I know YOU don't think that.  You've always seemed pretty rational.

I suspect statsman actually does believe it.

No, I don't believe there'd be more UT fans at a Tech game in Lubbock.

At Houston, Dallas, and maybe Ft. Worth? Sure

Didn't you guys win natties in the SWC?  And your '05 Big 12 schedule looks pretty much identical in terms of strength to what you had in your last decade of Big 12 play.  The North sucked ass that year and OU and Aggy were both shitty.  Baylor was old Baylor and OK State was also dog shit.

I don't think Texas is winning because the competition is better.  It probably has more to do with Sark being a damn good coach who doesn't tolerate the shitty culture that had set in (see the bus rant after we beat your ass in '21).

Don't get me wrong, the SEC move is a clear success for Texas, but (pure outsider perspective) I think that has less to do with the SEC and more to do with Texas.

Hypothetical: if Texas created a conference that included TSU, UTSA, Rice, UNT, OSU, OU, Arkansas, and Tulsa, and excluded TT, BU, UH and TCU, how do you think things would look in ten years?

Myself? I think the fortunes of the included would be drastically better and those of the excluded drastically worse. I really don’t think the Left Behinds really bring anything of value to the table. 

If the world were mine every program would play a sleight of say 7 games against their cousins, defined by their most common opponents.  It would never happen, because UT's cousins are OU and the old SWC.
