Ketch's 10 Thoughts From The Weekend (Names of note from spring workouts)

[txfight]

as a basic rule of thumb, I totally agree.

Not when it comes to Womens swimming. Too soon?

 

[HuffTex]

Put me in camp Waffle House. Kerbey Lane is overrated and I’ve felt that way since college.

Kerbey Lane is one of those breakfast places your college gf, who eats pancakes 2x per year, raves about. Waffle House is what it is. A real oil using, real butter having, scatter, smothered and covered hash brown's having, piece of Americana.

 

[Ketchum]

My favorite office slap:

I miss that show.

 

[Ketchum]

well done on the slaps. Did you come up with the list on your own? Impressive

I did. My brain works in distorted ways!

 

[Ketchum]

Was there much buzz about arch when he left 🇬🇪 georgia ? @Ketchum

I'm not completely sure. I wasn't stalking the UGA websites like I was Bama this weekend.

 

[Ketchum]

You still show Drew Sanders at Alabama. He transferred to Arkansas.

I was listing where they signed.

 

[Ketchum]

I knew the analysis was focused on Texas linebacker prospects only, and that Hicks was from Ohio.

I was just mentioning Hicks in the conversation, based on his star ranking and nfl success.

There is a tendency to categorize the analysis of star rankings by position group and state. It’s understandable, as a logical means to organize data.

The question I’m more curious about is who does Anthony Hill most closely profile?

Sergio, Orakpo, Hicks, Malik, DJ?

Or Texas LB’s that went out of state… Browning, blackshear, Josh white, Perkins.

He's kind of his own level of unicorn.

Damn communist.

I would rather eat where your girl friend wants to eat.

 

[The Gnome Man]

Ketch, do you have a theory as to why LB’s in Texas underperform be expectations? Is there something about systems or 7 on 7 that’s leads them to play other positions?

 

[dragworm]

@Ketchum Moe Howard laughs at your slap list!

 

[HuffTex]

That's odd, because I figured you for a >2x per year pancake fellow.

 

[Ketchum]

I think it's a combination of all of those things, but this problem pre-dates 7 on 7.

If you go back to 1997, only Derrick Johnson would be considered a hit of all the big-name prospects that came out in those years.

 

[Ketchum]

@Ketchum Moe Howard laughs at your slap list!

There were too many to count.

 

[Ketchum]

I didn't say I wasn't. I just prefer to go to 10 different 2X per year eats.

 

[Ketchum]

I will add that there's another component of the Alabama visit and the aftermath that is VERY good for Texas IMO. I just can't say it out loud.

 

[RLong68]

Bring on the Masters? That’s it?

It’s too early in the morning for this Geoffrey. Tell me like I’m 5.

Interesting nugget buried deep in the thread

Alabama offering another QB would be a good thing but I'm sure you could mention that if it happened so its got to be something more source specific that you don't have clearance to run with..

Thanks for at least saying the item even without specifics

I wish I could say more, but it's not my place.

 

[HuffTex]

I wish I could say more, but it's not my place.

What about Gillette's visit to Bama? Does Texas still have a shot? I know his family is from Alabama.

 

[Baguette]

Manning leaves Bama in complete silence? What is this, A Quiet Place III?

Spooky, ominous, eerie. Take your pick.

 

[ColladorUT]

I wish I could say more, but it's not my place.

Just reading between the thread leaves here, but my takeaway is that Saban is retiring and being replaced by Mangino. Way too obvious.

 

[tmoney121212]

Number 10 is very interesting @Ketchum

 

[Dave C2]

I've been to Kerbey Lane on Guadalupe about 5-6 times on Sunday mornings after football games (I live in Arlington) and while I like it, I have never considered it to be great. That said, however, coach Marion is way out of bounds on comparing it to Waffle House.

 

[Dave C2]

Card the most talented player in the program? Not Bijan?

I think you misinterpreted who Ketch thinks the most talented player of the last 20 years on paper is.

 

[Dave C2]

Still trying to gain trust in the baseball team. I ain't there yet. I'll gain trust if they take series against TCU

You and a lot of other people, I would assume. You don't really know what you are going to get except a lot of grit and effort...sort of like the basketball team.

 

[jamimer]

Dr D slapping John Stossel has to be on that list.

... Frank Gore will one day be voted into the NFL Hall of Fame, but the truth of the matter is that any running back that only makes All-Pro once in his life should only be allowed to be inducted into the NFL Fall of Very good, 16,000 rushing yards, be damned.

Let's be honest, it's been the Hall of Very Good (or maybe the Hall of FFL Good) for a while now.

I think Gore will get in because he was a decent FFL producer, which ups his name recognition. A less flashy guy like Darren Woodson, who should be in the Hall, will never get there.

Failure on my part.

no doubt
