I wouldn’t bother trying to defend the metroplex some are just inclined to hate everything Texas. As I have said in the past I’d consider going back, but I am not actively looking for jobs anywhere.
While we are stereotyping every single time I see someone in person who cracks on Texas like this, they are the spineless bespectacled metrosexual type. A guy who looks like he jogs but doesn’t deadlift. For once I want so see some roided up musclehead make fun of Texas culture, but it’s usually someone not terribly impressive — physically speaking.
I am just hoping TheBreeze is a woman because they are allowed to crack on the HS Football culture. In fact women are allowed to hate football as far as I am concerned. If it’s a man, then he is out of the club. Men are not allowed to crack on football at any level including Pop Warner.
I miss the football culture, I went to a local La Costa Canyon game, and couldn’t believe how lame the crowd was on the other side (RB). The RB crowd was so small it didn’t even seem all the parents made the trip. The halftime shows in Texas were great. I went to plenty of HS Football games in the H-E-B area, and when I lived in West Texas, traveled to Odessa Permian (conference rival) to watch the kids play under the “Friday Night Lights”. Great entertainment for me and my wife, but she is the type who wants to kick our boys in the butts to play a little football. I could see the urban brie types not enjoying it, but there are plenty of cultural things to do. We went to Phantom at a nice facility in Ft. Worth, where I was embarrased to find everyone where suits (didn’t believe my wife). I remember watching (I followed Abilene) this year’s super bowl champ (Dominic Rhodes) losing to Drew Brees, in the state finals at Texas Stadium.
Incidentally I think Football tailbacks are the greatest athletes in sport. Size, grace, hip mobility, strength, speed, vertical leap, agility, vision.
