Ketch’s 10 Thoughts From The Weekend

Man, I am so bullish on the 2026 Texas football team at the moment. More than anything, I'm incredibly bullish on the talent that Steve Sarkisian, Brandon Harris and the rest of the Texas football ecosystem have put together going into the season. It's not a perfectly constructed college football team in the way that those Georgia and Alabama teams from 2019-2022 produced, but it might be as close to it as we're ever going to see in the modern revenue-sharing age of the sport. It's a good thing that this team is loaded with so much high-end talent because if this team is going to accomplish all of its goals, it's going to do so the hard way.
