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...

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.
