Obviously a lot of A&M people voted in this poll.

i have no idea, but A&M is not like nebraska fans, who are out of their mind crazy when it comes to these kinds of things. i don't know much about the poll, but almost 1.5 million people voted and the rivalry, mascot, town, fans, and tradition were all won by fairly wide margins.

not being biased, sentiment around the country is that A&M does have the best tradition, fans, and live mascot. i hear that all the time from people all across the country.

what does surprise me is the vote of the town and rivalry; while i agree College Station is a great college town and the texas v. Texas A&M rivalry is awesome...i don't know if they are the best....but, they should be at or near the top.

No offense, but the Aggie collie is only the third best dog on the list.

...well, the country doesn't agree. however, i do think those other K9s are pretty sweet....something about Reveille...she's a pain in the ass, pretty, statuesque...basically a hot bitch.

That state is 99% biased, A&M does have the best tradition, but in no way do they have the best fans and live mascot. Kyle Field doesn't even sell out anymore, that a way to support your team.

and how can you say a little collie is better than a live longhorn or buffalo or even a BEAR???

Also keep in mind the limited choices for each question. Almost every question, I had an answer that wasn't listed. And I see no way how Reveille is a better live mascot than Bevo or the Colorado Buffalo...

i agree, the poll isn't perfect. but i do think most of the answers available are more than reasonable.
