Where does Aggie land start and end?

Both A&M and UT are huge in Houston and DFW which is about all that matters.

There was a map with populations in each state.. We have a huge "former student" population.

200k in texas alone.



"Nevertheless, it ought to provide us with some insight. The S.E.C.’s interest in Texas A&M becomes easier to understand once you recognize that the Aggies have among the largest fan bases in the country."

very good article

That article is pretty much crap. It is a nice data point, but if you are using it to valaidate anything you are way out of line. If you read the methodology they essentially admit the data is skewed due to it relied on fans voting and can be manipulated by teams that have a large internet folowing (such as A&M and Ark St.). It then goes to further state that less than 10,000 votes where cast and the projected numbers are based off of an formula instead of a tested validated regression model.

Basicly it means that it is fun to look at until someone actually knows what the numbers mean..

As far as what A&M gives the SEC, no one is really sure. A&M should provide some part of the DFW and Houston market, but they defiantely do not deliver the dominant share in either. The combination of LSU and A&M should give the SEC Houston, but so far there is no real proof either way.

Damn I'm tired of seeing that article. # 7 and 8 alone let me know that's bullshite

Check out this map

I hadn't thought about that, but we probably bring far more TV sets now than we would have 15 or even 10 years ago due to the growth and stratification of satelite providers.

Many of the small to midsize towns only have access to one local station (except in parts of deep East Texas where they also get Shreveport TV) so we were effectively blacked out in those markets for years despite having fanbases there.

Today, if we have to do a media buy in a rural area, it's almost mind-numbing how many providers we have to sort out.

I have no idea how many sets that adds, but I'm sure the smart guys with the big bucks know how to factor that in.

So does that mean the sportos, the motorheads, geeks, sluts, bloods, wasteoids, dweebies, dickheads and non-flamboyant gays are all Ags?

I wear boots, too-tight jeans, and button down plaid shirts, thank you very much.

To any Aggie fans: Is San Antonio also consider Aggie territory?
