Ketch's 10 Thoughts From the Weekend (It's Texas, OU and everyone else...)
- Thread starter Ketchum

What if it loses both of the games in question?
How would you feel about that season?
J.K. Dobbins is a sneaky off the grid candidate because they'll have a ton of games against ranked teams to play against. He's on pace for about 1,600 yards, but if he kicks it up just a slight next level gear, he could become a name to watch.
Amazing that of all the things I wrote about, it was acknowledging how good Hurts has been that cost me my credibility.
It's almost like confirmation bias sometimes exists on the board.
I answered that question poorly. I wasn't calling the 2005 group the best, I was just saying I would take that group over the 2019 group.
The way the question was asked, I should have answered the group that was the best of all-time (I'd agree with the 1996 answer) and not just the group that last existed that I would take over 2019.
Kudos to you for being correct on him going into the season. His sophomore season was just an oddly pedestrian one. Now that might have had a lot to do with the general odd circumstances of tOSU last season. But he's certainly back to his frosh form. Honestly, I see him as a much better candidate than Taylor. Dobbins' biggest problem in the Heisman race is his QB who will get the lion's share of attention.
I can certainly see that. Get them in a game facing a high octane offense and they could have major problems.
Fine list of to-be-seen movies. I'm especially looking forward to seeing Hidden Life and The Irishman, and from all accounts, Marriage Story should be one of those genuine slice-of-life movies that is punctuated by excellent acting.
Marriage Story is likely going to push all of the emotional buttons.
I assume we're talking 10-3 with three losses to top 10 teams - I'd say we're on schedule in year 3 of the rebuild - especially if said losses are contested to the bitter end. Don't get me wrong, there will be bitterness and knee jerking but, when the dust settles, rational thought will take it's place.
The narrative at that point would be this; Texas is not yet elite, but making progress toward that goal. In 2020 we'd have a Sr. Quarterback coming off a "Heisman ballpark" type season, the best players on the team will have been on campus 2-4 years, highly reducing the need to rely on true freshman, there would be more depth, the number of 4+ star players on campus would be more in line with what you see from teams that take up residence in the top 10.
Now, if you FF to the end of 2020 and we're in the same place, I'd have to say the build has hit a pause or plateau and maybe some reevaluation is in order. At that point Herman would have lost 5 in a row to gooner and I dare say, the natives would be restless......
If we lose twice to OU then I would consider the season a disappointment. And in reality, it would be considered a step back from '18 even with a bowl win for obvious reasons.
I was referring to him putting his name in the transfer portal this past offseason.
Referring to him putting his name in the portal this past offseason. If he had transferred, what would it have meant to the RB room and Roschon?
The drum kid looks like the continued story of the kid from “Bad Santa”.
Is 8 Parasite or JoJo? Neither worked with my schedule, by firend saw both and strongly preferred JoJo. Ford v Ferrari was very good, but it is a Disney movie through-and-through. A Beautiful Day in The Neighborhood was really enjoyable. Hanks killed it. Just Mercy and Two Popes are others to checkout.

I’m kinda on board with your analysis. However, it’s not like we have recruited scrubs during those down years. I agree next year, barring injuries, this team should enter the playoffs undefeated. But I will add that Oklahoma never seems to have a down year. So the excuses run a little hollow with me. It’s time to get it done. I would be okay with splitting with ou. But I’m not okay with losing twice.
Great catch by Davis, but the deep flank official was in the wrong position to make that call. Needs to be anchored on the GL extended a few feet off the sideline on that play to judge TD v. no TD.
Some of those movies I hadn’t heard of but look great. Will definitely be seeing some of those too.
Disagree a little re Hurts. The proof will be in the pudding as they’ve played no defense with even a semblance of a pulse to date. He may as well have been playing against air so far.

2013 night game in Ames, Texas wins by one point after a very controversial non fumble call by Johnathan Gray
2015 night game in Ames, Texas gets shut out 24-0 by a team led a LB who played QB. All-Galaxy Michael Dickson actually missed the practice net while warming up for a punt on the sideline.
2017 night game in Ames, Texas wins scoring only 2 TD's and on both drives Texas gets the aid of stupid personal foul penalties by Iowa St. Otherwise they probably lose that game.
I was at all three of these Fusterclucks. I'm not saying Baylor isn't better than Iowa St. But playing in Ames at night in November IS NOT a recipe for an easy win.
Did you see the stands? They probably couldn't afford deep flank officials. It was probably a 3 man crew
Not surprised one little bit that Shane is lighting it up at SMU. Always loved that kid as a QB and as a person!
Hurts' passing efficiency, he's #1, passing TDs he's tied for 11th, passing yds/game he's 10th, points responsible for per game he's 5th
by comparison, for all stats stated Sam is 10th, 6th, 11th, 6th.
Numbers are what the numbers are (very evenly matched IMO), but I think Hurts, like all other gooner QBs, benefits from the system. If i'm projecting to the next level, Sam would be higher on my draft board b/c he runs more of what the NFL runs and his numbers are less inflated by a system that hasn't translated to NFL success in the past. I think the jury is still out on Ewok and Douche.
