Sounds like you all are pretty obsessed with yourselves.

Congrats on being the master of the universe. I believe we've found the answer to the age old question...the Sun actually revolves around Southlake, Texas.

Who knew? Apparently only the people in Southlake, because they're the only ones who care about their "perfect" little city.

OH-



























IO!

[WoodyHayes]

Southlake is nice but a little rich for my blood. I live down and over a few hills east going towards Shreveport. I just went to Wal-Mart to pick up my wife's prescription and I look up and see a guy,
1 - In some funky looking brown shorts that was almost up to his rear
2- Had a pair of knee high cowboy boots on
3- Had a blue t shirt with the words "Who's your Daddy"
I ran out to the car to get my camera (my wife would have never believed it)
Believe me when I tell you, I was not in Southlake.

[Chicago]

Are you sure it didn't say "Who's your SLCDaddy?"

Sheesh. You take offense easily.

RidgePride isn't from Southlake. He didn't write the article and neither did anybody else from Southlake.

Southlake is a terrific place because the people work hard. They have very strong families (generally speaking) and they get involved.

It would be less distastful if you would just say "congratulations, well done".

Perhaps you'd like this article in last week's Sports Illustrated.

I found the article very self-serving and boring and focused too much on a football team

if you are from dallas enjoy it

if you are from a real city in a real state, laugh at the self-serving article

Not completely irrelevant...but which schools do the grads go to the most often?

I know SLC has kids going to colleges nationwide. My daughter is going to a very good school in the west (which I won't mention). She has close friends going to Pepperdine, BYU and Purdue. Most people who live in Southlake are not native Texans so I'd guess that many kids go to schools connected with their parents but still a large number stay in Texas.

At the commencement they said 97% were going to college somewhere.

That might be why I've never seen anyone from Southlake...been in College Station for a bit over a year and have yet to meet one person/talk smack with.

[Bordertown]

Not completely irrelevant...but which schools do the grads go to the most often?

The State of Texas 10% rule forces many of the kids to go out of state or private schools. If Southlake has a graduating class of 500 kids, only 50 have automatic acceptance to Texas or A&M (although the many of the cream in the top 25% might get in). Many of these 50 kids are going elsewhere based on their grades and SAT/ACT scores. Quite honestly I do not see A&M as the university of choice for most of the SLC kids. That may be why you don't run into them in College Station.

[Chicago]

How does automatic acceptance work?

It sounds like it's actually automatic rejection for the other 450 kids the way you describe it.

Pretty much. Most do not like it at all and are trying to alter it. Here is a quote from a somewhiat recent article on the subject:

UT has sought limits for the past few years, arguing that too large a portion of its undergraduate enrollment is being determined by a single factor, squeezing out students with leadership skills, musical talent and other qualities who don't happen to rank high.

The university's fall 2006 freshman class had a larger portion, 71 percent, of students from Texas high schools admitted under the law than any previous class. That worked out to 66 percent of all UT freshmen. The automatic-admission law does not apply to students from other states.

UT is the only school among 35 public colleges and universities that sought relief from the 1997 law. But

how does winning high school football games make a city perfect???

this is hooveritis all over.

It doesn't. Southlake is an incredible place to live for all the right reasons. It's just icing on the cake to have a great football team. It's a very nice community uniter.

but as you said, the article was all about a high school football team

and the title said perfect city USA

sorry I dont equate a few years of high school football (let alone a 12 year streak like DLS) to be what makes a community good, much less perfect

the article and title dont match

and neither does your attempt to rectify the two

high school football does not make a city perfect

and never will

unless you live in texas i guess

and I pity that point of view

[SLCDad]

That might be why I've never seen anyone from Southlake...been in College Station for a bit over a year and have yet to meet one person/talk smack with.

Two years ago I was up at Grand Targhee National Park (on the Idaho side)at a baloon race. A guy honked and waved when he saw the SLC decal in my back window.

Same thing happened in a Sam's Club parking lot on vacation last summer although this guy wasn't from Southlake (Plano East) but he noticed the decal.

When you drive around in Southlake everybody seems to have the Dragon logo on their back window. http://media.pegasusnews.com/img/photos/2006/11/22/slcarrolllogo2.jpg

How does automatic acceptance work?

It sounds like it's actually automatic rejection for the other 450 kids the way you describe it.

