Pretty massive move up for the Bobcats! That league is shaping up to be pretty damn good afternoon being left for dead. TV revenue may not be that sexy but competition among several solid programs will be very good.

Alumnus LBJ is trying to grab any woman near him in heaven right now assuming he didn't go down to the devil. I like seeing them improve but I don't want them to ever nip at our heels.

Southwest Texas State has huge potential.

Why the Pac-12 is adding Texas State, how it rebuilt and next steps in realignment
Texas State is expected to become the eighth football-playing school to join the rebuilt league.

Actually, it was in Jim Wells County. The infamous votes from Precinct 13. That sadly changed the course of American History for the worse.

Ehhh, like most presidents I think you could call it a mixed bag of for the better and for the worse.

Reputable biographers certainly treat Lyndon as "complex". Monumental changes in social policy, particularly his attempts to force the South (and several notable places north of the Mason-Dixon line) to end racial discrimination in voting. And a monumental foreign policy failure.
And FWIW, Lyndon's favorite college (and he didn't shout about it while he was active in political life, obviously for fear of alienating other college fan bases), was the University of Texas. He was pretty much ashamed of his Southwest Texas State Teachers College background, and faced some hostility from other Southwest Texas alumni for it. He was intimidated (as much as LBJ was ever intimidated by anyone) by "the Harvards", and later in life publicly blamed McNamara and other "Harvards" for the Vietnam mess.
Early in his Washington career, Lyndon enrolled in Georgetown University's law school, but soon decided that night law school took too much of his time.

I can't imagine any president, whether Republican or Democrat, who would've bungled America's involvement in Vietnam worse than LBJ did. And that's why I say that the rigged 1948 election that put him into the U. S. Senate and began his rise to national prominence changed America for the worse.

Lyndon did a bad job on Vietnam. But it’s impossible to know if anyone else could have done worse or better. Because no one will have an opportunity. Hindsight makes decisions a lot more obvious.
I ain’t excusing Lyndon— or Nixon/Kissinger— but I hope presidents after 1974 have better advisors and listen to them.

I hate like heck to derail the LBJ thread, but...
