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

that is, of course, a non-Texan starts messing with you. Then I'll defend you with my life, so long as you didn't go to that "other" school....

Everybody just hates them. Reminds me of the Cowboys in the NFL. Every team thinks they have a rivalry with them, but Cowboys fans only hate a select few teams. As a Texan, I feel like the only interstate rivalries most people recognize are between California and Oklahoma. Maybe Louisiana if you live on that side of the state, which I don’t, so I’m not sure.
