I know that road well. I lived their my middle school years. I was a Northwest Texan until we became the Pike Panthers when I was in 8th grade. My daddy still lives in the area.

Surprisingly, the worst cell phone reception of any courthouse where I've had a case. Halfway between Bowie and Nocona, the cell coverage here just sucks.dabo man said:

However, my wife's cousins were quick to proclaim they graduated from Texas A&M after the name change. My wife reminds them they are javelinas not Aggies.
I worked ten years in Kingsville and can attest that Texas A&I will make a name come back if the school ever gets funding independent of an A&M/UT source.
I almost died on the highway shown above that goes into the campus.
Was traveling back from a chess tournament in San Antonio, riding in the front seat of a car driven by Dr Lou Thurston (math prof) when I saw a carload of crazy kids was going to run the stop light at high speed. I yelled STOP and he barely did - our bumper actually scraped their car as it roared past going out of town.

Mmmm, King's Inn. Shrimp, oysters and onion rings. One of the best meals in the state.
Used to get the fried flounder - that is a very mild, good fish unless it has been frozen in which case it quickly turns mushy. Thier's was right out of Baffin Bay.

I came over to see if it's baseball season yet.
Close!
You can have a little taste in about a month on October 4.

I wish they'd stream fall ball. I'd be happy if they just turned on the camera in front of the press box. Ambient ballpark sounds are good enough for audio.
Me too with this new plan of scheduling it right before a home game. I've got a previously scheduled event for every Friday night before home games.
