With all due respect, if the teams were so shitty then how come A&M didn't win a conference title in the 2000's? A&M and their fanbase is incredibly arrogant considering the team has not won a conference title since 1998. I completely understand the momentum you guys are gaining but there are no accomplishments in recent history to hang your hat on.

The '00s were actually the only decade in A&M history that we did not win a Conference Title going back to the beginning of the previous century.

Also, comparing the Big 12 of today to the one of the '00s is a joke. For instance, the Big 12 sent 3 different teams to the BCS Title game 7 times in 10 years in the '00s (more than the SEC), though the SEC won more of course. The Big 12 had a solid argument to be at worst the 2nd Best Conference. It has declined steadily since '10 however when Nebraska decided to leave.

Living in Austin though it is fun to hear daily as the sips slowly realize the trap they are in. Right now they are in the honeymoon of Charlie Strong's hire and convincing themselves that he is going to be able to win without a QB and because he had good defenses at UF that suddenly that will just solve all the problems at Texas in spite of the lack of talent. They are expecting 3 Star True Fish and Walk Ons to come in and start or contribute in a big way.

It's astounding how far they have fallen really, A&M is dominating them and they are losing recruits to Baylor, OU, and Tech with regularity. Many top Texas kids aren't even giving them a sniff. All their hopes are on a 10 win season when 6-6 or 7-5 is much more realistic. It may get a lot worse before it gets better for them.
