It kinda does my head in that Midwestern State University is, in fact, in Texas.

It’s even more confusing that the university is in a town called Wichita Falls.

@tkinias No, no, no. Stop trying to bamboozle us with your egghead notions that down is up. As Texas is beneath the Midwest, so too is Bavaria under Saxony. One only has to look at a map. @lavaeolus
