Who?
Rice is in Houston, but the football team isn’t particularly popular.
Most major US cities are EITHER pro football mad or college football mad. Very few are passionate about both sports.
Atlanta has a pro football team, but I’d bet there’s more water cooler conversation about the Georgia Bulldogs than about the Atlanta Falcons.
Miami has a pro team, but I bet the Gators, Canes and Noles inspire more watercooler conversation than the Dolphins.
In Houston, the Texans probably dont have as many rabid fans as the Longhorns and Aggies do.
