cool man...hey...I don't hate LSU unless they are playing Auburn...they are my second love of the SEC...F*** Alabama, Florida, and Georgia...
From Lubbock here. WEST SIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIDEEE 
Completely different growing conditions here than DFW area, but you gotta love the Texas heat. I stay in touch with many Texas growers on here. Great group of chiliheads around these parts. This area is known for growing green chilies and jalapeno's but I'm trying to be cool like Wes Lane and growing jungles out of super hots. I've failed to produce big numbers many of years but I'm getting better at it every year. Got some naga's that are catching me on fire this year...

Hahaha, I can get with you on that to an extent. I can tolerate Florida myself because I've lived in Florida and I had family go there.
I actually had a friend who played football for LSU as a walk on. He was so good that they tried to get him to transfer to Auburn, he's a Auburn boy who grew up in Alabama, with guaranteed playtime.
I also just traveled to the Auburn campus back in early may and really enjoyed it. It was a beautiful campus in an amazing area but not too much around I have to say.

Ha! It seems like the west side is where it's at.
Yeah it's a big difference out here then back in Louisiana as well. It's sooooooooo dry. I hear people complaining about the heat and I barely notice. It feels good to me for the most part.
kooo Jungles eh? Well shoot if you have growing advice then please share. I'm not sure how to account for the big difference in climate yet. I have only four plants, two of which are naga's, that survived the trip and they are really struggling but alive. I wish you the best in your endeavor growing them out!
Thank you!

The campus has changed a lot since I went to school there...I go back every couple of years and visit a good friend of mine that is from and lives there...you are right...not much around...when you go to Auburn, you go to learn a way of life on top of getting a great education...if you like the woods and fishing...Auburn is the place to be...I could be in the woods on my stand within 15 minutes of my apartment that was just off campus...lot's of things to do for the outdoorsman...
by the way...it was good to meet you this evening..
AlabamaJack said:
Oh nice, I'm glad you visit it because if I went there also I'd have to as well. It really is a great place to be and that college lifestyle honestly sounds amazing. To be able to go hunting and fishing anytime you felt like would be incredible.
It really was a pleasure and I hope you found everything you needed. Like I said, if you need anything even some free man power to get the set up going feel free to ask. I'd love to help.

Hope you all had a grand time at the festival, or are going to have, if you haven't gone yet.
Just sign me,
Lost Texan
It's happening for two weeks up until the 20th. It shuts down around four everyday just so you know. It's pretty low key.

did you inquire about Auburn Q?....I don't think you would ever regret your decision if you chose them....of course, depending on what field of study you are in....when I chose AU back in the late 70s, my goal was to become a wildlife biologist...I knew I wanted to stay in the Southeast so I compared all the SEC schools wildlife programs...as it turned out, AU's wildlife management program was under the department of Biology while all the other school's was under Forestry...well, it just didn't seem that you would get that strong of an education when you are in a department that has it's main focus on trees...anyway, that's why I made my decision besides all the beautiful surrounding countryside...lot's of lakes within 50 miles...gulf 250 to the south...the "loveliest little city on the plain's " as it is called sits on the border between the piedmont and coastal zone's referring to soil type...south is coastal zone, north is piedmont...west is black belt....mighty good inground grows come from the coastal zone...the loamy sandy soil is very very fertile...
anything you want to know about AU, ask...if I don't know the answer, I know where to get it...that's all a bachelors degree does isn't it....you learn some basics but problem solving is what you really learn...

We've had a very mild summer this year which is nice seeing how we are pulling out of a 4 year drought/heat wave. Early this spring was looking very bad. We had over double or triple the amount of dust storms year to date early on this year than ever been recorded. Once summer hit though we've had some good rain (for this area) and very mild temps ranging in 90-95. It is fairly rural around lubbock, but lubbock itself is a growing beast. They are predicting by the year 2020 that Lubbock will double in size. That's 250k + 250k! The oil boom is making it's way up here so it's getting there pretty quick.
You listen here... SEC is the devil you hear!? TTU is where it's at!

well hell spicy...once you get 23 quarters of schooling at one place, you kinda call it home....
AlabamaJack said:
no i didnt look outside the state. Trying to not rake up more debt than i needed to. i ended up with A&M. Everyone i talked to shit on TT, saying it was a party school etc. etc.
i suspect its all bullshit tho.

understand the debt thing...it used to be that if you went 4 straight quarters, you could become a resident and therefore an in state student which the tuition was a lot less...don't know how it works now
