Ketch's 10 Thoughts From The Weekend: Better buy this kid's stock while there's still some left!

[KoolMoD]

@Ketchum have you done a Beatles list? I'm watching "Yesterday " and seems like that would be quite the challenge...😉👊🏽

 

[Perdy]

I think anyone who watched the game thinks we had plenty of opportunities to win it but didn’t capitalize due to one reason or another
Fumbles and red zone playcalling definitely stick out

Sure, but the idea that Quinn didn't do enough last season doesn't make sense to me. Only 2 teams had better seasons.

From a rating standpoint he had some bad games, he was at a 168 rating or so before Tech and Washington games then it dropped off

Ok, but we finished 3rd. I think that by any almost any measure Texas and Quinn had a great year. I don't understand the negativity.

 

[-BaseballCoach-]

I think OU win streak was 71 not 61. Either way, fvck em.

 

[Bmk1989]

I appreciate the times of prior players, and speculate the wr room is motivated beyond belief to show out in the training. I can’t wait to see who has the best get off speed.

 

[longnhorny]

Oppenheimer is just not an entertaining movie to watch. There, I said it.

 

[mortgagehorn]

Is it fair to even expect the former over the latter at this point?

Texas Baseball should always be elite - period end of story.

It's the AD's job to find the next Gus/Augie.

Anything else is blasphemy.

He wasn’t good enough when it mattered most. A 125 rating in the CFP isn’t going to cut it

 

[Texas_Cubs_Fan]

(Buy) Let's start this week off with a bang. My only hesitation right now might center around Ewers playing in enough games to make it as a Heisman finalist.

Would think Arch playing 6 games and QE as a heisman finalist would be mutually exclusive

 

[edmondhorn2]

Yeah, Quinn has some work to do to become a truly elite QB. He is better than average, but throws a bad deep ball and frequently makes what should be a routine throw an adventure.

Says Charles ran a 4.38 at combine? I always thought he was a 4.3 guy, not sure what he ran at Pro Day

If you didn't think last year was a great season I can't help you.

 

[Ketchum]

I don't understand the logic. You are saying that because we had Worthy and Mitchell we should have beaten a team with Penix, Rome Odunze, Ja'Lynn Polk and Jalen McMillan? In that game the best QB and best receiver were both Huskies.

Were they the best receivers or did they just have the better quarterback?

 

[Ketchum]

It’s a tough one. On one had Pierce’s job is on the line THIS season while RT’s is not. That being said Pierce has some skins on the wall and has shown an ability to do just enough.

Is his job really on the line this season?

 

[Arrogant Assclown]

I should not have drunk so much beer during the '80s, I tried to give Steely Dan credit for Fool (If You Think It's Over). I thought that was my favorite Steely Dan song! Now I am completely lost

 

[Ketchum]

You mean Caitlin Clark?

Yes, that has been corrected.

 

[ERSHorn]

If you didn't think last year was a great season I can't help you.

both of you are right. Quinn underperformed in the playoff and yet it was still a great season

 

[Ketchum]

@Ketchum have you done a Beatles list? I'm watching "Yesterday " and seems like that would be quite the challenge...😉👊🏽

I have. I can't remember when, though.

 

[Ketchum]

Sure, but the idea that Quinn didn't do enough last season doesn't make sense to me. Only 2 teams had better seasons.

He wasn't elite. He hasn't lived up to hs ranking yet.

 

[Ketchum]

From a rating standpoint he had some bad games, he was at a 168 rating or so before Tech and Washington games then it dropped off

He was very steady all season. Most played in the 150-165 range.

He had one game above a 162 rating after 9/23.

 

[Ketchum]

Ok, but we finished 3rd. I think that by any almost any measure Texas and Quinn had a great year. I don't understand the negativity.

You are equating team success with his personal success. If he had been as good as the team, he would have gone pro.

 

[Ketchum]

Oppenheimer is just not an entertaining movie to watch. There, I said it.

I really, really like it.

Except it hans't always been elite. It rarely has in the last 2 decades.

Steely Dan multiple songs that have grown on me over time

The Cuervo Gold
The fine Colombian
Make tonight a wonderful thing
Say it again

The Cuervo Gold
The fine Colombian
Make tonight a wonderful thing

The Cuervo Gold
The fine Colombian
Make tonight a wonderful thing

No we can't dance together
No we can't talk at all

Always makes me smile

As far as Longhorn baseball goes I think we probably finish in the top 25 but it won't be by much IMO, we don't have the pitching.

Not sure what we will get from Witt over the season and LBJ is beatable when going up against top 10-15 teams. No other consistent dominant starter or reliever

Infield and outfield play is solid and a decent hitting team capable of getting hot at times. Looks like a middle of the road season where we can beat a lot of people but not top teams consistently and lose a few we shouldn't.

 

[Ketchum]

Not automatically.

His season wasn't great. He was very good.

 

[Ketchum]

Yes, for the team/program, it was.

 

[iccns]

I doubt any Steely Dan affictionados will agree with your list. It’s the bands fault not yours.
