Ketch's 10 Thoughts From the Weekend (3 things Shane can do to be like Colt)

Must be nice to simply disregard 4 whole seasons in order to bolster an argument. I mean, I guess I coukd argue that Charlie's first 2 years don't count because he inherited a program put together by a HC who didn't bother to work the preceeding 4 years.
but that would be lazy
 
how in the world could you possibly make that statement at this point?

I'm not sure how one can't reasonably argue that as true frosh Buechele is the better of the 2. Shane played against vastly superior comp coming in. I also believe he's physically better at the same stage. I also saw a guy in the spring game make throws with velocity that Colt certainly didn't have at the same. And while one play the "film room rat" card for Colt against a lot of guys, it's pretty much a given that it doesn't work against Buechele. Then there is Buechele's upbringing by a longtime professional athlete. Honestly, as true frosh it's not real cLose. And I think while Buechele might not have the raw numbers his first season as Colt, I think heis going to really shine particularly when factor in the somewhat weaker supporting cast. I'm on the Buechele train. I suggest you not get left at the station.
 
Re Sumlin as Aggy HC, better the devil you know than the devil you don't. Want nothing more than to see Sumlin remain at Aggy for the term of his contract and then multiple extensions afterwards. Aggy is stuck in reverse and going absolutely nowhere.
Yup, Herman waiting in the wings to take over that train wreck.
 
Anyone else notice the text get smaller? Page 1-3 was fine, but starting on page 4 it seems the font dropped 2 or 4 sizes.

Fix please!

"As a Cowboys fan, I’m already resigned to the fact that 2016 is going to be painful. I see very little reason for hope."

Ketch, to your knowledge, does Rolando McClain have naked pictures of Jerry? If ever a guy was trying to get cut it's RM. He's virtually the only notable player that didn't work out with the team. He shows up to mini-camp out of shape. The coaches were furious. He gets suspended for 10 games. He no shows to the team flight and apparently is AWOL.

AND STILL.... He remains on the roster. Based on what I've inferred from various readings, Jerry is the reason they don't cut him. When the league announced he was suspended for 10 games, the Cowboys should've cut him 5 minutes later. But they didn't because they have an incompetent, narcissistic, ego-maniacal fool for a General Manager.

I've been a die hard Cowboys fans since 1992, and frankly I'm almost at a my breaking point. They'll never win I'm afraid as long as that man runs this organization the way he does. Stephen needs to take the car keys away from the old man. Garrett should show some balls every so often and publicly voice his displeasure ala Bill Parcells (groceries). Enough is enough!
Ive been a die hard fan since before the ice bowl with Green Bay (got my ass whooped by my dad for throwing a fit after Starr scored). So the Jerry tenure , since adding TO have been, have been gut wrenching. I simply can't watch them.

Beats Ames.

That's an extremely low bar. Even Lubbock beats Ames, and Lubbock seriously sucks as a place to visit. Norman, outside of the stadium, is a barf town. Waco is a shit hole, and that's before you consider that they are a moral cesspool as well.

UConn and Cinn may not be good adds to the B12 in many ways, but at least they would be road trips you would consider making once in a while, like WVa, where you get to go to Pittsburgh. UCF would be a great road trip.

Beats every outpost in this ugly outpost conference, not including Austin.

You could insert Garrett Gilbert for Buechelle in your post and it would be identical to what posters were saying in the summer of 2010..you need to slow your roll, chief.

I'm not comparing '16 Buechele to '08 or not '09 Colt which is what @Ketchum famously did. And pardon me, but I think many of us would be frankly stunned if Buechele turned out to be as mentally weak as Gilbert was. No reason to slow a roll. I think at the same point in their respective careers, Buechele is the better QB.

I'm about as indifferent as it gets. I'm almost at the point where I just don't care anymore. It pains me to say it.

I compared stats from big games. I infamously said that Gilbert would be better and post better numbers against OU, Nebraska and Texas Tech (there's another game that I'm forgetting) than Colt did in 2009.

Ironically, I was right about that.

Ft Worth is a pretty fun place to visit, though most Texans are bored with it.

Stillwater is the quintessential college town, that's a pretty campus and has some fun places to eat and drink for a weekend. Homecoming there is pretty fantastic actually.

But yeah, the B12 is full of ugly.

Lawrence is the best college town north of the Red River in the league IMO.

a. I think Burt or Collin Johnson would/could have started on that 2005 team. Jordan would have started as a freshman in 2004.

b. I think the redshirt season advantage from Colt is somewhat washed away by the early arrival of Buechele this spring. Other than scout team work and suiting up for games, it wasn't a major advantage IMO.
Not only is it washed away by Buechele being an early enrollee but the as has been stated, the difference between the competition they faced in HS is tremendous. Buechele was playing against guys like Edwin Freeman and Myles Garrett as a sophomore. Colt didn't see that type of talent until he got to UT.