Texas Legislature enacted a law maybe 10 years ago that said any student that graduated in the top 10 percent of their class could attend any public college in Texas. The intent was to be politically correct and increase the diversity in the universities by making acceptance easier for the top students from inner city and rural communities.

Great in concept, but it does not work in reality. A negative side note to the law is that excludes many of the top 10% of the brightest students from our top public academic institution - The University of Texas and the junior varsity university in College Station. I suspect the top 25% of the 2007 graduating class at SLC are in the top 10% of the state's brightest minds. Because of the law, they may be denied access to The University of Texas due to enrollment limitations.

The issue mentioned in the fall 2006 class was caused mainly due to the football team winning the national championship in one of the greatest games of all time. Everyone wanted to be part of a winner.

Why don't you check the city out yourself. I don't think a high school football team makes a city, but it sure does helps define how a city feels about itself. You feel good about DLS because of its football team. I doubt you became a "t-shirt fan" of the school until they started the streak.

I live 200 miles from SLC and admire how the city has developed and its community spirit. Is it a perfect city - no. Does it have more good things going for it than most communities - yes. Southlake is a community of driven successful families. Every fall that is evident on the football field. But don't worry the school is not one a one dimensional sport school in football. They won district in almost every sport.

WRONG

I moved from San Jose, the 11th largest city in the USA in 1985 to the SF East Bay (about 45 miles) for a new job

San Jose was home to mythical football state champions Bellarmine in 1981 and St. Francis in 1982 (Ok St. Francis is a few cities - maybe 10 miles north of San Jose). I saw both those teams play.

In 1985, right after I moved to Dublin, Bellarmine played some school I had never heard of = De La Salle a school within 15-17 miles of my new residence

Bellarmine was crushed 37-14

They continued to play Bellarmine and added State power St. Francis, basically beating these teams year in and year out

I was shocked and could not understand it, knowing the quality of those two CCS powers

I started being an admirer of DLS in 1985

that is well before the streak

I wish you would stop your continual WRONG assumptions

De La Salle has twice won the California Division 1 Basketball championship this decade

this against the best high school basketball teams in the country

there record in section championship and league championships I am sure measure quite nicely to SLC

"When you drive around in Southlake everybody seems to have the Dragon logo on their back window."

If you put them all there late one night it doesn't count.

I am not arguing about DLS being one dimensional, just showing you SLC is not a "football school".

It's no use arguing with Consumerman. He always takes a negative position. It's sad that he is now criticizing the city of Southlake and the human interest article published in D Magazine.

I've lived in Southlake for many years. It's an outstanding place to live for many reasons. It's very family oriented. It's successful. It is zoned very, very well. The school district provides the best education available in Texas (arguably). That is why we moved there. A great football team is just icing on the cake. The whole community is united behind not only the football team, but all of the stuff that the kids do. People are very proud to be a Dragon.

what i do criticize is poor fools who equate a high school football team with making a perfect city as this article does

and those put in the unenviable position of trying to defend it

[consumerman]

more from the article


And the people on that Southwest flight to Lubbock? The majority of them aren’t even parents of football players. They are parents of band kids and cheerleaders, flying 300 miles across the state to watch a game Southlake will win easily, because Southlake doesn’t lose

- bunch of front runners
- a team with a 48 game win streak?? doesnt lose?? let's see them break DLS record of 152 in a row. let's see if this team never loses/ those words will come back to haunt slc



The Dragons would go on to take state easily

- more fiction, they were lucky to escape with a win vs Trinity cause the Trinity coach CHOKED the game away with a bonehead fake punt call LEADING in the game with less than 2 minutes to play

- they didnt exactly win easily in the final, being behind at half and still tied in the 4th Q

it is amazing how these two lucky wins a few months later translate into "they won the state easily"

It took you three posts to express yourself. Can you not organize your thoughts? Put them in a logical sequence.

By the way, I pity the poor fools that follow high school football teams but don't actually attend the games. How can they even discuss things logically when they have no frame of reference to the modern game.

and I was responding to three different items

if I was you I would also try to change the focus

that article and the people trying to defend it is sickening

like the early poster said you all are too full of yourselves

over a freaking high school football team

pitiful

thanks bordertown for not responding

i blew away your ridiculous assumption

and you have nowhere to go with it

so i guess you just ignore things when your debates are smashed

nice

[consumerman]

I am starting to think (horror) that there is actually something worse than a Dallas Cowboy fan and we all know the excuse making, front-running, criminal element ignoring (notwithstanding SL dream resident Nate "white-powder" Newton), a Cowboy fan is THE WORST fan in all of sports


I think the SLC fan has actually equaled or moved past the Cowboy fan as the worst fan in all of sports

and the fluff perfect city article and those that back it are immediate proof

never thought I would see the day when there would be something worse than a Dallas Cowboy fan

could it be?

