Ketch's 10 Thoughts From The Weekend (Kool-Aid, Lemons and Salt)
- Thread starter Ketchum
- Start date
I've been writing about the issues in this program for months. This is exactly what I've been suggesting for a while was the actual reality.
Not much direction when your OL is so bad. If they blocked well we could have run the ball.
No. I think that focusing on anything outside of the Ark game is insignificant. It’s a completely different team at this point.
elephant in the room?!? Outside of 3 “out of this world” plays are we not talking about the biggest beat down ever?
I think the tale of the tape from yesterday pretty much dispels the myth that putting Karic into the starting lineup was somehow going to be an upgrade. Not sure if there's another viable starter for the OL beyond him.
I think we do beat arky in a rematch with CT at QB.
And you have to understand the team that played Tech/tcu/ou is not the same team that played Arky, bc the most important position on the field changed.
If they can play right away and you get top players I would take as many as we can. We need 2 OL next year 1 edge speed rusher and one LB.
It's not a completely different team. Far from it. That's literally the point.No. I think that focusing on anything outside of the Ark game is insignificant. It’s a completely different team at this point.

The defense is missing dudes with a mean streak in them, it feels like the D line just goes through the motions.
why wouldn't arkansas still own the line of scrimmages?
Off the top of my head Wanya Morris looked pretty solid filling in along the right side of OU's offensive line after their starting RT went down with injury and Cain Madden has done a great job for Notre Dame this season.
I'm sure there's others I could dig for, but those are two I know have made an impact.
I'm glass half full. And I look at the explosiveness this fledgling program has proven in the first six games. It should be blowing our minds at what we've done so far. A FRESHMAN receive gets 260 yards receiving? In the Texas ou game? Come on. I hate our loss as much as anybody. But I love the future. Come one, people. It's gonna be all right. Get it?
PK defense feels too much of a gimic, get back to the 4-3 and stuff the run.
A quarterback that just dropped 48 on OU would be able to score points against arky.
I don't want to appear to be taking sides here but with all due respect man you sound pretty angry. Take a step back for a second. Look at your signature line about the truth setting you free. We're in the process of discovering the truth about where this team truly is. @Ketchum posting today is about discussing new facts after we actually play the games.
I think @Anwar Richardson put it pretty well today about not letting the off season narratives setting expectations for this team. I don't think that OB is the only media outlet that might have done that.
The reality of the situation is the reporting done in the off season is largely from inside sources, are those insiders going to volunteer, "no, we're doing a bad job, but don't worry, we'll be ready for the regular season". I don't think that's a reasonable expectation to have. Some of the reporting is facts, some is guesswork, and some of it is opinion that you have to remember to take with a grain of salt.
We as fans need to remember to temper our expectations sometimes or at least maintain some sort of healthy skepticism.
I'm with you, and disappointed that the team doesn't appear ready. Just maybe pump the brakes on lashing out?
Like I said, you didn't read the article. Your accusations and name-calling are insulting.
Have a good night. You'll forgive me if I don't view your making things up as being glass half full.
True, but you have also at times been swept up in the moment of other games where UT won big and felt that some progress has been made. I think that there are signs of life in some of the areas of concern.
Except for OU, it is not clear how good UT has to be to win. That won't be true in the SEC.
I think Texas will be favorites in all the remaining games.
I agree with your take. I just don’t think the remaining teams are very good. I could be wrong. We will find out a lot next week.
So a team’s chances (or better yet, outlook) can’t change by one switch at QB?
Texas is elite on offense and historically poor right now on defense.
That can lead to a variety of outcomes each week.
Of course, but that change doesn't wipe away everything,. It's just pretending to think otherwise.So a team’s chances (or better yet, outlook) can’t change by one switch at QB?
I never understood the push to put him in. I’ve seen very few true freshman who can start and play well at a power five school.
Very true. I’m in total agreement with everything you are saying.
I just don’t think okie st is as good as most do. I think this is a down year for the big 12.
OU caught all the breaks. The Hail Mary to mims. The two fumbles that somehow weren’t. Not gonna talk about refs cuz that’s not what we do. The list goes on.
Reality is… There were three insane low probability / high impact plays. Abnormal, once a season type plays, and they hit 3 of them. Inexcusable. But it happened. If that list is whittled to “2” instead, your article is telling us to dream big. We didn’t get boat raced today. All 48 of our points were warned. 21 of their 55 were gifts from the ****ing football gods that seem have a soft spot for these inbred mouth breathers.
sark wants em again in December. I do too. Horns by a million in that game!!!!
