Wow, so now we are bashing the entire state of Texas. I am not a native Texan but lived here long enough to know, its a good place to live! Low cost of living, affordable housing, NO state income tax, excellent school districts and JOBS.

Don't take it personally. By the time we get to 900 posts, we've praised and hated on everything from the oil industry to the Latin language, NYBF, and many other things. I'm surprised we haven't discussed the distributions of Little Debbie products relative to Tuscaloosa and Austin.

Speaking of Little Debbies...I keep a box of Oatmeal Cream Pies and Raisen Cream Pies in my desk drawer. Delicicious!

McKee Foods Corporation (makes Little Debbie) has a plant in Chattanooga. Much closer than anything in Austin. That seals the deal...he's staying! You may now close this thread.

Funny that is what Cecil said on Finebaum today - but he was talking about the Texas side.

He really didn't say much about what would happen other than that. He did say that he really thinks this has drug on because Texas couldn't seem to find someone with the authority to fire Mack who would actually do it. He figures Sexton is telling Saban to just sit on the Alabama deal until Texas makes a formal offer - which is his job as an agent. He feels like Saban pretty much sets the bar for college coaches so he wants him to get as much as he can - not necessarily just for Saban but for his entire client base.

This actually make sense. The Little Debbie oatmeal pies will always be fresher in Tuscaloosa than in Austin. @GreatDanish, you don't have to be surprised anymore!

I personally don't care what they do at UT, my advice to whomever is coaching the longhorns (I'm pretty sure it won't be CNS), they should go back to the old style Texas football...you know, where they run over people instead of away from 'em.

The question isn't necessarily how close he is to the distributor, but how does McKee distribute? How prevalent are Little Debbies in food stores in Tuscaloosa vs. Austin?
Now, if they are unavailable in both places and they need to be ordered online, and thus shipped from the distributor, then maybe shipping time is a great factor.

It's actually in Ooltewah, NE of Chattanooga. Although there are products which are worse (Twinkies), the nutrition on those things aren't pretty, about a third of the calories from fat and not good fats at that. A close relative of mine had a position of high responsibility there for many years. He warned me never to eat anything coming out of that plant. Of course, he was highly selective about food, being an Adventist (as are the owners of that plant).

I once met a guy who told me his job title was food engineer at little debbie in TN. I asked what he did, and he said his job more or less was to figure out how to sell the consumer less product at the same price.

A caller into Finebaum just said something I've not read or heard. This guy's friend owns a car dealership in Tuscaloosa. He said his friend told him Saban is going to open a Mercedes dealership between Birmingham and Tuscaloosa. Finebaum said he had someone tell him the same.

I grew up in Huntsville, AL. I've lived in Houston, Pampa (up in the Panhandle) and now Corpus Christi. Texas is a really nice place to live. In general, the people are wonderful and there's no state income tax.Just ignore the more rabid shorthorn or aggie fans and you'll be ok. Every fan base has their Updykes.

I can tell you with 100% certainty that you can't swing a dead cat in the cookies and snack food ailse of any grocery store in Tuscaloosa without hitting a box of Little Debbies. No Paypal account needed to procure the sacred snacks.
