Ketch's 10 Thoughts From the Weekend (30 things rolling around in my head about Texas...)

I'm not even sure two titles would do it, but yes, if he runs the table in the next two years, I guess.
a. not impossible, just unlikely.
b. did you think you'd be the first to point that out?
[/QUOTE]Actually, it's impossible. Say Team A gets the ball first:
1) If Team A scores a TD, Team B isn't going to kick a FG because they'd automatically lose.
2) If Team A kicks a FG and then Team B scores a TD, Team B isn't going to kick the PAT because the game is already over.
Truth. Both were great. Actually, the top 5 was pretty great almost all the time.
While a bit of an apples to oranges comparison d/t eras here there their numbers from '84 and '09, respectively:
Gray - 103 tackles (88 solo/15 assist). 7 picks for 67 yds, 7 PBUs, 1 FF and 3 FR (recoveries).
Thomas - 77 (50/27). 8 picks for 149 yds. 16 PBUs. 1 FF.
I can see a strong argument for either one. I would lean a bit to Thomas.

Makes it severely unlikely, but not impossible.
Certainly King is another example of Tom Herman and staff having an excellent eye for talent. And "fit" was exactly my point. King fit Herman's system because he's a first-rate passer along with being a dynamic runner. He's just short. If Roschon Johnson turns out to be as good a passer as King, he will be a perfect fit.
William Graham, best tackler in history of Texas DBs, and Ray Clayborn need to be about numbers 5 and 6 on the list.
Definitely strong cases for both. Gray had one less pick in a 1984 conference that just didn't throw much, but, by the same token, that probably helped his tackle numbers.
Man, you crazy. If Sam ran off two titles, he would easily unseat Vince in folklore. The Charlie Strong years to 2x titles.....that guy could name his price in Austin for the rest of his life.
Love Babers and Ross but if we are talking coverage skills they do not belong on this list. Agree that Earl Thomas' last year at Texas was most impressive ever by a DB.
---I'd add Raymond Clayborn .hard to only pick 10,but Clayborn was better the a couple on the list-and it's a damn good list @Ketchum
He was an All American , a first round pick,a Pro Bowler , an All Pro , a member of the Patriots HOF and he did the same kind of stuff as a Longhorn as you see in the video. He was a bad ass and i was happy to see him play.

BUY or SELL: David Beaty is a Longhorn coach next season?
(Buy) He hasn't been hired by anyone else at this point and I don't believe in accidents.
Ketch, what do you think we are waiting for?

A strong showing for Angleton with Jammer, potentially Foster and then Diggs with a good career too
On your list of great Texas defensive backs, you have to find spots for Ricky Churchman and Raymond Claiborne. And no Super Bill Bradley? Hmmmm.
Clayborn and he said you had to be am All American to make the cut.Raymond should definitely be on the list
VY is not only the GOAT in UT history, but arguably in CFB history. It’s unlikely that Sam or any UT QB to follow will supplant VY as the GOAT at Texas.
But for you to even speculate on a scenario that Ehlinger leads Texas to a National Title is nice to see. Has Sam finally won you over?
My eyes tell me that he could hang the moon and he wasn't better than VY.
"6. Ingram ended his season averaging 5.0 yards per carry and 6.3 yards per catch, numbers that suggest getting a big-time running back prospect in this class was a bigger priority than it might have looked like in October. It's hard to know right now just how much of a workload Ingram can handle at this level."
I've said this and I have said this all along, in order for this Football program to take the next step it needs to get a bluechip running back to take up to the next level where UT is competing for big 12 and national championships.

I still think Ingram can go a long way to filling the shoes of that role, but he ran out of gas.
Well, I'm not a fan of that news. Beatty should be on this staff for recruiting period. I am also ready to move on from Drayton, but I don't make the calls. I'll sit back, over analyse and trust in Herman.
Nothing official or something that we'd "officially" report, but it's the sense we have.
