re: If Texas wants to be in the SEC and needs to put the best foot forward to get the votes.

Texass has made a living off having the best athletes from top to bottom in virtually every game on their schedule. OU is the only school that has better athletes a significant amount of the games and even then it is probably only about 40% of the time.

Would be very interesting to see them line up and play A&M, LSU, OU, Bama, and a few other SEC schools. Historically Texas doesn’t do that well when talent is close. They sure don’t do well if they don’t have a big advantage in player talent. Call it culture or whatever.

Personally I enjoy playing them in College Station or Austin. Games and experiences are a blast. Half of our family are shorthorn fans and overall their B12 schedule sucks from a lack of excitement due to lack of overall fan support outside of Texass and OU.
