Yeah, like Longhorn football.

Or still gets a rise out of people! LOL! That's okay...I went through a period back then, more like 2 years ago, when I would post for reaction.
I think I'd have an easier time starting a new post than souraging up old posts to repost on here though....I'm laughing at myself getting engaged on here after I see all these people have posted a year back, but sounds like you have them stirring again...sit back and enjoy..you might get another 30-40 posts out of the reposting this time, as Austin's economy is a little worse than last years!...was a good post, so worth reposting after a year again...give it another slice at life next year as well, sort ao an annual tradition..should have enough legs till at least 2017!

It's very true. I have a degree and i can't get a job as a waiter. I have 8 years of sales experience and i can't get a job in sales. The job market here SUCKS! I moved here on the promise of a job which didn't materialize when I got here now i'm stuck in a lease with no job and no prospects of finding a job.
