Nice to have you back. Hope the vacation was everything you hoped for. I had an Aggie coach that had played for the Bear. In our first meeting he announced that the D was his first team a and we were to yank their head off and shit in their necks. No one came to play us without rib pads. Most everyone on that team was invited to play at the next level. I write all this drivel to say that is what I expect to see CS put on the field.
Ketch's 10 Thoughts From the Weekend (I'm baaaaaaaack)
- Thread starter Ketchum
- Start date
Welcome back Ketch. Hope you had a really good rest during your holiday.
I kind of have to agree with cdunagan on Suarez. Come on now. Does biting someone really indicate toughness? To me it seems like he has been hanging out with some of those cannibals in the Amazon. Great athletes don't have to do things like that to be noticed.
I agree with you on the team's need to be able to use Gray and Brown in the proper manor and hope and pray that we can keep our QB from getting hit by a truck. I think our defense is going to really good so if we can manage to control the ball we have a good chance to be a fairly good team this year.
"On one side you've got a Germany squad that is probably the best team these eyes have seen in the last few weeks, going up against a wounded world power that has never lost a single International match on its home soil."

Ketch,
I scanned thru your Spotify archives list and didn't notice Muse. They have plenty of quality material to come up with a nice top 10 list. And if you aren't that familiar with them it will be a cool diversion for you.

I honestly don't see him starting here unless we're decimated by injuries. Ash then Heard seems like the path to me
With all respect, this stuff doesn't interest me much right now as Perry and his Aggie Stooges prepare to take down President Powers, thereby damaging the academic excellence and integrity of the only University in the State of the First Order. This is a sad damn time for all of us who actually graduated from the 40 Acres.
Ditto! And ditto!! However, having Gray just rip it up would just make us really hard to beat along with a kick ass D {which is what I'm expecting from them anyway}!
Disdain isn't necessarily the correct term for the way many Texas fans, including myself, look at BYU and what they would like to see coming out of this year's game. Anyone that is competitive and takes an asswhipping of that proportion is going to want to come back hard on whomever delivered the pounding. Ketch described it very well -- this game is about regaining pride and reconfiguring the way other teams and fans look at us based on results just like this over the last several seasons.
I've described in previous threads how I felt in the stands that day watching us give up the most rushing yards in school history. I'm going to assume that this loss stung 100 times worse for a group of players that got shoved all over the field, run out of the stadium and humiliated in front of the nation. Forget disdain, this one is about redemption and establishing that the Longhorns under Strong are going to return a punch in the mouth with 10 more to yours until you're spitting chiclets. That's what I want to see and I'm hoping that's exactly how the Texas team feels too.
That's one of the things that worries me about him. He may have gotten away with that in the past but these teams in the Big 12 can throw up points in hurry.
a. No offense, but I don't really care what you think fits and doesn't fit. Hell, the entire column doesn't fit together, which is why it fits.
b. No part of me tries to act like any kind of a soccer expert, so get off your soccer high horse.
c. Argentina hasn't been in a Final Four at the WC in almost a generation. Hard top put them on the same level as "No.1 blueblood seeds" like Germany.
d. Argentina did not dominate Belgium.
I think they are saying they haven't lost in like 50 years. It did happen at least that once as Jamimer indicates.
On another note, I agree with the others in that I just don't see anything elite in Gray. He can be very good, but I don't see elite burst to be the playmaker you describe. And that was before an achilles injury.
It would be great if DJ could fill the Mr. Outside role to MBrown's Mr. Inside.

All of those top teams have stars.
Man U - Fellaini, Mata, Rooney, Van Persie
Man City - Kompany, Nasri, Aguero, Silva
Chelsea - Hazard, Costa, Fabregas
Liverpool - Suarez (for now), Sturridge, Sterling, Lallana
Arsenal - Giroud, Ozil, Walcott, Ramsey, Carzola
It's all about finding which ones you like. I became a Liverpool fan because of Steven Gerrard"
