Dislike all 3. Hate all things Ohio. Thank goodness for a new coach and basketball. Kensucky does not matter in football. Well, we probably kept Ole Miss out of the playoff. There are too many teams in the 12 team playoff. I could have lived w 8. | |||

I guess you hate me then. Born and raised in Columbus, Ohio. My parents met at Ohio State, and both are alumni. I'm a double alumnus--undergrad and law school. All my brothers and most of my cousins are OSU alums. Lifelong Buckeye fan. I don't have anything against KY though. We went there sometimes for the good caving and accomodating women. | |||

I see you no longer live in Ohio. Thus, you are cool. There are two problems w Michigan. 1) Detroit is there. 2) Ohio is in the way. | |||

If Ohio had all the transplant hillbillies emptied out, the place would be one gaint ghost town. I can understand why Texans do not like the Longhorns. | |||
|
| One of Us |
Yeah, and half of them are Kentuckians looking for jobs. The other half from West Virginia. In Columbus, we used to tell West Virginian jokes. | |||
|
| One of Us |
So why don't Texans like the Longhorns? During the game, I saw a lot of Texas fans in the stands. Where are they all from, if not Texas? | |||
|
| One of Us |
In a word elitism. As to the Job part, that would have been true 30-40 years ago. I’ll let the Texas contingent provide details. Your jokes snout West Virginias is why we all hate Ohio. It gives great joy to say Ohio state. Note the, The, can go straddle a Billie goat. Just the way the world is. | |||
|
| One of Us |
I haven't heard a WV joke in 30-40 years. That's why KY hates OH? I didn't know KY has such kinship with WV. I thought it was because your football teams suck. Long-time Columbus natives don't say "The Ohio State." It's just "Ohio State," "OSU," or "State." | |||

The reason is when you lived in Ohio you made fun of those those from the South and Appalachia that made the labor force for your cities and businesses. You were no better than the West Virginias you joked about all those years ago. That is the attitude of a Buckeye Bastard. Oh, and the far left lane on the interstate. That is the fast lane. Either go on or get over in the far right lane and stay there. I knew an old man who was like great uncle to me from Northern Alabama who came to Ohio State for grad school. The professor took one look at him and told him to drop out the first week. Melvin took every class that jerk had. He got his As, graduated, and went on to Chair a department at Samford in Alabama. He took great pleasure in being a walking middle finger to Ohio State. I’ll tell you what I tell anyone else. You asked. I have answered. Another good one, You (Ohioans) are more than welcome to come form here, breath our air, but our earth from a willing seller, and marry our women. For the sake of our Christian Savior do not tell us how you did it in Ohio. | |||

Austin…not really a part of Texas.  Men from TAMU go to Austin for one thing…one of the same reasons you mentioned for going to KY.  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ J.

As a public university, U of Texas represents your state, not just in name. I don't understand why you don't support their team. Ohioans aren't so disloyal to their home state (except for a few traitors in the NW part of the state, who support the team from up north). | |||
|
| One of Us |
Traitors up NW that support the team up North. That is the spirt. I mean that in good jest. I like the fire. I have to respect the historical and current y success of OSU football. The Romanians football also respected Hannibal. I done said KY Football sucks a long time ago. Try to keep up, I know we are done down the road while the Ohioans are still merging. | |||

Texas and Texas A&M is a huge and strong rivalry. To a lesser degree TAMU and Texas Tech are too. The panhandle loves Texas Tech. The rest are divided along family allegiances to either TAMU or UT (tu if you are an Aggie). Then there are all the other University allegiances (SMU, TCU, Baylor, Rice etc etc). Texas is more like a country than a state. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ J. Lane Easter, DVM A born Texan has instilled in his system a mind-set of no retreat or no surrender.

i guess the joke is on us Texans -- The Ohio team beat a Texas team -- like, it guess, DL gloating?
we have 200+ total colleges in the State, roughly 120 public colleges, and, depending on how you count it, 10-12 world class colleges and schools within them - Texas University (that's TU, to aggies) is one of the larger schools, and as it is voluntary to attend, no TU team (or other school) represents anything other than the School then you have the "University Systems" -- There's several team sport powerhouses, though the athletes aren't generally anything like the typical graduate -- TAMU, UH, Rice, Baylor, UH, Tech, SMU, and TU all have fielded great teams from time to time - As Lane said, Austin is IN Texas, but sees itself as outside of Texas - It's called the Silicon Hills for now, but the city's motto is "Keep Austin Weird" - oh, and I agree with him on a valid reason to visit -- Though I kinda liked the A&M practical, corn feed girls too! I guess one needed to have played team sports to get it ... or just realize that Texas is blessed with more great schools and Athletes than the average -- opinions vary band of bubbas and STC hunting Club Information on Ammoguide about the416AR, 458AR, 470AR, 500AR What is an AR round?

