#10: I guess Ketch isn't a social justice warrior when it comes to the environment since he drives a gas guzzler
Good points on all of the football topics.

Next year is year eight.
At one point do we establish a set of expectations fitting of her position?
The WBB experts continuously want to talk about the "excuses" this season while ignoring the previous 2 when pretty much zero progress was made in closing the gap with RU.
I don’t want to take this thread in another direction.....but.... after many years in the car business, usually when someone thinks they are getting the run around it’s because their stuff is not in order...ie credit! Trade equity! Time on job or income... every deal is important to a dealer... Ketch was going to buy his car there no matter what. I can assure you there were people in that dealership at the time who were getting a far better deal then he was.
and I can't fathom why. I don't even know what defines success in that program? I guess second place.
That's not true, although my wife certainly believed that to be the case. After 14 years in a Benz, it took some convincing beyond my partnership.
The truth of the mater is that I loved the Expedition Platinum as soon as I took it for a spin. My wife has an Infinity SUV and it's just too small for a family of four that travels back and forth between Houston.

Took the words right out of my mouth!
and I think you might be both overstating it and underselling how good Card is.
I second that! Mike was a monster on the field and a quiet but great leader for us.
I’ve seen Hudson in person along with his film. He’s a sick prospect that can really spin the football. Definitely not underselling him. I see two guys that have similar skill sets and I’m going with the guy that’ll have been in the system for 5 years over the guy that’ll still be somewhat new and needs to gain 25 pounds.
Justin Blalock was a gentle giant. Completely underrated. Could play as a mauler at guard, or a stonewall at tackle.
At this point, at best, it's probably a bit of a crapshoot to project that for '22. Obviously a big year is going to be '21 where we would project to have a new QB post-Sam. At that point you will have Thompson in year 4, RoJo in year 3 and Card in year 2. Now, one can venture a decent guess that Thompson and RoJo will be the top 2 candidates to succeed Sam for '21. However, who knows how Card will look his true frosh year as a likely redshirt. Also, Card will likely already be 15 pounds heavier by the time he arrives in '20.
Not sure many people underrate Blalock. JMO. I think the majority of this board would quickly name him as a top OL in any such list.
Correct - I would wager this board is much more knowledgable than the average fan.
I guess I think of it like this: If you ask random UT fan on the street about the greatness of players in the USC Rose Bowl, the majority would not even register Blalock as a unquestioned superstar. I was glad to see Ketch had him highly rated on his list.
Just being 6'7" does not make an incoming freshman a star. She was going to be a work-in-progress who did not post up much in high school. Not saying she may not be good, but sure hasn't shown that yet. Aston is not bad either, but she has never once coached up her talent in 7 years as the head coach.

Increasingly players who want sustained NFL careers are astute enough to know that splitting carries at D1 leaves more tread on the tires and years in the career in the NFL. Likely fewer injuries as well. Other backs have said this as well. This is the rest of the logic.
No doubt. But that's more about the usual realm of obscurity in which OL operate. JMO. But definitely to your point, Blalock was simply an all-timer. IMO, he and Dan Neil are the top 2 OL going back probably at least 40 years.
Yep. I imagine that's part of any relatively easy pitch the staff is making.
27 win average last 4 yrs. has won 21 so far this season, even with all the obstacles the team has faced.
3 sweet sixteens and 1 elite 8 in the previous 4 seasons. If the men’s team had done as well, we would all be ecstatic.
Expectations are very high for next season w Prince in the lineup. I don’t understand what you so-called experts are so upset about.
Mulkey has had the best WBB team in the big 12 this decade, and likely top 3 national rank over those years, for sure, but that doesn’t take away from what Coach Aston has recorded. Get off your high horses and support the team and coach!
@Ketchum I don't watch soccer and I usually skip past your soccer commentary but, the way you worded the description of the video was confusing. Are you saying the Manager should be sitting in the stands or the goalkeeper? That kid is a little POS and should be booted from the team whether the contract has to be paid out or not. Entitled little POS. A football coach or baseball Manager would have drug a player like that off the field.
