What About Texas A&M?

People want to harp on The University of Georgia for underachieving in the big 3 sports year in and year out, and only excelling in sports that "don't matter" (country club).
But what about Texas A&M? They have all the big oil tycoon boosters, a state that has all the resources (so their residents think so, otherwise they wouldn't want to separate from the Union). They are nearby 2 very large metro areas (larger than Atlanta)..
..... yet they have a mediocre football history, a dismal basketball history, and a laughable baseball history.
Is there any reason to this? I know I live in the Deep North and all, and Texas A&M is pretty irrelevant up here, so enlighten me SEC brethren.

A&M is not "close" to any major metropolitan area...

we just do a better job in excelling at the "doesn't matter" category of sports than you do

Girlie, when you thaw out we'll talk. Meanwhile stick to shoveling snow.

How does it feel to be a 40yr old man pretending to be a woman on the Internet?

Texas has 6 cities that are within 3 hours of campus that are larger than Atlanta

I get 5, not 6:
Houston
San Antonio
Dallas
Austin
Fort Worth
Arlington would be a close 6; but Atlanta is a little larger.

No, it isn't. I'm not sure why that's relevant?
population of Austin = 842,592
population of Atlanta = 443,775

The Atl region is 5.7M...roughly the size of DFW.
