No, but that doesn't mean much. When someone says "UT" almost everyone in the nation thinks Texas not Tenn even though Tenn has a much better history. National spotlight doesn't mean much if you are losing, in fact it makes it worse.

Is this shift in the balance of power only because texas is struggling now?
And they made some bad decisions. Don't worry though, they will be back eventually. It would be stupid to assume otherwise.
A&M vs Texas is cute for the narrative, but if anything the football fates of both programs improved by not having an elimination round at the end of the year.
The real shift has been OU vs A&M. They went from being the FSU of Texas to being the UCF of Texas. We are skull fricking them for recruiting and undoing all that historical advantage they cheated to get.

A&M is running a rogue program while Strong is weeding out the riff raff from the Brown era and installing discipline in his team.
Yup. Give it five years. A&M will be on probation and Texas will be back in the title picture.
And just ftr, the only reason A&M was "in the spotlight" i was because (a) SEC expansion and (b) Johnny Manziel. It should be noted that they have not earned any attention on the field because they have not won any championships (unless you consider beating Bama winning a championship).

Didnt A+M just pay Seals-Jones 500k to come there?

The past few years are an aberration. Nothing more.

Maybe, but we didn't get accused of it like LSU did

No, other people offered to pay him that. He came to us because he liked us instead, Cam Newton-style.

I am sure some Clemson fan feels the same way.

I think texas would beat a&m this year if they played.
Will either school be able to field a team at this rate?

This thread is about making fun of A&M. Not the Gamecocks. Keep it on topic please.

You have to admit it makes a fine comparison though. I am sure if the rant existed 15 years ago and we asked the question
"Clemson vs USC"
there would be many posters saying that Clemson would ALWAYS be top dog in the state. Things change, not saying they have just that they can.

Not really. Texas was one of CFB's blue bloods. Clemson, not really. Texas has won what? 4 titles now? Clemson has won 1 (and got pretty luck to win it, frankly, everyone else lost and they won by default).
Clemson was never on Texas' level. I know it pains you to realize that Texas was on that level, but they were.
