17. "I’m from Austin. Longhorns are our pro team. " In response to In response to 16
Hard to explain. More longhorns fans in Austin than Cowboys, or at least that’s how it was growing up. We LOVE football, but we love our CFB more than NFL You got middle school and JV on Thursday, Friday nights you probably catching a local game, Saturday you keeping track of your team ... Sunday is optional for the most parts unless you live in Dallas (SMU) or Houston (U of H) two cities that have always been cities. But for college places, you tend to get more Saturday fans than Sunday fans
Oh and there’s also this weird overlap of Aggie and Cowboys fans that made Longhorns fans a little soft on the NFL. Add that on to Jerry almost never drafting Longhorns ... it’s all a very weird relationship that’s impossible to truly explain
