A Sea Of Red

I'm sure it didn't exactly make headlines in Virginia, but a couple of South Texas colleges have merged to create what is now the University of Texas-Rio Grande Valley. Adios UT-Pan Am & UT-Brownsville (originally Texas Southmost). the UT-Pan Am AD is leading the combined school and he spent some time in the Late '90s working in the LU Athletic Department.

The board also gave the nod to using blue, green and orange as the colors for the new university, set to open in fall 2015.

And for those scratching their head at name Vaqueros, it is the Spanish term for cowboys. It is very appropriate for South Texas. The school remains a member of what is left of the WAC. The Southland has zero interest in welcoming them in.

Didn't make headlines here in Dallas either...

Dallas believes the world falls off a cliff once you leave Dallas County unless you are headed to Jerry World in Arlington. So I wouldn't give them much credence.

Thanks for the update. I can sleep well tonight.

I can post the hours of my local bank if anyone cares about that.

Houston just wishes they were Dallas.

How's that for some Dallatude?
