Why do guys play college sports? They don't get paid for it and universities make money off of them.

Hahahahhaa. Sooo freaking true.

Guys play college sports for 2 but really one reason. 1 - stepping stone for most to go pro. 2 - for the nookie (though they are wanting to go pro for the nookie). Though if you go straight to the pros you still get nookie.

Notice where the relocating company was located? The worse state in the union and with the highest exit rate.

OKC and Omaha are on the list? For what, best place to raise a family and all that boring shit? lol

And Greenville, SC? Really?

Only city on that list that's worth a shit is Boulder.

Maybe we can dissuade would-be-Austinites and reroute them to Dallas or OKC? They're both on the list...for whatever reason.

Do what my grandfather said the Germans did in France, during WWII. Turn all the road signs, so people won't know where they are.

We have tried that... As it is, most of the major roads are referred to different names than are reflected on signs.

Glad I could help getting austin off someones list. I mean, football being a big deal in Texas? Who would have thunk it...

Don't count me off yet. I am a natural born Texan so I feel I have a right to go anywhere in Texas. I'm just looking for the best schools more than anything. I just don't want to dorm with a bunch of dumbass drunk freshmen if I have to go the dorm route. I'd probably kill someone. I'd only have to deal with it for 2 years and then once i get to med school I doubt I'll have to deal with that at all.

I have family in South Georgia and I know all about it. Say anything bad abotu UGA (despite they have never stepped foot on campus) and you'll wind up missing in the middle of a swamp.

Smittie, I despise football and I survive just fine here. But, I'm not on the college campus.

Great thing about Austin is that there is a group of people for every different walk of life or interest...well mostly.

My closest friends hate football as much as I do, so I never have to worry about it. And there are lots of hippies, but you can avoid them pretty easy.

Stay away from S. Ga...ESPECIALLY if you aren't a sports fanatic. Valdosta is called Title Town because its' two HIGH SCHOOLS, yeah I said high schools, have won more championships, blah blah buncha crap, etc...I officially HATE football of any kind after living here. Pro ball? They probly dont even know what it is, but they are so wrapped up in their high school ball they throw tailgating parties, lie on school applications to get their kid into one or the other high school, even get arrested for football related nonsense. Gawd forbid these kids pass in actual classes, if they can play ball the coaches get ppl to do their homework. Hate it. Buncha fanatics.

As far as Austin, ya'll can keep it, I prefer the DFW area myself...
