Lubbock in the Spotlight
#5 Texas Tech is in the spotlight this week as the #1 Texas Longhorns come to town for the biggest game in Lubbock history. That means Lubbock will have some out-of-towners running around our fair city. The liberal assholes from Austin have graced us with their presence before, so they know what to expect from the Hub City. The home state press also know Lubbock and our ways. The ones that will need help are the superstar commentators from ESPN and ABC. Brent Musburger, Kirk Herbstreet, Lee Corso, and the rest are in for a shock when they arrive. They will see Lubbock has electricity, indoor plumbing, paved roads, and automobiles. It will be amazing that Lubbock has an airport, stores, hotels, resturants, bars, and homes. The big wigs won't believe Lubbock county has a population of 270,000 people and 99% don't own cattle or ride horses. I'm sure the big time announcers will be a little sad that Lubbock is a real city, but real relieved that they don't have to ride on a covered wagon or sleep under the big Texas sky. Anyone who has been to West Texas will tell you what a wonderful place it is. It isn't New York City, Los Angeles, Las Vegas, or even Dallas or Austin. It is something different, but not of another world or another time. Visitors will find most of the same things any other American city has. Late Saturday Night, the Longhorns and their fans will be leaving town after having their ass kicked. They hate Lubbock and Tech, and always will. The pampered on screen talent will be leaving too, having seen the awesome talent of the Red Raiders live, and the friendly folks of Lubbock up close. They may not ever admit it, but they will be impressed with Tech and Lubbock.
