re: Troubling Word from UT Austin, Texas that may signal short season

I love how this phrase:

quote:

Hippe U of the South

basically dictated all readers' attention to this post toward a different point than the one the OP was aimed at making.

I've lived in Texas my entire life. I'd opine that it used to be the south, but no longer is (the state as a whole; obviously there are some places, especially in east Texas, that would still be considered "the south").

If Texas as a state really is part of the south, then Austin is definitely an outlier and I guess would indeed be home to the "Hippie U of the South". Whatever tf that means haha
