Don't bash Texas, sir.
Texas is okay, excepting the way they took over and ruined the old Big Eight college football conference; they should've stayed in their place down south, leaving Oklahoma and us alone.
But if one's fated to have Texas, one wonders if a trade-off could be made, the Big Twelve taking in Arkansas, and Colorado being relegated to some Division XXIVaa college football conference. Arkansas belongs with us, not with where they're at.
However, we up here are deeply gratified that when Texas joins with Nebraska in voting for a Republican president, the two of us together provide that candidate with one-eighth of the electoral votes he needs, to win, which is no small thing.
