Welcome To Case's Column

Let me say a big welcome to all of you for joining me here. I'm going to call these blog meetings Case's Column. I wanted to use "Corner", but that was already taken. Since 2008, it's been a real privilege to come on here and share some of my life with you, and it's a big world where we live.

In these blogs, I'll just speak whatever is on my mind, but we will be playing within the rules here. I may pick a particular topic, point out an event, or shoot the breeze. I'm a little bit of an essayist at times, so I'll just speak what's on my mind, and I might tell a story or two. Or, I might spew out an opinion or three. There will be some serious moments, some tender, some poignant, but there will also be those moments that you'll just bust out laughing. But, hopefully, everything will be in good fun here. And, of course, there's a place below for your comments and thoughts as we go along here. So feel free to join me for the ride -- I sure as heck hope I'm doing this right and not making any mistakes.

Thanks for taking your time in reading Case's Column. Hopefully, you'll enjoy being entertained by it as much as I've enjoyed putting these writings together. And thanks for the time you spend in City-Data.com, where it's great to be alive!

Regards,

Big Event Scheduled For The Frisco's Star

Posted 02-07-2016 at 08:46 AM by case44 (Welcome To Case's Column)

And, no, it's not the Super Bowl. Not big enough for that. You can call the Dallas Cowboys' new practice facility Jerry World, Jr. That will be the site of something bigger than anything Frisco, Texas, had ever seen.

With all of Frisco's eight oldest open high schools competing in District 13-5A this coming fall, they will begin the season with something out of the ordinary. For one Saturday during Zero Week (likely in August, as the official date has yet...

Another Word For Liberal Ideology: Loserism

Posted 02-05-2016 at 08:35 PM by case44 (Welcome To Case's Column)
Updated 02-07-2016 at 05:43 PM by case44

Americans have always had it good. Still, for the most part, do. It remains the greatest nation ever conceived on Earth. This nation has a great history and is the world's biggest success story, within itself a series of huge success stories. But there are forces within our soil that have been trying to take all of that away. As a result, America is at a very important crossroads.

I've decided, for this particular post, to take the viewpoint of a fellow poster...

Scattershooting Again / Kubiak Should Get His Reward

Posted 02-05-2016 at 07:14 PM by case44 (Welcome To Case's Column)
Updated 02-06-2016 at 09:02 AM by case44

Is it time to scattershoot again on Case's Column? The answer's yes (~Ding, ding, ding~). So many places to go and there is so little time. And there's this football game they're playing on Sunday, but we'll get to that, too. Let's go!

********

The most awaited time of the entire football season culminates in earnest on Sunday afternoon. It just happens to be the Super Bowl. You've got the Denver Broncos and the Carolina Panthers, and they make...

Did Texas Recruit A Top-Rate Class?

Posted 02-04-2016 at 06:13 PM by case44 (Welcome To Case's Column)
Updated 02-05-2016 at 08:25 AM by case44

My lands, what just happened out at the Forty Acres? I do believe that Texas Longhorns head football coach Charlie Strong, out of nowhere, just got a lot of attention nationwide. He just recruited the best class at Texas in many years, one of the best in the nation (not to mention the Big 12 Conference), and definitely the best out of any year he has ever coached.

National Signing Day was big for many schools, but few bigger than Texas, with seven very important...

In New Brand: Best Western Ditches The Crown

Posted 01-31-2016 at 06:13 PM by case44 (Welcome To Case's Column)

Hard to believe that a hotel chain who had been known for years to have a crown on top has totally changed its tune.

Best Western. They're simply known these days as BW. Technically, they actually ditched their crown years ago, but in 1993, that year's new design still had a variation of a crown atop the Best Western name (with a red W shaped like a crown). It was a look that stayed for 23 years until this week. It's going to be hard to let go of the crown. ...
