Sam,
>Do football fans in Austin follow the Texans or the Cowboys?
Well, I don't follow pro sports much at all, largely in part due to vastly overpaid cry babies like TO. Austin is pretty split as to which pro football/baseball/basketball team they root for.
>If you say the longhorns I'll barf. :)
Since I grew up in Missouri (only lived down here in Texas for 10 years now) I still root for the Mizzou Tigers. Austin is probably 90% Longhorn fans, 7% A&M Aggies and 3% Texas Tech Red Raiders. And since they are all Big-12 schools makes for interesting discussions.
