Ketch's 10 Thoughts From The Weekend (Chris Beard is a bad man...)
- Thread starter Ketchum
- Start date
Going 8-4 would be just more of the same. Losing to less talented teams and getting out coached.
@Ketchum I thought your No. 3 was really well written and spot on in terms of realistic expectations. I certainly hope we exceed expectations but most likely this will take some time. I mean, OU has won "6" conference championships in a row! How many years do we have to go back until we total 6 period. The fact that we consistently recruit anywhere near teams with that track record is testament to our brand and national appeal. It is what makes us great but also a bit delusional at times. Either way, I love being part of this ride and will never jump off. Hook 'em!
Only two? OK two of FB, BsktBall, BaseBall. But what about those other Longhorn teams that were either winners or runnerups. Or waay close. Hook'em. By the way, Ketch, don't put me in the group that only counts the TOP 3 Longhorn Teams as the only ones that are important. :>)
Certainly one of them, my gosh that was a evil laden movie. De Niro and Rourke were greatness.
Most elite programs (those that recruit at the highest level) struggle with this. It’s a good problem to have. This year will be unique because our “one & dones” aren’t Freshmen. They are players that have proven that they can get it done in college @ a high level.
It’s a soap opera that will make you laugh out loud at least once per episode at how ridiculous it is. Like any good soap, it draws you in and compels you to keep watching it despite (or maybe because of) it’s absurdity.
Who has more talent in the Big 12 than Texas? Good coaching is supposed to maximize your roster’s potential. Did we hire a great coaching staff or not? It’s not delusional to expect that. It’s the reason we made the change.
Beard has done a fantastic job of building a decimated roster to a national level contender with proven talent and yet somehow he has messed up…
OB got to OB….
Somewhere along the way, there needs to be something that stands as a "moment".
Sark needs a moment IMO.
It's like a good action movie in the summer. Yes, some of it is contrived, but it's a hell of a lot of fun.
Completely different because those were all recruits and this is mostly a combination of older players.
It's not going to happen. E.J. and OB have a very good relationship, but he's got a different plan in front of him.
Another great call. Probably should have made the list, but I just don't like the movie all that much.
Phoenix is the first team in NBA history shoot 55-percent from three and 60-percent from the floor and lose a playoff game.
'Not a game in the Finals... any playoff game ever.
Crazy.
It's not that he can't take them there. It's that it might not happen in year one.
Are most of these teams really less talented?
I've spent a decade trying to explain to you guys that once you get beyond the top tiers in recruiting, which Texas has only a handful of players from, the talent in a mid-four star, low four star, high three star and mid four star isn't much different when it comes to developing into NFL players.
