Austin TX is a wonderful place. Now you are going to have to take up some kind of appreciation for Texas Longhorn football and to a lmuch esser extent basketball, but you will like living in Austin.

I think it was Darrell Royal (former UT football coach and then AD) who said that the biggest sports in Texas are:

1. College football
2. College football spring practice
3. High school football
4. Touch football

That might give you an idea of the sporting landscape there...

When you are looking for trips to take to discover what your new surroundings are like, let me echo the sentiments expressed here earlier. Stay away from the panhandle; it is pretty bleak - - on its best days.

San Antonio is a nice town that has far too little national recognition.
