PhatMack19 Posted August 25, 2014 Report Posted August 25, 2014 The quietest 100,000 fans in sports should be #1. Makes perfect sense Roper84 1 Quote

TxHoops Posted August 25, 2014 Report Posted August 25, 2014 Oh, and IMO, Nebraska and Michigan too low on the national list. Both should be top 5. Quote
PN-G bamatex Posted August 26, 2014 Author Report Posted August 26, 2014 I only glanced through the description of the research, but if I understand this correctly, they're trying to determine the best fanbases by loyalty and dedication based on a number of factors. One of those factors is the stability of fan support during seasons where the program doesn't perform well, or at least as well as expected. That's a double-edged sword for both UT and A&M. Quote

It was actually pretty interesting. The group essentially created a formula where he could input empirical data to reach his results. Refreshing compared to the endless, mindless lists produced by "bleacherreport" and the likes. Quote
Peppermint Patty Posted August 26, 2014 Report Posted August 26, 2014 Without looking at the list. Is Ole Miss #1? Quote

shovel Posted August 26, 2014 Report Posted August 26, 2014 If you go by the premise that fans vote with their pocketbook, you have to look at merchandise sales. UT is (and has been for a while) #1. Bama is #2. The rabid Aggie fans didn't make the top 10. They must be cheapskates! http://espn.go.com/college-football/story/_/id/9560094/texas-longhorns-again-top-merchandise-sales-list Quote

whatnamecanipick Posted August 26, 2014 Report Posted August 26, 2014 Not off topic OK you are right again. Texas is already #1. How much higher would they be with standing, loud, drunk, obnoxious fans? Texas fans are happy where they are, and they do not care about being another "12th Man". Everybody does not want to be like an Aggie.We will leave that to you. TxHoops 1 Quote
