Let's not forget Johnny Bush and Justin Trevino, Byron Nelson, Ben Hogan and Lee Trevino...I live in Nevada now, was born in California to a Texan mother. I lived there while attending UTA and have spent the last 5 years trying to convince my wife that we need to retire to Texas. No luck so far...
I was talking football to an Alabama boy the other day and he mentioned to me that folks in Alabama didn't consider Texas to be part of the South. I told him that he might want to explain that to the descendants of the Texas' Brigade members who saved Alabamans at Sharpsburg and who stormed Little Round Top with the Alabamans at Gettysburg. He thought about it for a moment and said, I had a helluva point...
Depends on where you're from. People in east Texas consider themselves to be part of the south 'cause that's where their ancestors came from.
Other areas associate themselves with the midwest or southwest.
