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

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.
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.

Agreed. The Office and SNL have the highest peaks.
 
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. ;)
 
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

Be Ohio State.
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.

Ketch said the quiet part out loud.

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'm all for very limited rotation.

Will be, huh?
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?

Pretty massive rise between now and then.

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.
I do tend to agree with this. Who coaches the O, though?

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.
 
Nice extrapolation. Dr. Ketch with a stroke of a keyboard.
Dr. Ketch doesn't need to go to school for a degree to understand that no one with a brain injury should be playing football within 7 days of the brain injury.

Exactly. Did we need a doctor to tell us that Tua shouldn’t play four days after he fell down trying to walk back to the huddle after smacking his head off the turf?

it’s one thing to put a guy back on the field after an alleged injury to a joint or extremity that we clearly can’t understand the severity of from the outside and risk further injury to something that won’t necessarily affect his ability to function as a human in life. We just kind of have to take their word for it because we don’t have any evidence. An injury like Tua’s we all watched and could see all the evidence we need of a brain injury and we all know four days or even a week isn’t enough. No doctor necessary.

It's amazing the twists that some people will pull off in the name of common sense as it relates to brain trauma.

BUT, BUT, BUT... YOU'RE NOT A DOCTOR!
 
I think some of you are underestimating OU and how they will show up for the RRS. Hope I’m wrong and we blow them out
 
I like rotation if you are rotating in good players.
That we agree on. Sometimes you need reps to find out who those players are. Would still go back to you run up the score when possible so you have a chance to play a larger rotation in 2nd half with same schemes as what for you the lead to begin with. My biggest criticism of Sark is him going to a more conservative offense in 2nd half when up by 10 or more. That number probably needs ro be 21 or more and the less conservative is he brings in backups not that he turtles.

I think I would think that if they were absolutely decimated with injuries.
