I think I remember these from my days in the Lone Star State:

-- El Paso is closer to Los Angeles than it is to Texarkana.

-- Texarkana is closer to Chicago than it is to El Paso.

Correct, East TX is also closer to Jacksonville FL than it is to El Paso.

true, but north Texas (say, Lubbock or so) is closer to El Paso than Jacksonville. ;-)

As the wife and I were driving from the airport to our hotel (on the west side of town) we notice not one, but two billboards for USF football on I-10 (their equivalant to I-275 in Tampa. I don't remember the exact wording, but they essentially said Join the Stampede and USF was happy to be in El Paso. One was westbound near the downtown exit and the other was near the Sun Bowl stadium exit. Brilliant PR move by USF. If you are a local football fan and don't have a dog in the fight, I think you ae more likely to cheer for a team that is showing gratitude and "branding" itself on billboards. Maybe we will have the "homefield advantage"!!!!

they cerTAINLY CATCH ONE'S eye

Pres. Genshaft told us last night that in the 74 year history of the bowl, no team has ever taken out billboards like we did.  Its made a big impact on the locals I think!
