Or maybe you don't know what you're talking about.
I'd lead a ****ing parade if they win a conference title.
Ketch's 10 Thoughts From the Weekend (I have to confess to being delusional...)

I'd lead a ****ing parade if they win a conference title.
a. He ain't the No.5 fighter in the sport.
b. It was a bit of a tongue-in-cheek comment made to emphasize the bigger point.
c. You took it way too literal.
Top 10-15 classes that lack national top 50-70 prospects are severely overrated.
THat's it. That's the thing you need to memorize.
He believed he had an elite staff that would do both. He overestimated his group's worth. It's a trend that needs to end.
Of course. But, that's also the kind of thing people say when they can't get the shiny thing.
"I love my Toyota, who would ever want a Mercedes?"
The question about whether Whittington or Smith starts in the slot floors me. Just like when Smith spent so much time on the bench last year watching Duvernay and Epps play. Ketch answer was correct - we need our best guys on the field. Why couldn’t Smith have been trained to play in Epps position?
I don't think Texas previously has ever had a leader with a big, clear vision when the time to hire has arrived.
The conversation is about non-coordinator positions. I've given the coordinator hires really high marks, including in this article.
Thanks, glad it connected for some. I feel like it was received with a lot of defensiveness from some, which is something I should have considered more in writing about it.
Or wherever gets them both on the field. I don't really care how they do it.
That's the flaw in the Rivals rankings
Could you imagine the meltdowns if Texas had commitments from the following players out of high school:
Mahomes - 3 stars
Tannehill - 3 stars
Garappolo - 2 stars
Rodgers - 0 stars
I think the flaw is not focusing on what the math behind the system suggests when a massive sample size supports it and then focusing only on that.
Agree wholeheartedly with Track that it was one of your best posts ever. Every subscriber needs to go re-read points nos. 2, 3, and 4. They're absolutely spot-on.
I understand that point but I would always go back and try and figure out why I missed on players who ended up playing at the top of their profession. Was their a flaw in my analysis that I need to correct, did the prospects have a common trait that allowed them to succeed over their rankings, etc? I'd do this especially with quarterbacks because the way for a coach to achieve wins, fame, and money is to have an elite quarterback.
Surely you're joking. Are you really not aware that OP owns this site?
I'm surprised Brewster isn't in there somewhere, along with Akina, and possibly Davis.
Actually, it was my amateur MMA fam mbr. I sent it to him, just to see how he'd respond. But to be fair to him, and judging from how others responded, you evidently didn't come across as tongue-in-cheek as you thought.
But, hey, you got (and are getting) clicks, responses and even a guy like me texting what you said to others to get their take.
Good job. Keep stirring the pot, whether folk agree or not.
It's one of sundry reasons your site hasn't gone the way of the buffalo.
Hook'em.
P.S. Btw, though my guy never said anything about if or where Cowboy's ranked (you misread the post), Cerrone actually is/was #5, in his weight class at least. https://www.ufc.com/rankings

I love your comment about Zach Evans. I have always wondered why the ranking systems of high school kids doesn't have an "intangibles" quotient in there somewhere? Is the kids dad a coach? Is the kid a straight A student? is the kid reading to the blind in his free time? Is the kid a locker room cancer (Zach Evans)? Evans doesnt need to be a 5 star regardless of his stats. The world is filled with kids who "had all the talent in the world" but didnt have their head screwed on straight.
How do you know he couldn’t? That’s a big assumption that doesn’t bear out in the real world right now from what I’m hearing. The issues, the REAL issue, is the one you alluded to, he thought they were elite. This Staff that Herman put together he believes is the correct mix. If he’s wrong, it’s on him. I know for a serious fact Herman had any number he could have thrown at coaches. Coaches will look past a program if the money is right and Texas is still desirable to those said coaches, you add the money and it’s a no-brainer. No, this is the staff Herman wanted based on the Fluidity of the availability. I hope for his sake, they are. If not, the appetite for his longevity will be brief.
