This is not about superior, this is about DFW posters making hate threads against the Texans because the Texans are doing well. If that is not jealousy I dunno what is

I'll clear some of that up with the good, bad, and in betweens in the 6 largest cities in Texas.

Houston
Good: The city has everything any city could want. Close to the beach. Big beautiful skyline, Rice University, great place for starting a music carrer, great for hosting major sporting events .
Bad: Traffic is terrible, Floods, mosquitoes, hurricaines, smog and gangs (imagine Los Angeles with no mountains and people with Texas accents... you get Houston).
In between: good place for rap music, its proximity to the nastiest looking beach in the world, oil-lots and lots of oil.

San Antonio
Good: strong Latin culture,very festive city, the Alamo and its fame, the river walk, great place to hold sporting events
Bad: big city but dosen't feel as...let's say..."advanced" as Houston or Dallas
In between: none, really. Although some say thier highway system isn't that good and their skyscrapers are smaller than ours (Ft. Worth).

Dallas
Good: Great place for business, along with Ft. Worth and Arlington makes one of the best sports areas in America and has one of the biggest busiest airports on earth , beautiful and recognizable skyline, glamourous city with plenty of shops, and is a very artsy cultural city.
Bad: City leadership spends more time arguing instead of fixing the city, Mayor Laura Miller, crime, more bad neighborhoods than good, city dosen't feel as friendly as other Texas cities, bad traffic.
In between: the Cowboys, most of the Dallas movie won't be fillmed there (that sucks).

Austin
Good: artsy city, great college town (Hook 'em!!!), one of the safest cities in America.
Bad: none that I really know of
In between: no Pro sports (but apparently that's o.k.). Oh, wait, they have that Arena Football team (really,who cares?).

Fort Worth
Good: Friendly down home atmosphere, one of the safest cities in America, cleaner than Dallas, plenty of land and not over crowded, in a great sports area, Downtown's Sundance Square, the Armed Forces Bowl, great mayor, great police force, and great city leadership.
Bad: the most over shadowed city in the country, small underdeveloped skyline, for those who don't like the small town feel-this city isn't for you.
In between: Texas Motor Speedway (it's not the track itself, it's the the traffic), big city that doesn't feel very big, they film Cops here so much, their might as well be a spin-off called "Funkytown Cops" or "F.W. Law"

El Paso
Good: uh....uhmm.... people don't complain about the city much, and... it's got a great mountain setting and...I'm sure it's a great place to live
Bad: well....the city is like 600 miles away from the other major cities in Texas and... ok, I really don't know much about El Paso, but the city is so far away from the rest of us it feels like E.P. is in New Mexico or something. Sorry El Paso forumers. I'm sure you could get in on this.
In between: ??????????????????

Well, their you go.

LOL @ the Cowboys. They have the most delusional fans on Earth. I like the Cowboys but can't stand their fans.

It's about to be a Texans decade though. They have the better ownership and better vision. I think the Cowboys will always have a larger fanbase because of their history but that advantage will shrink real quick if the Texans start having sustained success.

With that being said, I don't see any advantage in having bandwagon fans.

I'M not the one talking about which is superior. I was responding to a Texan fan saying how much "superior" the Texans are over the Cowboys.

Even you can't say that.

While I can agree our fans can be delusional, the Cowboys arent close to being the most delusional fanbase in the NFL, much less the world. Not when the Redskins exist. Texas fans are showing they can pretty obnoxious a little bit lately. Who is to say this can't be a Cowboys decade. Were younger, more athletic, and faster at all positions. Oline is getting younger, secondary will be fixed in the next year or so.

Problem is, you have a quarterback with the skill of Trent Dilfer who people overestimate just because he wears the star. Heck, Romo probably isn't even as good as Dilfer.
