Give me a few days, I'm sure the confusion will go away.Really enjoyed this, Ketch. Thanks for the great read! Are you going to be confused as a "pumper" now...? ;-)
along with wax on, wax off and get him a bodybag!@Ketchum what about “sweep the leg”? Top 10 consideration?
He did finish what he started. He had almost 250 touches as a junior, more than twice as many as any other player on his team.A duty of loyalty. Finish what you start. It's not complicated. You can disagree, that's fine.

Never seen it!
Those examples are hardly comparable. This young man finished his junior year. Nothing more. His "announcement" was that he quit. You can massage the verbiage; call it a business decision, give him accolades for his timing, but at day's end, he quit.He did finish what he started. He had almost 250 touches as a junior, more than twice as many as any other player on his team.
He made his announcement more than three months before the season started.
It's not like he quit on his team the way Mack Brown did at UNC or Tom Herman did at UH.... all things most on this board celebrated as anything but selfish and ugly.
It's funny when we use these arbitrary rules and when we don't.
There is ZERO reason for him to risk injury in his senior year. He made a wise and mature decision.He did finish what he started. He had almost 250 touches as a junior, more than twice as many as any other player on his team.

... This is a bigger deal to everyone in this state because it's football, but if this happened to be someone in baseball, basketball, gymnastics or golf, I just can't believe anyone would care that much.
... I'm probably with everyone else that would like to see Jaydon Blue play his senior season, but I have a hard time judging a young man that sees a potential NFL future down the road for himself eliminating a year's worth of physical pounding at the position on the field that takes the most when there's not a ton out there outside of the romanticized value of a senior year in high school. His scholarship is earned. He doesn't play for a program that's going to challenge for a deep playoff run. Realistically, the most important thing he'd accomplish this season was staying healthy if we're going to keep it 100, and this decision accomplishes that mission without any of the pounding taking place.
... Jaydon Blue doesn't owe his high school teammates anything. I'm sorry... he just doesn't. This idea that young athletes are somehow obligated to make life-changing decisions based on what's best for dozens of their peers that don't remotely have to take the same risks is a concept that I simply cannot support. Athletes make decisions for themselves all the time. Caleb Burton didn't stab his old high school teammates in the back by going to Lake Travis.
Not saying that there's not some truth in what was being posted; just that the discussion was so one-sided as to be misleading in it's own right. "Texas doesn't develop players", "Texas doesn't put players in the League", "Texas missed out on the top transfer targets", "TEOT will cost Texas", "Texas QB's are not good enough", "Texas WR's suck", "Texas OL sucks", etc, etc. While some of these issues may be true or at least debatable, it's not the entire story of Texas football in 2021. As you correctly pointed out above, there's plenty to be hopeful about with the Texas football program and it's OK to discuss those things too.to be fair, one person's negative spin is another person's talking about reality, 🤷♂️
I'll put it on my list!Really good movie and great performance by Jack.
I don't feel like many of those are drums I've been beating.Not saying that there's not truth in what was being posted; just that the discussion was so one-sided as to be misleading in it's own right.

No ‘I’m gonna make him an offer he can’t refuse”?
I mean, how is "I'm going to make him an offer he can't refuse" not in the top 10? I mean, that's just dumb.
It's a pretty iconic line.And a line from Harry Met Sally make the list?
It's a pretty iconic line.
Like I said earlier, it's not even my favorite Godfather quote. I agree, though. Objectively, it should be on the list.
Just saw Casey thompson just graduated? Damn, time flies. feel bad for him/respect to him for still being here after all these years. Especially in this day and age
I can't help but wonder how this will translate during his Texas career in regards to playing or missing important games in his Jr yearSJW ketchum thinking Blue is the right thing. He is a teenager finding his way, but with so much potential, no one but money is leading his way. Sad,
There are several from that movie. You're right, this is likely the most quoted, although at our house we often hear the Billy Crystal line "Oh now look who knows so much"For me, I would have a princess bride quote.
I end up using the line “You keep using that word... I do not think it means what you think it means”
Ok, technically that’s two lines so disqualified. Still, one of my favorites
