Trust me, your Blue Bell may be special to you, but your "Texas is best" attitude is almost as bad as a SoCal parent believing softball doesn't exist outside of their region.
Growing up, I've consumed dairy products whether milk, ice cream, ice milk, etc. while the cows that provided the milk were in the next room. Y'all think you've got something special and it may be to you. Only thing is that we had the same thing in the Northeast 100 years before your region was even settled. :b

... this attitude is real and everywhere, but mostly couched in good humor ... you have to learn to take it in good humor, too ... you can ignore the occasional rednecks who actually believe it ... it is actually not much different from any other regional "we are better than you" stuff. As a non-native Minnesotan, it is pretty insufferable here, too.

Where are you anyway? We just don't call in Dallas or TX for that matter. Have games, will travel. Myself along with some others from our association have made the trip to N Little Rock, AR for the Busch Classic. We won't be making it this year since they changed the weekend and we have State tournament to call then. And besides, they are going Red shirt this year.

And, of course, this is always humorous, but my opinion isn't going to change. Glen, when are you in N.O.? I'll be there the first weekend in May for JazzFest.
