I learned to hate Arkansas fans in 1954 when they beat us in Austin. They hated the State of Texas, not just The University of Texas. So as a young Texan I became a staunch Longhorn fan.

Ketch's 10 Thoughts From The Weekend (I missed the Aggies, bring on Thanksgiving 2024)

You going to be wearing Burnt Orange or Maroon?
I now see how you intended to use the comment I made about a month ago about Alabama and Georgia being in a class based themselves and UT being one of the top rated recruiting schools but woefully behind Bama and the Dawgs that you responded to by saying you were preparing an article that would address it. I have been wondering when I would see it and I like to what you wrote. Thanks.
I also believe if Sark is able to make the CFPs (which means it must be in the top 4 each year in the SEC) and with the $$$ UT has for NIL, UT should be positioned to decease the gap between itself and the top two, especially with Saban likely retiring in the next 3-5 years.

The tickets won’t be cheap. I’ll use the $.to pay for my OU game, tickets and travel costDibs. You called it.
Those eyes scared the shit out of me and I was watching on TV.
Don’t be weak…and if it looks like we have the stronger team, I doubt you sell those tix. If you decide to, just let us OBs know. I’m sure we’ll take them off your hands.
It’s ou, aggy, then Arky. Anyone saying it different is either a youngster or doesn’t understand each rivalry.
Its late and I have had at least one drink. But I don't understand this. Texas is 11-2, OU is 10-3. So, a one game difference.
Regardless, OU sux.
I saw him from mid court 3 row seats okay against Iceman/spurs in 1977. Incredible game. Was stunned to see how fast those guys were at that size.
Derrick Johnson deserves his UT number retired IMO…best defensive player I’ve seen play in my life, and Nobis is currently the only retired defensive number…it’s time for another.
Makes no difference. They are insufferable, devious, sneaky. Just look at Rick Perry
Bro this has the potential to be an epic troll butt your gonna need to crank up the douche factor for the homies to believe your a real aggy my hoss.

I did not, but those without confirmation bias have rendered their judgment over the years.
You don't have nearly enough appreciation for Embiid.
Hell, he shoots the three-ball at a 5-percent higher clip than Erving did.
Ketch...I loved the Super Blue Chip analysis. I know you are busy, yet it would be helpful if you could show the Super Blue Chips over the last 2 and 4 years for the Big 12 schools including the new entering schools. I assume UT and OU are ahead of the others (but could be wrong), which would indicate the poor player development in Austin since the Super Blues did not translate into good on-field performance. It would also illustrate the competition that we are leaving and where we are headed.
Also, how many Super Blues has UT lost that were recruited from the beginning of the Herman-era to now? I do not have a firm grasp on this, but it seems we lost some along the way. If I am correct, does this happen much at other schools? I do not expect it to happen much under Sark.
The other component that I think is quite meaningful in determining elite on-field performance is whether the team has an upperclassman at QB and upperclassmen in the trenches, especially OL. I would like to hear your thoughts on this and any analytics you can provide.
I also think that a team has been able to be a 9/10-win team without recruiting at the level of Bama and UGA, whether in the SEC or elsewhere, and sometimes when the recruiting planets align properly, they could even make the 4-team CFP, but I bet few teams have been NCs without (1) quite a few Super Blue Chippers, and (2) experienced upperclassmen at the QB and OL. In other words, teams, like TCU this year can catch lightening in a bottle and get to the CFP, due to #2 above, but eventually will lose due to not having enough #1.
I think with NIL and the time Eltife and CDC are giving Sark, we might get eventually be able to compete annually at the elite level. I sure hope that is correct.
Thanks for your efforts in helping us understand this important issue.

I don't mind being around them when they are at DKR but don't have any intention of being around them at Pyle Field.
A few years back (Maybe 2008) at DKR, I had the pleasure of sitting behind 2 ags at our then annual game .
I was wearing my 2005 National Championship T-Shirt and one of them asked me how long I was going to milk it.
I asked him if he still had his 1939 T-Shirt which shut him up pretty good .
1964...14-13, we loss, but DKR learned from it and went for two om the first TD in '69. In addition, by losing in'64 UT was able to play in the first night Orange Bowl and beat Namath and Bear.
But YES, another Natty, and a back-to-back one, would have been sweet.
