Ketch's 10 Thoughts From The Weekend (Jonah Williams.... the most important 5 star?)

[Ketchum]

I’m with Ketch. It is so damn hard to win a national championship and it’s even harder now with the expanded playoff. So much pure luck is involved on top of everything else.

The list is pretty lengthy of great coaches who never won one or won’t win one. Which is funny because you also have dummies like Ed Orgeron who have rings and couldn’t coach their way out of wet paper sacks.

Fate can be a cruel and often ironic little vixen.

(Sell) I reserve the right to change my mind, but I think the challenge will be tougher now than ever before and I'd be lying if I said I still didn't have some questions about just how good he really is. I'm more of a believer now than I used to be, but I give that type of benefit of the doubt very carefully.

Ketch, if this is the case, does this mean the decision makers at Texas need to be planning to cut bait and seek out Sark’s replacement? (I wouldn’t be surprised to hear you say that quality leaders like Eltife and CDC are always doing that. But if they feel as you just expressed, don’t they need to be actively laying the groundwork now? I.e. the goal is always a natty, especially for the flagship program.)

[I’m mainly just being argumentative in a devil’s advocate kind of role, kind of pressing for the implications of your answer.]

No, I just thinking winning NCs take a lot of things to come together at one time.

Excellent ten thoughts @Ketchum, the season is near.

This training camp other than running back injuries seems boring and that’s perfectly ok? Signs of a mature team

13 days y'all! Good one Ketch.

I own nine different original paintings by Robert Hurst, but the very first one that I purchased from him was this commissioned piece.

Amazing, what are the other eight?

Mo Salah/Sadio Mane/Bobby Firmino

4 holding penalties in one half by Christian Jones. 4?!? That is Phil Pozderak like. This reference will show one’s age.

Only the King can hold the belt.

Thanks.

So UT has in Sark someone who is potentially a natty-winning coach? What you do now is continue to focus the entire team (administration, athletic dept., football program, NIL, down to the last jockstrap washer) on refining the process, finding a synergy, saying their prayers, and doing the darn thing.

Same, Ketch. He just had his first 10 win season. Let me some consistency before I put all my eggs in one basket.

Going into Aggie this year is going to be one of the craziest atmospheres I might’ve ever seen, especially if their season goes well.

 

[RCPERK2]

I don't know what it means or what I'm even saying,

And there is the bumper sticker.

Great write up @Ketchum and thanks for the Otis Redding top 10, new playlist there.

Ketch do you have DAK Shock Syndrome? Honestly, after the GB loss, most Cowboys fans do. Even though there was much blame to pass around. I ask the question because how could anyone want Trey Lance to start by Halloween, or even be excited watching him play? I see an athletic, but has no business touching the football as as an NFL starter.

Dak has his worts but look at his career. At what point, minus the playoffs have you thought, let’s replace Dak and put in someone who can’t pass ten yards downfield. Again, you said wheels are about to come off. This is still basically the same team. Going to win ten games and lose in January

Selvin Young's injury is underrated. I know we were deep at RB then, with Benson and all, so it may not have seemed so dire. But he was going to be great and never really recovered fully from the ankle injury.

Yes, I would think so.

Dak is fine. Fine isn't the bar.

Selvin's big injury occurred early in 2004.

... It feels next to impossible to believe that any team in the NFL could have a worse quarterback situation than the Raiders. Gardner Minshew? Aidan O'Connell? Yikes.

Gardner Minshew II has been named the Raiders' starting quarterback for the 2024 season, Head Coach Antonio Pierce announced Sunday morning.

Good job Ketch.

Sittin on the Dock of the Bay is basically a perfect song.
But I get the personal pull towards These Arms…

I am not sure your point. My point is, he never really recovered and could have been great.

He's got a few of those perfect ones.

agreed. I thought this was in relation to the section about the all-time pre-season injury team.

Otis Redding's version of White Christmas is great and my favorite Christmas song. Would of had that in the top 10, though hard to say which I'd remove. Great list

There were 3 songs I absolutely hated to leave off.

He's just incredible.

How in the hell was he 5-7 at Tech in 2016? Baffling. Even more baffling is that Arizona hired Kingsbury after Tech ran his ass off. Manziel and Mahomes made that guy a lot of money.
