TAMU has $money$, facilities, traditions, 100,000 fans at home games win or lose, Heisman winners (2), national titles (3), recruits in Top15 every cycle - including 25+ 5-stars to Utah's 0 5-stars, has always been a member of a "power conference" - SWC, Big12, SEC.
If TAMU fans are delusional, they have the history to back it up.
