First post...We're one step closer.

Even if I had to hear it from the ear grater that is the voice of Billy Long, I was thrilled to hear the Name Change bill had passed in the Senate - even better that it was 23-7. The only difficulty was explaining to a 4 year-old and a 3 year-old what it was and why it was a big deal.

I'm just about out the door to the Hollister-Morrisville showdown and the Bears are trailing Indy State 41-33 early in the second half. I would rather the winning streak end at WSU than InSU. Ugh.

About Briggs Stadium: This is a southwest Missouri sports blog, NOT a Southwest Missouri sports blog - note the difference. I will write (blog?) about all things southwest Missouri that interest me as well as the things I do for my J-O-B. I hope you enjoy it and I hope you respond with many comments.

Buckle in. Here we go.
