Happy Birthday to Texas

How do you know you’ve met a Texan?!…because they always let you know they’re from Texas!

1910

The NCAA was founded! 

In the early 1900s, college football was a brutal game. Many schools wanted football to be abolished from intercollegiate athletics

In early December 1905, the Intercollegiate Athletic Association of the United States (IAAUS) was founded by 62 members

Then, on December 29, 1910, it changed its name to the National Collegiate Athletic Association – NCAA

If it weren’t for the National Collegiate Athletic Association, there would be no college bowl games, no March Madness, nor any college sports, for that matter 

1991

Garth Brooks was at #1 on the US country chart with his third studio album, Ropin’ the Wind. 

The album replaced his previous album No Fences at the #1 postion 

2009

Lady Antebellum was #1 on the US Country charts with “Need You Now”.

It won four Grammy Awards in 2011, including Song of the Year and Record of the Year
