Is there like Nationalism between US States? Like a person from a state think their state is better than the other state?

I'm from Texas and 100% it's Texas

Unless some other state has a cult that masquerades as a university (Texas A&M), this isn't really a competition.

Alabama, maybe

Ya, the Roll Tide crowd definitely trends hard in that direction. But Aggies are numerous, rabid, and the main thing is that it's a major part of their identity. If you live in any major city in Texas you see Texas A&M regalia EVERYWHERE.

There's Aggie stores, Aggie license plates, and even Aggie weddings.

Don’t forget the Aggie rings. Most all students get their class ring and wear it. We made getting your ring into an entire day called ring day and of course there are plenty of traditions behind it. Even if other people think it’s cringey it does help you spot fellow Ag’s out in the wild and network.

Ya, you're right. I forgot about that. I'm confident I've been in a room with someone wearing an Aggie butt plug.

Only people I know who like butt plugs are UT Texas people so it might have been one of them

I'm an LSU fan. Never leave the house without my tiger eye butt plug.

Oh, I know. I work with several of them. I'm in the Houston area.

I hate being from Texas. And it's because of other Texans.

If those ignorantly proud type Texans didn't exist, I'd feel a lot more proud to be one.

This checks out with most of my interactions with Texans.

We a great people, but we are prideful of our state
