This kind of leads to a huge frustration I have that a lot of Aggies have. This perception that somehow Texas and OU are better and have always been better. It just isn't true. We just shite the bed with a series of bad decisions that continued to put us in a hole while Texas and OU simply were rolling 7's and 11's. I remember looking at the paper year after year in the late 80s and early '90s and it was just a given that A&M dominated. The recruiting rankings were all A&M with us getting the pick of whomever we wanted. The All SWC Teams basically had an Aggie at every position just divided between 1st, 2nd, and 3rd Teams. Beating Texas was a given, I'll never forget the feeling of shock when we lost the '90 game on that freaking 2 point conversion that they broadcast our play from the huddle. I really remember the '95 game when I couldn't believe we actually let Texas win at Kyle. It's as though the sips line of "oh, they were just cheating" has washed all of that away and far too many Aggies believe it or they were too young to remember it.
