PP. You see much more Longhorn alum spirit outside the Amtrak corridor. It’s not that they’re runner up to Michigan, it’s that the east coast loves to spend 4-7 years in Ann Arbor before reassembling here.

West Coast and mountain state tech and energy hubs are bigger draws for expat Texans



That’s the point. You see Michigan swag it seems everywhere.

My point is that you *don't* see Michigan swag all over Los Angeles or Seattle or Park City or Phoenix. You do, however, see so much UT burnt orange.

False.

I spend a good part of the year in Florida. I hardly ever see any UT gear here. I do see Michigan swag much more often.

That’s BS. Michigan has far more alumni in CA than Texas. Texas grads stay in Texas at a much higher rate.

shrug. About half of all living Michigan alum live in Michigan.

I mean, yeah, Florida is a very popular place for Michiganders to retire to and vacation in. Or to move to to escape the cold. Less common for Texans to do so.

Gee I see 41,000 alumni in California. The most outside of any state other than Michigan. I highly doubt Texas has anywhere near that amount in CA. Michigan has over 640,000 living alumni. Texas, 540,000

The article is 8 years old. Semi-worthless.

“ Of the 41,000 alumni that reportedly live in California, half live in greater Los Angeles and San Francisco.”

……..and that was 8 years ago!

how so? it's an old article, but as a Michigan native I don't think anything has changed at all since it was written. maybe exact numbers are different, but Michigan grads leaving Michigan is still a huge issue the state struggles with. if anything, I'd hypothesize it's sped up in the last 8 years.

90% of UT students come from Texas. A much higher percentqge than Michigan. The vast majority of them stay in Texas after graduation.

I agree with what you’re saying. I’m stating that since so many Michigan graduates leave the state after completing their degrees, that is why you see much more swag throughout the country. Furthermore, Michigan accepts a higher percentage of students who never lived in the state to begin with. Naturally, more will leave after their education is completed than probably any other highly ranked public.
