What makes Texas so different from say, Florida or UGA?
Seriously? Have you been to Athens or Gainesville? While Gainesville or Baton Rouge is the closest thing to Austin, they are each just a smaller Corpus Christi without a beach. And Athens? It is a larger Nacogdoches and just as country.
Again, I enjoy visiting the SEC towns and I love visiting Austin. That said those towns, the people, the culture, the atmosphere, and the schools are not even remotely similar to UT and Austin. Its not necessarily a bad thing, but its non-debatable that they are a culturally a weird fit. At the end of the day though, its sports. Who gives a shite if they aren't. I'm looking forward to the additions.

But did you ever go to Austin in the 70's? It was a beautiful southern town without the weirdos.
Most of the crap you see there now is from outsiders moving in from up north or the west coast.
I still submit to you that Austin (was) originally a nice little mid-size city with southern flare. Many of the alumni still are, even if they don't live there. They are fans of the Longhorns and will travel well and spend money in your town.
