Where does Texas Tech sit in the order of Texas schools, assuming that Texas and A&M are 1 and 2? I used to think it was #3 but not so sure anymore. Do y'all consider them as a rival?

#1 & 2 in what?

No, they are not a rival. Texas is theirs, but the feeling isn't reciprocal; but the TT gals are muy bueno. Just above a zero chance Texas will play any old B12/SWC schools or a regular basis again other than SEC.

Lubbock is ~ 350 miles from Austin. It is one of the larger Texas schools, but not many UT alumni live in Lubbock. Texas would prefer to play in DFW & Houston for that reason. For comparison, a circle 350 miles in diameter centered in Alabama would capture every SEC town except Fayetteville & College Station.

In terms of enrollment...
