Ketch's 10 Thoughts From The Weekend: Is Casey better than Spencer Rattler?

Extremely valid point. And in principle we probably both agree that it's best for Bijan longterm to save some tred on those tires. Which at this point is what I feel is most important.
I am sure you guys believe that but it is akin to watching someone pick “flyshit out of pepper”.
I get weekly requests for us to do a content piece where all we do is go back and forth on a few random topics.
It's hard to contain the popularity.
Hmm . . . that’s not what you were saying about this exact same group just a few months ago:
Ironic response is ironic. Your most clever response is a tallest midget contest. LOL.
So, my guess is that if you’re projecting you’d have Texas v OU in the CG, which at this point looks like at least a 50/50 prop to win. However, you’re using a parachute and basically saying that you think the field has a greater chance to be in the game than Texas right now. Both can be true.It was a good question.
You asked: "You now feel winning the Big 12 in season one is 50/50 or better."
I just don't think I would call Texas the favorite to win the Big 12 yet at a better than 50-50 clip.
True but until you see a few more games, I'm not sure you really have an accurate picture on who the middle class is in the Big 12.
He'd have been in jail in 2021 and deservedly so.
It's one of the great things about the show. It makes you ask tough questions and the characters ask really tough questions of themselves. In the search for constant black and white, the show paints the world as it is in a low of grays.
Okay, we'll see
Put me down for now saying WVU is going to be a much tougher game than Baylor is. BTW hope you're enjoying the Woodlands.
I know, I was trying to walk you into a corner. You dodged it. Haha. Would you have Texas as the second team in the game if you picked today and had to pick two teams? If so, would you think that game would be a coin flip?
So far, so good in. TW!Okay, we'll see
BTW hope you're enjoying the Woodlands.
Next 5 games
at TCU
vs. OU
vs. OSU
at Baylor
at Iowa State
4 of the 5 away from home. all are ranked or have been ranked at some point this season.
That’s a little bit of my point with question. Had the Oline of come out firing all the development would have been behind closed doors. To me anyway, this would mean that Flood’s hand in the matter would be a bit vague. As it stands, we can see the development from game to game and that might make it easier to sell to recruits.
I’m sure others have said or thought this but the real key to Sark’s success this year is in getting to a point that play is consistently good. With how much they have improved with each game, the Horns hold their future in their own hands. Not a lot to see in Big 12 to make one feel otherwise.
You think if the OL had come out playing well for the start, he wouldn't be able to receive credit?
Certainly would be able to receive some but it would make it harder to isolate how much development played. At the beginning of the year I really don’t know how much of that is raw talent, previous coaching staff or current coaching staff. The first game baselines max role raw talent or previous coaching development could play meaning any progress throughout the year is 100% Flood.
Fair enough. I’ll take your opinion on the matter over mine. I wouldn’t be able to tell how much was Flood in isolation but if you’re telling me that people who know more about football than me (I.e. everyone) can tease that out without a baseline, it makes sense.

I think we saw this group in the spring. Had he been able to get them into a plus-unit by game one, folks would have wanted to put a statue up.
The Horns were down the road a couple of weeks and had changed QB. I am sure they were coached up after the Arky loss. I am just saying Patterson will scheme to take care of perceived weaknesses and Jones and Okafor are leading candidates from earlier in the season. However, they held up pretty well in pass pro against TT, but it looked too easy. Thompson had all day a lot of the time based on Tech approach. I do not expect that this week but would like to be surprised.
did you really know he'd play like he has so far? be honest ...
in what way? that Riley won't hit some sort of rough patch at some point or the Stoops era doesn't apply now?
exactly. to borrow a phrase from the late great Howard Schnellenberger ..
"We need to build a wall around Texas"
TCU is a classic trap game. we're coming off a huge beatdown of Tech, with TCU getting thumped by that private school in Highland Park .. they are like us after Arkansas .. their pride is on the line. if we walk into Ft. Worth with a big head we might leave without it.
Rattler will be fine if he takes Riley's coaching. agree completely don't write him off.
can't decide which is the great Humphrey Bogart's best film .. "Casablanca", "The Maltese Falcon" or "The Treasure of the Sierra Madre"
sleeper choice .. "Philip Marlowe" Bogey invented the tough guy who tells the hot chicks how it really is. George Clooney goes to bed at night and dreams he's Bogey.
