it's fun to see all the work and new development going on out there. Glad it's not in MY backyard.

. . . and in this corner wearing the blue trunks with white trim and sporting a black eye and multiple lacerations to the head--a Lambuth University Lady Eagle. It seems that Jackson isn't ready for a little friendly competition when it comes to ladies basketball. This week several players from both Lambuth and Union Universities were involved in a "beat down" of one or more players from either school. I'm not clear on who started what, or who said what, or whose baseball bat was involved (oh my!), but do we have to fight over everything in this town? I've heard people taking sides on this that have nothing to do with the school, or with basketball, or with Waffle House or Tequila Joe's. Some didn't even go to college there--or at all! Puh-lease, people give it a rest. Save the fighting and back-biting for Monkey Rodeo next summer at Pringles Park. Hookers and beer--Go Vols! Yee-Ha!
