What the hell is a "Lubbock"?

Is it some kind of fish?

I dunno. But he makes it sound not fun to be landlocked in Lubbock.

Likewise, why does a college need it's own station?

While CA forges ahead with new forward thinking innovations the rest of the country waits and hopes to land our table scraps.

Nothing new here.
Really and what are you basing your opinion on about CA forging forward and the rest of the country falling back? I guess watching other states attract some of Ca business isn't forging forward..As for dirt cheap labor, have you compared the salaries, and COV in some of these states compared to California?

Texas is like China...only thing they bring to the table is dirt cheap labor, poor environmental regulations and standard of living. They both have zero innovation or creativity of their own and only know how to steal jobs from other countries/ states.

I think so. But where I live, pretty much everyone who resides outside of the deep south, Texas or a state continguous to Texas is called a "yankee." Sort of as a generic derogatory term.
