I would have agreed with you 10 years ago, but not today. A&M is splitting out more alumni at a faster rate now ( a lot of catching up to do). The Johnny Football years really gave us a ton of t shirt fans. Similar to what VY did for tu. Now A&M is on CBS, ESPN, or SECN while tu is on ABC/FOX, FS1, and LHN. We're beating them in the ratings in Texas. We built the bigger stadium and fill it up better more consistently. If there is a gap, it is a very small one.
graduates and ratings aside, the average highschool-diploma-or-lower person on the streets in any city in texas is still far more likley to have $100 in texas clothes and bumper stickers than a&m. it will always be this way.
i guess it depends on what type of presence/visibility the OP was referring to.

This may be so. Most of the guys I interact with without a degree or even a high school diploma either don't care about college sports or only care about whoever the big name is this week (ei JFF last week).
