Everything is bigger in Texas, especially the high school football

ARLINGTON – Nothing encapsulates the phrase “everything is bigger in Texas” than four days at the UIL State football championships in Arlington at AT&T Stadium. From the giant inflatables that serve as the red carpet for the combatants, to the bands providing the soundtrack to the action, to the crowds representing 24 unique communities, this event serves as a reminder to the world of a simple universal truth: Texas high school football is king, baby. Go argue with your momma.

If an alien, let’s call him John, landed at the DFW Airport and was required to learn about the Lone Star State before returning home, take John to Jerry World. Just make sure to holler at Matt Wilson at the Arlington Sports Commission beforehand so he can assist the newest honorary Texan find a Texas tuxedo of cowboy boots, jeans, sports jacket, and cowboy hat.
