Ah, I see. I live in Ann Arbor, went to UMich, which has a similar sports rivalry with Ohio State U, which extends beyond sports back to territorial disputes when the states were founded. After a football game last week, a group of UMich students beat a pair of OSU fans, one nearly to death, just for wearing OSU shirts. It's sad people take things that seriously.
Hopefully you'll look past that level of tribalism...look at Austin objectively, and I can't imagine you won't see that it's a great town, with a great school.
