Umm, no . . . it's pretty much Houston that is obsessed with Dallas.
You being a case in point.
Hahahahahahahaha. Dallas starts it every freaking time. Then Houston finishes. Because we simply don't care, Dallas is just the little brother begging for attention desperately but we only say something to push it away. Case in point, Conan's song about Houston which was filled with "Yeah this is so TRUE!@#$%#@" by the Dallas Morning News, D Magazine, Observer, etc even though it was just playing to the crowd. That just reeks of insecurity.
I mean either way, there isn't really a single metric Dallas surpasses Houston in despite being #8 in smog to Houston's #7. Oh, and Super Bowl titles, I guess...too bad we scalped the Oilers because they underperformed so badly.
This isn't even a rivalry, it's kinda like UT/A&M. A&M wants to be acknowledged so bad and expresses vitriol at UT at every chance but UT is kinda just like..."I'll have fries with that please."
Why else would people be leaving Dallas city limits in droves? People are moving
into Houston.
I'll just stick to, as the Chronicle said, calling Dallasites our "beasts to the North." The only good thing about Dallas is that it's close to Fort Worth and Denton.
Straight from the DMN: "O’Brien has picked up what it means to be a true Dallasite: an inexplicable but nevertheless overwhelming hatred of Houston."
So you just hate Houston because it's Houston. That makes logical sense. I always find it amusing when people love Denton but say they hate Houston...Houston is pretty much Denton on a way larger scale LOL
