Everything is about recruiting and, regardless of the wave that A&M is on right now, Texas just has to right it's ship, adjust it's recruiting process away from locking in kids on Jr. Day and it wouldn't take long till the best players in Tx. will be looking at Austin first to make their decision.

Even with the assumed recruiting advantage, the entire state of Texas has only won 1 NC since 1970. Compare that to Florida, Alabama, or LA. Oklahoma takes who they want and they win titles and own the Horns. The best recruits are in the deep south, and Saban is tearing it up right now.

I believe this is more reflective of the coaching than the schools themselves. None of those schools win championships with Akers, McWilliams, or Mackovic. On the other hand, Stoops, Saban, Myer, and similar coaches can win multiple NC's at Texas. As mediocre as Mack Brown is as a coach, he even has one.

Not anymore. Poor, sad, optionless, bevo-dong-stroking dirt burglars.
