Plenty of legitimate points, though I disagree with the gross generalizations. Lots of very cool people in Austin, even with the influx of d-bags from Silicon Valley. SXSW is garbage these days, that's true.

But these points, I mean, come the frick on.

You sir are high. Dallas Texas is one of the most spectacular middle America shitholes on the planet. It's just after Myrtle Beach on the list of top places to hold above ground nuclear testing.

Where in the world you got that impression I have no idea. You might as well call the sun green and the sky red because insulting Texas is nonsense. It's the best state in the country by a wide margin and everyone knows it.

On second thought, maybe y'all do think the sun is green considering you think one of LSU's colors is gold.




UT insults, not state of Texas insults


But thanks for confirming the reason I do hate the state of Texas due to over inflated egos and sense of self worth

I actually love Austin, but not UT.

I find pleasure in watching you guys squirm though when people taunt you with Texas insults. Its like we can feel you boiling with anger through the computer screen.


Clear as mud, definitely worthy of 's

Just that they waste time and money on crap like this:

When they should be scrambling to turn i35 into a city-long double deck like their lives depend on it.

Again, look at the link.

I am still right though.

Sure, but at least I can get to the Dallas burbs easier than I can get to any Austin burb. Living inside any major city if you aren't young, single or gay sucks.

It is not really that I prefer cookie cutter burbs, I just appreciate a place to park more than awesome food trucks or a happening music scene that I have to walk like 12 blocks to get to. That happens to mean I prefer the burbs by default.

Well, I guess if you are too lazy to walk twelve blocks you probably will be the ideal suburbanite. Hope your local WalMart has hoverounds to keep you from having to hoof it through those huge stores.

Because in Texas and much of the conservative south, homeless is not an "issue" or "problem" that needs attention drawn to it. Instead homeless is the inevitable consequence of people living with their failures that needs to be hidden from sight. I don't think that is necessarily correct as a perspective on life, but the facts are that the "pull yourself up by the bootstraps" mentality is more entrenched in southern areas of the country.

Anywhere else in Texas would spend money on getting homeless people off the street and out of the eyesight of its successful citizens that pay the tax bills. Austin considers making them a statue to elevate awareness about "the problem," even though anyone that has stopped on almost any street corner in the town is plenty aware.

It is a subtle thing for sure. Like when you are watching a college football game on Dish and the game broadcast is based on someplace like New York and you keep seeing one GED commercial after another.

Which is exactly what anyone might have suspected from the beginning. Muschamp is beyond the Texas A&M's of the world. Maybe if he was just starting out as a coach, but almost any job he's had since 2003 has been a bigger and better job than A&M.

AND he's just had a hell of a time in Gainesville at a top 5 job in college football.

That sounds like it's almost directly from A&M's 247 site and is probably inaccurate. I don't think there's any question that this is an A&M/AU battle all the way that will be probably end in a bidding war driven up by Sexton.

IMO, A&M is much more committed to/in need of Muschamp when you consider that we've got $30M invested in a coach and $450M invested in a stadium. Losing momentum(i.e. donations) is not an option for the program right now and if that means overpaying a DC >$1.5M then A&M will do it just like they did with Sumlin last year.

I have no doubt Auburn can go toe to toe with A&M for a coordinator's salary, but I also know they're still paying Chizik and have made it much further than A&M with just a "competent" defense/DC. I'm just not sure Auburn is as desperate as A&M right now to land the best available DC in the country.

Any Aubs care to comment on that side of things?

I'm firmly in the camp that the two schools with current DC vacancies to fill have a leg up, FWIW.
