Kentucker:
You say that you "can't imagine how [my] mind must work." You are probably correct. That would require intelligence.
Do they sell dictionaries in Kentucky? Or can you simply not read them?
I will try to keep this simple and to minimize the use of polysyllabic words.
Webster defines "hillbilly" as "a person who lives in the country far away from cities ..."
Texas has four of the eleven-largest cities in the country. We are an urban State, plain and simple. By definition, this is polar-opposite of "hillbilly."
If we limit discussion to College Station itself, the city is located about 60 miles from Houston's suburbs. We are connected by a four-lane, limited-access highway and can be there in an hour.
By contrast, St. Louis (Missouri's largest city) is 58th largest in the nation. The entire State has fewer people than Dallas-Fort Worth. Hence, my conception that Missouri is more rural (hillbilly).
Since Missouri is "fer, fer off" from you and probably beyond your horizon of understanding, I will personalize. Kentucky's best effort is Louisville -- appearing at an impressive 27th the country. Next-best is Lexington, at 62nd.
Again, Texas has three metropolitan areas that EACH have a larger population than your entire State. Again, "hillbilly."
Was that too complex for you to understand?

Post less. There are a lot of good Ag posters here. You aren't one of them.

While I understand your rational, you came across as a douchebag. The typical "everything is bigger in Texas" arrogance, but I do understand what you were trying to say, just should of said it in a more subtle way.

KC is the largest city in Mo. but if you look at metro area you will find that St, louis is larger than Austin and San Antonio
