In Texas, two things are cherished above all else- football and gossip.
I was raised in cities but I was raised in Texas, so there's a certain amount of connection to the earth.
I am about the people of the United States of America and the people of Houston, Texas.
I just want Texas to be number one in something other than executions, toll roads and property taxes.
Damn, she was getting so tangled up by guilt and desire. ~Nikki in Texas Tangle
Notre Dame is the one school that has a national recruiting base, from Florida to Texas to California.
Who today is willing to say that Texas and California and the remainder of the Southwest would be better off if they were governed by Mexico?
For me, it is just the total experience - from the time I first started as an assistant coach until I wound up at the University of Texas for 20 years.
I'd heard about Texas football and how much of a religion it is, but to go to Odessa and experience it first-hand is something different than just hearing about it.
My dad was very successful running midgets in Texas. Then, his two drivers ran into some bad luck. People started saying that Daddy had lost his touch. That it was the cars and not the drivers. I wanted to race just to prove all those people wrong.
I was lucky enough to get to see guys like Bugs Henderson, Jimmy Wallace, all those great Texas blues players.
I try and eat good. On the road, that's next to impossible. And we eat a lot of unhealthy things when we're in Texas - that's what you do there.
The tradition you have at the University of Texas is like no other. It helped me in the future where I got to play in 2 cities that were rich in tradition.
I always had a curiosity about Texas. I had a curiosity about small-town life, although, granted, Odessa's not a tiny town.
I went to Texas a few times for gigs and adopted the cowboy look. Every man, at some point in his life, goes through a cowboy stage - everyone! Well, at least everyone that I look up to!
I grew up riding when I was younger in Texas. I actually learned how to ride in Norway. I really love riding horses.
But I went to the University of Texas in the 30s, and while there I learned to ride. Mostly polo ponies.
I came to Baku the same way I would go to Texas - because they asked me to come and play hip hop.
I was skeptical about doing Texas Chainsaw at first because it's such a cult classic. I'd seen some of the sequels and was not a fan of those.
While the rest of the country is still talking about welfare reform, Texas is implementing it.
Texas is OK if you want to settle down and do your own thing quietly, but it's not for outrageous people, and I was always outrageous.
