Ketch's 10 Thoughts From The Weekend: A Whirlwind of Stuff

[Ketchum]

No need to talk down to paying customers.

I wasn't.,

 

[Ketchum]

And, to think we almost didn't give him a scholarship.

Mrs. T-Sipper 1972

Crazy to think about all these years later.

 

[RLong68]

size of season doesn't matter to me.

Obviously. But not sure that’s your call.

 

[Ketchum]

Obviously. But not sure that’s your call.

definitely not my call

I Heard It on the X is Texas history and my favorite song from that little band from Texas.

 

[UTChE96]

Glad to hear about Worthy. I have a feeling he is going to redeem himself this season and end up a Texas legend.

Hell no on Lamar Jackson

 

[Ketchum]

Hell no on Lamar Jackson

why not?

 

[The Gnome Man]

After further consideration, I’m Bad, I’m Nationwide is too low

 

[Sun Tzu Horn]

why not?

They can franchise him the next two seasons anyway. He isn’t going anywhere.

 

[snoop9928]

why not?

Bc he's not good enough to fix all our issues and losing draft picks would make it even worse

That's why I mentioned the draft picks.

He's an annual MVP candidate

For one season he was. He's gotten worse each year since too. He's talented, but no thanks trading the future for a running qb in the NFL

 

[Uncut Degenerate]

As I've been saying since early December, things are expecting to heat up in the next week on the Portal front.

Expect a couple visitors in this weekend and if everything went as hopes, maybe that number grows to 3-4.

Wide receiver will be one area of focus, without question.

This caught my attention. It appears you know some things.

Nice ZZ list, but I might have to put Fool For Your Stockings in there too. It has one of my favorite lines from them:

“Now I don't mind when you send money
And bring your girlfriends with you
But how could one be so thoughtless
to try and handle less than two?”

 

[tlcdownunder2]

It’s very probable that he'll be the slot receiver for the program unless he's injured or someone takes his job.

 

[HoustonHorn83]

... What's going to happen with Lamar Jackson in the off-season? Texans fans, would you give up the No.2 and two other first round picks to get him?

Good God, no. Because then you have to pay him $200MM at least. And you don't have any kind of roster (or cap space to build a roster) around him. And he doesn't play in December. Take a young QB and build around that guy on a rookie deal.

 

[Sun Tzu Horn]

He's an annual MVP candidate

Then why would Baltimore get rid of him When they can keep him at least 2 more years?

 

[Suchomel]

Waitin’ on the Bus needs to be on that ZZ Top list. Top five.

Rough Boy is a guilty pleasure of mine.

 

[Ketchum]

fair enough

 

[Ketchum]

They don't want to spend that much?

 

[Sun Tzu Horn]

They don't want to spend that much?

But you propose another team with gaping holes not only pay him but give up 3 first round picks?? It’s nonsensical.

Some teams and fan-bases would be ok with paying that much for an MVP-level player at the position.

 

[Kermit68]

Jordan is a hell of a player and Ketch the bottom line is the truth that impacts the bottom line. "Obviously, his numbers would likely have soared with good quarterback play". It is hard to catch what is not thrown to you and Jordan made and makes Texas a much better offense with his presence on the field and we're fortunate that he is coming back.

I agree. He is one hell of a receiver, don’t understand why he didn’t get more touches.

Yeah, that’s just Ketch trying to get a rise outta Houston fans. Mission accomplished. 🙃

Just seems so negative this early on. I'm enjoying this team. You're looking for a new coach with 16 regular season games left. Go get em tiger!

You don’t have to pay attention, but the AD does.

 

[grilly]

Legs over Tush and gimme all your lovin?? Child please…

I don’t see his comments as negative at all. Rodney Terry seems to be a terrific person, but we need a helluva coach with a winning history. Terry just doesn’t fit the need.
