Son, I was watching TCU football when your program was still figuring out how to put cleats on. We built men like LaDainian Tomlinson and Andy Dalton through development, not a shopping spree. You talk about identity, but real identity is forged in the Cotton Bowl against Texas, not in some transfer portal queue. Your "Lakers way" sounds nice until you remember we're the ones who actually won a Rose Bowl and played for a national title by adapting. The game changed, and clinging to the past is how rivalries like the Southwest Conference died.
