Playoff Info and The Water Tower Story
The Mules will play River Road in Plainview on Friday, November 13, at 7 pm. Hmm, Friday the 13th... bad for River Road, right? Now, that water tower story. The game between Friona and Muleshoe in the 2000 football season was no less anticipated than last Friday's...
The 25th Notch-Mule Mania is Still Alive and Well
We were in the middle of a long line of red taillights streaming from Muleshoe to Friona and arrived thirty minutes before kickoff, and the stands were already full. We managed to find seats, but it was standing room only after that. I dutifully took notes throughout...
Silence is an Endangered Commodity
So I'm sitting here in my retina doctor's office-vitreoretinal specialist is the official title-laboring with dilated eyes to read an article in Newsweek-yes, that liberal cheerleader magazine whose subscription won't be renewed when it runs out in April but which...
24-0 and Still Counting
Dimmitt fell to the Mules last night, 56-0, which makes the winning streak rise to 24. And yes, I actually took notes, but I have a feeling my sports reporting career won't benefit much from the effort, but at least I will have some names to go with the plays. Dimmitt...
Banana Pudding
My daddy, God bless him, loved to eat. Of all the good genes he blessed me with, I'm afraid I managed to get that trait. too. But I digress. This story is not about me; it is about him. And banana pudding. Mother made wonderful banana pudding. Like most cooks, I make...
Mules Win Again, But It Was Not Pretty
The notch in the jock strap was a little harder to come by tonight. We traveled to Childress after a two-week layoff due to the Tulia forfeit, which may or may not have been the problem. The Mules won 34-26 but were off their game. Fumbled balls, dropped passes,...
Mari and Me
Perhaps you've heard of the movie "Marley and Me?" Well, we have our own version going these days with a three-legged pit bull pup our grandson adopted. We have all fallen in love with this little dog, but, honestly, nothing is safe around her! Just this afternoon...
Mules Add Another Win Without Even Sweating
Well, rats. Tulia forfeited the game scheduled for tonight (October 16th), so I have no exciting game to tell about. Seems they lost kids to injury, sickness, perhaps some low grades, and I don't know what else, and they had to cancel. This was to be our...
High Rise Condo or Grain Elevator?
Any grain producing area will have grain elevators. Since we have lots of land in production and traditionally grow lots of wheat, corn, and milo, every little West Texas farming town has a skyline that includes one or three or so grain elevators where the grain...
Mules Roll On
The flu is alive and well in Muleshoe, just like everywhere else, and even though it benched some Mules, the healthy ones persevered and won their first district game with Floydada; the score-46-14. Alas, we committed the two-percenter sin (for those of you...
