Ketch's 10 Thoughts From the Weekend (40 Qs for Art Briles at Media Day)
- Thread starter Ketchum
- Start date
I'm talking about two separate items. I acknowledge the Zika virus and not comparing that to anything. At all.
What I am comparing are the reports of infrastructure issues at Sochi/Athens/Beijing/Brazil & South Africa(leading to the World Cups) and the water pollution to the air pollution concerns in Beijing. Could be totally wrong, but I'm guessing they will be ok. Please note, that these have nothing to do with the Zika virus.
Philly should lose there team, they just throw there season every year to try and collect talent.
a. I'm not "one reporter from one school".
b. No other writer on this staff is "one reporter from one school".
c. So, you're worried about the discussion of Baylor putting Texas in a negative light? All kinds of irony there. Seems to me that kind of mindset is how this Baylor situation got to where it is now...
what aspect of Longhorn football is left uncovered on this site...
I'd say sticking with two historically bad teams for 33 years, come rain or shine, is exactly right.
It's organic sports loyalty to the max.
They were both around 240 pounds as prospects. As big or bigger than Tony Brackens, Aaron Humphrey, Sergio Kindle, Jackson Jeffcoat, Orakpo, Robison, and Tim Crowder coming out of high school. If you are only going to highly rank athletic defensive ends north of 250 as high school prospects, you might find one a year in the state.
Yea and if 10-12 teams did that every year the nba would chage the draft process. You play the game to win not to build a team. The 76's have plenty of talent more than most they have a new GM and now just need to be coached.
If there can only be one it should come from Texas! Ketch your a glutton for punishment.
Great article ketch.
You covered a lot of ground during time of year when not a lot to report specifically on tx football.
1) interesting points and discussion about history of tweener position. I fantasize about fowler beating the odds and coming in as an unstoppable force that terrorizes qbs blitzing with maleek.
2) glad you brought up how are WR stack up in the conference. I'm in the camp that we have the best group in the conference. Imagine if colt was throwing to these guys? I'm conductor of the Collin Johnson hype train. I think he's a dez/aj/Julio/megatron type talent.

Yeah well that is your opinion, but if someone keeps responding and I still have something to say then I still have something to say. I take by your comment you will not be responding.
I get your points. It would seem prudent and logical other schools would hold the same interest. I'm sure there's a story in there somewhere. My point was if you have 2-3 reporters who are all on staff for a website that covers Texas sports it would seem one school.
No, non of the guys that checked in around 6-3 (at best) and under 240 (at highest) are the same as those other guys.
little more nuanced than that.
Philly boldy decided it would not live in the middle class of the NBA. I supported the decision as a fan.
A lot of the media is comprised of enablers or people who won't dare exit their market for anything.
Unfortunately no. I don't think it matters. They need to burn it to the ground and build it back up. But be careful what you ask for I suppose. Just ask the Philadelphia 76'ers, huh?
I love the little part about you falling for tweeters. It shows that you do your best to put out an accurate and unbiased list. Despite what Aggies say
. It shows that you evaluate your own mistakes to get better. I'm sure being the boss makes it much less stressful to admit mistakes but it sure makes for a good product.

I'd rather be terrible and aiming for greatness than mediocre and accepting of that fate.
A few people are losing sight of the larger point, which is that we should all be wary of weak-side defensive ends with that kind of physical profile.I love the little part about you falling for tweeters.

It's not that some guys can't turn out to be solid, but more times than not (by a lot), those types of prospects have missed and didn't warrant a national top 100 ranking.
History shows that you need to be at least 6-4 and it helps if you have a frame that has already filled out to 240+ heading into college.
Where would Orakpo fall in this discussion. I remember standing by him at the first open freshman practice and thinking that dude couldn't be much over 200lbs.
So Tech, TCU (especially as much as Patterson hates Briles) , ISU, K State OU, OSU, WVU, and Kansas reporters are too scared to ask Briles a question about these cases?
You need to wake up. This story absolutely impacts UT and should be covered just like Ketch and Co are doing. If you don't like it, don't read it, or go to another site. Otherwise, your argument is tiresome.
Wow, that's crazy. But you know those guys better than I do. Will be interesting to see what they do. From the events that are likely to take place before Media Days surely they can't remain silent. I would imagine that wound be a good question to ask them, don't you think? I also believe what helps the story and adujication of what should happen is if it doesn't just come from one school. Don't you agree?
