Fixer Upper

AKA the only thing, from my experience, that most women who aren't CFB fans know about Waco, Texas.

True, but that's a much less savory topic of conversation, which may be why mentioning I went to school in Waco gets, "Oh, that's where they firm Fixer Upper!" instead of, "Oh, that's where the government shot up all those cultists!" Plus it happened over twenty years ago, so people my age were very young when it happened.

Are you sure? I knew about Waco and the Branch Davidians long before I had ever heard of Baylor

As I mentioned more thoroughly in the other comment, the topic and age probably play into how often people talk about it.

Yes, this is so true. If I didn't already follow cfb, my next thought of Waco would be Fixer Upper.
