The photos below are taken at Texas Tech's football stadium. Images uploaded to PhotoBucket by TXHudd (click for bigger images) . You can get a reaction to the flooding on the Texas Tech Red Raider message board. (ht - RedDevilDawg)
The water event was caused by 10 inches of rain in 36 hours in Lubbock. The Dallas Morning News says the Texas Tech vs. SMU game is still on, and they explain how. See also --> Game on?

Flooding at Texas Tech: How Fast Can Michael Crabtree Swim?

This headline is pretty distasteful. Thousands of people will be displaced by this beast of a storm. "How fast can Crabtree swim?" Come on, you are better than this. Poor form boys.
The line is taken directly from a Texas Tech fan's reaction to the photos on their message board.
If it's fair game for them to say, it's fair game for me to repeat it.
Yikes on the above..I realize it's not "really funny" But seriously it hasn't even hit yet and they are already bailing buckets...I'm curious when LSU Freak is gonna fark a pirate ship on that sucker.
Remember, everything is bigger in Texas. Lubbock is a short 532 mile jaunt to the nearest coastal town (Corpus Christi). It's 581 miles from Houston. To put that in perspective, you could drive all the way to Vero Beach, Virginia Beach, or even New Orleans from Athens with those miles. I think it's fair game to poke fun at their flood situation. It's not part of the hurricane. Even if it was, it way too far inland to not be fair game.
+1 to Lubbock for the 'TT' shaped scoreboard.
I always heard West Texas was flat, but good grief! even the stadium? There's hardly any "rise" to the "run". If you are sitting on the last row, you are actually in Amarillo you are so far away.
Not as fast as Durham. 10-6.
PWD +1
