Coach Abe

Bears blog on News-Leader.com has is right. Read it here

The Lady Bears under coach Abe didn't seem to be as community friendly as under the previous Coach.  I remember seeing all sorts of people in the stands for Lady Bears practice before Coach Abe.  At the very least, it ewasn't openly discouraged.

Coach Burnett didn't seem to mind if we took pictures of practice.  But it seemd to be a real problem for Coach Abe.

Add the poor results in the last two seasons, and growing detachment from the community, and the departure of Coach Abe isn't all that surprising.  Just didn't think it would happen this year.

Willie Wednesday

This is the second time this month that I've covered something like this:
Truck Crashes Through Two Businesses

This one was accidental.  The last one was intentional.

Also:

Went to Branson today, and wound up in the same bus as Willie Nelson:
Willie Nelson Helps Open New Branson Theater

Willie seemed like a really nice fellow.  I didn't ask him any questions.
