You'd give a shite if those representatives were the ones giving you $$$ to be able to host your little tournament, and said representatives hailed from all over the Metroplex and don't want one portion of the clientele being represented on the sport's biggest stage.

That matters way more than giving a frick about how it sounds.

I really try hard not to be condescending since I have a degree from studying this business shite, but damn, is this really that difficult for folks to grasp?

I'm just surprised how strictly announcers and the like adhere to it. It was the same during the Super Bowl. Those Metroplexual committees do a solid job of enforcing it apparently

The actual host city.......Arlen'.......Arlington.........has made a concerted effort to differentiate themselves from Dallas and Ft Worth.....god love 'em. They want to pretend that the final 4 and Jerry love them and not Dallas.......OK......Arlen is beautiful.......evbody loves Arlen.......just play along.........nobody gives a shite but it's important to Arlen. They paid a lot of money to Jerry and the PR people.

Who says I'm going to North Texas when they're going to DFW?

The panhandle is farther north than your precious "North Texas".

Yeah I'm not sure what that was about the more common term is really DFW but I guess that's too slang to use. North Texas is still a common term for the area.

also, the university of north texas is 40 minutes north of Dallas.

you're arguing against defined regions of the state. you're out of your element

north texas - DFW
central texas - Austin
east texas - waskom/houston
south texas - SA
panhandle - Amarillo

Except everyone calls it the panhandle, not north texas. Houston and Dallas are technically in the eastern half of Texas, but they aren't in "East Texas". This isn't that hard

He's right. In Texas, it's known as North Texas.
