Apparently 1 out of 6 of the 27 million people who live in Texas are Texas A&M fans. impressive to say the least

- Wonder what the %'s are for Alabama?
- Arky likely is 95% Flagship fans
- UF is likely the lowest with sharing the state to many other major universities.

Interesting number. I know for sure that 1 in 6 people that can read English in Houston are.

Show me someone who tosses out a figure, and I'll show you someone talking out of their arse.

I'd put LSU at about 30%.
Some fans of other schools don't mind cheering for LSU. Some fans hate LSU.
Women probably don't give a crap about any team in LA, unless they are tagging along.
So, 30% fans, 50% don't care, 20% hate.

Yeah I highly doubt that is even remotely close to being true.

What year are we talking and what team is doing what? The tshirt fans in Texas switch around depending on what team is doing what. In 2005/2009, they were all Texas fans; last year a lot of them became Baylor fans; I figure this year a number have moved to A&M fans.
And that map is pretty spot on with maybe a little bit high % on hispanic A&M fans. I can guarantee pretty much one thing in this state: The hispanics will celebrate Cinco de Mayo, have their name in old english letter on the back of the family car and wear burnt orange. </it_aint_racist_if_its_true>

Great way of taking what I said out of context.
Actually my point was that if 1 in 6 people in Texas are A&M fans it would be as many as if 6 out of 6 fans in Louisiana were LSU fans. If you want an objective and scientific analysis of fanbase size here is the best I have seen to date:
New York Times Geography of College Football
Now this is based on 2010 data so Auburn is a bit inflated for instance but it's a pretty solid measure overall. The key though is A&M doesn't have to have the entire State of Texas love us in order to have a boatload of fans. This doesn't even consider that 1000 people a week are currently moving to Texas and one of the biggest problems A&M and Texas have is they are trying to hold the line at 50k students while the demand is much higher. I'm very concerned about my 2 sons' ability to get in down the road even though they are bright, my Dad went to A&M and my wife went to A&M. There are just a boatload of folks here in Texas and growing all the time and people will tend to support the schools in the states that they live. It's just a numbers game.

Don't know the numbers, but I can tell you that USC is the least popular school in California. Of the major universities, at least.

I have seen several polls showing A&M at just under 20%, which is 1 in 5, so yeah. He's probably right.

Tennessee - Around 90% UT fans

When Neyland Stadium is full, it holds 1.5% of the population of the state of Tennessee. In other words, one out of every 64 state residents is at the game.
