Ketch's 10 Thoughts From the Weekend (All hell about to break loose)
- Thread starter Ketchum
- Start date
Don't know any other way to ask it.... But is dad a fan??? and if you had to have only one... You take him or BJones?
"From an anticipation standpoint, the meter is pretty maxed out. What awaits is either glory or the ultimate recruiting cautionary tale. Should Strong pull off a top 10-level class for the second straight year, all questions about his recruiting methods will need to be put to bed, as the only question left about Strong at that point will be centered on his ability to actually win games in Austin."
This is a pretty big question, wouldnt you say?

I am not 100% convinced we are going to have an epic finish to the recruiting year that some are projecting, but I will say this.....even though we are currently ranked 48th in the Rivals team ranking, if you reorder the rankings by average recruit (3.38) we are currently in 15-16 range. Just having only 13 commits really hurts our overall ranking.
The framework was written by Jackson Brown and the first two verses, but Glenn Frey's addition was not insignificant. Glenn Frey took "I was sittin' on a corner in Winslow, Arizona" and turned it into:
"I was sittin' on a corner in WInslow, Arizona,
Such a fine site to see,
There's a girl my lord,
In a flat bed Ford,
Slowing down to take a look at me,
Come on baby,
Don't say maybe,
I gotta know if your sweet love is gonna save me"
IMO, Glenn Frey turned a good song into a masterpiece. I love Jackson Browne, but you have to give Glenn Frey plenty of credit for "Take It Easy". Glenn Frey had his quirks, but he was one hell of a songwriter.
There it is, Ketch ... the operative question. That's why I think it was worth it to run the risk and keep Charlie around for another year and, I think, two. If we give him time he's going to crush it. Just needed to figure a couple of things out.
You may need to repeat that several more times in the coming weeks.
Yep. Unfortunately just a few of us bothered to think that in the preceeding 24 months.
Holy hell, that's funny.You might ask his first wife about that.
Maybe Momma wants her $on to play in the $EC.....
but then again, maybe not. I guess we will see very soon
- Signing day will be definitely be a historic day in Texas recruiting history. I'm not sure how any of the coaches sleep between now and signing day.
- It's Cam Newton's world. He's been remarkable with receivers that would be the No. 3 option on most teams. Ted Ginn Jr. couldn't stick with any team throughout his career.
- Carson Palmer had one of the worst performances in the playoffs by a quarterback I've ever seen. I was hoping he would stop throwing the football because it was that bad.

You're wrong. I'd rather be the last thing on the recruits mind going into NSD instead of the first thing so they have time to look at other schools and decommitt. Decommitts are worse then non commits. Decommitts can seriously kill your recruiting class. Ask The ags
Good write up Ketch, you and the staff do great work. I don’t care about soccer either, however I just don' read it, and it doesn’t bother me that it’s there. I don’t understand why it bothers some people. Just go to the next section. I don’t read the music section when that particular genre isn’t my taste either, just skip it.
I thought it was a good movie but I didn't quite get the fuss.
Lots of fail there. From start to finish.
a. Xanax
b. To be fair with Ginn, he's played with quarterback mush for most of his career. He's become a key receiver with a better quarterback...er... the best quarterback.
c. Even Old Yeller was put down...
I don't know why folks won't let us soccer nerds have a little space.
If you go in not expecting some sweeping cinematic spectacle of historic proportion then you will be fine. Again, we enjoyed it for what it was.
Probably Manor coaching staff too with some ex horns on staff, correct?
Possibly disappointed? Looking at your top 5, I've seen The Big Short, Sicario and Creed. It sure as heck wasn't better than the Big Short nor Sicario for me. I'm also much more likely to see Creed multiple times when it's in cable rotation. Revenant not so much. JMO.
Almost as bad as Garrett Gilbert against KSU when he threw 72 pics. Might need to fact check me but it was embarrassingly bad for everyone. KSU fans were almost irate that he was still in there series after series just to throw it to the guys wearing purple. Imagine how we felt. Ahhh, how far we have come as a program from that time...
