Previous apology repeated.
However, schools have motifs/reputations that do not apply to all students/alumni.
Not ALL tcehsters are obnoxious;
Not ALL aggys are cultists;
Not ALL Bailor football players are rape artists;
Cougar Hi actually has some smart grads;
Not ALL Longhorns are arrogant.
Sorry, but the majority of smu people I've known are rather snobby. Not my intention to impune EVERY student/alum. But the instutional reputation precedes itself.

Only a snob would invoke the word "impune."
 
OTF reporting DT Kendall Guervil of Fort Myers, FL is a guy that Texas has high on their board.

He hasn't been offered by Texas yet, at least publicly.

 
Wells at IT has put in a Texas pick for DT Jaimeon Winfield of Richardson High, who's arguably the top DL on the board.

“My family and I felt Texas was the perfect place for us. It’s a great state with so many resources to help you thrive. We’ve found our place here,” Winfield told Inside Texas.

That seems like a unofficial committment!

Not Lubbock-born...thank God. So. Plains/Permian Basin born.
Lubbock lived, but not Lubbock born. Now my kids...different story. I figured out how to make kids eternally grateful...birth 'em in Lubbock, get 'em outta there, then, around Jr Hi take 'em back to show 'em what you delivered 'em from. Upon entering Lubbock from the south (close enough to the stock yards) my older son said, "Dad, I don't remember Lubbock being this UGLY!"
Instant, eternal gratification.

Sorry that I’ve ever heard of Lubbock. We should tear down the place and replace it with a big cotton field. They hate me there simply because I’m longhorn. I attended Maedgen, then Evans Jr,High before we moved to Westlake in ‘70…thank goodness. Be well ISA!!

My daughter's HS team decided to attend BB camp there in the mid 90s. I drove her up and stood by as she checked in. I had a Longhorn ball cap on, pretty soon I noticed a 'lady' giving me a really ugly stare. A very tall coed walked up and said 'Coach Sharp would like for you to remove your ball cap', to which I replied 'who is Coach Sharp?' I really had no idea. After some back and forth with an asst coach I was finally told to either remove it or go outside. I went outside but not before walking by Sharp's table and saying 'You guys are more like Aggies than Aggies are.

Unreal. They hate us more than aggie..not even close. Many from the finest families died from meth, heroin, cocaine and booze way before they reached 50. Maybe it’s all the agricultural chemical dust they constantly breathe

I've got a lot of family roots in the panhandle. The majority are hard working farm/ranch/oil field folks. I can remember visiting up there as a kid, no one even gave Tech a 2nd thought much less any rivalry with Texas. Nowadays I dread seeing the younger members of that same bunch. All sand aggy all the time.

All of my great grandparents and grandparents are buried there. They were the pioneers. It was a nice, clean little town in the 50’s and 60’s. Sounds like your experiences were more rural than mine.

Shoot from the hip emotional comment. But to be fair, our new rb coach will have 4-5 months to reestablish relationships with all our rb targets.
Osborne seems to be the only "safe" bet. But that could change with the hire
 
I've never lived in Lubbock or the High Plains, and all my dealing with folks from up there have been at the Houston Livestock Show. All of them were great, particularly a particular County Agent over two counties out there. I made a bet about her age with a lady working with me. I thought she was a HS student. Turned out she was about 30. Great friend, gone way too soon.

As for arrogant Tech fans, just remind them that TCU kept them out of the SWC for decades until DKR shut TCU down and had Tech admitted. If it wasn't for The University of Texas, the folks in Lubbock would have a 25,000 seat stadium to watch Tech play in the WAC or MWC.

:hookem2:
 
I once dated a pretty lass from Tech. This was 1983-84. I used to drive up there (from Dallas) with another guy who was dating a friend of hers. We met them on summer break in Dallas. We ran out of gas about ten miles out of Lubbock. He got out and hitched a ride to get some gas. It took five minutes for someone to stop and pick him up. I waited with the car (stood outside) and had at least seven or eight people stop and ask if I needed help.

Lubbock. I love you.

The amount of s**t thrown @ me for being Longhorn in Lubbuttock is measured by the metric ton. 15 of my 18 yrs there were as Longhorn. I've had enough s**t thrown at me to cover the entire So. Plains 3' deep in some of that organic fertilizer they "grow" just S.W. of town.
Glad you escaped when you did, Gly. I still have fam & friends there but haven't rtned since Dad passed 10 yrs ago.
I understand & appreciate the attitude of most here toward aggy, but personally, I have 10x more schadenfreude over a tceh loss than aggy.

If a fraction of Coach Sharp's fan base knew her sexual orientation she would instantaneously lose 85% of said fan base (would be greater loss were it not for a portion of said fan base of same orientation).

Huge cultural difference between Panhandle & So. Plains. One would not think so, but there is an invisible line going south somewhere around Tulia that is the entry point of the Twilight Zone.
