Ketch’s 10 Thoughts From The Weekend

For all of the voices of reason out there and maybe even the voices of the confrontational unsilent minority (You know who you are!), I think we need to tip our caps and acknowledge the obvious okey-doke that is taking place is front of everyone’s eyes and the entire world around you is acting like everything is just fine when maybe it's not. Day-in and day-out for years, you've listened to yours truly scream bloody murder about the importance of accumulating as many high-level prospects (super blue chips) as possible, consequences be damned ... and now ... in the summer of whatever the hell 2025 has become ... you've got people INCLUDING YOURS TRULY ... telling you that folks should not be getting upset when the Longhorns are on the receiving end of some critical Ls in recruiting. What the hell kind of confirmation bias bull-corn is going on around here?
