I think UTPB played Lamar in football earlier this year. That school has potential due to the energy economy there. Much more active than Gulf of Mexico basin at this stage

It’s a straight up boomtown over there. But I don’t think UTPB is destined for anything special. It’s a small school, and I’ve never been to a place with less hometown pride than Midland-Odessa. Nobody wants to be there. Nobody cares about creating a community there.

You think much bigger of the Sun Belt than I do.

The majority of the people living in Midland-Odessa are probably there because of the oil, not because that is their dream destination!

Maybe you didnt meet anyone FROM Odessa/Midland. I grew up in the Permian Basin, and that was not the case at all back then.

My son managed a Lafayette oil field service company in Odessa. They move it across the boarder in Mexico where most of the work was. He is a happy camper now. Never been there but he said it was all open land with no trees as far as the eye can see......was he right?
