    Rumor spreadin' 'round
    In that Texas town
    About that shack outside La Grange
    And you know what I'm talkin' about
    Just let me know if you wanna go
    To that home out on the range
    They got a lot of nice girls

    Have mercy
    A-haw, haw, haw, haw
    A-haw, haw, haw, haw

    Well, I hear it's fine
    If you got the time
    And the ten to get yourself in
    A-hmm, hmm
    And I hear it's tight
    Most every night
    But now I might be mistaken
    Hmm, hmm, hmm

    Have mercy

    That little ole band from Texas: Billy Gibbons / Dusty Hill / Frank Beard

    Texas style BBQ, especially brisket.

    Austin is a great city.

    That’s about it. Texas is the most overrated state in the US. Not that it’s bad or anything… just consistently overrated. Texas is the Beatles of states.

    For time at UF I played basketball on Saturday mornings with a group of guys. I was heading out to Port Arthur, Texas for a summer job, and one of the other guys was heading to El Paso for his two weeks of national guard duty. He suggested we get together on the weekend. He was shocked to learn that Port Arthur, Texas was halfway between Gainesville and El Paso. Half of the distance was in the one state.

    Their speed limits are higher.

    But their exit system off of highways sucks ass. And every road is under construction all at once :mad: (Houston I'm looking at you, Beaumont too, that whole area sucks)

    Congressional Medal of Honor Winner & Hollywood actor, Audie Murphy, Admiral Chester Nimitz, were both Texans. So were Farrah Fawcett, Sharon Stone & Earl Campbell.

    Roger Staubach made his fortune there & starred with the Cowboys as did Emmitt! WWII B-17 pilot, Tom Landry was the Cowboys’ first coach.

    Texas A&M has the most congenial, accommodating fan base I have ever encountered. More importantly, the school has produced 7 Congressional Medal of Honor winners.

    Lastly, my grandfather was fromfrom Kerrville, TX.

    Great post, except there were never Medal of Honor "winners." It was never a competition. They were awardees...
