Favorite College Team in Denton: SMU!

[rcade]

An Internet web site has mapped pro and college sports allegiances based on the "who is your favorite?" survey of thousands of people. The college football map shows no presence of North Texas, even though it's one of the teams you can choose:

College Football Census

For links to the other maps, see this weblog post:

If you have 5-10 minutes take the survey on the site and tell them your favorite teams. Some of the breakdowns are pretty cool. I had no idea that Indiana was Boston Celtics country.

Sounds like not too many people have participated:

"Important: this map is highly inaccurate and should be understood only as a demonstration, and not as any kind of reliable data yet. It is based on only a few thousand votes spread across all teams, across the country."

[rcade]

Several thousand fans have voted so far.

[FirefightnRick]

Done.

Come on people, get in there and fill out the quick survey and put NT on the map.

Do you remember Larry Bird ?

Good point.

North Texas now has 14 votes, though one is mine in St. Augustine, so it looks like another 10-15 fans will have to show up for UNT to start showing up on the Texas map.

I made the short tour, answered the question and finally got to the vote-stage.

Do if for NT--do it for yourselves.

[FirefightnRick]

Keep going, up to 27 votes now, 3 ahead of SMU.

Just voted, it's now up to 30

North Texas is still climbing, although the map hasn't been redrawn yet.

One thing this map shows me is why Texas isn't producing the kinds of I-A powerhouses that Florida does. Our loyalties are divided over a lot more schools. Here in Florida, it's all UF, FSU, and Miami. And each group has a distinct geographic region with less overlap.

And on the last page after you answer the questions there is a link that asks if you are a sports fan, that is where you choose your favorite teams.

Vote often and keep in mind this map is not only concerned about Density, it is concerned about area. So vote in the DFW and use Google map search for gas stations, convenience stores, ect... in small towns to come up with more addresses in the North Texas area. That will help spread out Mean Green area!!

[KingDL1]

Bump.

I hope we can keep this going.

[NT91]

Were on the map now!!!!!!!!!!!!!
