It wouldn't be my list either but that's who Ketch prefers. I wouldn't have Dolly anywhere near my top ten list. Garth either. To me King George is a slam dunk number 1 with zero competition but everyone has different tastes. There are so many great ones it's hard to come up with a top ten list. I loved Eddie Rabbit, Charley Pride, Don Williams, Steve Wariner, Charlie Rich, and many others. I'd probably have to leave a couple of them off of my top ten list.
Ketch's 10 Thoughts From the Weekend (Is this the 2nd best Texas offense of all-time?)
- Thread starter Ketchum
- Start date
The “teams” they killed are:
Georgia Southern, and
Northwestern State. Oooooooooooo.
The next two big challenges are:
Vanderbilt, and
Utah State. Ooooooooooooooooo
You’re correct. Let’s not have reality enter into this.
OSU may be the 2nd best team we have played, but we won’t know until Saturday. OSU has been “killing teams” like that also.
It has do with the fact that Aranda has coached one of the top defenses in the NCAA as a defensive coordinator each year. Last year they had one of the top defenses in the NCAA and will again this year. They returned 8 starters.
Had we left our starters in for four quarters against La Tech and Rice on offense and defense, the scores and total yards would look VERY different. Neither of our second teams are very good at this point. We lack depth although it’s getting better. Our number one offense is borderline elite in this years college game and our QB1 is playing elite.
OSU hasn’t played anyone yet.
Rice is horrible. La Tech is 2-1 and LSU is top 5 with a QB that is outplaying our elite QB1. We barely lost to LSU. A play here or there was the difference and if Sam gets the ball back I believe we tie the game. Point is, OSU defense won’t be close to LSU defense. Not this year or any year Orgeron and Aranda are the coaches at LSU. Aranda is a great defensive coach and they get top notch talent because Orgeron can recruit! OSU Does not have a top flight DC in the same area code as Aranda and it’s well documented that The Mullet doesn’t focus on recruiting. These facts are supported by the numbers.
None of this has anything to do with the SEC or anything to do with LSUs schedule this year to date. It’s history, current facts and circumstances.
LSU will be the best defense we face all year. Statistically and talent wise.
Make the argument that OSU has the best offense that our porous defense will face this year and I would say that will be a race between OSU, OU, and LSU. Like you said though, we will find out this weekend!
The argument seems to be, if Herman had left his 1st string offense in for the full game against really crappy teams like LSU/SEC does, we would have a better defense. In that our D would have been on the field less, you may be onto something there. Statistically, that may be correct.
absolutely. 30-35 points might prove to be very solid.
I don't think VY made a mistake. I mean... he signed a 25+ million dollar deal.
Hard to compare thw two directly, but if we're keeping it real, the 69-70 teams had no where near the speed and raw athleticism, that this offense has.
Might be an age thing. I grew up on George. He's easily the No.1 of the fairly recent modern era.
The young talent is definitely there, they just need to execute... Oh crap, now I'm sounding like Coach Strong
I’m a year younger than you. And I like George Straight. But he’s a singer, doesn’t really play an instrument, and didn’t really write anything.
I’d put Dwight way above George Straight.
While I get what you are saying, that statement doesn't make a ton of sense. If it "takes" 30 points then how is it Texas "likely rolls?" I think the general point is that whether it "takes" 30 or 40 points, this projects to be a one-score 4th quarter type game.
I don't need George to do anything but come out in a super starched shirt and sing his ass off. No instruments required.
Getting hurt. It's not just in hindsight that we are allowed to say that was dumb on the part of the coaches.
Prior to the start of the year the consensus was our D lost experience but gained better athletes in many positions. After a few games its time for the experience meter to be clicking up and the D to improve. OSU will be a great test as The Mullet will exploit the hell out of the weaknesses he has seen through the first 3 games. These are the games we look forward to during the 9 month drought. Enjoy!
