I wouldn't be surprised if the Volunteers are number 1 instead of the Titans for Tennessee.

As for Texas. I would say Dallas. But the Longhorns are right there with them.

That seems to be a fairly accurate list considering winning teams. Not sure if the Phoenix Suns are more successful than the Arizona Diamondbacks.

I think the Suns are more popular though. Could be wrong.

I did this list more on popularity than championships (see Massachusetts)

And as for the Longhorns being right there with the Cowboys... that's almost debatable, but I still say Cowboys are the most popular in Texas.

Yeah sadly the Cowboys are the most popular team overall in Texas. I think its based more on Texas' stereotype though than anything is the reason people associate the two together.

Dallas hasn't had a winning team in almost 15 years.

Indiana is most definitely the Indianapolis Colts because IU basketball is split with Purdue, Notre Dame, and more recently Buter.

I actually believe the Eagles would have more fans in PA however on a national level there may be more Steelers. In PA though I would say PSU Football (Actually on the below link shown to have the largest College Football fan base in the Country) would have the largest and most cohesive fan base for the whole state of PA, Philly, Pittsburgh and all places in between.


This is a cool link for fan base and geography for each sport

Foot in Mouth. So am I to assume that Houston has NEVER had a winning team in their glorious 8 year existence? Also, it's not based on some stupid stereotype. It's based on Dallas being a winning organization for the majority of it's 50 year existence and they are a popular brand in the state of Texas. No team has won more championships in Texas than the Dallas Cowboys. No team has been as successful besides the Texas Longhorns as the Dallas Cowboys. Now quit obsessing.

I wouldn't say the University of Michigan Wolverines football for Michigan. There are a huge number of people in the state that HATE UofM, far more than follow them. It would probably be either the Tigers or the Redwings. You see a lot of Old English "D's" and flying wheels on cars all over the state.

Damn Skippy it isn't the Lions. Oh man, don't even get me started on those clowns.
