It appears that the Aggies have now noticed the LSU plates invading Texas.

It probably outsells the Aggie plates, so they are embarrased because of it. I wonder if Louisiana strawberries are allowed to be sold in Texas too.

Of all the Texas schools that have specialty plates, the Aggies sell the most. Like more than 7,000 per year or something like that. So far, we have less than 2,000 LSU plates sold. I think the Aggies are concerned that we may be horning in on their territory.

I would think the Hornfans would sell the most.

I would have thought so, too, but they don't. Texas is more like 5000 a year.

I ordered one and put them on my new car the day I recieved 'em. I love the fact that the Aggies and Horns are pissed.

Here in DFW I have had a few people express dismay over my new plate. Usually the words "just wrong" are somehow involved. To be truthful it wasn't as bad as I had expected for as self absorbed as this state is.

...To be truthful it was more fun in 2004 pulling in front of cars and trucks with OU stickers to make sure they could have a good view of my LSU sticker. Hopefully LSU beats UT for for the MNC this year and I can have some more fun.

No. It is not. I am not sure, but I think you can get a plate that is just for show. The real plates are available and on my car.

No. If you read further down the Aggie thread, there is a second link that is the correct one.

wait you're saying in the entire state of texas only 7000 specialty aggie plates are sold and 5000 ut plates a year? for some reason that seems really low to me.

I'm estimating based on income for the year from plate sales (and kind of going on memory, which I probably shouldn't do).
