All about what part of town you live in. The North and Northwest side on the edge of the Hill Country is fantastic. Just beautiful. The cost of living is the lowest of the major Texas cities. The mexican food is the best in the world and cheap and there are lots of other cool restaurants in town if you know what you are doing. The people are laid back and know how to have a good time. You have Sea World and Six Flags for the kids and some fantastic golf courses. Downtown and the Riverwalk are always fun. San Antonio is one of the few places in Texas with real history as well with the Alamo and the Missions, it's such an old city compared to the other big cities in Texas.
SA is probably the most touristy city in Texas though. It amazes me how many people who have gone there just go to the Riverwalk and think of that as San Antonio. Kind of like going to the Strip in Vegas and assuming that is the town.
Love me some San Antonio.

Texas-Arky = Alabama/Tennessee of the SWC
Texas-A&M = Alabama/Auburn of the SWC

Texas/Arky is closer to Bama/Ole Miss than Bama/Tennessee. Texas/OU is Bama/Tennessee. Both schools are traditional power programs with lots of national prominence that play the same time every year mid season. The only difference is Texas/OU is at the Cotton Bowl and for decades they were in different conferences.
Essentially Arkie had a great run in the '60s that carried over into the 70's but then they fell back to being "pretty good". They had one NC year and some conference titles in that span, basically the Frank Broyles era when Texas and Arkie took advantage of the lack of scholarship limitations at the time and dominated over the SWC. From 1915-59 Arkie won 3 SWC Titles. After 1975 Arkie has won 3 Conference Titles. A decade and a half of great football from 40 years ago does not a great rivalry make.
A&M by contrast won at least one conference title every decade up until the '00s, has more of them, and has more all time wins than Arkie. The comparisons to Arkie and OU are just comical.

Also, there's this. Clearly Arky leaving for the SEC rustled their jimmies WAY more than A&M leaving.

Um... they care way more that we left. We are more of a threat to them.

We already had the "Does A&M or Arky have a better football program historically?" thread.
You lost. DWI

Yep, Texas just let A&M go without a peep.

I was at the last A&M - UT game. Their halftime was saying good luck and a show of gratitude.
The halftime show they did for us was full of butthurt.
