Ketch's 10 Thoughts From The Weekend (No excuses, time to whip OU)

That's best case scenario and assuming current players (and 5stars) don't portal out. I am not so sure the best case scenario for Jimbo plays out in aggieville.
I'm pretty meh on 5-10. You can flip them in any order and I'd be like, " I guess."
Our top 5s are very close (identical 1-3), but I would slide Justified into the #4 spot, and bump Sopranos/GOT down one spot each.
As for the final 5 on your list, the problems with shows like the Office and SNL is that both have had multiple season droughts where they hover somewhere between not good to flat unwatchable. I love the Office seasons 1-7, and I loved SNL from around 1987-2007, but the last two seasons of the Office and the last decade of SNL have been bad enough to cost them some points in the legacy department.
Had the Office pulled the plug after season 7, I would call it the greatest sitcom ever. Because of seasons 8-9, I slide them in behind Seinfeld and Parks and Rec. And I would give the Veep spot on the list to Curb your Enthusiasm (personal preference)
Overall a very good list.
Oh, some people had all kinds of benefit of the doubt to give.
I think the the comedy shows come down to re-watchability.
I've seen them all. If on a desert island, what am I taking with me?
The best of The Office is just in a different galaxy to all of them. Its low moments are not great, but it's highs can't be matched.
The best of The Office isn't chuckles stuff, it's ****ing roll on the floor laughing.
The No. 1-ranked Texas volleyball moved to 11-0 over the weekend with a sweep in Lubbock. Of those 11 wins, two were over the No. 6 team in the most recent rankings (Ohio State), while the team also has wins over No. 7 Minnesota and No. 9 Stanford. As it stands, Baylor is the only other ranked team in the Big 12.
=================================================================
So, I guess someone needs to tell Joey McGuire that apparently volleyball doesn't run through Lubbock.

No one mentioned volleyball until page 8. But, if I had forgotten to mention their game from the weekend, I would catch some hit scolding.
not an outrageous thought. Second best team in the SEC makes the playoffs, third doesn't. Aggies will be on the bubble in 2024.
Ketch, I think your innuendo regarding the Ags willingness to spend 95 mil to buy out Fisher’s contract somehow translated to what you perceive to be the money flowing freely to recruiting is a cheap shot that doesn’t need to be stated in your column. I am a diehard Longhorn, can’t stand the Ags or the Sooners, but IMO that kind of crap is out of line, and wreaks of jealousy. Just my thoughts. Otherwise, you pretty much always write a helluva column
I think until the other team taps out you stay aggressive. And if we're being honest we could probably play 1st half offense/defense with 2nd and 3rd string guys getting mixed in which helps depth and helps for a hoping kids there's a path to the field rather than turtle with the 1s.
Is it jealousy or a snide, yet truthful remark?
I'm not emotionally invested in their recruiting. In fact, I openly admit that I don't personally view them paying a kid before it's legal to be a big deal from my perspective vs. paying them a few months later the same amount of money. Paying is paying, all things being equal.
I get that not every player pans out and some will transfer but if you combine the 21, 22 and 23 classes they will have 11 5* and 11 6.0, 4*'s on the roster. That competes with the LSU 2020 and Georgia 2022 NFL draft classes. l love Aggy tears more than anyone but if they get a QB out of the Portal how can they not be great?
All of your recruiting stats back it up. LUS is a perfect example of a mediocre coach winning it all with Burrow at QB and NFL talent stacked at every position. Tony Buzbee can buy Jalon Daniels at 1% of the cost of buying out Jimbo and mystery coach #2.
maybe they don't but you gotta admit they are smart enough to figure out that buying future first round QBs from the portal for the next 10 years is a lot less money than buying out Jimbo Fisher.
Interesting topic for a K&A sometime? I like more rotation than Sark and less than Tom. I'm also pretty big on run the regular offense and defense with the replacements in an NFL preseason manner. You still try to score you still try to stop not just bend not break but you're doing it to build legit depth.
