Once Again, Texas Leads the Way

Don't tell this to the Sons of the Pioneers.

Trustees to try again on stadium name: "Names might not hurt the Leander [Texas] school district, but officials fear juvenile corruptions of the newly designated Tumbleweed Hill Stadium could be embarrassing.

School board President Don McCall said that when names were being considered, Leander trustees hadn't considered the possibility that 'the kids are going to say, 'Tumbleweed Hill — oh, that's marijuana.' '

Trustees have retracted the name for the athletic facility set to open this fall near RM 2222 in Austin and will consider new suggestions in meetings to be held Thursday and Tuesday."

I find this about as persuasive as the argument that legal homosexual marriage has any bearing on the meaning of legal heterosexual marriage.

Conveniently, the verification string is "outrav".

Is that what they're calling it these days?

I'm so out of touch!

Heck, what happens when a whole town is named WEED ?
As in Weed CA.

They're changing the name to Local Heroine Stadium.