[Chicago]

"I am starting to think (horror)"

I'm not touching that.

Unless I just did.

[Bordertown]

Is that why the Cowboys are the #1 professional sports franchise in all of sports? I am not a Jerry Jones fan, but I am a proud Cowboy fan. What do they call the team? Oh yea, America's team.

Chicago - the Bears are my #2 team you will be happy to know.

And Consumerman, guess what - I am not a SLC fan. But I will defend them against haters such as yourself and your many ignorant comments due to your lack of knowledge. You would have more credibility if you actually attended high school football games rather than being an internet messageboard expert. There is nothing like experiencing a high school football game. It does not have to be a school like DLS, SLC, Hoover, Evangel (I will be remembering their snub this weekend), or St X. It can be a 6 man football game. Why you don't travel 15-17 miles to watch the team you love is beyond me. But keep reading articles, watching replays and reading books. There is nothing like being there live.

It is sad you have such a hatred for Texas. It must be eating you up inside.

america's team is a synonym for a bunch of wannabe losers with no life who attach themselves to a glitzy glammy media team and make themselves feel better

it is beyond doubt that cowboy fans are the WORST front runners, excuse makers and wannabes in all of sports

if their love of dallas is so great, why don't they follow the texas strangers or the smu cheaters or the mark cuban laughericks

dallas cowboy fans always have been

and always will be

the worst sports fans in the world

but slc fans and their lmao perfect city are close

[consumerman]

borderboy

you have had numerous chances to back up your claim that I only started following dls after their streak

why have you not responded??

because I ANSWERED WITH FACTS that you CAN'T REFUTE??

because this debate involves actual facts and not theories and off-the-wall accusations??


LAST CHOICE BOY

[consumerman]

Why you don't travel 15-17 miles to watch the team you love is beyond me. But keep reading articles, watching replays and reading books. There is nothing like being there live.

since you like to tell people how to live their lives.

why dont you give me your phone number and I will call you and ask you

- what clothes should I wear
- what meals should I eat
- what tv shows I should watch
- what radio shows I should listen to
- what type of gas to buy

and everythuing else in my life

ok?

only because you think you have the right to tell people how to live their lives


and I don't hate SLC or everything from Texas

I do despise front running "perfect city" fans, who as one poster so eloquently posted thinks the world revolves around south lake texas

I do hate the glitzy glammy criminal dallas cowboys and even more their excuse making front running wannabe fans

texas has the appeal of a sweaty pig

no natural landmarks

no mountains

lousy weather

and "i love myself" type of people

texas

you can have it

[SLCDad]

I don't think it's necessary to respond to Consumerman's posts. They speak for themselves but not in the way he intends them.

[Bordertown]

why dont you give me your phone number and I will call you and ask you

- what clothes should I wear

White golf shirt and pleated docker slacks with dark socks amd Sperry Topsiders. I suggest wearing a belt. Remember to dress for success. On Fridays wear green and silver on casual Friday's

- what meals should I eat

I recommend three square meals a day of average portions. Lets start with Total cereal in the morning, either grilled chicken or salmon with grilled vegetables at noon, and a salad in the evening. Just drink water from the tap from with your meals. Bottled water is way overrated and often comes from Texas municipal water supply systems.

- what tv shows I should watch

Travel channel - it will take you to many places.

- what radio shows I should listen to

I always recommend Sean Hannity

- what type of gas to buy

Willie Nelson's Bio Diesel

a high school football team DOES NOT define in a million years how a city feels about itself

if it does, I really can only laugh at my texas brethren

a fluff article on a football team does not equate to "perfect city" Even if Southlake did not have a great football team, it is still what I would call a top tier community. You drive in Southlake and you can tell people are proud of their community, not just the football team. But heck I like Texarkana also, because when I see it, I can speed up because home is not far away.

[SVILLEBIGRED]

Man, sounds like the perfect town.... I think I'll stick to good old Ohio. Places around here, like Steubenville, Bellaire, Martins Ferry.... or even Amsterdam, my hometown. Thanks for the put-down, but we're happy where we are. :)

Southlake is a lot like Stepford, except the wives drive SUVs. :D :D
