I have a major problem with that map. The locations are Kilgore, Abilene, Houston, Austin, and San Antonio.

Kilgore and Abilene's Mustangs are placed about right, but the three other Mustangs are completely wrong.

The Austin one is in Pleasanton, the San Antonio one is in Freer, and the Houston one is in Corpus Christi.

If I didn't wholeheartedly believe that this were just an honest mistake made by a graphic designer who lacked a map of the state, I'd say that this were a strategy to make it appear like the tour didn't ignore South Texas when in fact it does.

Whatever the case, the map needs to be fixed.

This is indicative of quite a few "oversights" and "inadequacies" in the football/athletic department office staff. I think it is rooted in budget cuts - must've given the proofreader the ol' heave-ho. I'm sure they are stretched pretty thin.

South Texans have a bigger inferiority complex than do Panhandlers :wink:

San Antonio actually looks closer to Benavides.
