Editor’s note: Thanks to John Limon who has been a mainstay in getting the news out for Texas every year. Everytime I read “The Great State of Texas” in John’s emails, I remember my Sports Law professor in law school. It was summer school class, and he was a spry 90 years old and sharp as a tack. Whenever we were studying a case from the courts in Texas, he used to emphasize the phrase in a long, drawn out fashion, “This case…..from the Greeee-aaaat State of Texxxxxxxxxxxx-as” Those cases were always easier to remember because of the emphasis. Sports law in summer school. How great is that?. My brother Bobby lived there for a time, when he worked in the front office for a couple of minor league baseball teams, first the Lubbock Crickets and later, the Edinburg Roadrunners, near McAllen, TX. It IS a great state.
