The rant, unfortunately, does not.
It also needs to be said that Texas Football talent is over rated. Plenty of good players have come from there and still do; but how come UT and A&M have never been truly dominant at the same time? If this is the supposed goldmine for talent, how come not even once have we seen it?
How come those thanksgiving dates between those two pretty much almost never had serious national title implications for even one. NEVER for both! For years UF and FSU largely with Florida talent had those games… and Miami was right there… Alabama and Auburn last year from a much smaller state did it? How come?
Texas superiority it's a myth that's why.

I think overexposed is more accurate.

re question about t.u. and TAMU never being dominant simultaneously
Sure, Texas has 5x the population of Alabama, but there historically has been 5x the competition for recruits as well. 'Bama (for example) does not have the same level of competition for in-state recruits,
In addition to t.u. and TAMU, the State or Texas fenerally has at least two or three successful programs at any given time. For instance, I can remember times that t.u., TAMU, Baylor, SMU and Houston were all competitive. We were all in the same conference, so there was not something as clear as the SEC to differentiate the teams for recruits.
Thankfully, that situation has changed.