Except it is not a country. It is a state. It has no more privileges than any other state. That would be a conversation for another day that has done been had. Dr. Easter’s position is simply legally incorrect, and we can never allow it to be true. | |||

Texas is still just a stste. It has no more privileges than another state. It is subject to federal supremacy. There are all kinds of things a state cannot not. Texas has all those limitations. | |||

| Moderator |
and yet, amongst equals, Texas literally has the highest privileges of the other 49 - that is reality - Texas IS different, it's just a fact - unique in "on-boarding" (an annexed Nation, not a territory process) and special privs .. it's just recognizing facts - oh, yeah, and we are Sovereign State, Not a commonwealth - but you do you, boo -- we can just disagree and talk about something that is subject to more opinion than the relevant facts -- it's worthless to try and edjumacte a convinced man with facts  we can just ignore that Texas is the highest in-migration state in the Union, a huge number of fortune X companies, and a vibrant mixed culture, which is why I consider myself a Tejano first - but I am from south and east Texas -- my cousins in North and West Texas aren't normally Tejano first, They are Texans first - opinions vary band of bubbas and STC hunting Club Information on Ammoguide about the416AR, 458AR, 470AR, 500AR What is an AR round?

Texas cannot enter treaties, Texas cannot defy the Dorman commerce clause, Texas cannot offer less due process then that established by the Federal Courts through the Incorporation Doctrine, Texas cannot endorse nor establish a state church nor pray, Texas cannot permit the hiring dnd firing of persons by public or private employers when the motivation is based on a federally restricted purpose, Texas cannot prevent consenting adults from marrying or engaging in relationships, Texas cannot violate the Supremacy Clause, Texas cannot tax the Federal Government, Texas cannot secede from the Union unilaterally, Texas cannot condition public housing based on a federally protected status. The list goes on. What your population gets you are more members in the Houde, and more EC delegates. You still get 2 Senators just like everyone else. Texas enjoys no more rights in our Union than any other state. If you do not like it, revolt. Let’s see how that population works out for you. This is one of those things there is no rational, legal debate. Everyone needs to read up on the Dormsnt Commerce Clause. | |||

i've presented facts where you are wrong - have repeatedly -- it's on you to get over it, or not - but when you, in your words, spew lies, i don't have to take it -- yes, Texas is subject to the majority of laws and conditions as the rest of the states, but NO OTHER states have Texas's privs.. not one .. you know how you get sticky over people ignoring facts they don't like? yeah.. that... opinions vary band of bubbas and STC hunting Club Information on Ammoguide about the416AR, 458AR, 470AR, 500AR What is an AR round?

The above law means I dm right. Texas can do no more than any other state. South Carolina can tell you I am right all the way back in the 1830s w the Nullification Crisis. Good luck w that revolt. Your GDP does not give Texas more rights as a state under the Constitution. The only reason you can fly a flag equal to the U.S. flag is that the Feds let you. Ot changes nothing w what Texas can do w regards to its relationship w the people, other states, or the Federal government. See all the things shove and more you legally cannot do. The U.S. Flag Code has no penalty. Thus, any state could fly the flag equal to the U.S. Flag. Now, if Congress were to pass an actual law, watch them flags Lower. Texas has its own flag code. Kentucky could do the same thing. That is completely a red herring of ignorance by you. Texans do have a leg up on the federal government in one area, however. The U.S. Capitol building is only 289 feet tall. The Capitol in Austin is 308 feet tall. | |||

Texans have an inordinate amount of pride in their state. Note that the two Texans making the biggest excuses about U of Texas not being everything in Texas are graduates of TAMU. Typical big university alumni issues. I find OSU’s graduates insisting on it being THE Ohio State University funny. But then for real hubris, nothing holds a candle in the US to the quiet arrogance of Harvard alumni. (Yes, my brother went there.) | |||

Or, it could have states an independent nation. It did not and is just a state. I wonder why it agreed to be annexed by the United States? Oh, I know, it was the most likely way to remain a stable entity. Maybe, a segment always planned to deliver Texas to the Union to booster the slave state representation. I mean it was the United States Government, army, not Texas that started the War in 1846. Texas was annexed in 1845. That war was coming anyway and the United States government was not going to stay out of it. If Texas wanted to be an independent nation. All they had to do was not join and keep Mexico at bay alone. | |||

All you had to do was not join or agree to be annexed. There is one way out. Might work this time. Until then enjoy your two Senators. Funny, I can’t remember the last time a Texan was Speaker of the House or Majority Leader? James Claude Wright Jr. as a Dem? LBJ Majority Leader? | |||
