Oh, I don't know. Try San Angelo.

What always puzzled me was seeing both football teams in high school praying before the game in a huddle. Did that mean that the one that won was the one God favored?

I live in central Texas (about 5 hours from Lubbock). We always prayed in our huddle before games, but we never prayed for victory.

I guess most coaches realize God can't grant that prayer for both teams.

High school football is deadly serious in small Texas towns. It is more important than the Super Bowl and whatever Nascar's ultimate event is. God is surely on the winning side. (I had relatives in Sweeny when it was still a championship team.)

Last time I was in Lubbock, they were having a drought and sufering a tremendous dirt storm. The cars were all brown.

And it was so dry, the Baptists were sprinkling and the Methodists were using a damp washcloth.
