The state of Texas is stocked full of recruits. Now Texas is in the SEC if they start cherry picking the top recruits they will be a tough out. So because of available talent I look for Texas to do well in their new home.
Texas has had all those people and all that talent - and all that money - for all these years.
And they've still been nothing more than Auburn.
Yes - Auburn.
In fact, Texas despite:
a) being the state axis program (like Alabama)
b) having 6 times as many people
c) playing in a much less challenging conference(s)
d) having all that money and pushing conferences around like a barroom brawler..
has been LESS SUCCESSFUL than Auburn since 1987 (David McWilliams's first year);
Texas 280-144-2 (.657, one national championship)
Auburn 292-147-5 (.658, one national championship)
In fact, you can take this back a number of years prior to 1987 and Auburn will still have the better record against tougher competition.
What I'm saying is that Texas THINKS they're in the Alabama group of teams historically - but at least for four decades, they've been Less Than Auburn. And with zero due respect to Auburn, they're nowhere close to Blue Blood status.
As far as Oklahoma, because SEC teams will hit The state of Texas hard for talent. Oklahoma may have a harder time getting top level talent from there. I look for Oklahoma to struggle some in the SEC. They can’t be very successful just recruiting the state of Oklahoma. There are not enough players. I’m
Texas couldn't win when they whined and crippled every other team in the SWC.
Take away the Vince Young years from them and they're basically Dooley's UGA team without Herschel.
Human nature isn't going to be changed.
They'll still find a way to screw it up.
They are the Stacks Edwards of the SEC mafia family.
