Retire Lance's BOA Jersey
RECEIVED Fri., July 30, 2004
Dear Editor,
My friend and I moved here to Austin recently from Lincoln, Neb. I know, it's as bad as it sounds, it's Nebraska … meh. So we were looking over the ol' Best of AusChron, all the way back to 1993 (I think). We were wondering if you could not name Lance Armstrong "Best Local Athlete" for the 2004 year. Not shooting Lance down, god no! The man has won six freakin' Tour de France titles ... in a row! Instead you should rename it the "Lance Armstrong Award." I mean come on, it's not even fair naming him the best local athlete every year. The only person that could even knock him off is the religious figure Jesus Christ.
