Ketch's 10 Thoughts From The Weekend (Blue vs. Baxter... it's kind of a thing)
- Thread starter Ketchum
- Start date
How many WRs does Texas take if DK, Lockett, French, Marsh, and Harris all want in? Good problem to have.
Moore and Ffrench are in, and then it might jsut be first two to commit out of that group.
Both backs are very good. I agree that both will play and it may be a 1a 1b scenario. My biggest concern is how easily it seems that Baxter is injury prone. Even the slightest bump and he gets replaced. I could be reading too much into that. I hope they both have a great year🤘🏻💪😊
I wish Sark would have both Blue and Baxter lined up behind Ewers. Defenses would be very worried. I would like to see a few long drives where we are just killing them.
Great write-up as usual. We're seeing the same thing, give me Blue >> Baxter, just much more speed, better balance, better vision and better pass-catching.
But 7'4" Edey vs 7'2" Clingan, John Wooden's alma mater in first national championship since 1969 and a well known basketball school from Indiana vs a Danny "ass on fire" Hurley UConn team going for back-to-back championships is not better? Totally disagree. Very excited for tomorrow night!
Nice Blue/Baxter stuff and I’m a Blue guy although I’m also an Al Davis “just win baby,” guy but you didn’t mention the Blue fumble in the Washington game that was every bit as costly as Baxter.
True. I didn't mention it because Washington didn't get points directly from it, but that's fair.
I think this explains all his moves with Baxter to this point. Sark wants to prove he will play talented 5⭐️s early to send a message to recruits.
Just enough to know he isn’t a HOFer. Just enough to know the Terrell Davis comparison is a bit silly.
Terrell Davis is a metaphor for a truly great player that has a short window of elite level play.
and Sark will determine that game by game and by situation within the game. your Baxter vs. Blue comment makes it sound like Sark's spring practices are nothing more that a brawl for playing time. not so. compete yes but not cause rifts between players by needlessly making them enemies.
As is Earl Campbell. The HOF worthiness of either was easy to see.
Davis got into the HOF imo because of the titles. I wondered if 2019 did that for SS.
I think most of us know Blue is currently the better back and that Sark has a man crush on Baxter. But who knows, maybe we just haven’t seen enough healthy Baxter yet.
No idea what you’re talking about.
Why would I want a rift between players and where did I even allude to that?
You blaming ketch for the same thing?
Go listen to the 3rd & Longhorn podcast on YouTube with Jaydon Blue. He was asked about not CJ starting over him. He said" CJ is a dog and one of my best friends..we compliment each other in the backfield" he said the whole RB room are all really close. I don't think they're causing them to be enemies one bit. Blue knows it's his time and he will get a lot of touches and take advantage of every opportunity he gets.
To each, his own my friend.
I watched the Iowa-LSU women's tournament game too. While the drama between LSU (Mulkey and Reese) vs Clark was compelling enough for me twatune in for the 2nd half of the game, the play didn't inspire WOW vs what I look forward to on Monday night for Purdue/UConn.
