It's rather comical that people think they can just draw a straight line from the past to project the future, as if that's how the world works.
Folks, the lesson of History is that History isn't Destiny. UTx may re-take the state, but it will have virtually nothing to do w/ the series record against A&M, or any other victories before color TV.

Hardly a little brother. A&M's football history is less than Texas' but A&M has always been a major player in CFB.

Graduate and Professional: 13,000
Rank: Among nation’s five largest
universities
Endowment: Ranks 4th among U.S. public universities and 10th overall with an endowment of
more than $5 billion
Texas A&M is the flagship of the Texas A&M University System – one of the largest systems of higher education in the nation, educating 131,000 students through a statewide network of 11 universities, seven agencies and two service units
Texas A&M Athletics has won a total of 17 team national championships. 12 are NCAA titles
Texas A&M has won a total of 161 team conference and tournament championships. 96 titles were won during play in the Southwest Conference (93 men's/3 women's) while 58 were won in Big 12 Conference play (19 men's/39 women's).

For the record, I am fine with texas thinking they are still top dog in the state. More power to 'em. That hubris is a large reason why we were able to separate from them as a conference mate and join the SEC, and that attitude if it continues will only allow us to buttress our improving situation.
Michigan calls Michigan State "little brother," too, and (unfortunately for this UM fan) it doesn't mean a damn thing for current and future perception.
