It’s not that cfb isn’t king in Texas,
It’s that the fan bases here encompass like 20 different schools; so it’s next to impossible to get a majority for any one university.

The NFL is either Cowboys or Texans.
Obviously the Cowboys have a much deeper tradition than the expansion Texans do.
So it’s zero surprise that the numbers shook out this way.

Plus, I’d bet the fans of all those college teams are also fans of NFL teams. That doesn’t really give you an indication of where their true loyalties like though.

For myself, I am a Saints fan, but way after I’m an LSU fan.
