1. Alabama is a much bigger "big brother" than UTex is....after this season, Alabama could have almost as many NC's in the last 4 years as UTex has ALL TIME

2. If Alabama went to the ACC or Big 12 while Auburn stayed in the SEC, I think they'd see it as narrowing the gap, if not evening the playing field completely. Why is it unreasonable for Aggies to feel this way?

Yes, but in football only. Texas, as much as I dislike it, is one of the best all around schools in the country. Being Texas AD, football coach or President/provost whatever, would all be elite jobs. Same can't be said for Alabama.

I know we care mostly about football, but I think it does play into the overall psyche of the in state relationships.
