Just to give some idea of how large Texas is and the distance between teams.
This is data from the 2012 season based on team358.org stats.

Average distance between Michigan teams is roughly 112.902991346 miles
Average distance between Texas teams is roughly 244.666560144 miles

That's a huge difference and a large problem. Even just driving to some of the teams we consider in Greater Houston can take well over an hour without traffic.
By no means is this the only reason for team loss, but it's part of the problem. It's very easy to be isolated in our state.
