I'm old enough to remember a dominating Texas program that pretty much sealed up every 5 star in the state, minus a very few that we got. Spurrier seems to forget those days.

I don't.

2009 BCS title game broke Mack Brown's brain so badly that he tanked the program by moving away from the offense that Texas talent is well suited for.

A&M went to the SEC in 2012 and Texas was no longer the defacto top choice for instate talent. Representing the state in the big boy SEC was an effective sell for the Aggies.

Longhorn Network buried 1 or 2 games per year while A&M was playing Alabama on CBS and Manziel won a Heisman.

We hired Charlie Strong.

Pretty much a perfect storm for the decade of despair that was the 2010s.

Moving to the SEC is hitting the reset button. If Sark can put something together this year, I'll feel good. If not, we'll go get CUM and you will all be fricked.
