In case you re wondering, Crossville, Tennessee is about halfway between Nashville and Knoxville on Interstate 40, which is probably why that location was chosen: the high volume of interstate travelers.
Even still, just because Lubbock is off the beaten path as far as cross-country travel goes and not on a major interstate doesn t mean that Buc-ee s belongs in Tennessee any more than they belong here. How about some freakin TEXAS PRIDE? Instead, they d rather expand to Alabama, Florida, Georgia and Tennessee than make a commitment to the state that made them famous.

The ValleyCats Return to the Joe Friday Night
It’s been nearly two years since the Tri-City ValleyCats have played a game at Joe Bruno Stadium. A lot has happened, to say the least. The world suffered a pandemic. The ValleyCats longtime Chairman, principal owner and New York Penn League icon, Bill Gladstone, passed away during that time. The team also lost its affiliation with a Major League Baseball Organization.
This year the ValleyCats will play in the Independent Frontier League. Some fans may howl for a little while that Tri-City won’t be the pipeline to the Astros or some other team. However, most baseball fans will enjoy the ValleyCats emphasis on winning, while developing talent. That’s the goal of Independent baseball and the Frontier League has been successful at it for decades.
