A&M is about to become THE SCHOOL in the state of Texas. Anyone that pays attention to football here realizes it and recruits are catching on. Yes, Austin is much more appealing than College Station... But let's be honest, would you rather play for Kevin Sumlin or Mack Brown right now? And who would you rather play with, Johnny Heisman or David Ash?
So you think that Mack Brown & David Ash are permanent fixtures at UT? One of these guys has 2 years left and the other has none. UT will not easily relinquish its position as the premier football program in Texas. Without question, A&M is having a much better year and is more impressive as a team, but as you have seen from last year to this, that can change in a hurry. This isn't the 1980's again, when Texas allowed the program to sink to mediocrity for almost a decade. There is a lot more at stake now. It just won't happen. Both A&M & Texas can be highly successful at the same time. It just hasn't been done before. But don't predict the future by relating to the past. It is no longer a reliable predictor.

The same folks who hired Mack I & II are still in charge of the 40 acres. But go on, keep telling us how things are "different" than they were in the 80's and 90's.

I think this is true, but with the caveat that Texas, Texas A&M, and OU cannot all be highly successful at the same time. One of the three has to be (at least slightly - as in capped at 8/9 wins) down. Add to that the recruting pressure of LSU in Houston, and someone's going to feel the squeeze.
