Do'h! I'll be sure to tell my employer UT Southwestern that they need to change the name ASAP! But seriously, what you've said makes perfect sense geographically. I think the one thing you might be missing is that Texans have never considered themselves Southerners. The Texas culture and much of our uniqueness as a State is founded on the ranching culture of the 19th century and our former independence from "back east". From that perspective, many Texans do consider themselves Westerners as Texas was once the Western fronteer. You won't see any tables, graphs, or anything like that from me. This is all just my opinion, but it is why I suppose some people take offense to being lumped in with the southeast. Also, could you tone down the personal attacks? Yes, I know you took someone's statements personally, but this is too small an issue for us Texans to be fighting each other over. Can't we all just get along?

I think many of us DO think of ourselves as southerners, but the thing is we tend to think of ourselves as Texans first! I think you might encounter different attitudes in west Texas, where folks might be more likely to identify themselves with the plains in the north and with the southwest as you get farther south. Of course, I could just feel this way because prior to generations of Texans, my ancestors were generations of southerners! That opinion babbled about, I'd rather have Texas grouped with some surrounding states, like Louisiana, Arkansas, Oklahoma, and New Mexico. It would suit my needs better.

Eoghan Posted March 18, 2002 Share Posted March 18, 2002 quote:Originally posted by Walkin Stick:1.) What the heck is a T-SIP???? "t-sip" is a derogatory term used by Texas A&M students or "former Students" for students or "exes" of The University of Texas. It's lower case to show disrespect. They also call the school "tu" instead of "UT" for the same reason. I guess it's supposed to be funny or cute or inflamatory, but not being an Aggie I don't really get it. It also goes back to the days when UT was viewed as the school for the more 'elite/elitist' Texans, who were mocked for being high-brow tea-sippers. Many Longhorns feel sorry for the amount of effort true Aggies put into deriding them and just wished they'd admit it comes from an inferiority complex about the school's origins as an agricultural and mechanical college. (Something it's grown out of long ago.) An Aggie's desire to taunt a "t-sip" goes well beyond any amount of school or team spirit. But, as any Aggie will admit, 'you can't explain it to anyone who isn't an Aggie, and if you're an Aggie you don't need it explained'.

I spent the first 18 years of my life in the Texas panhandle and I have to say that that part of the state has a lot more in common with New Mexico and Arizona (or Oklahoma and Kansas) than with Louisiana or Georgia. Someone from Beaumont might have a problem seeing that connection. Texas has several different regions. Where we group it is a matter of convenience. Hawaii hardly fits in the "West and Southwest" group based on a "geographic similarity" argument either, but there it is. The major population centers are more southeasterly so maybe the current grouping makes a little more sense. Quote Link to comment

I grew up in Atlanta, and DFW & Atlanta are at roughly the same latitude, so I still consider myself a southerner. Southwest? Sure, I can buy that, especially with west Texas. South central?

+feedle Posted March 18, 2002 Share Posted March 18, 2002 It's funny. Texans never bother to ask those of us in the _REAL_ Southwest (AZ, NM) whether or not we want them involved in our party. If the terrain of where you're currently standing looks like the backdrop of a Roadrunner cartoon (mesas and small rocky mountains, saguaro cacti, yucca and joshua trees, lonely two-lane highways with no traffic), you're probably in the Southwest.
