re: An education on Texas A&M's history and traditions please

South Carolina is just an awesome state in general. Tons of state pride, an inland region with tons of hills and outdoor stuff and a coastal region with great beaches. If I were to move outside Texas it would be near or at the top of my list

Yes and a relatively low cost of living, which is what attracts a lot of people from the rust belt.

We certainly have our flaws and don't rank high on a lot of list that rank states for whatever, but there are worse places for sure.

We have a lot of history dating back to the original colonies. More military history than most people I think realize so there is also a lot of pride in that, something else Texans and A&M in particular can relate to.

Yep, both state flag symbols date back to the Revolutionary War. As does our Gamecock mascot.
