Ketch's 10 Thoughts From the Weekend (Eddie Reese is UT's GOAT)
- Thread starter Ketchum
- Start date
It was just a wise-crack, used to display the long odds that the Longhorns face tonight.
OU recruits a lot better in the Metroplex than it does in Houston and SE Texas. The pool of top prospects from DFW was uncharacteristically smaller last year, which could account for the Sooners' lack of recruiting success in Texas. With a greater preponderence of top prospects in the Metroplex this year, OU appears to be doing well early.
Young player sure...never have been in favor of starting ANY true fish at QB. I'd rather see a redshirt than shattered confidence and/or injury. One of those two always seems to be an almost guaranteed result. As bad as Swoopes/Heard have been, I'm not believing a fish Buechele has a better record for this team. Might as well save him and clinch cheeks for one more season.
I'm still holding out hope Gilbert can swing one of them out of this funk.
Fair enough. Just seemed like a silly question considering how we played last season.
Ok, except Reese's resume blows away DKR's in basically every way possible, except it's not football.
You can't get in this year unless your program has been in trouble for breaking the rules.
It was more than selection on their part. They flunked the test a year ago, but they seem to have crib notes ready to go after winning a Big 12 title and making the final four.
The issue is if you're going to win six or seven games this year, do it with an investment for the future. Let the kid go through the growing pains now instead of in yet another future season.
I enjoyed the swimming and womens bball notes, nice job giving them some props. I hardly ever watch either sport but I still root for them and think its awesome that theyre doing so well.
Eddie Reese is the GOAT UT athletics coach.
I'll be watching the womens game tonight. Hopefully it'll be a good game.

Man I hear you, but it pains me to put that donkey appendage - you choose the appendage - in the same class as Coach Reese.
Great write up. Thanks.
- Kai is on my transfer watch list. I'm not convinced he will switch to WR.
- When Longhorn fans see TCU go from 4-8 to 12-1 in 2014, I can see why somebody might think it's possible to finish in the top two.
- Betting on Swoopes is super risky, but no quarterback appears to be a sure bet right now.
- First kicker to miss during the spring game goes home.
- Is Buddy Hield this year's Jimmy Fredette (looks great in college, but it may not translate on the next level)?

I think the cohesion in practice is a part of it. There are portions of this staff that are entering new territory in terms of methodology and everyone seems to be on the same page.
Honestly, I also wondered about the chemistry of the group behind the scenes, but that doesn't seem to be an issue at all from what I've heard.
a. At this point, it was a huge mistake for him to come to Texas.
b. That's fair. TCU went from horrible quarterback play to Heisman level quarterback play overnight.
c. Look kids, Big Ben... Parliament.
d. Yikes.
e. He's better than Fredette. Not sure what that means at the top level, but he's such a complete player.
Well I'm glad it only took 2 years for this regime to get to this point. I swear it seems everything about the Strong tenure has been about learning on training wheels.
It's nothing sinister. I think the staff would prefer he simply move to wide receiver and might be frustrated that he's not a willing subject at this point.Okay, let me try this again then...can you elaborate as to why?@Ketchum
Who do you want the Cowboys to draft Ketch? I know it might not pay off next year, but I think the Cowboys should look to the future and draft a QB in the 1st round. How long will it be until they have the 4th overall pick again?

+1...Shane is tough as nails, watches film when they aren't practicing. He'll be far more ready by fall, as he eats and breathes football 24-7.
If Heard or Swoopes can't get us to 8 or more Ws, give the kid a chance to learn now, even if he takes some lumps.
Boo is not like Swoopes and Heard were as Freshmen. Has better instincts and intangibles, and he can handle pressure without folding...at least he always has. It's not going to break his spirit if he struggles some.
This early spring may prove invaluable for him.
Different kind of cat from the other 2. He's an alpha, only true alpha of the 3.
