I normally root against Texas but was pulling hard for them this week. Nice win.
Well yeah, pro sports down there amounts to the Dallas Cowboys and a bunch of nobodies. When you have legendary franchises nearby like the Yankees, Red Sox, Giants, Bruins, Celtics, Rangers, and so on who run up to four or five generations-deep in families' rooting history, you pay attention. Can't imagine there's too many four-generation family histories with the Dallas Stars or OKC Thunder.My brother (UConn season ticket holder) was at the game today. His impression: unlike Northeastern fans who have divided loyalties (MLB, NFL, NBA, NHL, NCAA), Texas & OU fans are all-in for their schools. Pro sports to them is a mild diversion.
