Ketch's 10 Thoughts From The Weekend (Ewers to run it back in 2024?)

I wish him the very best and believe we will see him in the league in a few years.
I just remember how when Texas won all the pundits said this Alabama team was going to go 8-4. The worst Alabama outfit in 15 years. Texas beat Bama so soundly people were talking about replacing Nick Saban with Coach Prime. We won so bad they benched their QB. Just saying I think we are built to stop Alabama they are a running team and are greatest strength is stopping the run. I would be much more worried at Stopping Oregon and Washington.
Alabama might jump Texas but more than likely will lose to Georgia.
It's the brand of football that he plays that I was speaking of more than anything else.
It's painful.
Exactly right. It's a scrappy team, but not one to be afraid of.
He's quite confident in himself and his abilities. Self-doubt just doesn't exist in large doses.
It's weird prior to the season the narrative was if Quinn comes back something terribly wrong has happened. But here we are Texas 9-1 top ten in the nation. Quinn having a solid season and he might come back because things have gone quite as planned but definitely not terrible.
Because its my overreaction Monday Take. Georgia is finding their stride. Georgia is still Georgia. Not buying Milroe against a stout Georgia defense. But I do remember Alabama smashing Georgia in the SEC championship game a couple of years ago.
Here's my argument, if you take away a head to head matchup you're going off the opinion that the team that lost the head to head is now better than the team that won. I wouldn't argue that Bama would beat Texas if they played today, but if you set this precedent where does it end? What's the difference in saying a head to head matchup doesn't matter and saying record doesn't matter. What if there's a 10-2 conference champion that lost 2 games early and then played well down the stretch, what's stopping them from going in over an 11-1 conference champion, that won their last 6 games by a few points each?
I just don't think you can give the committee that much leeway without setting a precedent where they can disregard whatever they want. Opinion comes in when all other things are equal (records, conference championship, etc). Bama and Texas can't be equal because Texas beat them when it mattered.
What are the chances that X, Mitchell and Sanders come back with Quinn. Since all aren't having the type of seasons they expected. The NFL is hard even a guy like Bijan who looks generational is having a so so year in the league. If they all come back plus some transfer portal guys we can hit the SEC running.
Bama and Georgia are the only teams that play real defense. Winner is NC. It won’t be close. Michigan has some D, but just running the ball won’t cut it.
Here is what I think (Not that would care) bc I think everyone has thoughts like this.
Texas lives rent free in a lot of teams, fans and haters heads. No matter who or where other teams are playing, you always see the ”horns down“. Literally everywhere. I love to see it b/c I know they are thinking about UT!
When these teams play Texas, they are pumped up and we absolutely get their best game. Every week. In turn, I do not think Texas gets pumped up playing Baylor, Houston, etc …. They just barely squeak by and are ok with that. Texas was crazy good when they played AL, b/c that is a team that was at the top of the pecking order.
Just my opinion …..
Have to land some playmakers at WR. We dont know much about what they have because they only play 3 guys.
Which just goes to show that the biggest determining factor in close games is luck and that over the long haul, you can expect to go about 50/50 in close games.
We had bad breaks in close games last year and the year before and have had mostly good breaks this year.
A. I get the logic but the game still has to matter. Alabama can’t just be off the hook for a head-to-head loss (by 2 scores on their home field) simply because they’ve started playing well. Texas has also won 2 more games against ranked teams since playing Alabama, which should help but feels like it’s being discounted while Alabama’s ranked wins are boosting them up.
B. Imo by rewarding Alabama you are in turn punishing Texas.

and Bama fans were up in arms about Milroe. Kid just needed a little more experience and get his feet under him. He's a really good QB.
Because nobody gets up to play K State. Simply put, beating Texas means a lot more to schools than beating anybody else in the conference.
yup. We are every other schools super bowl and get their 110%. Where Texas doesn't seem to have this mentality and plays down to the competition all the time. Sucks but we need the killer attitude every game as if every team was Bama..or #1
There’s no such thing as a “Texas Aggie”, only Texas ATM aggies. 😎
