It is a combination of what once were two newspapers. Lubbock had the Morning Avalanche and the Evening Journal. When the two papers were consolidated, they dubbed the new newspaper the Lubbock Avalanche-Journal. According to local historical records, "avalanche" was meant to refer to "an avalanche of news and information."

I had a difficult time imagining an avalanche in Lubbock.
