-It is second nature to go 'guns up' at every photo opp..including your wedding portrait, and your grandmothers funeral reception (can't help it).

- Your ropers have permanent indentations on each side....meaning you always had 4 flasks.

 -You would have to have a dermatologist look at your rash if Burnt orange ever touched your skin

-You have taught your kids to watch out for any car with an ATM sticker, because the probably don't know what the hell they're doing

-Even 20 years later, it seems weird to not have to drive 25 minutes to pick up beer

-Before taking grief from any UT fan, you ask when they went to school there (weeding through the 90% of Wal Mart fans).

-You've told friends, I wouldn't mind moving back to Lubbock....

-You are amazed at how kind West Texans are.....they don't laugh at people asking for directions in a town that is alphabetically and numerically arranged

-You think that anyone who considers a 5 hour road trip is too long is a wussy

-2 PM on Friday gets you Jonesing for beers and BS with friends
