"Texas is a state of mind. Texas is an obsession. Above all, Texas is a nation in every sense of the word. And there’s an opening convey of generalities. A Texan outside of Texas is a foreigner... Sectional football games have the glory and the despair of war, and when a Texas team takes the field against a foreign state, it is an army with banners."
