Ketch's 10 Thoughts From the Weekend (I might have reservations, but I'm not backing down now...)
- Thread starter Ketchum
- Start date
You take not backing down to an extreme. I cannot believe you rank a guy who started 5 games ahead of guys who started for entire seasons, and then try to defend it.
I know Vince was special, and I am certain you thought a lot of Chance as a recruit, but he did not perform in the college game well enough to get half a season under his belt. He was 4-2 as a starter. He backed up VY one season. He was behind Major and Chis as well. Bill Bradley started three seasons.
Chance was just better than those dudes IMO. Period. I watched all of Gardere's games at Texas. He just wasn't as good as Chance.
I always wondered what Chance’s career would have looked like if that pod from Krypton hadn’t showed up.
He probably throws for 30+ touchdowns and finishes with less than 10 interceptions over 12 or 13 games.
Basically, one of the greatest seasons of any quarterback in school history at that point.
If he would have had the grad transfer possibility back then, I bet he would have used it.
It came down to transferring to a place like Delaware for a year and burning all of the UT good will he had or staying. I think he thought about life outside of football.
Ahhhh, yeah I was a little confused, but wasn’t thinking Delaware was D2, but I remember that was the rule.
