about a year and a half ago i think. it's at UTPB in odessa. Oil bidness is booming here like everywhere else!!!

lol

we have $70+ barrel oil to thank for that. it sucks for paying on fuel, but good God! makes west Texas richer! lol

(no offense anyone)

my dad was born in ardmore and graduated from OU in '79. I am either gonna go to OU on legacy in-state tuition or to Texas Tech because it is a lot closer to Midland. I've also thought of TCU because I love Fort Worth. DFW is one of my favorite places, anyone who has been to Midland/Hodessa knows why when compared to DFW.

:D several years ago (mid to late 80's) i spent considerable time out there- i know of whence you speak- can be rather desolate and forbidding to the average person- good luck with the choice of college and whichever career path you choose- :thup:
