Ketch's 10 Thoughts From the Weekend (About Vernon Broughton...)
- Thread starter Ketchum
- Start date
Not necessarily a "fraud". I just don't think you're up for conversation of GOAT, imo, if 2/3rds of your titles have come from one particular surface that most people in the world don't grow up playing on.
I think Djokovic destroys his and Federer's records in the next few years anyway, so the conversation will probably sort itself out.
Selfish, nah. I love Tom Landry too, but his career should be much more celebrated by the University based on its merits. I know what you meant though. Thanks for carrying the flag.
The Revrend was kind of an annoyance the first time thru Deadwood. The second time he became one of my favorite characters.
Ketch you might try the one season of HBO's Vinyl with Bobby Cannavale, Olivia Wilde and Juno Temple. It's not quite Deadwood or GOT but a very good watch.

Thanks for the nomination. I like Cannavale and Temple, so that's a good place to start.
Your probably right percentage wise. I live in Port Neches Jamal was from Port Arthur I’ve had the pleasure to meet him twice and he really is a great person. He’s relatively current still and could relate to young men. Jamal was just a name to discuss, he has overcome a lot in his life.
Everybody on this board knows the struggles of Stan and it’s hard to imagine with the improvement we showed last year coupled with the incoming recruiting classes we have coming in, the facilities, the money we spend and our history of running backs we should be struggling. Jamal was just a thought.

Agree with this completely @Ketchum (on the long overdue celebration of Tom Landry)
Seems like a celebration at a Veterans Day weekend game would make the most sense.
Could have his family present, do a tribute to him and have the former special forces player (who’s name is escaping me) participate and represent player Veterans as well.
I also have a theory that Landry and the Cowboys contributed to the minimizing the association for financial reasons and accept that it may be off base.
I always wondered if pushing the link between Coach Landry and the Longhorns, while he was actively coaching, may have been seen as threat to making Dallas America’s team. A significant number of college fan bases in and out of the state hated the longhorns. So it may have prevented folks in Arkansas, Oklahoma or Aggy Fans from being Cowboys fans. And most of those two states and three fan bases were predomanatly Dallas fans during his best years. Kind of like MJ never wanted to take a political stance that would hurt Air Jordan shoe sales, maybe staying silent on this association was more on Dallas and that UT was respecting that stance and never saw the value of pushing it. If Landry was not interested or was asked by Tex Schram or others to focus on others, that could explain the situation.
As said, this my be off base and I have no research or facts to support the theory.

Great match yesterday- but I assume Ketch is too young to recall Borg vs. McEnroe when he states best Wimbledon match ever
Pretty much, but I think most historians list the Nadal/Federer final ahead of it. Too early to say for sure how we'll remember yesterday.
As I stated earlier in the thread, it turns out that I have 1,500 other things on my agenda, both today and this week. It's why I hire people to serve as my proxy.
Last!
Watching that Greg Brown video.... just thought of Nick Nolte recruiting Shaq. Kid is gonna have bills flashing
