You know they hold the Red River Shootout Showdown in Dallas because it's neutral territory between Oklahoma and Texas?  The northern realms of Texas, like any large center state (see Orson Scott Card), blend well with the states along those borders.  I'm not surprised that there are a fair number of Nebraska fans up there.  SMU and TCU would be hometown favorites, of course, but only one has risen to prominence recently.  Texas is very heterogeneous in its football loyalty though it's just between UT and A&M for vast parts of the state.
