I did 79 a couple weeks ago, and hated it (preemptive). I travel down there every couple of weeks, and like the 21 route.

I make it from Ruston to Cotulla in 8.5 hours. I only make one stop for gas/food/piss though, and I have a heavy foot. It's the best route I've found, and I've been driving it every 2 weeks for a year now.
Wife likes the interstates so we do 35 to Wacko then over to Tyler. About seven hours to Shreveport.
Ruston to SA- 7.5hrs, I made that trip about 6 times a year for 5 years...
I-20 to 79 (Greenwood, LA)
79 to 315 (Carthage, TX)
315 to 259 (Mt. Enterprise, TX)
259 to 59 (Nacogdoches, TX)
59 to I-10 (Houston, TX)
I-10 to SA
It will be really nice to make some road games for change - UAB is only 1 hr away!
Not to mention the new doors to recruiting right here in our backyards. I was very "cool" to having UTSA in with us, but if SATX really gets behind them...and subsequently C-USA...we will have a new pipeline into south Texas that we never had.
Make no mistake. THIS THING IS HUGE for y'all and us.
On a different note I do hope you will grow to "be accused of liking LaTech" -- not sure where we derailed, but as conference mates, we need to bury and lose any old sun belt animosity stuff between our schools...hopefully we will soon be on the same "side" at least, if not the same division!
Handshake?
I'm surprised the Mississippi River will not divide the C-USA into two 6-team divisions.
