Swimming pigs and SWT hotties is what the place was known for.

Now SWT is Texas State, the hotties are gone, and the swimming pigs are found at Sewell Park instead of up by the springs.

This, I guess, I don't know.

We had a water tower when I was there...probably still do. Old rice mill, horrible sports teams, my class bumped us up to 2A for two years. My second cousin played for the Atlanta Falcons. A lot of teachers/coaches canoodling with students. Typical small town stuff.

'91 Texas 5A football state champs.


Was this the year 5A went to two divisions? I feel like I remember seeing Division 1 Champs sign or banner at Leo Buckley when we played there for a playoff game in 2000.
Did you actually play in that game (and season)?

Yeh this the city that's slow, the city that's thowed
The city where the boys flip the candy painted low
The city where they blow big killa and stayed blowed
Hustling ass D-boys got the game sewed
Where they sip that paint (sip that paint) and drip that paint (drip that paint)
And drop that top (drop that top) and grip that grain (hold up)
6-10, I-10, 59, 45, and da belt
This Clutch City but we play what we dealt, reppin' the H-Town

I'm sorry you ever had to live there. I hate Big Spring - with a passion.

By looking at the local ABC affiliates' website, Abilene is now famous for meth heads and child sex offenders.

why was rising added? WTF is that supposed to mean or add to story? I'm guessing someone is getting paid per word.


Because it is summer and when school starts back up they will be a Junior.
