Ketch's 10 Thoughts From The Weekend (Go medium, young man...)

[TXNLIVNNTX]

That was a great bye week. The timing was perfect to get physically healed up and work on execution stuff.

It’s all there for this team to take. If they are who we think they are, they will. 🤘

After years of being a member of this site I truly can't recall you actually giving an actual "thought" about the Cowboys in your TTFTW article. You always seem to say something along the lines of, "I don't know what to say" or something else non-committal.

What is your honest opinion of this team, its situation, its future, etc?

I literally wrote a column that pointed out all the areas that Texas needs to improve on.

That being said, part of it is Quinn. We can't dismiss that because there are also other areas that need to improve.

Ketch's 10 Thoughts From The Weekend: (The problems on offense....)

I'm not opening up this week's column with concerns about Quinn Ewers. Or the Texas offensive line. Or the Texas running backs. Or even a wide receiver unit that people really should apologize for daring to compare to last season's group. As the Texas football team gets ready to head into a...

9/10 OP criticisms of UT the last 2 games (3 weeks) are on QE. It’s just not right.

You may have missed my last paragraph. If we cant be successful in the run game and our WRs continue to struggle to read defenses while the OL cant give extra time in protection, then we may need to make a change because our offense isnt the right fit with QE at QB.

What is there left to say? Think of the sound of someone throwing up and that sums up the Cowboys. I went to my first Dallas game with my dad in 1965 and IDGAS anymore. F*ck Jerrah.

UT Volleyball - what the hell has happened?

 

[RLong68]

(Buy) The staff doesn't believe in him. I'm not sure that he'll find a better landing spot, especially since Arch Manning seems to like throwing in his direction, but he has to be as frustrated as any player in the program.

You know where I am that.

Stevie Ray Vaughan’s just never done much for me.

That's literally a made up number.

But, yes, the freaking starting quarterback has to play well.

The SEC wall?

 

[texan886]

Great read.
Hopefully we get good QE the rest of the season.
The stupid penalties need to stop.
The o line needs pick up a blitz.
Beat Florida.

Opinion.

What's the rub the coaches have? Or do we know?

He's just not as consistent as they want him to be.

Clemson ... what the hell was that?

They played a defense that wasn't garbage for the first time since Week 1, although at 51 in DFEI Louisville isn't that much better than garbage themselves.

They just looked completely out of it coming out of the bye week.

Lethargic.

Arsenal fans on social media are a strange lot.​

Alabama's Ryan Williams will be the best wide receiver in the SEC next year.

In a vacuum maybe. Who’s gonna be throwing him the ball?

 

[BrobaFapp]

@Ketchum your take on Shemar Turner. How big of a mental case is he, and is he doing any damage to his image in the eyes of scouts and his draft. Or will they overlook this. And as dirty as aggy has been as a defense are you expecting any scuffles started by them and intents of trying to injure our players.

Yeah but for who?

As my Uncle used to say, "That boy just ain't right". He is the dirtiest player since Conrad Dobler.

Not sure. A transfer, I'd guess.

 

[BrobaFapp]

I certainly don't see Keelon Russell being the starter there next year and maybe he is the one who could persuade Ryan to stay.....and I can see him being their next Milroe...but maybe a couple years down the road. Simpson is a jag...and the kid Deboer brought with him from UW I know nothing about him other than he isn't proven and hasnt played a snap in a real game. So I'd say it's between him and Simpson as the starter next year. Arch is definitely proven and hopefully Lacey is still working Ryan behind the scenes. I certainly wouldn't say it's impossible for Sark to steal another big time SEC WR.

NFL scouts barely care about murder.

If he can play, they'll take him.

I'm going to say Alabama backs up the Brinks.

First: attaboy Ags. Second: volleyball has zero player leadership. Third: miss SRV so much

 

[streettopeschel]

1) a minute ago, I thought Collin Simmons was heading to legendary status. Maybe it still happens, but the moment has passed.

2) I saw James Franklin’s offense in Austin before. But Fred either had Earl or a GOAT Defense so we kinda worked with it. Franklin 24 is brutal.

3) Your kids have never been to DKR? Dafuq?

 

[Travis Galey]

Clemson has played two games against teams with a winning record and they’ve lost them both.

Cade Klubnik in those two games:

Louisville;
33-56, (58.9 completion percentage) 228 yards (4.1 yards per attempt) 1 TD, 99 rating

Georgia:
18-29 (62.1%), 142 yards (4.89 yards per attempt), 1 INT, 96 rating.

I tried to tell you @Ketchum that Clemson was fools gold. They’ve been playing scrubs.

There is no future. We're trash.

Life By The Drop is a quintessential modern day true blues classic. It’s his best!

Agreed

They just aren't into football and I'm always working.

I saw SRV live in Fairbanks Alaska a month before he died. It was an amazing concert where he won over a very boring crowd and absolutely rocked the house!

Like I tried to tell you those pre-season numbers for Ewers were kinda wild.

We all have our blind spots, I suppose.

Might I suggest the Premier League.

Your SRV list is good. I saw him many times live throughout Austin back in the 80's and even once with David Bowie. He will always be my #1 Guitar player.
