Texas and Louisiana have always had a strong rivalry with each other because both have about the richest histories in this nation west of the Mississippi and practically equal each other. Here are a few examples:

  1. Texas was founded by the Spanish; Louisiana was founded by the French.
  2. Texas' official state language is Spanish; Louisiana's is French.
  3. Texas has Mariachi Music; Louisiana has Jazz and Zydeco.
  4. Texas has the Alamo; Louisiana has the French Quarters.
  5. Texans fought the Battle of the Alamo; Louisianans fought the Battle of New Orleans.
  6. Texas has the Astrodome; Louisiana has the Superdome.
  7. Texas has the beef; Louisiana has the crawfish.
  8. Texas has the desert; Louisiana has the swamps.
  9. Texas was the Lone Star Republic; Louisiana had the Louisiana Territory.
  10. Texas has the Rio Grande; Louisiana has the mighty Mississippi.
  11. And lastly...Texas has Selena Q., and Louisiana has everyone else!!
