You're more profitable because you make less gross than us and spend FAR less on your athletes from top to bottom. You NET more money than we do because you SPEND less on you athletes than we do.
We out gross aggy by about 3 million but we spend $61 MILLION more annually on our athletes.
That argument is settled. http://sports.usatoday.com/ncaa/finances/
This link to USA today should clear up any of your misunderstandings.
As to the last 40 years- aggy has been ranked in the AP top 25 a respectable 17 times at the end of the season.
Texas has been ranked 22 times.
Now let's look at the decade specific to 1983-1994. The Jackie sherrill and RC Slocum years-
Mired by NCAA recruiting scandals, sherrill was fire for cheating. http://articles.latimes.com/1988-09-10/sports/sp-1477_1_recruiting-violations
You cheated big time and were caught. So wipe out those wins.
Then in 1994 you spent a year on probation with no TV and no bowl game because RC was just as dirty as Jackie. You had a booster actually PAYING players on his payroll in DALLAS while they were enrolled in college station. And he owned a construction company that was building section 8 housing with funds provided to him by FEDERAL HUD tax dollars. This stupid fvcking aggy was paying aggy players with US tax dollars. https://www.upi.com/Archives/1994/01/05/NCAA-places-Texas-AM-football-program-on-probation/4174757746000/
And btw, aggy was up for the death penalty but was spared only because of how badly it wrecked SMU as a program.
That sucking sound you just heard was all the air leaving your argument.
So in closing.
We make more.
We have more.
We spend more. (We're a non-for profit after all)
We win more.
We get ranked more.
We don't get put on NCAA probation.
We don't commit federal offenses by paying athletes with money designated to build affordable housing for poor people.
We win more and play in more New years bowl games(and all other bowl games)
We have national titles in two different centuries and have won several since the invention of atom bombs, jet airplanes, fuel injection systems, panzer tanks and hula hoops. The Davy Crockett coon skip cap was popular twenty years AFTER your only national title. Think about that.
Ok I'm done with this guy.
Who's next?
Overall Record 1980-2018:
UT : 314 - 157 (win pct 66.66%)
TAMU : 304 - 172 (win pct 63.86%)
Conference Championships 1980-2018:
UT: 4 SWC, 3 Big 12 = 7 total
TAMU: 6 SWC, 1 Big 12 = 7 total
Head to Head 1980-2011: 16-16
So, I guess you are suggesting we just completely ignore the 2000s, and in that way y'alls stats look better (8-2 head to head, 2 conference championships, 2 BCS bowl wins, 1-1 in BCS championship games)? In that case, can we just ignore the 90s for TAMU?
Aggy has become very adept at slicing the pie just right to make the stats look a bit more even. Why stop at the 80s? Oh, because we dominated y'all in the 60s and 70s (16-4) and won 3 national championships (and 11 conference championships - vs aggies 2). You could throw in the 40s and 50s as well but that would just give you 2 wins and a tie.
Do whatever you want to make yourself feel better, but you can't slice this pie in any way to show aggy superiority. It just hasn't happened outside of an isolated and now 20 year old decade, that wasn't even that impressive with 3 top 10 finishes (none top 5) and a lot of bowl losses for aggy.
And let's talk currently, 2010-2018 has been a terrible stretch for Texas Football.
UT: 63 - 52 (54.78% win pct)
TAMU : 76 - 41 (64.95% win pct)
Conference Championships
UT: 0
TAMU: 0
BCS/NY6 Bowl Games:
Texas: 1 (W - Sugar Bowl)
TAMU:0
Yet, aggy is only marginally better and has little to show for it despite catching lightning in a bottle with Johnny Football.
I'll add that the stone age 1939 national title was awarded to Cornell, USC and a&m. It was split and not even unanimous. aggy needs to put an asterisk next to the 1939 National Champions* on their pyle stadium wall, along with the other erroneous/dishonest "championships" they have listed.

Texas could claim an additional 5 championships if they used the same approach as aggy - 1914, 1941, 1968, 1977 and 1981. Glad we don't.
More than that, actually. Other ratings systems have also named Texas the national champion in 1918, 1930, 1945, 1947, 1950, 1964, 1983, and 2008, and possibly other earlier years that I'm forgetting.
Also glad that Texas doesn't claim any of that crap. This retroactive piling up of MNCs is just stupid. It's a recent thing, too (Bama, perhaps the worst offender, didn't claim anything but Bryant's MNCs until after he was dead), and it has accelerated in the last decade or so.

When you have to share a natty with freakin' CORNELL....you should be ashamed....when Cornell actually has a share of more football national championships than you do, well it might be time to rethink your program....
