You know Texags had pieces of flair they make the non-graduates wear.

What if I told you... I attended classes at UT one fewer semesters than Kevin Durant?

I'd be more curious to know how many have had a mid-life crisis, and pondered  the idea of taking a semester or two at Texas State, just to hang around the coeds.

Do you need a roommate?

I did it bigger than that.

Does dropping out midway through my first semester at UT Dallas count?

csb - back when I worked for an IBM business partner, there was an IBM'er that everyone said was gonna be the next CEO of IBM.  Young guy but not too young, looks good in a suit (NTTAWWT), tall, well spoken, typically gregarious.  Sales guy of course. We're at a company golf outing and he's there and I see that he has Longhorn headcovers.  So of course, I go over, tell him I'm a Longhorn too, ask him when he was there, if he'd been back to Austin lately, all that stuff you do when you see a fellow Horn.  He basically gives me the silent treatment, mumbles a couple of responses.  I think, whatever dick, you think you're better than me, piss off.  FF a couple weeks he comes across my LinkedIn feed and his degree is from UT-D.

I visited Austin once for a night when driving down to Padre for spring break in 2003. It was a good time and the campus was beautiful. 

Other than being a fairly reliable football win for K-State, that's the only tie I have to UT.

I got a parking permit this year.  Is that anything?  Of course there’s no cars on campus so may not be as cool as i thought.

I have one.

Do I know where it is?  Nope.  Not sure I ever took it out of the envelope and I've moved 5 times since I got it.

There’s a good chance after five moves, it may have expired.  But take solace in the fact that you could still get library checkout privileges.  But you gotta really know somebody to have access to the periodicals.

Got my degree in 3 years and got out before I turned 21.  Why? Because I'm a fucking idiot. 

Ya big dummy.

I, on the other hand, went to law school, which almost ruined it all for me.  I sometimes wonder if an engineering graduate degree would have been a better move.  Only a year or two and no law students.

I’d have gone to law school there if not for the baseball team. Long story again related to me being a dumbass. At least I didn’t miss the national title I was convinced was gonna happen in 2001.

Couple degrees -five years, 2 summers. Shoulda spaced that out a couple of more years, especially knowing how fucking cheap it was in the early 90's. Fucked up by listening to responsible people who encouraged "graduation" and "getting a job". Fuck you parents.

I didn't, was too big of a screw up, but I'm proud to say that I paid for two degrees for my beautiful, bleed burnt orange daughters.  If nothing else in this life, I can say I raised them right.

That is actually quite humorous, the degree from Baylor.  I wonder how many of those 50 have been rescinded.  

Fun bar trivia---no institution in the UT System gives out honorary degrees.  But that doesn't mean none of them ever did.  For a ride in a slightly used Corvette and a decent handjob---who can tell us the last honorary degree granted by a UT System university?  (hint, the school was not a part of UT System at the time)

I’ve been meaning to talk to you about that.  You should probably lay low for awhile.

I have a degree from UT.  I don't know about anyone else, but I'm pretty embarrassed that one of the worst posters on this site (I'm looking at you OP) has one too.

I was such a mess coming out of high school that my family had to money whip Baylor into taking me. I don't remember if I applied to Texas.

It use to be known as a “Hunting” permit not parking.
