You are forgetting the main point
UT made A&M great because they were considered the main opposition or rival
Now it is more Tech, Baylor or TCU
A&M is not anything without the Texas schools
It is a school without a home
LSU always recruited Texas but the other SEC universities do not understand the rules of Texas recruiting
Much different than the rest of the country
Ole Miss found this out

Now, there I'll agree with you to a degree, and why Nebraska will suffer going forward. They like say OU lack much in-state talent, and without their old school traditional foes have lost luster and traction, along with post Dr Tom hires.

It's why I think OU and Texas need to be careful if ever deciding to not be in the same conference. Why UNC and Duke should never become unattached,etc..

It's why the SEC switched Thanksgiving Day Arky for ATM vs LSU, to try give ATM an UT replacement.

In the short term Aggies may have lost a lil something without the UT game, but JFF, beating Bama once, the road wins for a while, and their growing pains aside. I think they are a big enough boy to adjust without their in-state foes and in moving forward as a power school in the 3 men majors.

IMO, I would say schools like Mizzou(despite two East crowns), Maryland, Nebraska,etc..are having a tougher time building forward without their traditional rivals in certain sports than is ATM.

And Woody(Scott Woodward) is gonna be a good AD.

It's all a bunch of nonsense but that one is Texas sized.
