Our strict unwritten dress code there, and back then, was that to wear an actual cowboy hat, you had to actually have a family ranch and actually work cattle, or do rodeo, or both. To not follow this dress code would be to subject yourself to endless ridicule...
Quite a few of you Horn posters have surprised me. I come to tRant to throw anonymous jabs about y'all being gay homosexuals.
Y'all have turned out to be a pretty likable bunch. Hell, BigBro has made tRant way the damn hell better with his SEC baseball spreadsheets, and then you come here with your tales of your Texas small town life.
I'm having a hard time with this.

Hey, thanks, it’s easier to be decent when it is not football season, ha…!
My brother actually co-owns rural Texas property where he deer hunts, with an Arkansas grad. Both of the Arkansas grad’s daughters attended Arkansas and participated on the gymnastics team.
I plan to pass through Arkansas in May on a road trip to visit my 90 y/o Texas dad. I like to mountain bike, and will have my mountain bike with me.
Any place that you might suggest that I stop in the Ozarks to bike or hike when I am passing through? Tks…

Hopefully you don't drive a Subaru with a "Visualize World Peace" decal on the back. There's lots of those types in NWA that tool around with their bikes in tow.
In all seriousness, this link might help you: NWA Mountain Bike Trails

I only had one pair of cowboy boots growing up and never a hat. Baseball caps were the work uniform around my house.

What's that song - "people are people wherever you go - our troubles are all the same"...
The kids raised in Texas that went to UT or A&M both came from the same state. Now, granted there are other cultures mixed in because after all - these schools attract the academic best. Engineers go to both schools. Business majors go to both. Scientists, Health Care professionals, etc.
I think only 2 things remain unique:
* To be a Vet - you gotta go A&M
* To be a Pharmacist - you gotta go Texas

Bless your heart. Y'all are filling that trophy case up with meat judging championship trophies.

Good mountain bike trail link, thank you!
I totally get the Subaru reference, haha, but I actually drive a Toyota Tundra 4x4 ... it pulls the small camper, and it's easy to just pitch stuff in back...

Ags have some unique specialty programs that we did not have.
Maritime Archeology is one, and it's a great program. A&M was involved in the excavation of 1600s French explorer La Salle's ship "La Bell" off the Texas coast near where I grew up...

Funny, I grew up on farms and ranches and never (and still dont) wear boots or a cowboy hat.

Sounds like you had no need to impress anybody - a positive trait in my book…

Haha just a costume… not too much weesatch, mesquite, or cactus to ride through where these boys tend our Old Smoky mini cannon at the back of our end zone…

Aggies know cock better than anyone.

What is your hometown? I grew up outside Victoria.

We would probably wear cowboy hats if we were outside every day all day, sunup to sundown. But I'm just a ball cap guy nowadays. I wear boots but of course not dressy cowboy boots - just red wing steel toes. But only if I'm "working", so to speak.
I used to wear boots more when I lived in the Brady/Mason area - more rattlers out there.
