Question: Does Texas beating L8U mean the Longhorns are “Back”?

Back to being pretty good—but perennially irrelevant within a championship contention context. Longhorn football baby.
To me, no, but it’s a step in the right direction.
Beating OU for the Big2 and other 10 title would have to happen for me to consider them back.

Texas is what Texas is: a perennially underachieving, always on-the-cusp of greatness program that should be elite year in and year out but always seem to step in it once or twice a year and only occasionally backs their way into winning something worth winning.

No.
A traditional power got that way by sustaining championship-level performance consistently over a period of time. If that power fails to live up to its tradition for a meaningful period of time (as Texas has), it must both win a championship that matters, and sustain that level of performance for at least two years to claim to be "back."
Beating LSU, if it happens at all, wouldn't accomplish either thing. It might serve notice that they have the potential to get themselves "back." But it wouldn't get them there.
After our post-Stallings period of darkness, we served notice of potential with the thrashing of Clemson in the 2008 opener. But we weren't truly "back" until we capped off a two-year 24-2 run by winning the 2009 SEC Championship Game. The ensuing Rose Bowl just cemented that feeling.
