Ketch's 10 Thoughts From The Weekend (On The Eyes of Texas)
In this week's 10 Thoughts From The Weekend, the focus is on the thing that matters most - The Eyes of Texas.
I think Ketch finally gets it

- Start date
Oh, I agree...just saying that he'll catch some flack because he isn't falling in line with the angry crowd.
This is going to be another semi-rebuild.
1. I think Herman gets fired after the next loss. We can't wait because we need to re-build the 2021 and 2022 classes.
2. Someone is going to have to clean out the SJW rotgut by drawing a line in the sand. The losses will be substantial but it needs to be done.
3. Meyer steps in and uses the portal to fill the holes.
4. Bag men get busy. We start banking top 5 classes.

I was perusing the tv yesterday and came across Herman’s coaches show and his Monday press conference on the LHN. Apparently there has been a commission formed by UT to determine the origins and meanings of the Eyes of Texas. Also Herman was pointing out that teams didn’t go through spring practice etc due to covid so installing a new system on offense and defense has been difficult.
I said before the season started that I don’t see any coaches getting fired this year simply due to what I stated above. Covid bought some coaches at least another year imo.

Herman needs to get to the Big 12 Title game at the VERY least. 2 more losses and he is toast.
The race baiters and a handful of ex-players on twitter are pushing the "hold him to the same standard as Strong..." narrative.
It is such a volatile thing man. Crazy stuff.
Well, I can see their point, I agree Strong didn’t get Enough time. Would y’all consider bringing him back?
I don't see their point at all. If Texas doesn't lose to Kansas and goes 6-6 and gets into a bowl game year 3, he gets another year. If hey beat Kansas, maybe they don't lay an egg at home vs. TCU and go 7-5. That would've built real momentum into year 4. I was a fan of the hire. I was on board with Charlie until the West Virginia loss at home that year. And then he goes to USF and it only takes 3 years to run that program into the ground. He lost his mojo. Darn shame too because he is the kind of guy you root for.
LOL, I think you know the answer to your question Bell. Do you also think John Blake didn't get enough time? He only got 3 years, all 3 losing seasons.
The fire is about to spread to CDC's office. Read my post from Nahlin. The BMD's are not happy with CDC.
strong got enough time. when you know it's going backwards, you make the change, whether it's day 1 or 1000. it had been 3 years of awfulness. herman has at least had his moments; strong, aside from flash in the pan games, had none. he did, however, behave as an adult, all the way to the bitter end. it can always be maintained that strong was a class act. not so much with tommy
Agree 1000%.
Maybe the next coach can behave like an adult AND win football games.
Please don't troll dude. There's enough going wrong in this world right now to have to take the time to stop trolling as well. You know the answer to that.
Tom stepped on all the questions. He didn't answer a single one. Just talked in circles. He's done and he knows it. We all know it.
I agree with the former players that Tom needs to be held to the same standard that Strong was held to.
Austin is soft. UT Austin is soft. The Texas Longhorns are soft. Expectations are low within the Administration's circle of influence. They don't care about football. They want to be Berkely.
When I was in high school, undisciplined players earned a place on the bench.
No one disrespected a coach.
We could be required to do "extra" football drills which resulted in vomiting if we screwed up on the field.
If we were tardy to class, it earned us 2 licks with a paddle. The coach's paddle was in the athletics field house where no one could hear the beatings. The paddle was a wooden sawed down the middle Easton baseball bat. There were serious repercussions for screw ups.
I am going to stay out of politics but some people are permissive of failure and some aren't.
Herman has never heard of disciplining a player for dumb penanlties.... Need I say more?

“Herman said Monday that Texas is at a “crossroads.”” Re: Eyes of Texas song and players opting out on singing it.
Oh okay so a 4 year head coach is now going to tell us how we must act? He can go to hell in a burning hand basket and so can the woke dumb players who believe such garbage about our song being racist. Unreal this guy. Fire his butt now!!

Herman needs to go but I do understand how the black players make the link to racist overtones on the EOT. Do I like it, no. Do I understand, yes.
How exactly do they link it? What evidence is there of it being racist? Someone heard it was used in a minstrel show at some time and place long ago ? That is evidence ? Yelling untrue statements doesn’t make the statements true. Like “hands up don’t shoot” was a total lie but people still say it.
It's the idea of needing to be watched. No trust. It is what it is. The South is watching what they do, etc.... I'm conveying what I have read.
Huh I see. So they lack reading comprehension skills. They fail to realize it is their Eyes and the eyes of Texas fans. They are simple Idiots. You can’t argue with idiots because they are unable to cognitively think. Like arguing with a brick wall.
So just curious were you this upset when Mack asked fans to get there early and stay late? Basically telling you what to do. I’ve been told our fans leave early so that pretty much means they don’t sing the Eyes either?
If they sing or not makes no difference we’re a losing program and have been since the end of the Mack era. They were singing it until this year.
Was Mack disparaging our freaking school fight song we all love? Was Mack telling us that we need to change because some activist made up some bs about our school being racist for this or that? Seriously?
Texas has always had a late arriving crowd and many don't come back to their seats after halftime, and/or leave before the end of the game. However, those that do stay, and every last person in the stands puts up their Horns and sings The Eyes. That is the difference between what has always been done and the woke, disrespectful, PC people today. Your analogy isn't accurate at all.
Huh? When did that start? Under DKR and Akers everyone got there early and stayed late. Generally, the student section was too drunk to leave.
My assumption is that with Austin’s growth fans don’t want to sit in traffic and that’s more important than singing the Eye’s. Just a guess. Sounds pretty disrespectful to me as well but hey pick and choose right.
Well ya, we did drink a lot of bourbon at the games. I would think that over the last 30 years Texas has had a lot of losses. From my experience, people get pissed and leave. Better times at the after party. Sadly, Texas is losing a lot of fans atm. The damage is real. I am getting numb to it.
here's what happened. a bunch of people started running around and tearing up and burning things in the name of "justice". then a bunch of people saw that those in power were not only not stopping such behavior, but they were also willing to placate those that were doing the damage. so some more people deemed some stuff really really racist. and they were placated. and eventually-- and likely inevitably-- it reached austin. and those in austin with a similar leftist tint convinced some impressionable young men that BY GOD SOMETHING MUST BE DONE NOW! and they fell for it. why? because the people in minneapolis were crying for justice and getting to tear things up, and the people in portland were crying for justice and getting to tear things up, and the people in nyc were crying for justice and getting to tear things up, and BY GOD WE WANT TO CRY JUSTICE AND TEAR THINGS UP TOO!!!
that's frankly what all the rioting and looting and statue destroying was about. they didn't really have a problem with abraham lincoln-- good grief, how in their right minds really could? but the people in that town over there cried about CHANGE or JUSTICE and got to tear down some statues and get some buildings to change their names. and since that town got to do it, they wanted to do it too. that's it.
this is what the kids on the football team at UT got to change. in the name of "justice". yeah, okay
In high school, I only witnessed 2 teammates getting swats (for cutting through a yard on one of our distance runs during off-season football. Otherwise, we respected our coaches and were fearful of the consequences of screwing up. And the "2nd consequences" from our parents. Of course this was back in the day.
