Bobby Lee

“Texas has yet to learn submission to any oppression, come from what source it may.”
Sam Houston
“If you want to surf, move to Hawaii. If you like to shop, move to New York. If you like acting and Hollywood, move to California. But if you like college football, move to Texas.”

“I love Texas because Texas is future-oriented, because Texans think anything is possible. Texans think big.”

HA at the college football quote. And if you don't want to move to Texas, you could move to Madison, WI. :)

Neat quotes. There are lots of really neat places in Texas! No matter where you live it is great to have pride for your state.
I should mention something about OU and Longhorn football, but I will be nice....ROFL.
