Between Fred Akers and Mack Brown (1984-1997), A&M owned the state and Texas was wandering in the wilderness.
A&M's record vs. Texas during that time: 11-3
While Charlie Strong is a decent coach (on the defensive side), it will take an extremely massive culture change for them to gain any ground on A&M.
Let's look at the A&M commits/signees this year that Texas wanted:
WR: Frank Iheanacho
OL: Zach Ledwik
OL: Tank Davis
OL: Koda Martin
DE: Myles Garrett
DT: Zaycovan Henderson (flipped with one phone call 2 days before he was supposed to enroll there)
DT: DeShawn Washington
LB: Josh Walker
DB: Nick Harvey
DB: Armani Watts
Contrast that with the Texas commits/signees that A&M wanted:
WR: Armanti Foreman
LB: Otaro Alaka (who we might still flip)
Step 1 in Sumlin's plan: Marginalize OU in recruiting (complete in 2013)
Step 2 in Sumlin's plan: Marginalize Texas in recruiting (in progress, likely complete in 2015)
A&M's record vs. Texas during that time: 11-3

And, to be fair, they only got Foreman because they were willing to offer his brother, and we wouldn't. if we flip Alaka, it's a shut-out.
