Looking at all the attention and benefits that A&M has gotten since they moved into the SEC. (Awesome decison for their administration)
Have they already surpassed Texas in the national spotlight?
Do they need to win a few SEC titles before they stake a claim?
Is this shift in the balance of power only because texas is struggling now?
Wondering what the board thinks. This is not a bash A&M thread.

A&M is rising at a time when Texas was down in the dumps. Give a few years when both teams are good, that's when we'll figure out which team runs Texas. Too early to tell right now.

Texas will always run that state. I hate Texas. Can't stand them, but I'm also not stupid.
You're trying to compare a program that just barely hits 700 wins all time against a program that is about to hit 900 all time wins. aTm will never pass Texas in national relevance or spotlight.

Welp, if Hawgeye said it, it must be true.
Pack it up, folks. Party's over.

You have a problem with people having opinions?

It's more than just Texas struggling. But that definitely helped. It really was a perfect storm with the new exciting coach, moving to the best conference, JFF, and stadium renovation. Texas will still get the majority of the t-shirt fans in the state, and the only way that will change is if we win something.
However, I don't believe the huge gap between Texas and A&M that was there during the Fran/Sherman years in regards to recruiting or relevance will ever be that large again.

There are opinions, and there are silly dreams. Best of luck to Arky

Silly dream is an opinion.
I've always liked A&M much more than Texas. Until I was about 12, A&M was where I was going to go to college. I have tons of Aggie friends (like all of my groomsmen).
But UT, as much as I hate it, runs that state. Texas can/will have a 8 or 9 win season soon and t-shirt fans will crawl out of their trailers and starting rooting for the horns again.

Does it bother you that I carry a big stick?

I think texas would beat a&m this year if they played.

Texas has won at least 8 games every year but 1 since 1998.
Texas has won 9 games 12 out of the last 16 years

They did a number on Arky over the years. Really crushed their spirit. Sad stuff.

A&M is running a rogue program while Strong is weeding out the riff raff from the Brown era and installing discipline in his team.

Nope. Folks can think whatever they wish

It is my opinion that Arky might never finish above 5th in the SEC west again. Fair enough?

y'all are a sensitive bunch
prob why y'all will never surpass Texas

def what I think affects play on the field and recruiting as such. Who is oversensitive?

It's entirely too early for your bunch to be crying

The University of Texas, like Yale and Penn, will always be at the very top when it comes to the national relevance of their football program. Things like that never change.
