two, but unless A&M wins a natty it's shine will wear off.
So let's straighten something else out. Bama and LSU are great. No one is scared of a single other team in the SEC. No one. The advantage is that the marketing strategy is working. Disney has been thumping the SEC's chest for a decade, and due to the two teams at the top taking turns winning championships, the marketing strategy has gained a lot of traction. Since football integration, the SEC schools have always sat in recruiting hotbeds not just recently. Texas is not intimidated because it has faced the top teams and played level football with them.
So after this year when we don’t lose to anyone other than Bama again y’all gonna tell us again how great it used to be?
Look at the games. Who does A&M lose to? Name your shot. One year ban if you are wrong. I say they beat every team except Bama.
You talk a lot of shite. Back it up. Let’s go bro.
Otherwise all this talk, is just talk and you don’t believe your team is currently better than A&M and we all know it.
That’s because they aren’t.

Dude. They have finished outside of the top 25 in 5 of the past 9 years, while having all the facilities advantages and playing against inferior competition, especially based on recruiting rankings. They have it all figured out…

I’m calling them out. You believe A&M sucks. Fine. Back it up. Otherwise you’re full of shite.

facilities advantages
Negative, they were behind Baylor, OU, OSU and TCU
They were 5th in the big 12, they will be 8th-9th in the SEC, although I do expect them to throw money at facilities quickly and climb into the top 5 or 6

Hmm that’s interesting. I figured if they were the self-proclaimed “Joneses” - they wouldn’t have inferior facilities like that. Oh well…

This is the difference. I don't care how great you think BAMA is, never just come out and concede and acknowledge you're going to get beat by any team. If you think you're that damn good, state you're that damn good.

First time poster so flame away.
The reason ATM consistently fell off a cliff in November prior to Jimbo was the team was not SEC sized, mentally or physically. ATM caught lightning in a bottle with Johnny football and had an excellent O Line recruited by Sherman. Johnny made Sumlin a millionaire many times over and allowed ATM to transition faster than, in my opinion, normal.
The SEC is a huge grind and every team can beat anyone on any given weekend. The are no automatic wins in the SEC.
OU will perform better in the SEC due to size and talent but it will take a few years to get deep enough to be SEC tough. Texas may have a more difficult transition due to many factors discussed in this thread.
The worst that can happen to both teams is they languish in the big 12 for a few years and lose recruits because of the transition (see Bryce Anderson). OU and TU can play with anyone in a single game if they have time to prepare. The grind of the SEC comes with days to prepare. In my opinion, it is simply a different league where the teams are tougher and deeper. We will see, but Texas and OU will experience this soon.

If you want to pump up recruiting stats from the 2000's which were several coaches and a conference change ago for both schools to make you feel better go for it. We can go back in time to the 80's and 90's too when A&M was winning 7 Conference Titles, cranking out great recruiting, and was a fixture in the Top 15.
No one GAS though, it's about where things are now. As of now A&M has put together multiple Top 10 Recruiting Classes. As of now A&M has 4 potential 1st Round Draft Picks playing for them. As of now we have Jimbo as our coach who has a Natty of his own and just won a NY6 last year. As of now we have one of the best stadiums and overall facilities in CFB, certainly to the point where no one has a distinctive advanatage over us like what Texas did in the '00s.
A&M was terrible the last decade in the Big 12, no getting around that. Outside of a few wins and the occassional bright spot it was a dark time. We bet big on the Fran hire and it failed miserably (ironically we fired him after 2 straight wins over Texas btw). The last decade has been decent but not great. 2 very good seasons and a lot of "meh", the trend is in the right direction though because all of the investments are paying off and we seem to finally have the right coach.
Texas certainly can win but you guys have some issues you need to figure out. Your OL/DL recruiting has been terrible and you simply cannot succeed in the SEC without winning the trenches. Sark is a risky hire as he did nothing at UW or USC and it's laughable to think he is the reason Bama is great. Early returns on recruiting are not impressive, especially for a new coach that should be able to sell the SEC. I guess we will see.

Underrated post. Excellent take. A&M has more ground to gain certainly. But A&M isn’t what it was 10 years ago.

So they've been "down" 2 of the last 4 decades...got it.

Please point out when I said I was one of those photo'd Sorry I was in grad school by then.
It must really hurt you that the kids in that photo were smart enough to get into a school that you weren't deemed good enough to attend

Terrible post.
First, we've out-recruited you the last 4 years. Not 10 or 20 years ago, right now. Go check. Look at it 6 ways to Sunday and it still holds up.
We were in a NY6 Bowl vs the number 2 team from the SEC, even though we've been down. Being in a NY6 bowl isn't something to brag about for a top tier team. It's an expectation.
Lastly, we don't have to have the best facilities, they just need to be good. We can sell the city as part of the facilities, something YOU cannot do College Station.

You talk a lot of shite. Back it up. Let’s go bro.
Otherwise all this talk, is just talk and you don’t believe your team is currently better than A&M and we all know it.
That’s because they aren’t.
First of all, I never bet on anyone but myself. Betting is for suckers. You cannot control injuries and the like.
Your schedule is favorable. You play 4 bullshite as out of conference games, and duck the good teams from the East. That said, you will likely drop at least two conference games. Missing the SEC title games means you won't get any L's there. I say 3 losses total, considering you guys are trying to figure out your QB situation. Not a bad season, but not one to be thumping your chest over either.
