Well said! Much excitement in the whole community about RG3. Baylor has always had a great relationship with the city of Waco, they are good neighbors and community partners. We are all pulling for him. It’s been great to see their football program take off and see good things happen for a hard working local athlete.
LaWoman3, ping to local excitement.
I'm pinging Allegra because, like me, she's been all over the world. My work has taken me from Tokyo to Tacoma to Turkey and all points in between.
Yet, when I'm in one of those far-flung places, it's Texas that draws me back home. And I'll admit to having a special place for Waco because it's truly in the heart of Texas. The Texas Rangers Museum and the Dr (no period) Pepper Museum are favorites. And there's plenty of fine eating (steaks in particular) at the many restaurants in and around Waco.
A few years ago when Ken Starr opted to relocate from Malibu (Pepperdine) to Waco (Baylor), there was stuned reaction -- even here on Free Republic. I've been to Malibu and I've been to Waco. Malibu: You're no Waco! Malibu may have the Pacific but Waco has the people, friendly, pro-God and pro-gun all the way.
...or at least that's the way I see it.
