I think of A&M, especially with the hire of Jimbo, to be a 9-10 win team that occasionally competes for the SEC West. If I am A&M, I am good with that. The SEC helps with that. The problem Texas A&M runs into opposed to the other schools in the SEC is that A&M is competing with UT, TCU, Baylor, Texas Tech, Arkansas and Oklahoma for Texas recruits... not to mention all of the other schools that come in and grab 2 and 3 4*s here and there. It is difficult for a team like A&M or Texas to right the ship with that many hands reaching in your pocket. Both schools have seen it over the past few decades. Both schools have also seen success. Sustainable success within the state of Texas with the large number of recognizable schools gets increasingly difficult for the 2 big dogs at the top each year. They need to find a way to knock TCU and Baylor down a notch and get back to sharing with OU if either school wants a consistent 10 win season like you see out of LSU, Bama, Ohio St etc. I agree to a point, we have all seen Texas get all of the top 5 OL recruits in state when Mack had it rolling on the field and on the trail. At that time, OU was doing well, but Texas wasn’t competing with Baylor and TCU like they are now. Then, you have added A&M to the SEC, which helps SEC schools recruit the state of Texas. It is going to be harder for UT and A&M to load up, but nowhere near impossible. If Texas can get its defense to play proper defense again UT can easily be dominant again like the mid-to-late 2000s.

I’ve already disproven this theory once that the sec is hurting Texas more than it was before. Yes more kids are going to sec schools, but Ohio st is doing the most damage in st probably. Also, ou has a smaller footprint now than they use to to balance the sec schools. It’s a false narrative that it’s easier for sec schools to get Texas kids now because of A&M in the sec. It has more to do with the product A&M and Texas have put on the field than sec schools coming in and taking kids. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would be nice if Whittington would be that guy in the slot catching 7 balls for 80 - 100 and running 5 to 7 times for 50. Are we letting Jake Smith head for the transfer portal? Man, I hope Smith sticks! Ingram is going to make you happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Champ1000 Posted November 14, 2019 Share Posted November 14, 2019 Texas needs to prove a point against Iowa St. Playing in Ames can be tough but a Big 12 Champinship appearance is still possible. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We want winning at Iowa State to be a foregone conclusion, but right now with the results this year we just need to win any way possible to hopefully get it back to the level discussed by you and early in this post. ️️ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt Campbell has done an incredible job of building the program up there, without any POSITIVE tradition and little in the way of big time financial backing comparatively to a lot of the other big time schools they are seeking to compete against. Texas SHOULD win most years based upon talent and $ but it's still a game that's played and there are all the breaks that happen in sports that are exciting and allow for "upsets" week in and week out. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustAFan11 Posted November 14, 2019 Author Share Posted November 14, 2019 Crazy stat I heard on a podcast: Herman has as many wins vs KState in 3 years (3-0) as Mack had in his entire career at Texas (3-7). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
