Ketch's 10 Thoughts From The Weekend: It's all about the 2023 season...

[snoop9928]

No SIA or kacey musgraves Christmas songs? Yikes

 

[Ketchum]

@Ketchum what about non traditional Christmas songs? I've always loved "Hard Candy Christmas" by Dolly Parton "If We Make It Thru December" by Merle Haggard and "Christmas in Dixie" by Alabama.

Not top 10 quality.

 

[datvideoguy]

Helluva Ten Things tonight. Bravo to you, sir. And thanks for not including any Christmas song by Elvis in your top ten. Every single one he did was awful.

 

[Ketchum]

Cue your Elmo Shrug gif. I have no idea

He's expected to play college football.

 

[Ketchum]

Another terrible season. I guess we should be used to them by now.

Texas set a new standard for terrible. It will be something less than terrible.

 

[mindswoop]

I guess I'm a lady. I can live with that.

Sorry man, that wasn’t my intention. I was just noting that my preferences aren’t the entirety of what makes good Christmas music. My wife and her friends love it.

A newer band that’s put out some good renditions and new Christmas songs is For King and Country. My girls are all in on Santa Tell Me by Ariana Grande.

 

[PuroHorns]

Another terrible season. I guess we should be used to them by now.

Not too bad with a frosh qb and a very young OL. Wish Bijan would stay for 2023.

 

[Ketchum]

Bing and David Bowie's version of little drummer boy should be on the list.

Great shout.

Blasphemy! 🤣

[Guy on a Buffalo 75]

O Holy Night by Nat King Cole …top Christmas song

How is happy Xmas war is over not on the too 10 list?

 

[Ketchum]

I don';t think I have any elvis christmas songs on my playlist

Santa tell me bops!

#10 gets more run in this thread than Campbell not being a projected starter in 2023…🤷🏼‍♂️

 

[roughorangie]

Yes, great job by the OB team covering the wild TX SD1! Thx!

 

[MB-HORNS]

7-5 is terrible but probably the new norm for Texas football.

 

[Ketchum]

It received consideration.

He'll be projected when he commits/signs.

@ball911 and others got really mad this week at the idea of Ewers getting handed the job. They must be shaking mad reading this

Being handed jobs without earning them is antithetical to competitive sports, imo. But mad, no.

 

[NativeTex]

O Holy Night is my favorite Christmas song. Hard to sing but great song. I don’t like the Mariah Carey songs but understand how popular they are with the ladies.

Yeah but that doesn't entitle them to be on a Best list. Ugh.

 

[Texas Diesel]

what is Rhett Bomar in your eyes?

Someone who overvalued his ability into never equating to success for his fan base.

 

[Ketchum]

Earning is such a subjective term, no?

 

[Ketchum]

Farrell thinks he's going to be Stafford 2.0. Would you be able to live with that?

 

[The Dog8]

Is there anyone in the portal who can get to the quarterback? Anyone? We desperately need pass rushers.

Trans-Siberian Orchestra has 3-4 songs that could be on a top 10 Christmas list.

 

[edmondhorn2]

You’re very right - it’s been a really good week. Congratulations all around!

See where this oldie fits into your Christmas song list - I’ve always found it underrated and Squier was a great shredder of a guitar…

Caught a glimpse of Nina Blackwood in that video. Definitely an underrated hottie from that time period!

 

[sodiumacetate]

We're not listing Ronald Lewis at this point as a member of the 2022 incoming class. If he signs in February or locks in that he will actually sign in February, we'll add him to the freshmen numbers, but the smart money is on him signing elsewhere at this point.

I thought it was settled that Lewis would be joining as a blue shirt, allowing him to be on scholarship and play but not having him count against the 33.

NIL and portal has changed everything. The college model is done. You have to look at this like a business now. You have to get production from your free agent acquisitions. We don't have to like it but its the new nfl step-down league. What a can of worms....

 

[Texas Diesel]

I’m not a big Matt Stafford fan, so probably not, but I feel most would be ok with a guy with intangibles that never live up to the hype. My fear is that if he’s Matt Stafford 2.0, Texas fans want to run Sark out of town for not being successful with a qb who never reaches the pinnacle at any level (state championship,national championship, super bowl).

 

[RCPERK2]

Great year for OB. The addition of the Youtube portion and how that has progressed really adds to the experience. Now I can hear your voice in your posts (is that good?). Keep it up in '22.

I thought that Coleman was fired by some posts on Twitter. Is that a foregone conclusion and does Sark out do the Choice hire with WR coach?

 

[LonghornCPA82]

Of all the offensive lineman we just signed, who do you see as a possible back up at center?

Did you know that 95.202 officially showed up for the Kansas game?

How do you get .202 of a person? I can probably name close to 95 people at this game.

I was always partial to this Christmas song:

 

[Bode1025]

O Holy Night is my favorite Christmas song. Hard to sing but great song. I don’t like the Mariah Carey songs but understand how popular they are with the ladies.

I’m not a fan of Josh Groban but his version of that is incredible. Gives me chills.

 

[edmondhorn2]

Farrell thinks he's going to be Stafford 2.0. Would you be able to live with that?

Stafford’s last two years at Georgia saw him pass for right at 6,000 yards, 44 TD/20 Int…I’d take that. I do think given the proclivity of Sark’s offense to scheme open receivers, those numbers could resemble more like 7000 yards and 55 TDs.

@Ketchum

I love White Christmas by Bing, but my favorite version of this song is by the US Navy band (doing the version of the song made famous by The Drifters). Tell me this doesn’t put a smile on your face…

 

[dirtlawyer]

I'm going to listen to every song that gets mentioned in this thread.

Elvis’ “Blue Christmas“ and “If I get home for Christmas”

 

[sean1187]

Christmas songs you should add to your playlist if you don’t already have them…

For the kids, The Song Trust- Box of Rocks and Gayla Peevey- I want a hippopotamus for christmas

For you, Kacey Musgraves- Willie Nice Christmas (but her whole damn album is real damn good) and Snoop & Anna Kendrick- Winter Wonderland
