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.

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.

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

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...

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...

Georgia: The place, in which I can safely say, I've had more of those stupid plastic high school football car flags hit my vehicle than anywhere else.

I legitimately don't understand the appeal of DFW or Houston. They are just a giant mall/church.

I bet the have a church with a mall in it. And a Chili's or Applebee's too. That would define DFW perfectly.

Actually my dad refers to it as "the soul-sucking monster of Texas" It's got no soul, man.
