I just wonder how many years it will be in the SEC before the Horns start whining about revenue distribution, location of conference headquarters, media rights, or threatening to leave the conference. I give it five years, tops.

It'd be a great place to live if it weren't for all the damned Texans. You can't sling a dead cat in Texas without hitting one of the damned things. Its like its a natural breeding habitat for them or something....otherwise its a nice place.

Very little of Texas is actually in the south culturally...most is more akin to the mountain states or the southwest. Dallas is more culturally aligned with the Midwest (Detroit and Dallas are very similar culturally). Everything west of a line between Tyler and Houston is about as southern as southern Illinois....if the majority of folks in a region talk about BBQ and beef in the same breath you ain't in the south....

I was with you until the beef comment

You aren’t wrong. Stick a pin in downtown Austin and draw a 20 Mike circle around it… culturally San Francisco.
It’s the areas outside of Austin, Dallas, Houston that are a cultural Southern fit.

Dallas is a bigger, more uppity version of Kansas City. I completely agree that it feels like a midwestern city.

Trivia: Do you know why Texas hasn’t drifted off into the Gulf of Mexico?

Answer: Because Oklahoma sucks!
Fun Fact: Texas Football is 188-107-10 (63%) against Oklahoma, Texas A&M & Arkansas and has a winning record against all 3 rivals.

I give it a year or less. I’m sure they’ve already made demands. I’m also sure the horns down gesture is a 30 yard penalty

I actually like the outskirts of Waco…

Fun Fact #2: Texas Football has a winning record against every team that they played at least 14 times.

Throw out most of the 1900s and see if that changes

Included in that list will be 5 teams in the SEC once Texas joins.
Also of note.. when Texas joined the Big 12, Nebraska was the king of College Football.. similar to the run that Alabama and Georgia are currently on.. and Texas was about where Texas has been the last 10 years or so..
Texas went 10-4 against Nebraska
So while the horns may be down right now.. it is foolish to think that they will stay down.

That’s very Aggie of you. The point was that Texas has a winning recosd against teams that they routinely play.

These comments are bizarre. Having been born and raised and Dallas and lived in Chicago for nearly 15 years, I see almost no parallels between the people and culture.
Dallas has a unique cheese dickiness to it that would be offensive in the midwest. Everyone is on the hustle and the crowds are full of $30,000 a year millionaires driving cars they can't afford.
It is a town with almost no quality history other than JFK getting shot.
It is a much more evangelicals, conservative setting as compared to most midwestern cities. The politics are very different.
Dallas/North Texas has so much more of a pro-business growth mindset as compared to most every midwestern city. That is what I disliked the most about St. Louis/K.C./Chicago/Cincy . . . that permanent state of fading and decline that permeates most of those places. They all were bigger and better at some point long ago and no the world has moved on.
There is also a close-mindedness and system of segregation that has locked many of those cities down.
The Catholic folks lived in Wilmette, sent their kids to Loyola and then Notre Dame, and those kids went to work for the same law firms, joined the Union League club, and moved right back near their parents.
WASPS - Winnetka/Kenilworth, New Trier, Ivy League or Michigan, University Club
Jewish Families - Glencoe/Highland Park, Standard Club, etc etc
Wash rinse repeat generation after generation.
By comparison, Dallas folks basically tear down and gentrify constantly, are always upending things, and the rich folks think money first and religion or where they came from a distant second.
