Ketch's 10 Thoughts From the Weekend (Time for the Longhorns to jump into Ludicrous Speed...)

I thought it was fascinating to think about. Wasn't going for the loaded pistol approach.
As others have stated, it gets worse. On Friday, I drop my only child off at TCU for her first year of college. We are very close, especially since she's an only child. I raised her to be fiercely independent and I've told her since she was young that I wanted her to go away for college and have a true experience with new friends and away from her family. The problem is that it worked. While I am excited about her leaving for college (nowhere near as excited as she is), I find myself on the verge of weeping practically every day for the last few days and it's getting worse as Friday approaches. I've been praying daily for God's help to keep me from crying when we actually leave her because I don't want to embarrass her ("Just let me hold it in until we leave the campus...").
Elementary school went quickly, but high school was like a flash. I feel like we just went to freshman orientation and now she's leaving for college. Enjoy your time with them. The best gift you can give them is your time and attention.
Final note: I hate this commercial. It started running a few months ago and it pretty much destroys me every time it comes on, to the point that my daughter teases me when she sees it. The dad's face at the end...damn it.
My kiddo was in Montessori school everyday for 4 years prior to starting Kinder, so it didn’t bother me much at all. In fact, it was really cool going into the “big” school. You’ve just been used to having your kids home all the time. That’s a luxury.
I think he's incredible.. obviously... I'm just saying he didn't go into camp as the No.1 art his position per multiple depth charts found online.
Oh ok. My apologies brother. It was just a different drop off location for me. Haha. Honestly, he’s been so fun over the last few years coming into his own that I’m enjoying all the growth and development.
His uncle is the bouncer/doorman at a fancy hotel rooftop bar on Balboa. Forgot the name
Does this remind anyone else of the Manny Diaz days? I think this kind of defensive formation is stupid.
Try trotting 8 DBs out there against LSU. 
Every other team we play we can probably get by with it, save OU and probably Baylor.

A margarita and I had this completely figured out last night. Being able to "play with anyone" implies having a legitimate chance to win any game against any team. That is what it takes to win championships.
The only step beyond that is actually winning championships. I think we are ready to do that starting this year. But we haven't done it yet.
Being able to beat the best teams on any given day is just a first step in the process.
Mack Brown had teams capable of beating almost anyone from the day he arrived. It takes a little more step-taking before you're elite.

It's a step up .We've been crawling so long that a jog feels wonderful while warming up for the big run
The Walker Little loss was the one that jumped out to me. Ouch. Funny how at the time these things happen there’s a tendency for fans to shrug it off and assume the gap will get filled. You just can’t lose blues, especially up front and expect not to pay for it down the road. Recruiting is a big fvcking deal.
