I'd say there's a better chance that 1 out of 6 people in Texas are Hispanic, therefore no way in frick are A&M fans or could've attended A&M.
Actually, almost 40% of Texas is of Hispanic decent, according to the last census. Texas is a majority minority state.

Texas would be fricking awesome if not for that.

he map is interesting, but I don't buy it. Look at Alabama. No way Bama fans outnumber AU fans by that much.
It is that much... (58 to 26 or 2 to 1), have seen other studies that also validate the 2-1 difference. Now with the younger crowd, the percentages are much closer although Chizik is doing all he can to reverse that trend.

I really think that since so many people send their kids to both schools, or who have family who went to both, or grew up rooting for one and then attended another, the bandwagon phenomenon is accentuated.
It's amazing how many people are now like..."oh i just went to Auburn but my brother goes to Alabama and I was always an Alabama fan". It's ridiculous how many people won't admit they are for a losing team. That goes both ways. When Alabama was in the dumps, there was a mass exodus to Auburn.

Could not be any bigger of a liar. I'd bet there are more Ags in Houston than any other university in the 25-40 yr old range, with only Texas coming close but only because of Montrose where Klark Kent probably spends his nights

yup you caught me. completely lied about every scenario i presented on the last page. gotcha.
and bring better shite than cookie cutter cutdowns, you likely got from a UT fan who told it to you in the first place.
and an Aggie making gay jokes? now that's just funny right there.

Yea Houston is our biggest alumni center by far... way more Ags there than any other city in the U.S.
We have a little less than 400,000 grads in a State of about 26 Million. Thus I would say we have any where from about 1.4-2.1 million fans, counting former students, their families, t-shirt fans, and casual people who just like us.
No where close to 1 of 6 Texans like us...

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

A&M is pretty used to being against every other fan base in the State. We have always relished that its us against the world.
I think now that we are in the SEC we have to contend with those that would actually cheer for us simply because we are in the SEC and from Texas.
Its a different dynamic but one that we are going to have to deal with. Evidently more TV sets in Austin were tuned into A&M vs. Alabama than anywhere else in Texas.
I have no way of knowing how many of those sets were tuned in to see A&M lose or was it simply just a good football game.
One thing is for sure, not many got to tune into ISU vs. Texas on the LHN.

Lets be honest here......... The bump in tv viewership we have attained this season has everything to do with people wanting to see us lose.

the vote amoung Texas republicans was split right down the middle between Texas and A&M.
The huge majority of Texans that didnt go to either college are fans of Texas. The T-Shirt fans.

Texas would be fricking awesome if not for that.
If the US were to receive an enema, Texico would be the insertion point. Seriously, we should try to give the dump back to Mexico, with an apology, and pray that they take it.
Here's an outline of Texican heroes:
William Travis - originally from Alabama. He started life as a lawyer/school teacher and married a 16 yo student. By 1831, he was such a sorry husband and degenerate spender that he drove his family into bankruptcy, then deserted his son and pregnant wife to skip out for Texico.
Sam Houston - onetime governor of Tennessee who was shamed from office for pulling a Jerry Lee Lewis and marrying a teenager. She kicked him out - rumors similar the Kenny Chesney/Rene Zellweger deal - at which point he fled the state for Oklahoma, where he became such a notorious booze hound that the Indians called him "Big Drunk." He married an Indian woman there, too, but like Travis, he deserted her for Texico.
Stephen F. Austin - also a bankrupt floater who lost his land and was mooching Kato Kaelin style with a friend in NOLA when his daddy died and left the ne'er-do-well his Texican claims. Austin then slipped over to Texico and tried to establish himself as an "empresario."
The Texican Revolution - what were they pissed about? Let's see...
1. After 1830, Mexico passed tough immigration laws that prohibited "Anglo wetbacks" from settling therein.
2. The Mexican government tried to enforce their law against slavery.
3. Per the original agreement allowing Anglos to settle Texico, all new residents had to convert to Catholicism if they wanted to have an active role in politics and civil matters. The revolution crowd decided AFTER they'd agreed to those terms and moved there that they didn't want to do that.
4. Racism - these assholes moved to Mexico, then complained about the Mexicans.
5. Spanish - after jumping the river for Texico, they refused to learn the language and got pissed when people wouldn't talk to them in English.
These and several other problems with Texican miscreants cause the Mexican government to dissolve the troublesome Texico legislature and sent an army to eject the assholes, as one does a rotten, festering turd.
The Alamo - Texico's most memorable act of asshatery/imbecility. "Hey, y'all, we've got 189 men in this 'army' and 4,000 Mexicans with heavy artillery are closing down on us. Let's hold up in a shitty church and see if we can swat them off." Yep, that was a great idea!
Hell, even after they won their independence, the US didn't want to touch them with a ten foot poll. They spent nine years as independent republic because no one would have them. Jackson ignored them, which says a lot considering what a redneck dick he was. They were finally accepted into the US only when they flirted with joining the British empire and the US felt forced into annexing them. Once annexed, they then tried to claim possession of the rest of the west, claims they dropped only after the US taxpayers agreed to pick up the massive debt they incurred while on their own.
You see, douchery is Texico's foundation and it has enjoyed a long and storied history since 1836. They're actually cocky/proud of this, too. Now that they're in the SEC, I guess we'll have to get used to their repetitive douching.
Alright, flame on, flame on. But so you know, this is why I've hated on Texico for years. Your epic run of douche this football season is but the tip of the iceberg.

Auburn's an engineering and ag school, so I expect you to know more about statistics. It's called sampling and there is a mathematical formula for determining representative samples, so the fact that 577/4.8 million participated doesn't, in itself, mean the stat is wrong.
True, the fact that all respondents owned phones and had active phone service no doubt skewed the entire survey in Alabama's favor.
