Default I wish they'd stop telling people

How awesome Austin is.

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

Austin is closed. We've already met our quota for idiot drivers, assholes, and drunk college students.

I'd question the list. They put Augusta, GA on there. Everyone I know from Augusta (and that is a lot) now live in Atlanta or Afganistan.

Can you allow one more? I'm fixing to apply to various schools, including the University of Texas-Austin. They have a top ranking Chemistry program and I'm trying to get out of my POS school and into a good University that is worth a shit.

I just hate hippies and over the top football fans. Pleeeeeaaaase tell me Austin doesn't have that shit.

I mean, to clarify - this is who I went to tailgating and to the UT football game with on Saturday:


Yes, she bought that car JUST to tailgate with. She's a little into it. The guy was some random person that walked by.

That makes me want to punch babies.

I live in Atlanta (the city, not the suburbs) and they recently had a football game between the University of Georgia and some other school in Atlanta. Normally they seclude themselves to Athens and cheesy sports bars if outside of athens. They fucking drove me nuts. I was hoping the thugs of Atlanta would keep it real and blast their yellowish shorts and tucked in pink alligator symbol shirt plus visor wearing at 2 in the morning asses back to... well wherever UGA football fans come from.

UGA fans have got to be the worst football fans period. I also don't understand the appeal to college football vs pro. My only conclusion is that Southern Men can't stand watching a black man make money.

I just need to find a good school with a good physics or biochem program that doesn't have a football team or at least one that doesn't matter. NYU Abu Dhabi is appealing more to me everyday.

Stay away from Austin if you hate Georgia fans that much, Texas fans are worse than Georgia fans. At least Georgia has the honor belonging to the best conference in college football and can hang their hat on being part of good football. Texas fans pretend to themselves (thanks to ESPN) that they are actually worth a damn every year, but when in reality, they are shitty and in a terrible conference. Oh and they are going to be the reason their terrible conference falls apart too.

College football vs pro football is region thing. If you live in a city that has pro football, you are more likely to watch that more since you have access. I watched the Saints a lot more when I lived in New Orleans. Now that live in a college town, I tend to watch college more. Atlanta has got to be interesting since they offer both with Georgia. High school ball is fun to watch when you live where there is good teams, like Rae. The Louisiana Catholic league games are fun as shit to watch because it is on the level of some college teams since they actually nationally recruit. The Florida high schools are the same way.

I'm surprised San Diego is not on the list.
