SFA Basketball This Week on Q107
Q107 is still in the midst of "b-ball" (basketball for short), and our local teams are in action this week right here on The Classic Rock Station. Here's the schedule at press time:
Unemployment Rises in Lufkin + Nacogdoches
From the economic front, the unemployment rate in Lufkin and Nacogdoches climbed almost one full point in January, from December numbers.
Lufkin Welcomes ‘Restaurant Impossible’ To Local Eatery [VIDEO]
One of my personal favorite reality television shows is Restaurant Impossible, and while I sometimes don't understand the words coming from the mouth of the show's host, Robert Irvine (because he sometimes shouts orders in a thick accent), I'm floored with his expertise and the buck stops here attitude.
Another ‘Star’ Diagnosed With Terminal Cancer [VIDEO]
When I hear about the wasteful spending going on in Washington, D.C., like giving billions of dollars to Egypt, it fries me that some buck-a-roos can't be set aside for the cure of Cancer.

‘Hobo History’ on Display at Nacogdoches Railroad Depot

Now, this important message about women using firearms from the Vice President of our country, Mr. Joe Biden.
‘Happy Trails’ To Be Found at “Davy Crockett National Forest”
It wasn't until I met Clarissa Howard in my mid 20's, that I truly appreciated "nature walks". Well, the real story, is that I stammered around the radio station lobby (Clarissa was the receptionist) in hopes that she would notice me, and when after nearly one year passed with her only nodding at me in disgust a half-dozen times, I finally got up enough gumption to ask her out.

Texas Rangers Player Gets Tattoo, Takes ‘Sick Day’
