which I think is technically considered *central* Texas, but not the hillcountry?
i have nothing new to add here, except to say that yes, college station isn't the hill country. in fact, i'd say it's more east texas than central texas. but i'm an austinite, born and raised, so to me east texas is essentially anything east of austin - bryan/college station, navasota, huntsivlle, madonsoville, conroe, nacogdoches, etc. east texas is what you see on hwy 183 btwn austin and houston, and I-45 btwn houston and dallas. and yes, muchly with the pines. it's not flat like dallas but i don't know that i'd call it hilly...but, again, i'm from austin and those are some hills.
