I grew up in Hobbs and still have family there and all over NM. Nice to visit the 'ole land of enchantment from time to time, but the for the life of me can't imagine ever going back to Hobbs.

We lived in Albuquerque for a bit. No middle class to speak of there - you either had a PhD or never graduated high school. They built an entire elementary school out of portable buildings.
Great weather.

I've seen Breaking Bad

Yep, still vividly recall listening to the SOONERS every fall Saturday on KLEA. Unfortunately, at that time, the NCAA had banned OU from TV.

So, what's the projection for the Eagles this year? I here the 'Cats have a chance to be good.

Moved to Albq in 04. That fall, the first weekend of football included an OU game on ABC. I got all my gear and food ready, sat down, and clicked over to watch the Sooners.

PREEMPTED!! The National game on ABC was preempted on the local Albuquerque station. The first half, rather than OU football, we were treated to full coverage of the New Mexico State Fair PARADE!!

Thought I had moved to hell.

That has not happened since.

One year, the local ABC affiliate pre-empted the first 30 minutes of an early-starting OU game because they wouldn't bump a cartoon that was on from 10 a.m. to 10:30. :mad:

That's also the same station that used to have the best sports report in the state. Now they barely have a local sports report. While they do have some hot female anchors, it's as if they think sports is a total afterthought.

BTW, the local OU Club of NM has watch parties - and has moved the site to a bar in Uptown - the Uptown Sports Bar and Grill.

Here in eastmississippiwestalabama we actually once had the first 30 minutes of the Red River Shootout preempted by an infomercial for a local car dealership. My blood pressure has still yet to come down from that.

I grew up in Hobbs, too. My mother still lives there and I go to the HHS reunions. Live in Alamogordo now after a few years up in Santa Fe. It's finally raining this summer. I never did like UNM, and they kept the same loser head coach. But lots of Sooner fans in Alamogordo.

Nice pic of Zozobra. I liked going to the burning, but now way too many folks show up. Too crowded.

[NMSooner'80]

FWIW - my sunset photo wasn't far from Alamogordo. I shot that just east of Carrizozo along U.S. 380.

Which UNM coach didn't you like? One who still drills a hole in me personally is the sleazoid named Norm (Lobogate) Ellenberger. I was in college at OU at the time, but I know people who were at UNM at that time he was there. The scandal was barely the tip of the iceberg on how sleazy his program was, but hey, they were flashy and won big a time or two. :confused:

I haven't made plans to go back in years! I'll go visit my bro in Santa Fe regularly and try and get some skiing in. But what's funny is just last night my sis asked to go back to Hobbs with her in a couple of weeks to see some old friends. So.... here we go. It's been years. I have no clue what it's like now. I can't imagine it's changed too much. I really hope to visit the high school while I'm there. They built the prison there just shortly after I left, I remember the run if joke being that now kids had somewhere to go after high school.

Now as a state, NM is really awesome. A lot of variety.

Cool pics, New Mexi-bro! :D

It was 77 degrees in Las Vegas, NM yesterday when it was 115 here.

The first time I ever lived in New Mexico was a couple of months after my OU graduation in the spring of '80. That was also a brutally hot summer in Oklahoma. I drove to Red River for a weekend, when my younger brother was spending the summer there working at a restaurant. The Friday night that I arrived there, it got down to 39 degrees. After two months of 100-plus, that 39-degree night felt really nice.

Thanks NMSOONER I was wondering where the watch parties were in alb. I'll try and make to one.

One time I was hiking/climbing in the Gila Wilderness in SW NM, and started the day around 90 degrees with the sun shining. We went up all day, and spent the night in snow storm with temperatures well below freezing.

You can't take a zoom lens into the stadium anymore, but I was able to get this shot last year with a digital camera with a 5x zoom:
