assume state university
You know why. It's Texas. It's the state university of Texas. They just assume that posture. It's their birthright.

We each had our own bowl we ate from. Sometimes they didn't wash it out. This woman, I don't know why she did it.

It'd be a damn shame if they left Dallas. Texas-OU is a rare jewel. It's so unique and wonderful. Where else can you take a day and go to the State Fair, ride a Ferris wheel, grab a few cold refreshments and walk over to watch one of college football's greatest rivalries?

There aren't many places where you'd find folks that'd rather have a corn dog then a steak. But I think in this one, you probably do. And then riding that Ferris wheel, you can get sick before they even tee it up.
