I'm sure the folks with Texas A&M would have an issue with the above statement.

And the University of Texas would be dismayed with your statement as well Chip.

All of those are part of the University of Texas and Texas A&M system. Anyone with a pulse considers those two universities "significant".
Wow, you are one desperate guy. We're not talking about "significant university basket weaving"
What we're talkign about is having a
significant geosciences department, and one involved even with post-graduate programs. Ya know geosciences, geology, volcanoes?
The closest Brownsville comes is the "Chemistry and Environmental Sciences" department. They have two undergrad courses vaguely attached to geology, one being oceanography, and the other being "physical geology". That obviously doesn't cut it ( I am talking about "obvious" to me, but apparently not to you)
I am beyond amused that you would go off and pull those references and believe you're actually making a relevant argument. (Next thing we'll do is have a discussion about "significant", I'm sure).
No. Again you're wrong. Houston is significantly inland from what would be considered the "outer limits" on the map I posted. Galveston is closer to being on the "periphery" by your definition.
See Drip...this is what happens when you start spouting off consipracy theories and making patently false statements about places you've obviously never been to...to people who are from the state in which you're making the statements about.
YOU end up looking like more of a foolish assclown than you already are.
"OH, if ONLY Houston had been built out to sea, like Atlantis, I might be correct!"
Wingnut, "periphery" does not mean "outside" the boundary, but at the outer edges, and it is not a precise term that anyone but a mental midget would choose to split hairs over. Houston is clearly on the periphery of the Lava Creek eruption
Once again, this has nothing to do with any sort of conspiracy, but rather facts. I've not asserted any conspiracy whatsoever, and have only indicated that Houston, Texas is a strange place to relocate those studying Yellowstone volcanism.
Seriously, you should go back to fishing for navel lint. This is just making you look desperate to make a point, even at the expense of your own dignity...
