Ketch's 10 Thoughts From the Weekend (Ok, let's talk about what happened this weekend...)

[ZachattheDisch]

Sick of seeing Texas losing games and top shelf Texas high school talent year after year after year.

same feeling here.

 

[ZachattheDisch]

Also, friends with Brett Robin and his family. They were shocked to receive an offer.

 

[65HornInTacoma]

In the simplest terms, the most convenient definitions, Herman ****ed it up and is not who we had hoped he was.

 

[WFLIP]

Endless Summer. What a great film. I still have it on vhs somewhere.

 

[MauiHorn]

We have to do what we can to win the 4/5 star lineman. They make a 3 star RB and average QB look good.

 

[MauiHorn]

Last Dance is by far the best sport documentary ever.

 

[Shaunsters7]

Not sure I follow that. Drayton just landed the best back in the country and is close to locking down the top back in nation for 2022.

If you’re talking Blue for 22. He said this weekend LSU is #1 on his list.

Why is the sky always falling. This article acts like we never get the cute and poplar girl. This is what happens when you flip entire staff and recruiting is about relationships. I think we are creating or supporting don’t come to elite Texas narrative. If a 17 year old is reading this message board the feeling would be Texas is not ready for me. Positive energy is needed team. Herman’s got this and he is doing all the things to lead this team. Come on Texas Fight!!!

You likely never had it back when Stubb’s had his place in Lubbock. I recall it being damn good barbecue.

Austin’s outpost is average to good. Stubbs in Lubbock was a legend.

 

[Carhorn]

Fantastic Lies was one of the best documentaries I have seen.

 

[CS]

For the record, Scottie Pippen can never be ranked ahead of Charles Barkley on any all-time NBA players list. Period. It shouldn't annoy me, but it does. You can rank him ahead of all the Robins you want, but he can't rank ahead of other all-time great Batmen.

Completely agree. I don’t think people remember how dominant he was in his prime. Pippen was never that good.

Austin’s outpost is average to good. Stubbs in Lubbock was a legend.

Sounds like you may have eaten barbecue in Lubbock.

Did you ever eat a barbecue restaurant on 50th Street between Memphis and Indiana, north side of 50th? I want to say it was called The Roadhouse, but not sure. Good beef ribs.

Edit: It was the Texas Spoon.

 

[Ketchum]

Chairman Powell isn’t bullish on attended sports events anytime soon:

View embedded media

I'm not assuming crowds will be involved.

 

[Ketchum]

Jason Barron was best friends with a neighbor of mine that had moved to Austin from Brownwood. I remember meeting him and couldn't believe he was given a scholly.

Mack loved that he was hard-nosed.

 

[Ketchum]

You likely never had it back when Stubb’s had his place in Lubbock. I recall it being damn good barbecue.

Correct.

 

[Ketchum]

Very true. People think they do, but once the game starts you wont care.

I definitely don't need them for pro football.

Great article Ketch. Lot of people on this board needed to read it and realize where we’re at currently.

Why is negative recruiting against us so effective? Seems like we always hear about that, but we never hear Texas using negative recruiting to their advantage. Are we just above it and think that the program should sell itself?

 

[Ketchum]

You can only have one. Liverpool signs Timo Werner. Texas signs Wheaton?

Wheaton means that all kinds fo good things happened thatr might impact the business positively.

Give me the one that impacts OB.

 

[Ketchum]

Great read man. A-f*ing-men. None of where we are should be a surprise. He just fired almost everyone for god sakes and we are in the middle of a pandemic. If that doesn’t spell out the issues, nobody can help you. I’m not going to freak out, but if he can’t win games and pull a top 5-10 class out of this, we will just be playing out the string.

This just crossed my mind, but what is gonna happen to high school football this season?

I'm thinking we won't see it.

 

[Ketchum]

Ketch, did you mean Sterns instead of Brown? I don't see Chris Brown being drafted.

I do.

 

[Rotarran9116]

until we get a coaching staff that actually DEVELOPS players while they are here, then this is what we are (7-8 wins a year).

We can't seem to do that. Wonder what it is about Texas that has led us to one elite hire since DKR left

 

[Ketchum]

Also, friends with Brett Robin and his family. They were shocked to receive an offer.

That ended up being a win for Texas.

 

[Ketchum]

Endless Summer. What a great film. I still have it on vhs somewhere.

Out of this world good.

 

[Ketchum]

Last Dance is by far the best sport documentary ever.

I thought OJ was better.

I think the point of what was written was to stress the sky isn't falling, but there aren't rainbows in the sky, either.

 

[Ketchum]

Completely agree. I don’t think people remember how dominant he was in his prime. Pippen was never that good.

Jordan's greatest quality was rendering the other all-time great players in that era to his bitches. Barkley thought he was great until he played Jordan in the Finals. Then he realized there are levels to greatness and he wasn't on his.

I think what some call negative recruiting, I just call recruiting.

It’s a combination of relentless media support for the SEC, SEC commissioner running rings around the other conferences (bye week vs the citadel late in the year), illegal payments (Hi Tennessee), and finally lots of money as a result of the first point making perception become reality.

We can come back but we have to win.

klopp is a luxury for you guys! Texas needs wins.

@Ketchum right now does Texas land 1 of Foster, twins, Wheaton
