I never said "fans" although your claim that Missouri has more is dubious at best.
First, what I actually posted (again something you seem to rarely address), Viriginia is a bigger and better market. And it is:
Virginia: Population 8 million
Missouri: Population 5.9 million.
Virginia is growing at nearly twice the rate of Missouri, has more people in the 18-44 demo, and has a younger population.
As far as who has more fans, both schools have an undergraduate enrollment of roughly 24,000. Both claim to have over 200,000 living alumni although no one ever knows that those numbers really are. Missouri actually claims nearly 250,000. Virginia Tech, in spite of having a stadium with a capacity that is 5,000 less than Missouri, has a better average season attendance. And as everyone who is reading this mundane exchange knows, far more people have been following VT football the past 10 years than Missouri. That is not to take anything away from what Missouri has accomplished, but it is what is.
