Bubbles Up

Tampa is in the footprint. It is stupid to say it isn’t. It’s like saying Texas isn’t Southern.

Is LSU trying to weasel out of playing their biggest rival in football, AGAIN?

They don’t call y'all the yellow bellied kitties for nothing.

:lol:

Average of 35” rain per year and frequent drought conditions. But yeah I wish it were real grass. FWIW I just came from watching game 1 and it looks a little better in person than it does on TV. But it’s still turf

Cop out. Y’all could have natural surfaces on your football and baseball fields if you weren’t lazy. You can easily water that with recycled water like the golf courses all over Austin do.

If only there were an Ag school 90 miles east that could teach you how to do these simple things…

Weren’t you in here bragging about swimming or some shite like that recently?

Y'all should have gone to the PAC 10. tu doesn’t belong here.

Paxton is a shite bag. No one is saying he isn’t. But Cornyn didn’t support the Save Act, and didn’t do what needed to be done to further the conservative agenda in the Senate. Cornyn was completely fricking worthless.

Now, I don’t give a crap who Paxton is as a person, he is a million times better than that heretic Talerico. I am a Christian and a sinner, but I recognize and proclaim God’s truths. Talerico lies about what the Bible says, and that is unforgivable. God will deal with him.

I’ll gladly vote Paxton all day long over that blasphemous freak.

Look, dumbass, quit being an obtuse redneck. No one said anything about golden mythical invitations. We’re just talking about historical hypotheticals.

It’s your pride and smugness that can’t get past who, and who might not have joined the SEC at certain intervals in history.

Good lord. It’s like you need a new trailer or something…

Huh? It’s like…no one is talking about you, but yet you still need attention.

It’s a fact. Don’t let your pride and arrogance stand in the way of history.

But either way it didn’t ultimately happen.

It didn’t happen so it doesn’t matter, now does it?

Whether the SEC would have really gone through with UH or not, is immaterial. If they needed a 14th member, they probably would have. Ultimately the political landscape in Texas at that time squashed any of us from joining until we did.

When we joined, it was our third opportunity to do so. And that’s a fact.

Not really. Arkansas always shouldve been. Aggies are Texans at heart and not southern

Actually, yes. Texas culture is a subset of Southern Culture that was uniquely shaped by the pioneers and settlers that came to Texas from Mississippi, Alabama, Tennessee and Kentucky to settle it. To say otherwise is galactically stupid.

Our politics, our culture, our mannerisms, our values, and our entire belief structure as Texans is uniquely Southen to its core.

Texas A&M had deep early ties to the Confederacy, and has a statue of a man in the center of our campus that served as a General in the Confederacy, later as Governor of Texas, and after that as President of the A&M College of Texas. Our Corps of Cadets is no different than The Citadel, VMI, or North Georgia. And all three being designated as Senior Military Colleges, or SMCs. That is very much a Southern thing.

So every time I hear someone say that Texas isn’t “southern” I laugh my arse off because that poster just revealed their intelligence, or lack thereof.

I offer no apologies that my state, along with Florida, are leading the movement of Southern Conservatism. Perhaps Tennessee just isn’t big enough. I also offer no apologies that Texas is ~ 850 miles wide and tall. Sure, El Paso is decidedly “western” in geography, but Beaumont is part of Acadiana. Texarkana is no different than any other southern town, as are all the areas east of I35.

But bless your heart, if saying Texas isn’t Southern makes you feel good. We belong here, we should have always been here, and we are here to stay.
