Austin was much nicer 15-20 years ago.

I'll bet you're right.  I had never visited prior to 2014 when I had to go for business 2-3 times.  I expected to be impressed.  I wasn't.  And that surprised me.

It's gotten very big, very crowded, and hasn't managed that growth very well.

Yep.  With that damn freeway through the middle of town as offensive as any that I have ever experienced.  Those dozens of 10 story fly over ramps.  Yuk.

Besides the athletic department's near capacity to print money, there's loads of talent in Texas.
Since 1990, only California has produced more Burger Boys.

I absolutely hate the term "Burger Boys".  It drives me nuts every time I read it here.

I realize that this is completely irrational and has no real place in this thread, but I really felt like it was time for me to get this off my chest.  I feel much better now, even though I fully expect that my post is likely to result in more use of the phrase I hate rather than less.

Oh, and sorry for quoting you Pakuni for my rant.  (In serious Robin Williams voice)  It's not your fault... It's not your fault...

Not anymore!  Check the price.

Good man. Austin is a terrible place.

Still plenty of oil money for the big shots. They just lay off the rank and file, cut their benefits, etc. Don't worry ... the rich, old, white guys are still rich and old and whiter than ever.

I'll take the food in Austin over Milwaukee every day of the week and twice on Sundays.  And the weather 8 out of 12 months of the year.

I can't wait for Shaka to leave VCU. Those smug fans on their messages board think he's never leaving.

I love Austin.   It ranks up there with Boston as one of my favorite cities.  I just so happened to marry one of the attractive Austin ladies..........

Yeah Austin was a great time.  And damn you.  So what you mean is you went down there, found a 5, and brought her back to WI where she was suddenly a 10?  Well done, that's my plan.

Completely agree.  Wanted to take 2 things that I thought were slam dunks.  I could see music and women deemed as subjective by some.

I have been to Austin, Dallas, and Houston for week long stays.  Austin was awesome.  One of my favorite cities (maybe the Natty we won there had an effect on my thoughts of the city...).  Dallas and Houston were dumps, if you ask me (and we didn't do too bad in those 2 cities either...so maybe the results weren't the only reason I liked Austin...).

I have never been in a city with more attractive women than Austin.

I will pile on with the Austin lovefest.  I spent some great nights on 6th street and I love the UT campus area.

Austinites don't know the first thing about good BBQ. You don't find good BBQ in a city that has any buildings taller than six stories. Will admit that they have some other good joints though. There's a place that serves up great Carribean food

Honestly, music scene is better in Milwaukee. Austin has as many shows and good venues but they charge outrageous prices. Compare ticket costs between Summerfest and Austin City Limits and you'll see what I mean.

As for the women, that's just Texas man. You can find that anywhere in the Lone Star State. And the Texan girls not in Austin don't wear that gawdawful burnt orange

Yeah Austin was a great time.  And damn you.  So what you mean is you went down there, found a 5, and brought her back to WI where she was suddenly a 10?  Well done, that's my plan.

That's a real thing. A Texas 4 is a Wisconsin 10. I should know, I'm dating one!

There is no possible way that the music scene in Milwaukee is better than Austin.  Comparing large festivals and top concert venues is not a good measure for quality of the music scene.  Go into just about any bar on 6th Street on any given night and you will see quality performers trying to make a name for themselves.  You don't get that quality or quantity in Milwaukee.

I'm still in Texas.  There was no bringing her out of Texas.  Unfortunately we no longer reside in the Austin area, but in the future we both would love to end up there.

To add insult to injury, the BoDeans are now located out of Austin instead of Milwaukee.

Shaka is a prick tease every year. It must suck for VCU fans to have to go through his flirtatious advances every March.  UT and Austin may finally be a landing place for him because the political climate there may suit him and his wife. Austin is not what it once was, but the campus is nice and the hill country is very pretty. On the other hand Mrs. may not want to mess with happy and end up calling the shots again.
