I was a little surprised the commercial showed Tebow violently tackling his mother. Of course, no one in there right mind would accuse FoF of promoting violence against women, but there are those alarmists who would accuse them of it.

I heard that some of the femi-nazis, who are known for having absolutely no sense of humor, thought the commercial promoted violence toward women. Give me a break!!

Though it is hard to believe I am not an aginner when it comes to Downtown, but in my mind, it is the results that speak louder than the words. I'm for Downtown, but I'm growing tired of the taxpayer funded schemes and multiple committees pushing th…

In my opinion let free enterprise determine if downtown Midland is worth "revitalizing." I'm tired of all the pushing by city government including some elected officials who have something to gain from such a venture.

I can honestly say I have never met a Midlander against downtown revitalization. Maybe someone once wondered what the fuss is about, but really I can't remember people marching down Wall Street calling for the end of downtown revitalization. Still…

You know what would have completed the sports complex? A track

When the sports complex project, whose cost including additions is probably now closer to $50 million than $45 million, was being constructed many Midlanders always wondered why didn't they put a track there? A good question. I always thought if you were going to be building out there why not put in a track/soccer facility like you see at Midland Memorial right now. Could the cost have been that much more? Could we have scaled back another facility to make the numbers work?


I just appr

Was that the infamous Tim Tebow commercial?

What was all the fuss about? Usually it is the game which doesn't live up to the hype. This year a commercial didn't live up to the hype.


Focus on the Family released an ad "Celebrate Family, Celebrate Life." It stars the college football star Tim Tebow and his mother. It was sweat, heart warming, a nice watch, even though I had to go back and watch a couple times to see if I missed something controversial. The controversy, as it turned ou

MC basketball blog for Feb. 7: Tough tests coming up

This is a big week for the Midland College basketball teams as both head to always-tough South Plains College in Levelland on Monday.
Both games will be a test for each respective team to see how good they really are. The Lady Chaparrals haven't won at the Texan Dome since 2005, while the MC men have won only three times there since 2000.
For whatever reason, South Plains always has some sort of mojo (no pun intended) while playing Midland College at its home arena.
At the same tim… Continue

Is there really anyone against downtown revitalization? There is?

I can honestly say I have never met a Midlander against downtown revitalization. Maybe someone once wondered what the fuss is about, but really I can't remember people marching down Wall Street calling for the end of downtown revitalization.



Still I have long supported any idea that would create a more vibrant downtown and will continue to back those primarily private sector initiatives.



With downtown on the brain, we provide kudos to the Vision 2020 report which

"When the going gets tough, the tough get going... to "The Gage"!

Just about everyone in West Texas is familiar with the historic hotel in Marathon, Texas.
If you aren't, it's about time you paid a visit to see what was created in another time and place. Deep in the bowels of West Texas, next to the edge of a famous state park and almost as close to Mexico, is The Gage Hotel.

Built in 1927, the hotel was commissioned by Alfred Gage, a Vermont native t
