Another advantage to attract people to Texas, a suburb like Mission Viejo in California its Texas verision the housing would ranged from 200,000 to up to 500,000 cheaper for a house.

Well, Texas benefited because they had stricter loaning laws than California, Florida and Nevada and Arizona so no housing bubble. Also, it has benefited a lot from energy wealth like states like North Dakota as well. The disadvantage is South Texas is one of the poorest regions since its rural and next to Mexcio and California also has the same problem in regard to its Central Valley which is rural as well.

Bultman is an incredible coach – in the purest sense. He takes swimmers, some already fast, some not so fast, and gets them much faster. He seems to be capable with distance, sprint, and all the strokes. The only thing missing for A&M is slightly better recruiting. Some of these girls choosing other schools with a bigger name really should take a harder look at A&M. Maybe A&M needs to do a better job selling the university.

Saw Steve and sat next to Todd Schmitz at the Golden Goggles last Mon. And had the same comment to both. I said the same thing to both of them about how when a couple of months ago when asked where I thought Missy Franklin or some others should go to college. My answer was always” Wester Kentucky or Texas A & M “.
Steve and others have also done outstanding accomplishments. Swimmers who make real improvements in college. I understand the desire to be on a champion team or potential of it. But some of the others going to the usual school think they will have the magic wand pass over them. Many swimmers don’t really have an… Read more »
