Ketch's 10 Thoughts From The Weekend (About those vacant positions...)

Ketch,
So you're saying that Daylon decommitted from A&M, A&M followed up with asking Daylon to do them a solid to not visit Texas, and he said yes? WTF?

Hoss100, I also have long been annoyed that Dallas has not drafted many Longhorns, and I'm not as fervent a Cowboy fan as I once was (especially before Jones replaced Murchison as owner, fired Landry, then over-hyped his old Razorback teammate and new coach, Jimmy Johnson). But I became a Cowboy fan at essentially the same time I became a Longhorn fan, in September of 1961 (just after I started third grade), and I don't intend to stop pulling for the Cowboys. Your assertion that a Texas fan can't be a Cowboy fan is ridiculous, and is almost insulting to people like me who have been fans of both teams for over half a century.
I guess Daylon can't see through Sumlin like it is apparent to everyone else, even some ags. Snake oil salesman would be an injustice to all snake oil salesman, he is beneath that. All in it for himself, no care whatsoever for the player. Sumlin and Charlie are such complete opposites as to being decent human beings.

Ketch it was not a catch, the entire process of the catch Bryant was going to the ground, but it doesn't matter as he must maintain possession throughout the entirety of the catch, which he failed to do. It's actually a pretty cut and dry call. Now, from jump street I have said that the rule sucks and should be revised.

And scoring at that point would've fired up the defense! You can't tell me that they weren't pretty deflated after the offense was robbed of what most certainly would've been a TD, one or two plays later.
If we can seriously improve our pass rush for next year, BS rules and/or calls won't matter nearly as much.

Groh & Brewster. That's a pretty persuasive argument Ketch!
Nails on the Dallas theft. That was the Heist of the Century!

what a bunch of crybabies Green Bay 26 Dallas 21 get over it. If Rogers was healthy the packers would have won easily.

Ketch, not sure if you have heard this song but my wife can't get through it without getting glossy-eyed. I enjoy Taylor Swift because I see how happy it makes my daughter (7yo) when one of her songs plays. Not afraid to admit that.

Nice argument, explaining why its "moronic". News flash: just because you don't like a position doesn't mean it's wrong.
Let's hear someone's reasoned argument, involving the point I made: that the Dallas Cowboys franchise has historically snubbed Longhorns in recruiting, relative to other B12 college players. So far all I'm hearing from those who don't like my point is "blah blah blah, that's stupid, and it hewts my feewings because I like them both".

In the aftermath of Ohio State's butt kickings administered to Bama and the Quack Attack, shall we all recall the immortal words of Vince Lombardi who twice handled America's Team when it mattered most? It's about BLOCKING AND TACKLING, people. Period, end of story.
Ohio State won because they owned both sides of the line of scrimmage. Why anyone thought the Ducks and their Smoke and Mirrors show (are you listening out there, Art, you old cry baby) would prevail against a team that dominated Bama on the lines of scrimmage is hard to figure except that we live in a hype-the gimmick world driven by the talking idiots at ESPN who simply fell all over themselves wondering if the Buckeyes from the somehow deficient Big 10 could handle Oregon's tempo.
Tempo doesn't win games. Talent does. Tempo doesn't beat blocking and tackling. Hence Michigan State (a team destroyed by the Buckeyes) beats Crying Art and his cheating Baylor Bear Cubs.
At Texas we should remain optimistic for the future because our Coach believes in Defense and specifically tackling and he's out-recruiting everybody in the Big XII for defensive talent. And he believes in a Pro Style offense. Whether Wickline can coach the line as well as Urban Meyer remains to be seen and whether Watson can coach QB's and offense like Urban Meyer remains to be seen, but Charlie's default position of running a Pro Style Offense is spot on.
Hey, Chip Kelley, how's your gimmick offense doing in the NFL? Not so well.
Saban and Meyer will continue to dominate college football because they know it's about the OL and the DL and being able to run the ball and stretch the field with a vertical passing game.
Take heart, Texas fans. While we are a couple of years away, we have a Coach who gets it.
Hook 'Em!

But at least they wouldve had that chance
If they correctly call that a catch, and then Dallas scores on the next play, Rodgers still likely marches his team down in the 4+ minutes left and scores and the Packers win.

Hell, they might have done it with enough time for Dallas to get the ball back themselves, especially if the refs don't botch the clock situation like they did.
ketch, with all the talk of the new recruits coming in this june and a fair amount this month, im curious to get your thoughts on a few young guys we have coming back that i feel we havnt heard much about, where do you see john bonney, edwin freeman, and eric huhn fitting into the mix next year? i remember liking all three back when they were being recruited, specifically huhn who after redshirting is listed at 6'3 209 at safety. if i recall corrrectly they were all 5.7 3 stars you seem to be fond of, curious if they have potential to be suprise factors for us next year as sophmores?
As I have come to understand the "catch" situation--The rule book requires that a player who catches the ball and begins the process of falling to the ground (FALLING TO THE GROUND) must have control the football all the way through hitting the ground and rolling/stopping movement. If this is not done then it is no catch, no matter what football moves were possible. This is not a regular catch, but when falling to the ground. So, nothing counts if this specific part of the rule is not completed (you can think of it as a prerequisite in this case). The football does move slightly as it touches the ground even though it seems Bryant has"control" of it. It might not seem right, but it is the rule and therefore not a catch by rule; that is why there will be no apology. Don't let your emotions get in the way of your understanding. Write to your congressman.
Ok my wife and I are not Dallas fans. Yeah we are what you would call the opposite of Dallas fans.....As a Longhorn, hate me some Dez Bryant, can't forget what he did to us when he played at TT. Respect his game, still hate him. That being said, Dez caught the ball turned around made two steps and stuck the ball out to cross the goal line. If that's not a football move than I never played football! That call hurt the game of football.
