I have never watched a televised rodeo competition, nor do I know anyone who does.
I am guessing you work in a blue collar (probably oilfield) trade with a group of guys who come from very rural communities and who do not have college degrees.

Baylor, Tcu and uh all have cupcake schedules

Not really. They're just in hiding right now. Aside from their actual alumni, their fanbase is VERY frontrunner in nature and they have sucked for half a decade. When they are doing well again, you will see their gear and supposed "fans" EVERYWHERE and the level of boasting and smack-talk coming out of them will be overwhelming.

I respectfully disagree. It remains to be seen how this offseason will affect Baylor but Houston would at the very least be a very close game. Hell, Houston may upset Oklahoma week 1.

I bet they made you squeal like a pig too
And those dudes aren't from Texas. They are from the country, it's different here. Not to my liking per se but cities = all football, pro, college and HS
country in Texas = Rodeo and high schewl sports

Houston would bend Aggie over, Baylor and TCU would go In dry.

frick man all these cow lick towns in Texas are a joke. I do some work sending info out to East and West Texas. The mindset is a fricking joke. It's sad and frightening to see actually. Any attempt at improvement is met with "but we've got a high school whatever sport game, we can't do anything different".
The rural Texas folks are about 40 years behind the times. Seriously. Some "towns" in both east/west I can't get cell or internet service. And the people that live there like it that way.

Meh, there is something kinda exciting about staying in a place like Marfa or Alpine. Feels like you are on the edge of civilization, on the edge of the modern world.
City life isn't for everyone.

Yea everybody from Waxahachie is a moron...Including all of the surrounding communities(Ennis, Midlothian, Italy, and Corsicana). Most didn't go to college and they don't know what the world is like outside of Texas....one of the most close minded bunch you'll ever meet and this is coming from a person who grew up in Mississippi

Have you seen aTm aggies pitiful record in the Big12?
aTm has sucked for decades now, nothing really has changed
aggies were about .500 in conference in the Big12, and the same .500 in conference in the SEC

If you had a map on the wall and stuck your finger on what looks like the center of the state, that's where my parents live. Only one cell phone company (Verizon) provides service there, and even then they need a signal booster Verizon installed in their house and have to stand under on certain tree. They have satellite TV and satellite internet (which sucks) because otherwise dial-up is all they could have. The nearest post office is in a trailer. Despite the total population figure, there's still a lot of the state that's extremely rural and sparsely populated. Everyone lives in (or near) Houston, Dallas, Fort Worth, San Antonio, Austin, Corpus, and El Paso. Hell, even the Karolyi's gymnastics ranch, which is the "finishing school" for the US Olympic gymnastic team, is so remote that they have to send drivers to pick the girls up from IAH or people to meet them at the nearest highway because mapping software isn't good at providing directions and cell phones don't work well there.
