Ketch's 10 Thoughts From the Weekend (12 days that changed Texas football forever)

I remember you distinguishing that was Jason's opinion, and you didn't agree with it.
Amen on this bamahorn1. Emphasis on TOP Texas HS talent - it has been a while since we have been able to claim this - and I am old enough to remember the days when UT ruled the recruiting waves in the State of Texas. When you get the TOP tier of talent it sure will make you look good as a coach. Hook Em.
I don't know about the rest of you folks, but I am trying my best to contain my enthusiasm - I'm downright giddy about the possibilities. It is sooooo much nicer when you are posting and reading and wondering what good things are in store for us, versus sitting in front of the computer depressed as hell with no answers to the questions about our program that are screaming in your head. Hook Em.
It's easy to say that everything was always under control in retrospect, but it was the nancies who helped make sure that UT didn't mess up.
Freakin exactly right! My in-laws (Alabama die hards) weren't interested in why I was glued to OB Thanksgiving night, freaking out with everyone else while I simultaneously enjoyed watching aggy's dismantling, but man what a stressful night! Thanks for your staff's comittment and hard work! I believe better days for Longhorn Football lie a head. Go get 'em Tom! Hook 'em!
We do not need to go to a bowl game. Number 1 we do not deserve it, number 2 we would not be prepared. Just let the dust settle.
I hope he stays in college. I have seen a lot of great running back in my day, and I think he is in the top 3 best I have ever seen. As far as I am concerned, he is a Heisman Trophy winner.
Couldn't agree with you more. Need "our boys" to stay home, and get us back as a top tier program...
I hate watching half of these other programs composed of Texasplayers. Bring 'em home Tom!
No one has emerged from the all-weekend rage of a Toga party.
That one might take some time. Taking from other programs doesn't come without a few hurdles.
Ketch,
Any reason to not go back after Cumbie for OC? It seemed like stability was the concern last time, and clearly for good reason.

I think he will come, but assistant coaches usually don't up and move that quickly. It's not even December yet. This staff probably won't be fully complete for a few more weeks and what Houston decides at HC will impact that as well.
I think Meachum is the guy to get IMO. Ultimately, look for someone that has some sort of connection to Herman.
Agreed. There's no sense in refreshing the page every 5 minutes right now. The coaching staff likely won't be fully assembled for a few more weeks when teams get done with their bowl games, and often coaches don't leave until after signing day.
Tom Herman is coach at Texas. That's the biggest fish in the boat right now.
I agree. I'm just excited about the possibility like everyone else. Brewster would be a home run hire. I'm curious if he were brought on board, would he be able to carry over some of his Florida connections he has developed. I assume he has built up more connections in the Southeast that he could combine with his old Texas ones. One thing I loved about Charlie was his ability and inclination to go outside of Texas for bit time recruits.
Ketch and OB Staff
Great job and a great summary write up. This was hell getting through this. I was never happy with the CS hire and many of us realized halfway through TH's 1st season at UH that he was the guy. I live in Houston and maybe I saw more than the average fan but always knew this was the guy.
Please forgive all of us for not trusting a Berkeley professor and a lawyer to make the right decision. The TGiving blowup made the needle move, apparently!!! It needs a nickname like the Red Banquet.
Now we can start to have fun again being a Texas fan.
Great Site/Business and I appreciate you guys.
