LUBBOCK IS A DAVID LYNCH MOVIE
Pray tell, cruise for one moment inside the mind of Mike Leach, and you will find a reference saying much if not all you need to know about his cultural references and tastes in cinema:
“One thing I’ve always liked about this place is you’ve got the great college atmosphere, but it’s got a little bit of that NFL flavor with some characters mixed in,” Leach said. “It’s like a college atmosphere mixed with a David Lynch movie, so it’s really pretty cool.”
A naked Isabella Rossellini begging to be hit? Exorbitantly long lesbian sex scenes? Not quite, but there is a Santa with a t-shirt on that (in all seriousness) we would purchase five minutes ago.

Seriously. If you know where that shirt comes from, it’s all we want for Christmas. In the meantime, you’ll just have to make do with your “WWLD?” t-shirt.

Are there at least backward-talking midgets scattered about Lubbock, giving people clues or perhaps sage advice that they can’t quite understand?

I hope everyone heard the story about how Leach and Donald Trump became friends. Basically, Leach was in New York, in a Trump building and just called up to talk to him. Then Trump called back a few weeks later and their buddies. Mike Leach is the goods.

DevilGrad,
My other theory is that Lubbock is actually a poorly rendered adaptation of a classic sci-fi novel. Or else everyone is huffing nitrous oxide(?).

As you approach landing at the Lubbock airport, you see the same view Neil Armstrong had as the Eagle descended upon Tranquility Base.
David Lynch + Llano Estacado = really creepy shots of Robert Blake in “Lost Highway.”
