Are you just a little slow or full blown? serious question
Perhaps what is confusing you is that you don't understand the correlation between enrollment and fan base? The fact that LSU and A&M had generally the same enrollment in 1977 does NOT indicate that thy had anywhere close to the same fan base at that time, nor for the 15 years that followed. The fact that we had nowhere close to the same size fan base is seen in the fact that we had to sell them a home game every year.
Our enrollment caught up in the 70's, but it takes twenty or thirty years for a large enrollment to lead to a large fan base. A large enrollment is not needed for a large fan base if you are ND, or if you are the flagship school of a state without professional sports, but neither of those routes to a large fan base were available to A&M.
Hence, it too until the 90's for our fan base to catch up an surpass a school like LSU.

You really are dumb.
Someone will take the time to deconstruct how mind blowingly stupid your last post was.

That there is a correlation between enrollment and alumni base is undeniable. That there is a correlation between alumni base and fan base should be obvious as well.
Well, which is it? Your argument seems to be changing/evolving to try to keep up and plug the holes in your original premise.

I believe you are the one my friend

caught up with whom? your enrollment in the 70's was larger than the majority of schools now

So by that statement your fanbase should be at least twice the size of the rest of the SEC

Care to name all the other exceptions to your conclusions. it seems like you have a lot of them. Also care to explain how Auburn fits into your exceptions.
Dude, just leave your fail thread and move on
