1. Diversity of terrain. Oklahoma and Texas have the most diverse landscapes in the US.
2. Seasonal humidity. We get the 80+ degree dew points just like you scrubs as we are also gulf states or like Tennessee border gulf states but our winds shift occasionally and we get dry air sometimes.
3. More sunshine. Our trees fade at about the okc/ftworth lines. Less woody weeds to impede the sun. More streamlined. More of that golden sunshine.
4. Same gravy induced obesity problems but mixed with better Mexican food.
5. The south bleeding into the west creates the best region in America. Sorry about the rest of you.

Dallas and OCK are two of the most generic cities in the country. Very little character and the terrain around there is as dull as the food variety of the area is as boring as the terrain. Atlanta is a twin to Dallas but at least GA has the mountains of North Georgia and the coastal region. OK doesn't have either and TX has the slums of the Gulf Coast as beaches.

I’ve never been to Oklahoma and don’t plan on ever going. Hope this helps.

Oklahoma is America's butthole.

Stop trying to glom onto the great state of TX like a tick on a dog's balls.

Things I have literally never heard anyone say #127: "You know what's a really pretty state? Oklahoma."

What you say may be true. I really can't say nor dispute. I do know that as a kid, on the third Saturday in October every other year, the Bama vs UT game was and still is played in Knoxville. From my hometown on my Dad's boat, we would travel the Tennessee river to Knoxville to go watch the game. The fall colors reflecting in the river make the scenery of East Tennessee in the fall second to none.

I have been to every state in the continental US except for Washington State.

I can say with great confidence that OK is a top 5 state in terms of shitty landscape.

And that fuqing wind…OMG.

My in laws live in Oklahoma, it's basically everything bad about the South (poverty, low education, heat) with none of the good things (hospitality and food) packaged up in a state full of weed dispensaries and toll roads.

I imagine New Orleans and Baton Rouge alone have better tasting food than Texas or Ok.

I thought Alabama was the second most scenically diverse state in the union behind California?

Not really, no.

Outside of southeast Texas, your trees are considered shrubs by the rest of the world.

Every Mexican restaurant in every small town in Oklahoma serves velveeta queso.

The West is nice. The South is Nice. Everything west of I-35 in Texas and Oklahoma is neither West nor South.

So, you really, really, really think your southern plains are nicer looking than the rest of the South?

I've been all over your "southern plains" and, trust me, when God did ugly He did the....southern plains!

Georgia alone is more beautiful than anything you have in Oklahoma or Texas, all four seasons of the year, from the mountains to the ocean!


NORTH GEORGIA IN THE FALL


NORTH GEORGIA IN THE SUMMER


NORTH GEORGIA IN THE SPRING


NORTH GEORGIA IN THE WINTER


GEORGIA'S CUMBERLAND ISLAND





MY GEORGIA HOME!

Texas and OU have the same number of CFP playoff wins.

You didn't even mention what I consider to be the best part. Higher speed limits so I spend less time in them when driving through.
