College football typically draws a very loyal fan base.
Texas Longhorns fans are some of the most passionate in the country and have consistently shown their loyalty through hard times. The program hasn’t experienced much success as of late, but their support has never wavered.

It helps that their logo is one of the most recognizable in the world.
