re: Texas A&M Fan Logic

putting aTm on on Texas' level of interest and support is a fallacy. I'm not even trying to troll either. But everyone knows the longhorns dominate that state in terms of fans and interest.

Here's some interesting polling data from 2013 (before JFF bolted and TCU/Baylor got all the national media love):

quote:

---

-Texas A&M has caught up to Texas for having the largest fan base in the state. 22% identify themselves as Aggie fans to 20% for Texas, 10% for Houston, 8% for Baylor, 5% for Texas Tech, 4% for TCU, 3% for UTEP, and 2% for SMU. When we asked this same question in September of 2011 Texas led Texas A&M 23/15 but that was pre-Johnny Manziel/Kevin Sumlin era and that seems to have changed the balance of power in the state a little bit. There's a big partisan divide on school loyalties with Republicans preferring A&M 35/16, but Democrats going for the Longhorns 26/13 with A&M actually in third behind Houston.
-Voters in the state have mixed feelings about Johnny Football with 26% of them rating him favorably to 23% with an unfavorable opinion. 50% don't have an opinion either way. The previous year's in state Heisman recipient, Robert Griffin III, has a much better favorability rating at 36/11. Asked which of the two they like better, Texans pick RGIII by a 28/23 margin.

I'm honestly surprised that Baylor got 8%.

That is amazing considering how awful they were not so long ago.

According the NY Times, Aggy hasn't really caught up to the Horns at all:
