Let's have a little fun!

Being lucky enough to live in East and West Texas in my life, I have observed a few similarities, and a few differences.

Here's a little taste of my running list:

West Texas has dust/East Texas...red dirt
West Texas...Mesquite trees/East Texas...Pine trees
West Texas...oil wells/East Texas...natural gas wells
West Texas...stock tanks/East Texas...ponds
West Texas...cattle ranches/East Texas...chicken farms
West Texas...town every 50 miles/East Texas...every 10 miles
West Texas...fire wood/East Texas...pulp wood
West Texas...Walmart/East Texas...Walmart
West Texas...14 point bucks/East Texas 11 point bucks
West Texas...dove and phesants/East Texas squirrels and racoons
.....actually squirrels and racoons....West Texas...road kill/East Texas...dinner

West Texas...Town & Country and Allsups/East Texas...Kidd Jones and Polks
West Texas...Concrete Slab/East Texas...Peir and Beam
West Texas...multiple RV sales lots/East Texas...multiple trailer home sales lots
West Texas...HEB Grocery Store/East Texas...Brookshire Bros.
West Texas..."heart"/East Texas..."speed"
West Texas...Tombstone/East Texas...Deliverance
West Texas...Football is king/East Texas...Football is king

Those of you that have experienced both, what have I missed?

this is gonna be fun  ;D
[/quote] NOW On too Football  ::::  I think the biggest differance in West Texas and East Texas is not so much the speed but the number of talented atheletes.They reload in East Texas and it takes a special class at West Texas schools.At the state game last year the speed of Carthage did shock Graham the first half,but as the Game went on dicapline and better fundamental play showed for Graham.Carthage and Graham lost about the same amount and look where they are and where Graham is.Next year it whouldnt surprise me for B-Wood not to make the playoffs and Carthage to be right back in it till the end.

Having coached in both EAST and WEST Texas, I would say that on a week to week basis, West Texas teams are better.  East Texas teams may have the best individual team most years, but they also don't have to buck up and play in a war every week.  Just my opinion.

Forgot about the Jack Rabbits,and Horny Toads, (and way back then) the evaporative A/C's.  Don't know if that was the norm for East Texas but still see some when I make it back home.

Evaporative A/C in E. TX--no way.  We pump the water OUT of the air here, and it's still humid.
