Ketch's 10 Thoughts From the Weekend (Now is the time for Tom Herman to be a star ...)

[Jamaicashane]

Great write up as usual ketch. But I want to especially thank you for your kind tribute to the late Senator John McCain. While I don't know what side you vote for in your private booth, your postings would indicate a strong liberal slant. For you to show such respect for a man who likely has sat across the aisle from who you've voted for (sorry for the assumption here), speaks volumes. I wish everyone could be more objective no matter what their political leanings are. Perhaps the late Senator McCain provided us all a good example of that. For the most part, he followed his heart to the end. He truly was a "maverick." He was a great man, and to an extent you are as well for your generous and kind words to a lost American hero.

I disagree that the French are trying to police serena's or women's bodies. Women are afforded way more room in their outfits in sports than men are. Way more. In golf, tennis or whatever. You have standards or you don't. It's not political. It's not policing women's bodies. Its wardrobe standards. Male golfers can't even wear shorts for crying out loud. Are we policing men's bodies? Where are the feminists for equality in that argument?

I fully agree with this. Furthermore, it's Wimbledon. They are a bastion of tradition which makes them special.

Meanwhile, the skill talent is good enough to win with at any school in the country.

Unfair to Herman and untrue. I'm not sure how you can say our skill talent is as good as OU or WVa or better than TCU, and we are still talking about the conference much less nationally. Besides, QB by far is the most important piece of utilizing skill talent and putting Ehlinger up with Grier is ridiculous and there is no reason to put him ahead of Murray or Robinson at this point.

Incremental improvement, an 8-4 record and an offensive led win over any of our top 4 opponents would be fine IMO.

I watch Andy Liscano's kitchen cops segments here in Corpus Christi

Personally I watch that station for the weather girl/reporter. .

Was thinking more running backs, wide receivers and tight ends.

OU - Anderson, Sermon, Brown, Lamb, Calcaterra
TCU - Anderson, Reagor, Turpin
WVa - Sills, Jennings, Pettaway

You're still going too hard on Herman. You're projecting his talent too hard. I give him a A- if we put up 28 ppg and 450 ypg against OU, TCU and USC.

 

[HookemChargers]

@Ketchum is recruiting in state looking better for Texas next year compared to this year?

It would be almost impossible not to.

did they put everything into last year and forget about this years class?

I'm going too hard on Herman? I rebuff that.

Also, I never said Texas had the best skill guys. I said they had skill guys that you could win anywhere in the country with.

 

[Ketchum]

It's hard to know exactly where to put the finger. It's multiple tings happening all at once.

There are other world views that exist out in the world outside of your own. Listening, learning and understanding doesn't make you weak.

I just want to say, "Thanks, Ketch" for posting the local coverage of Mack's hiring, as it allows me to show my kids video proof of when I had a glorious head of hair!

 

[BlackStallionMexicanFood]

So Ketch gonna do another podcast here anytime soon? The last one I listened to was a couple of weeks ago.

Oh trust me, I know there are other world views, I’ve lived in two countries outside of the US and traveled to countless others, I get there are injustices and REAL issues that need attention, domestically and abroad -tennis outfit isn’t one of them and that segment represented stupid on steroids -

 

[LongHorn2021]

I was in student section for your game #4 against Missouri

we had one come out on Thursday.

We will have quite a bit more coming very soon. Very soon.

Knowing there are other world views isn't enough.

KetchBone. This is dumb. Mens tennis also has dress-codes. There is not a Slam out there that would allow a male tennis player to wear a catsuit.

This isn't a women's rule. This is a Serena rule. It's a mandate that hasn't even been explained in any way whatsoever and it has some far-reaching implications when you consider who she is and what she represents to the game.

There's some intellectual short cuts being taken in this discussion from some of you.

 

[Geoff From McCallum High]

Ketchbone. Your institutional memory of tennis is not very deep.

This kind of crap has happened before.

“Play was stopped for the day due to bad lighting with the match tied at one set all. The umpire Alan Mills instructed Anne White to wear a more appropriate outfit the next day; she did, and lost the third set.”

 

[J Tull]

But, it wasn't more impressive than Martin's performance, even if he had more yards.

I thought we made Heisman candidates out of both of them. Damn we had some horrible Ds during that time...reminds me of Charlie's 2nd and 3rd year Ds. Just awful.

 

[SarkAfterDark]

Who here enjoys having to wade through discussion about the societal impacts, or lack thereof, of women's tennis outfits just to get to football items?

 

[Cure4BizCancer]

Not only would our leadership have fired Urban Meyer, had the shoe been on the other foot, but they would have hired a woman to replace him.

Well, at least someone that dresses like a woman.

 

[Cure4BizCancer]

Not having the same beliefs as Ketch makes you weak.

Your not really addressing the issue.

And I'd suggest not calling me Ketch Bone again.

I think those Mackovic defenses were actually worse.

Did that really happen?

a. It was a mere sentence out of a novel.
b. There's a group of guys that just can't help fighting the terrible fight any chance they can. They chose to turn the thread in this direction because they can't help themselves.

In some cases, yes. When it comes to self-awareness, respect for others and simple consideration for all, yeah, some on this board and in this thread are lacking.

 

[Ketchum]

Be better.
