Spring weather has final hit West-Central Indiana. I could actually enjoy baseball weather without having to wear gloves and four layers of clothes to head out to the ball park for once.

With the turn in the weather we've already seen the planting season hit full force. Now I am a city boy through and through. Planting a garden was a big deal for me growing up, so I'm not about to pretend to know anything about working in a farm field. But I got a little feel for it last week on campus.

Walking by Hollett Little Giant Stadium, you might have thought Wabash had become an agricultural school, or we gave land to Bon Appetit to grow fresh vegetables for the students' meals. That's because this big red tractor kept moving up and down the football field. With each pass from north to south, another section of field would disappear.

Well, the College is actually growing something at Hollett Little Giant Stadium.

New grass!

A professional company came to campus and placed all new sections of sod from endzone to endzone of the field in preparation for the 2007 football season. After the rain and wear and tear to the field over the past few season, next year's Little Giant team will have a new surface to scamper across during Saturday afternoon home games.

It's hard to believe that first game is less than five months away. So make plans now to see a home game at Hollett Little Giant Stadium. But leave your corn seed at home, because planting season on the field has been completed. Now we're ready to harvest the hard work of the players as they battle for the 2007 North Coast Athletic Conference title.
