No. No, it really isn't. It's a 10. It's always a ten. They have Austin for the kids who wanna party. They have a "family atmosphere" and "clean program" for the kids with uptight parents. They have national titles. They have money out the ass. They have the best facilities in the country. Norman is a crap town in goddamn Oklahoma and College Station has the Dixie Chicken and a bizarre cult filled with dittoheads. It will ALWAYS be easier to recruit to Texas then OU or A&M. Always. Mack and his staff have completely whiffed on evaluations of talent in a number of important cases during Texas's period of decline (just look at their qb play the past few years). It's not that they can't get the best talent, it's that Mack and his staff haven't gone after the right people.
