  1. UT was the only choice for my daughter. She attended her first UT game at the age of 4. My wife (SFA grad) encouraged her to look at other schools to make an informed decision. We made one trip to Baylor to investigate their nursing program. This was more to appease the wife than for my daughter as it was clear that it was UT or bust for my daughter. Finally my daughter and I (UT grad) told the wife the situation and that we were wasting our time even considering anything else. My daughter was an auto-admit to UT in 2010 as she was in the Top 10% of her class. She was not admitted to the Nursing School. She eventually changed her major and graduated from the School of Communications in 2014 and is working in Durham. UT was not the school of choice for my son. He preferred a more rural setting so that he could go hunting or fishing whenever he desired. He ended up at SFA and graduated in 2017. If UT was not in an urban setting he would have gone there. He liked the school atmosphere and its academics but not the big-city setting. Oddly enough he has now ended up working in Ft. Worth. Despite him graduating from SFA he is a huge Texas fan as that is what he grew up on. FWIW, attending SFA is much less expensive than UT.
  2. As an alum, there are only a few things that tops putting the Horns up and singing The Eyes of Texas.

  5. I am presently in Perth, Australia on business. This afternoon I was in the CBD getting a bit of exercise. I had stopped at the street crossing waiting to cross when a guy approached me and asked if I were a Longhorn. Being that I had a UT shirt on I naturally replied "yes". He in turns extends his hand and announces that he is an aggy. I shake his hand and say, "You have my condolences".

  10. Words. So many of them.... but all true.
  11. SIAP, They moved to Hallsville from Florida and were only in Hallsville a couple of years. Parker Braun followed his older brother to GT. Braun played with a nastiness in high school that was not always appreciated by East Texas fans as he played outside of the "sportsmanship rules". Was hoping that they would stay in Hallsville so I could watch the young one coming through. He was huge. As an 8th grader he was the biggest kid in the entire football program. I believe he was also playing AAU basketball. Both would be a great get for the Texas program.
  12. I have a blunt instrument as a secret weapon. I am prepared for battle should the need arise.
