Listen to Jimmy about what? His opinion differs. Thatâs fine. This is a CR football thread where sports and politics intersect, so I shared my personal reflection on the two. I donât need to be right or to convince you of anything. I freely acknowledge that itâs not totally a rational stance, thus the lack of metrics, links, or maps to bolster my case. This issue is more gut level.
Furthermore, Iâm not patting myself on the back or claiming Texas is different. Iâm not sure where you get that. I was born a Texan but moved from Austin to the pacific NW nearly a decade ago, in large part due to dissatisfaction with Texas government.
Thereâs actually some sadness that I donât look forward to the start of college football season like I once did. Truth be told, Iâve been drifting from interest in big dollar sports for a while. Pro sports were first to go. There was a time Iâd be ruined for days by UT losses. Iâve grown to think that is a silly misapplication of my energy. The desire not to stand shoulder to shoulder with the Deep South every Saturday is just another brick in the wall.
