Oh, just joking a little. As I was growing up, since Texas was the biggest state (this was before Alaska's statehood), Texans were apt to say that "everything" is bigger in Texas.
It was a slight blow to a few Texas egos when Alaska became the biggest state -- especially by such a huge margin.
Truth is that I don't really know if Alaska is twice as big, but I think the line is funny all the same.
Of course you're correct about home states, but I think many people feel a home state pride and can get put off by negative comments about their homes.
That's why I pointed out that I don't really have anything against Texas -- I just don't find it to be Utopia. It has good and bad points just like anywhere else.
