Control of what? I don't get what they ever controlled. They still have their recruiting base, and that is evident with their recruiting results every year. They still have a shite ton of money, in fact twice as much money as A&M has and they will continue to dwarf the A&M athletic budget. Lastly, they still have the fanbase that strongly supports the program and the facilities to make their team successful. The only thing they don't have right now is the results on the WIN and LOSS column. Otherwise everything is there. A&M doesn't have near the recruiting base or even close to the same amount of money to achieve what Texas has. I can say that because they HAVE achieved FAR MORE than A&M has, and they hold in their hand far more money than A&M. A&M cannot objectively say they are in a better spot than Texas besides the wins column.

Doesn't necessarily translate into success. FYI here are Big 12 champions:

Oklahoma: 7
Texas: 3
Nebraska: 2
Texas A&M 1
Colorado: 1
Kansas State: 1

OU has 7 while texass has 3

texass is much closer to the pack than it is to OU in terms of Big 12 domination. Thanks for proclaiming loudly that texass is the "clear number 2" in the Big 12.

Purely from a financial perspective in terms of money spent on a "per win" basis... The absolute worst return on investment in all of college football is $ spent per win at texass.

No other program in the nation spends as much for relatively small returns. Typical count shorthorn to come on and totally forgot that OU has absolutely owned them. texass is not even the best school in the freaking conference.

Stop worrying about A&M and go worry about the those 40 point beatdowns you keep getting on national TV.

As always... can't spell Uterus without the U and T.
