Ketch's 10 Thoughts From the Weekend (Buechele has the higher ground)
- Thread starter Ketchum
- Start date
Not sure. I just did a search on "slap yourself in the face gifs"
I've had a running bet with myself for a while since I had a kid. Which would happen first? I would get some sleep in my house or Texas would have two good QBs fighting it out to lead the team. Is that light I see?
All I got outta this was that Ketch believes we have the 5th best QB in the Big12 and he is not even the starter yet and has throw only in practice. This is either one terrible league of qb's (entirely possible) or he really believes we may have something here in Shane. I certainly didn't expect to see you even attempt to rank a kid that has only been in practice so far. I like that someone believes there is hope at the qb position. So so many months before we know anything. I do like that the offense is more catered to what he does well. If he's the 5th best QB, we can win 7 to 8 games. So much fun! This has been such a torturous team to follow for 6 years. Thanks for the optimism.
Ketch, with your statements about 4 carry Malcolm Brown, I am surprised you are accusing me of spinning anything. At least my "spin" deals with a possible future, as yet, unknown to us. Your's is in direct contradiction to what has happened in the very recent past.

Ketchum don't fear the multi-quote.
I like to give everyone their own special reply. I don't want to treat you like some shared meal.
I'll never forget the Nebraska game in Lincoln in 1997. Nebraska lined up in the I to run the ball down our throats, and lo and behold, after 15 years of suckitude, our two monster, future Pro bowl NFL tackles, stuffed them. and then Ricky started bouncing off of and bursting through people..cool day!
It's like a video of those babies that get glasses for the first time and are able to see their parents.
Yes! I feel like I haven't slept or seen a decent QB since Pasadena. Pass the glasses.
Man, those three sentences just ruined everything for you, right?
The boxing, MMA and NBA weren't issues.
Haha Nah I'm just trolling...do your thing Ketch
All this talk about the ypc is besides the point. I agree it's hardly a large sample. But Ketch made a better point with Brown ending up on the 53 rostet. He made the squad and has been productive in a limited role. So, no bust label, and perhaps was over looked as well.
If memory serves, Redding was a DE for that line, and at one point all three Rogers, Hampton and Redding became the league's highest paid DTs. Funny to remember that Redding was a LB coming out of HS. He ate his way to a pretty big payday.
I wouldn't say that. Thornton arrived a year after Redding. Redding was a backup DE in '99 (Woodard and Hump were the starters) then slid into starting role in '00 alongside Hamp and Shaun who were gone after that season. But Thornton did play a lot alongside them in his one year with them.
Not sure when we'll see another Jamaal. However, "third year" or not, the truth is that Shipley hadn't even stepped on the field in either year d/t injuries. He was very much Bigfoot heading into the '06 season.
Thornton started every game in 2000, I believe, or almost every game. Basically, they played the same amount.
Shipley was the best wide receiver on campus from 2004 on, his injury status didn't change that.
Ok, let's not rewrite history. We're talking a guy who had a major knee injury his first year. Then torn a hamstring or whatever his second season. Then after 2 years of finally being healthy his combined numbers were 43 catches for 600+ yards. IMO you are being a little intellectually dishonest at this point. Nobody was projecting Shipley in '06 to put up numbers like he did in '08 and '09.
I'm not rewriting anything. Shipley would have been a true freshman starter in 2004 had he been healthy. He would have started on the 2005 team.
Considering I covered every single off-season work out and practice back then because it was allowed, I know what I'm talking about.
