Ketch's 10 Thoughts From the Weekend (A few apologies need to take place...)
- Thread starter Ketchum
- Start date
We beat Ohio State because of Limas, but there was something about him during his UT career that left you hoping he would deliver and not choke. That is one reason his endzone catch to beat OSU was so cray and such a happy relief. Maybe its that he was late to blossom.

There’s no way. Sweet was fast, but couldn’t get sedation from his defenders and couldn’t break tackles like Collin and LJH. Sweed was typically single covered or played against zone defenses. Plus he played with NFL QBs.
As a sophomore, he was a key starter for a national title winning team.
As a junior, he had a pretty epic season (12 touchdowns and more than 17 yards per reception).
As a senior, he was off to an All-America type of start before the injury.

There's no way that a guy that was a second round NFL talent and scored 20 touchdowns in a shortened career would start?
Come on...
career YPC
Sweed 15.4 (15.1 as a sophomore, 17.4 as a junior and 16.1 as a senior).
Want me to compare?

He is definitely more trouble than he is worth.
What a pain in the ass. (Remember his halftime tweet during TCU game a while back)
I can’t believe this is even being discussed. That’s the discussion closer. If you can’t understand the above you were dropped on your head one too many times.
Damn it. Can’t believe you f-ers have me siding with Ketch.
Looks like North Carolina should have passed that bathroom bill after all.
... NFL fan gonna NFL fan, even if it's a woman.
No. 9 - The List: Top 10 Texas Longhorns wide receivers ...
Do I have Collin Johnson ranked too high or too low or just right?
10. Wane McGarity
9. Mike Adams
8. Collin Johnson
7. Johnny "Lam" Jones
6. Cotton Speyrer
5. Kwame Cavil
4. Limas Sweed
3. Quan Cosby
2. Roy Williams
1. Jordan Shipley
=============================
Would have liked to have seen Lam Jones play in one of the offenses under Mackovic forward. As it was, he played halfback in DKR's last year and was moved to WR by Akers. Now, its hard to say, but I was a student during the same years he was and I would probably put Adams and Johnson ahead of him. He was the 2nd overall draft pick by the Jets, but he would have to be considered an NFL bust.
Honestly, if an Akers era receiver was in the top ten I think you could make almost as much a case for Les Koenning as Lam.
Again, if Lam had played in an offense better suited to his skill, he might have been in the top 5.

I think Sam was relatively solid against Okie Lite. Particularly given he was coming off an injury. That being said, his passer rating is significantly worse in the 2nd half of games than the first. It's significantly worse in the 4th quarter than the other 3. And significantly worse on 3rd down than first and second downs.
Lam is one of three All-America receivers in school history and one of only two that were multiple-time All-Americans.
BJ Johnson has no right to have his name mentioned in the same breath.
My opinion is that you need to analyze the offense before you say Sam needs to play better. He played about as good as possible Saturday night. This offense is nickel and dime and through over the top. Sam will not put up big passing numbers that way.
It's so damn painful, I know.
Its maybe the most disgusted I've ever felt. Or at least 85% as bad as that.
I was talking about Colin.
On Lam, he caught his share of home run balls, but those declined after Earl left. I did not remember that he was All American and frankly I'm surprised by that. I thought he was anything but a complete receiver. I think he dropped almost as many passes as he caught. Again, he would have probably been phenomenal if he had been coached by and played for Mackovic, Brown, or right now.
