People Share Their Views on Texas and Its As Wild as the Wild West

In the grand scheme of states, Texas often acts like the high school quarterback who never forgot his glory days. Our observer, a self-professed fan of Texas, can’t help but notice that Texans, much like their beloved state, tend to carry themselves with a gravity usually reserved for discussing world peace, not state pride.

This unyielding enthusiasm, while endearing to some, strikes others as taking the Lone Star State a tad too seriously. The comedy here isn’t just in the zealousness of their pitch but in the irony that the very intensity meant to attract can sometimes overwhelm.
