re: Florida vs Texas vs Missouri

East Texas is, or at least used to be.

Also there are parts of Florida which are as Southern as anywhere in the South.

Well Texas isn't the south. Texas is Texas. So there is your answer.

If Texas is Texas, then that's what's wrong with y'all.

Texas is southern...one of the 11 states of the Confederacy, voted for and had slavery, and fought with the South in the Civil War.

Only the western half of Texas isn't southern--it's southwestern. I know...my family's from Texas along with many relatives and that's what's wrong with my family. :)

Kidding...I love the state of Texas...I just can't stand the University of Texas, a football program that had only 2 seasons of winning 10 games in a year until Darrell Royal showed up in the early 1960's and had never won anything until Royal showed up, yet they act and speak like they've owned college football ever since it was started. They're almost like Florida...newbie tradition and new to winning.
