Rediscovering the Game of Jacks by Alice Liles www.muleshoejournal.com - Muleshoe Journal, January 16, 2020 - Page A3 Rediscovering the game of jacks By Alice Liles Alice’s note: This story first appeared in my blog The Bright Lights of Muleshoe on Decem- ber 28, 2011. I know Christmas is over, and this is sort of a Christmas story, but what it’s really about is the long overlooked and forgotten childhood game of jacks. Perhaps this will bring back some memories for you. We enjoyed two Christmases this year, one with all the Krons, and a second one with all the Liles. Both were great fun. Food and gifts complimented the quality time we spent together on both occasions. Korben, Callie, and Ty were on hand for the Kron Christmas, as was Colten and his friend Stormi. Then Colten celebrated again with Ben and Maya at the Liles Christmas. And I had the pleasure of reacquainting with an old friend-the game of jacks. At the Christmas at the Liles’ house, one of Maya’s stocking stuffers was a new tin box filled with jacks and a ball and a set of pick-up- sticks. Amid all the video games, remote control cars, and a fancy new other rounds in a jacks game after the a game that required only our ability and sure enough, found my jacks in cell phone, a set of jacks and pick-up- plain first game where you just pick to sit flat-legged on the sidewalk and the original bag Mother made just sticks seemed rather quaint and out up the jacks one at a time, then two a well-developed amount of hand-to- for my jacks.

  • Four-Legged, 1,600-Pound Athlete Looks to Continue His Historical Streak in Louisville This Weekend!
    Four-legged, 1,600-pound Athlete Looks to Continue His Historical Streak in Louisville This Weekend! Professional Bull Riders' (PBR) World Champion Bull Bushwacker Goes for 41st Consecutive Buckoff at Louisville, Kentucky’s KFC Yum! Center April 13-14 The Professional Bull Riders (PBR) stops in Louisville, Ky. this weekend at the KFC Yum! Center for the PBR Built Ford Tough Series Bass Pro Chute Out presented by Jack Daniels Saturday, April 13 and Sunday, April 14. During Sunday’s Built Ford Tough Championship Round , the bucking chute gate will open and two-time World Champion Bull Bushwacker of Julio Moreno Bucking Bulls will get a chance to extend his already historic streak of consecutive buckoffs. Having already shattered the previous record of 35 consecutive buckoffs, he is currently at 40 and odds indicate he will dump his 41st consecutive cowboy in Louisville. All of the action airs on CBS Sports Network Sunday, April 14 at 5 p.m. ET. Either way, history is going to be made this weekend; Bushwacker will continue his unprecedented success, or a cowboy will finally complete an 8-second ride atop this amazing animal athlete. Bushwacker has not been ridden successfully since 2009 and has maintained an impressive average buckoff time of 2.38 seconds. PBR fans know they are witnessing something special every time he sets hooves in an arena. This is bull riding’s equivalent of DiMaggio’s 56-game hitting streak, bringing excitement and anticipation each time this bovine bruiser gets into a chute. Amazingly, Bushwacker didn’t let arthroscopic surgery on his rear fetlocks (ankles) in January 2012 get in the way of his career, as he has returned to the sport better than ever.

    When professional bull rider Colby Yates decided to hang up his bull rope and chaps in August 2012 it was not a decision that was propelled by a significant injury or a particular event, the 32-year old Texas cowboy just realized that there was life beyond the arena. It was a decision that many questioned but ultimately many respected. Colby Yates was born and raised in a family of cattle ranchers and started his rodeo career at age 8. By age 18 he obtained his pro card and began competing in the PRCA circuit before joining the Professional Bull Riders Built Ford Tough Series permanently in 2006. In his 6 years on the PBR BFTS tour Yates won 3 events and his earnings topped out over half a million dollars. By 2011 he was juggling sponsorship requirements, competing in the BFTS series, and an emerging music career. Also in 2011, Yates won the Iron Cowboy competition at Cowboy Stadium and released his debut studio album “Right Amount of Renegade”. But there was a life beyond the arena, Colby’s wife Katie, his son Cutter, and his ranch outside of Sulphur Springs, Texas were also depending on him to not only provide for them, but to physically be able to be there for them; Yates has had more concussions that any other cowboy with a whopping 38 in his 14-year career. And so in August 2012 Colby Yates made the courageous decision to walk away from the sport he loved and turn his attention to his true priorities, his family, “I was burnt out, my head and my heart were at home and I just had to be there, it was a tough reality to bite down on though.
