I don't know what to believe. I've seen StopRobot post a NYT article about sidewalkers and A&M and Auburn had the largest percentage in the SEC.
and whats weird is the methodology for that is the same IIRC

JFF had a very heavy, although temporary, impact on the aTm sidewalker debate.

Ive explained how this article is bullshite a couple of times but gladly do it again.
1. TAMU claims 250,000 living alumni
2. A poll of adults in Texas found that 22% of Texas identify themselves as TAMU fans
3. The population of Texas is 27 million. 22% of 27 million is 6 million
4. 4% of 6 million is 250,000
Thus even if you said that every single living TAMU alumni lived in Texas only 4% of the TAMU fan base is alumni.
You can do this with Alabama and Auburn. Georgia Those are the only ones I know of but I haven't looked for any others. Basically it boils down to this. The amount of sidewalk fans is such a huge portion of every fanbase that the differences in the schools is really small.
