Texas - Texas A&M

Wit and wisdom from the talking heads covering the Longhorns - Aggies game:

"Softball is a sport of momentum and runs much like basketball."

Since when do they score runs in basketball????

Around here, you are correct to question this......however, you are in Texas, right?

Not scoring runs... going on runs (i.e. taking advantage of a hot inning, etc).

Little touchy, are we? I didn't say anything about anyone in Texas, but you seem to think I did. But are you gonna deny those from the great Republic of Texas don't have a tendency to do things THEIR way?

And where did the "floridian" come from? Did the state of Florida finally reclaim L.A.?

Larry, holding out on us?

Destin is still in Lower Alabama, but they think like the peninsula.

Last I checked, Destin was in Florida...............I love Aladamnbama.......they know how to make grits and bbq.........and I got stopped by the Al Highway patrol .......and they were the most proffessional cops I ever ran into (except for Illinois)......

I have a lady friend in Destin......a daughter in Tempe (another in Galveston and another in Houston)........and a lot of time on my hands........

I thought that the txazfloridian was funny.........obviously I failed.....

The panhandle, in the past few decades had often been referred to as Lower Alabama, as Larry noted. At one point, even Florida Magazine questioned the panhandle's status.

It probably doesn't matter much so long as the emphasis is on "az".
