    Wow, didn't realize that the Mavs Spurs was a big rivalry. At least the Rockets-Spurs have 5 championships in the past 11 years, so it seems like that would be a better choice. The Mavs have been good for about 5 years.

    Not that surprising considering texags (A&M bbs) is more popular than hornfans (UT bbs) and UT has three teams listed on there.

    It was 26.6% Cowboys' Superbowl to 22.9% Rockets Championship when I started voting. It's now at 25.9% Cowboys to 23.6% Rockets.

    Found the responses to this question quite amusing:

    9) Favorite personality or historical figure?

    41.1% George W. Bush (politician)
    16.3% Willie Nelson (musician)
    11.9% Dwight Eisnehower (general, politician)
    8.8% Buddy Holly (musician)
    5.9% Matthew McConaughey (actor)
    3.6% Tommy Lee Jones (actor)
    2.5% Howard Hughes (entrepeneur)
    2.5% Janis Joplin (musician)
    2.0% Lyndon Johnson (politician)
    1.5% Ross Perot (politician)
    1.4% Dixie Chicks (musical group)
    1.3% Dan Rather (newscaster)
    0.9% Sandra Day O'Connor (jurist)
    0.2% Joan Crawford (actress)

    over 41% say George Dubbya is their favourite personality or historical figure? Interesting.....
