Anybody know who has the Texas ping list?
I hafta agree with that...They call Montana 'God's Country'...
I know Darrell Royal grew up about 8 miles from here in SW Oklahoma, can't say where he was born off-hand. But WTH this part of Oklahoma used to be part of Texas so you all can claim him. Agree with all the GOOD things said about Texas, but Houston DOES have skeeters the size of hummingbirds, honest!!!!
Understand the Okies had a similiar feeling last weekend after the big "Red River Shootout" in the Cotton Bowl.
Couldnt wait to get back to Okieland
It's my most favorite place.
I hate to rain on ya'lls parade, but when I think of Texas, I think of illegal aliens. To be a real cowboy you'd have to be from Montana or Wyoming.
Let's not forget Johnny Bush and Justin Trevino, Byron Nelson, Ben Hogan and Lee Trevino...I live in Nevada now, was born in California to a Texan mother. I lived there while attending UTA and have spent the last 5 years trying to convince my wife that we need to retire to Texas. No luck so far...
I was talking football to an Alabama boy the other day and he mentioned to me that folks in Alabama didn't consider Texas to be part of the South. I told him that he might want to explain that to the descendants of the Texas' Brigade members who saved Alabamans at Sharpsburg and who stormed Little Round Top with the Alabamans at Gettysburg. He thought about it for a moment and said, I had a helluva point...
3 yarrds and a cloud of dust.

My favorite team is whoever is playing UT.
I was lucky enough to live in Texas for 6 months over 30 years ago. Can't wait until my husband retires and we can put the "not native but got here as soon as we could" bumper sticker on our car. We love Texas.
To put it mildly.
You know you're in Texas when you break into a sweat the instant you step outside at 7:30 a.m.
Depends on where you're from. People in east Texas consider themselves to be part of the south 'cause that's where their ancestors came from.
Other areas associate themselves with the midwest or southwest.
Gorgeous pictures. I had to live outside of Texas for 9 years, and pined away for it the whole time. You can take the girl out of Texas, but you can't take Texas out of the girl. Been back for several years now, and have been so at peace since I returned. Texas is all about a unique outlook on life, a special attitude, friendliness, generosity, self-reliance yet knowing you can rely on others, and the all important TexMex! There is nothing that would get me to leave again. Of course, I grumble about the heat, lol.
You must have taken my husband's place, he left as soon as he could. lol
You learn that a seat belt buckle makes a pretty good branding iron.
bttt
LOL!
ROTFLMAO!!!!1111
Wow. That's even more-self-indulgent crap than I've seen from New Yorkers.
Same can be said for South Florida aka the world's largest open air sauna.
