I legitimately don't understand the appeal of DFW or Houston. They are just a giant mall/church.

I bet the have a church with a mall in it. And a Chili's or Applebee's too. That would define DFW perfectly.

Actually my dad refers to it as "the soul-sucking monster of Texas" It's got no soul, man.

So true

The Orange County of the South (but without the cool scenery or beaches)

I think there was a King of the Hill episode about that.

I grew up in DFW, to me, Austin has no soul...just a big shiny city, but granted DFW has done the same thing, but it will still always be home.

Maybe we spell it differently, but I grew up with ya'll and ya'll it will always be (could also be cuz I'm part oklahoman

). I dont say y _ all, If we want to be picky, technically we should spell it yawl, as thats how its pronounced.

Honey, it's basic English. It's a contraction. The two words involved are "You" and "All". You are removing the "ou" (haha) from "you", so you would put the ' in place of the removed letters.

Just like the rest of the English language, spelling has nothing to do with pronunciation.

Austin, big & shiny?

It's more of a college town to me.

What they're saying is, Austin is more culture mecca, while Dallas is more generic, big retail chains, etc.

After looking that list over, I don't want to live anywhere on that top 10 except for maybe Boulder. Can't believe they ranked anywhere in Michigan as a "good" place to live.

Somewhere around Boulder wouldn't be bad, but Boulder is to pricey compared to places around it that are just as good.

Lists like this often remind me of the Travel Channel "Best __________". For example I watched "the best beaches of the Carribean". All they did was showcase resorts that I think the producers just wanted to stay at and have a reason to have the Travel Channel pay for their vacation and to write off expenses on their taxes. Basically they're biased as hell.

As for the SEC shit. Last thing I need a Georgia fan to hear. I'm more concerned with rankings of schools for the degree I want. Personally I think the more important football is to a school the dumber it is (with few exceptions). Also the more hardcore a college football fan is, the less likely it is they have ever stepped on campus much less been to that college (or any college).
