A&M just never has been anything but a second tier program in Texas. Arkansas fans are more familiar with A&M, its history, and its limits, than any SEC fans. We understand Texas recruiting better than the rest of the league, too.
Sure, a move to the SEC helps. Lucking out with a freak athlete freshman QB helps perception initially and makes you a "hot" program nationally.
Arkansas fans just know A&M is a team we beat much more often than not, for whatever reasons.
If you beat us the next two seasons, you'll be even with us over six seasons of renewed play.
We were in Atlanta for the title game in 1995, when you were still in the SWC. Let see how you do longer term in the SEC.
Auburn had a freak QB for a season and won the BCS. You guys finished 3rd in the west.

"If"?
There's not a set of circumstances short of the extraordinary that suggest A&M won't run over Arkansas for the foreseeable future. You just don't have anything going for you.
