Yea, but it was a bs year for the Longhorns. Not the same without Vince Young and just loser referees. I couldn't believe I was watching excited aggie fans saying that they won that night.  (so funny they think they won, I almost wanted to crack up in front of them.) I'm thinking that they didn't win, they got lucky they had a retard referee on their side. |
Wow. It must really suck to have the scoreboard reflect that the Aggies DID win. There are always going to be bad refs. What goes around comes around.
I have a baby bottle for you if it's feeding time.. |

The Houston's your place.. more theaters than any other US city (outside of NYC of course) and more restaurants per capita than any other city (except NYC.) ..of course it's much cheaper than NYC.. |

Hey all,
I've read this thread end to end several times..
I'm likely to move to Texas in the next 14 months or so. I plan on doing an MBA at UT Austin, Rice, SMU or A&M. I am applying to programs in California and NYC as well. Any thoughts for me? I'll be a broke-ish student for around 20 months. All schools being academically equal, what is the culture like on these campuses? which cities have the best job market, and how is the cost of living? I read that Houston is very reasonable and has high salaries, is this the case? |

I have never lived in Texas.. but I have lived in both New York City and San Francisco.
From all the statistics I've been able to gather.. Texas does have a very low cost of living and very well-paying jobs comparitively. Kind of best of both worlds.
Texas culture on the hand.. I can't seem to figure out.. seems very football-ish overall.. overall conservative (with liberal Austin standing out in stark contrast).. but the cost-of-living/jobs thing seem to be the #1 thing in its favor.. plus all the great bands that seem to come either out of or come through Texas. |

UT is considered to be one of the top MBA programs in the south. You'd love Austin there is so much to do there music, rests., the hill country. I personally dont care for Houston (smelly, NO Zoning, humidity that makes seoul seem like Phoenix). I also dont care for College Station, very conservative (they used to have Rush Limbaugh listening rooms in resturaunts) Dallas aint bad and would be my second choice of a city to live in outside of Austin
All those MBA programs will be very expensive (you'll be paying out of state tuition for at least one year at UT and A&M). UT has a national rep while the others have good regional reps. My advice is IF you can get into UT go there then try SMU and Rice. |

This is the ONE place I'd definetely live in Texas..
(Its the area of Texas that RON PAUL, Senator of Texas represents..)
I also drove through Aransas (north of Corpus Christi).. and its a cool little beach town. Galveston too. |

| I've been to Corpus Christi , Port Aransas, and South Padre beaches. There are no "clear" beaches in TX it seems. The Port Aransas was gross when I went. Seaweeds all over the beach, and even in the water. I tried to swim, but all the huge seaweed chunk mixture kept rubbing all over my body as I swam and it felt so gross. The beach by the U.S. S. Lexington was prettier but the sand had sharp pieces of broken shells. I'd still rather live in Dallas or Austin rather than that area. Better pay, much bigger cities, and a lot more things to do.My friend is from there so we went there a lot for Spring Break and Memorial day weekend. Several of his friends are moving to Dallas from there. Well, but then again, we all have different likings. |

I used to live in Dallas. It would take a lot for me to move back to Texas; no mountains, crappy political environment (outside of Austin), and just a general feeling of "I don't belong here."
I preferred Arizona. |

You mean, no mountains one can ski on. West Texas has beautiful mountains. |
