  "account": "A recent statewide survey by Overton Insights has revealed that Texas A&M Aggie fans are considered the most obnoxious fan base in the state of Texas. This finding comes as no surprise given the long-standing rivalry between Texas A&M and the University of Texas Longhorns. According to the survey, 29.7% of Texas voters consider Texas A&M's fans to be the most obnoxious in the state, just edging out the University of Texas Longhorn fans by a narrow margin of 2%. The survey also revealed a partisan divide among voters, with Republican voters favoring the UT Longhorns' fans at 31.9%, compared to 24.1% choosing Texas A&M. Democratic voters, however, overwhelmingly preferred A&M fans at 37%, compared to just 20.9% for UT. The report highlights that Texas A&M and UT are currently leading the pack in terms of obnoxiousness, but notes that younger voters may change this dynamic in the future. If younger voters continue to favor Texas Tech, they may become the most obnoxious fan base in Texas. Other Texas universities that made the report include the University of Houston, Texas Tech, Baylor, SMU, and TCU.",
