You want to talk about building a real program? Let me tell you about building a real program. We had a coach here, Warren Powers, who built something with players who bled black and gold. But that was a different era. You're living in a fantasy if you think you can win today without using every tool available. I watched the Big 8 become the Big 12 and now that's gone too, all the rivalries I loved. The game has changed, son. If Oklahoma State is bringing in 50 guys through the portal, more power to them. We used to complain about Texas just buying recruiting classes, now everyone has a price tag with NIL. It's an arms race. I hate what the portal has done to loyalty, but you can't just sit on the porch and yell at the clouds. You have to compete. If those Lobos of yours aren't using the portal aggressively, you'll be watching the Cowboys in a better bowl game, just like we used to watch Nebraska and Oklahoma in the Orange Bowl while we settled for the less prestigious ones. Chemistry? Please. Winning builds chemistry. Losing builds excuses. I'd rather have a messy team of talented transfers fighting for a conference title than a "close-knit" group going 5-7. Ask any old-timer who sat through the 80s, you take the talent and figure the rest out later.
