Here's what I take from the data:
Amongst Texas Republicans (about 1.3 million more Republicans than Democrats in Texas based on last night's results
) the Aggies and Longhorns have approximately equal fan support.
Amongst Texas Democrats (who in our state make up fewer overall college football fans than Republicans obviously) tu is nearly three times as popular as us.
I would have assumed the numbers would look something like this based on the history/traditions/cultures of both schools and the makeup of both student bodies/former students... but it's almost comical the "partisan gap" between the two schools.
