A few weeks ago at breakfast, Tonka, Paco and I were going over the results from the previous Sunday’s football games.
“…and Jacksonville beat Tennessee,” I said.
Then, out of NOWHERE, Jokinen says, “well, Jacksonville was named for Andrew Jackson and he was from Tennessee, so it’s kind of like they beat themselves.”
I couldn’t believe it.
Now, I know where Jackson is from, but I actually had to look up on Wikipedia to confirm that Jacksonville was named for Andrew Jackson (it was).
How he knew that is beyond me.
See, I told you that football was very valuable education tool
