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.
As well as Coach Aston has recruited, it's a mystery to me that it hasn't translated to the court.
Gotcha. I figured that was probably what you were saying but, wasn't sure. Is that Goalkeeper usually an entitled sh*t?
It would be extremely hypocritical to even consider action on Aston before the Men's BB Team even sniffs of a Tournament Win.
2021 is the year we figure out who the future is for at least 2 years. RsF Card vs RsJ Thompson.
Your a stat guy how many success stories are there with Red Freshman QB’s leading the team?
He's a new player on the team. Highest transfer in history for a goal-keeper.
The back-up is a penalties specialist.
That makes it even worse then since he obviously knows the other guy's specialty is penalty kicks. What a little sh*t.
I recall encountering Doug Dawson on the field after a game during his time at UT. Doug had left the field for several plays late in the game for what appeared to be a neck sprain but did return. When I asked how his neck was doing Doug said it was going to be okay. As I turned to leave, he said, "Thank you for asking."
Not only do they bring the football players at night, they keep the basketball players in the gym so they don't find out where they are either....I was sentenced to do three years there in grad school. I tried to say I was sorry to everywhere else, but no one would believe me. When I finally escaped/graduated, I found out two things:
1) you can see New Mexico from the highway overpass.
2) Happiness truly is Lubbock in your rear-view mirror.
Not sure why you keep overlooking RoJo. FWIW, that might not necessarily be a true statement about 2021. What if our QB play is not stellar that season? come Spring of '22 there is very likely a battle in that scenario.
Oh there's a non-alignment, one of the two wants to win.
By the way, you read tea leaves.
I've been in the car business for a few years now and I agree. Here's the deal, the internet has been an industry game changer. Now everyone knows what everyone else is offering. There aren't any secrets now. The dealership is going to make money on your price, your rate, or your trade-in. But they aren't getting rich off new car sales anymore. So offering great service is the best way to set your dealership apart.
Man, I try to keep up with the site but there are just too many inside jokes for me.
Sorry, I should have known it was a purposeful mistake.
