Ketch's 10 Thoughts From The Weekend (A lot on the Mind)

I really agree that the high school ratings are way too big a component of the transfer portal ratings

If the player is only a freshman - cool they should be ranked super high

But otherwise that certainly isn't a reflection of how big a transfer they are
I tend to agree.
 
One of your best articles and I will re read

But don’t discuss beard and say the school almost certainly knows it because what the school thinks is why we keep reading

Nobody knows what almost certainly means

Nobody knows on what you rely for that sentence whatever it means

And it is the opposite of we will have to wait months and months

Great read but on the specific issue of where the school stands that was a too vague and should have been qualified
I expect him to be gone before Christmas Eve.

I'm not sure I agree that it was vague.
 
After how the last 13 years have gone, and this program only seeing one national championship in the last 52 years, I think anyone here would gladly sign up for a national title 6 years from now, especially if it is preceded by a string of 10 win seasons.
Hell, I was thinking conference championship.
 
So I am confused @Ketchum

Perhaps more than dreaming big, it's more appropriate that I tell you to party like it's 1999.

Simms and Redding...er... Manning and Hill are definitely worth having a major celebration.

Let's just hope it doesn't take another six years for the championship celebration that is supposed to follow…….


B/S-Our beloved football team will end up in the Big 12 title game next year?

(Buy) Why not? It's hard to know who else will be there at this point.

You said Sark was getting fired in ‘24/‘25…but we can party like it’s 1999 and play in Big 12 Championship next year. How does that work?

Congrats to the volleyball team. The thing i love about them, they play like alpha dogs. Just look at the end of the third set. Shouldn't we expect every single athletic team to play like alpha dogs and take care of business?
It's easier said than done. Otherwise, everyone would do it.

You are a master of no context. Congrats.
 
I know some are thinking that this Beard thing needs to be resolved pronto. I guess I just don't get what the rush is. Obviously it doesn't need to drag out for months, but 2 to 4 weeks wouldn't bother me. Just get it right. Others want Del Conte to make a statement. I don't know what he's supposed to say right now.

a. I'm not sure that anything changes in 2-4 weeks. That's part of the rub.

b. Leaders lead. They don't disappear.

You’re the one who decided a coaches fate 1 3/4 seasons into his tenure. So 2 games and one commit later it’s all roses? That’s the context you speak of??

Yeah but what if they're still trying to sort out Beard's true part in all of this? I'm sure you and others have probably heard more details of what happened last Sunday than most of us here.
If he's guilty then he's most likely gone. His girlfriend didn't have the most stellar reputation among Tech fans when Beard was hired here. I've read different things on that. I hope we at least get to hear his side of the story. I still don't know what Del Conte is supposed to do right now. Hartzell will probably be making the decision.

I'm not sure this goes much further, which would probably be an indication of a lot of things.

@Ketchum talking about the state championship games and you failed to put some damn respect on the Franklin Lions name.

Won 3A Division 2 last year and moved up and won 3A division 1 this year. Was their third straight state title game appearance.

Respect!
