Texas Fans

Ok, we're a little loud, we're way proud....but we are also extremely loyal and like to spend a lot of cash...get this:


"Powered by a classic Rose Bowl battle between Texas and Southern California that was the most-watched college football game in at least 15 years, ABC broke CBS' ratings dominance this TV season.
Texas' last-minute 41-38 win in college football's national championship was seen by 35.6 million people last week, according to Nielsen Media Research.
No college football game has drawn that much interest since at least 1991, as far back as Nielsen has electronic records. It was a whopping 14.2 million more viewers than last year's championship game between Southern California and Oklahoma, and a bigger audience than any World Series game since 2001. "

But not only do we drive the ratings, we also like to buy:

"T-shirts commemorating The University of Texas' football team's national championship went on sale just after the game ended Wednesday night – and they've hardly stopped selling.
In all, the University Co-op reports more than 70,000 t-shirts sold in the week since Texas' breathtaking win over USC at the Rose Bowl.
At $25 a shirt, the Co-op alone has made $1.7 million in sales. That doesn't include caps, sweat shirts, pennants, mugs and other Longhorn gear.
Merchants say sales continue to be robust and show no signs of dying soon."

Of course, we might be buying all that stuff because a National Championship might not be coming back anytime soon since our lean-mean-quarterback machine just left us to make about a gazillion dollars in the NFL....

HOOK 'EM!!!!!
