Ketch's 10 Thoughts From the Weekend (Patterson has been UT's daddy lately and that needs to change)

Sobering reality about the lack of improvement on offense. And I'm not at all sure Vahe has improved.

If Matt Campbell isn't Big 12 Coach of the Year, the award should never be handed out again.
===========================================================

I've been wondering if he might have a shot at National Coach of the Year. I guess Kirby Smart would be in the lead for that, however.
 
I think brain injuries require more time.

It's like OBs have missed the whole news cycle re concussions, CTE - it's amazing - it's not a "rub some dirt on it" injury.

It tells you a lot about our fans and how they really feel about the students that choose to play at Texas, their health be damned as long as "their" guy gets the start.

Agree.

Unfortunately, I'm not sure if Sam has an adult male figure in his life lookikg out for his long term interests with father no longer with us.
 
He did and accomplished his goal. Mou continues to do his thing. Nah, he’s never won anything of note. ;)
That's not what anyone suggested. What's his record against Klopp, just for the record?
 
1. Why are we not seeing more DL recruits wanting to play at Texas after the year they have had on D?
2. How many de-commitments do you think we have?
3. How many transfers do you see for this year any 2 deep?
1. It's not an awesome year in-state at that position and Texas started behind the eight-ball with a few. Pluus, the staff hasn't been very good in that area, if we're being honest.
2. Not many. Out of state guys are always the risk.
3. From the two-deep? Maybe a couple, but two-deep guys usually stick around.

"What I won't allow is for Beck to be slotted into a spot where he gets ALL the blame when things go bad and NONE of the credit when things go good."

Good for you bud. I am by no means a fan of Beck. I think I have seen enough to state he isn't going to call games that will get us to a championship level. I think.

What I do know is this.

This o line is horrendous.
Neither qb fits what HERMAN wants to do.
He is trotting out a true freshman or true sophomore behind this o line. That is a scary proposition with a good o line.
Little to no run game to lean on. (Maybe that is changing with the young guys)

There is a lot of variables to consider before yelling fire in a crowded theater on this offense.....yet. Beck called probably his best game of the year this weekend. Let's see if they can build on it going forward.

good post
 
If Ehlinger is available and Texas plays him, this article is waste of time. Just, weird.

I love the number of doctors we have on this site, especially the concussion experts.

I’m no head doc but I’ve had a diagnosed consission due to a auto accident. After that experience I will always defer to the experts over journalists and coaches.
a.It was one section out of 10, so even if you thought it was a waste, there were nine other sections.
b. I'm no doc, but I care more about these kids than I do about football. Do you?

agreed. It's amazing to hear people basically call you a jerk (nicely putting it) for not stressing football first.
 
Pretending that this staff operates in a static universe is intellectually lazy.

Ignoring reports (by another site ) that Mehringer moved from the field to the booth is intellectually lazy.

Seeing a dramatic change in playcalling the week that he goes to the booth is probably just circumstantial.

Are these proof of anything? No. Is it reasonable to speculate that Mehringer, a former playcaller moving to the booth was done to affect the playcalling? Uh, yeah.
a. Who pretended that the staff works in a static universe.
b. No one ignored Mehringer moving up to the booth.
c. Let's not pretend that things were THAT dramatic, they were just better. More tactically tight.

Are you speculating that Mehringer ,a guy whose position has struggled all season in various answers, was the No.1 reason for improvement this week.

Don't be lazy, finish your thought.
 
Yet he was cleared.

If he’s medically fit and has s good week I’m definitely starting him and I bet Herman does too
I don't really care if he has a good week. I'd be more cautious.

He was medically cleared vs. Oklahoma State as well.

You’re not a doctor Ketch, c’mon, and even if you were a brain surgeon you haven’t diagnosed Sam. It’s just so speculative for any of us to opine on complicated medical situations none of us know anything about.

Don’t you think the the UT doctors (and probably other doctors offering 2nd opinions) are being very careful with this young man?
You can't be too careful. That's what I'm a proponent of... carefulness.

Not a single thought, at least a word or two on the World Series?

Kind of odd IYAM.
I posted it in the middle of game five. Kind of hard to comment too much without knowing the outcome of a critical game five.

And I didn't feel like getting into it over a particular Astros player.

let's see your top five.

My response was not really about list 5 other decommits that were more important, but rather the gushing of what his presence would be to this offense, SPECIFICALLY in light of how Brewer has played. I have NO doubt that as early as next season, Brewer will be a better TE than Smythe has shown in his Domer career. Essentially Brewer is on course to be a bigger version of David Thomas.
 
* I hate that the Eagles are good.

I thought I would never see the day... :D

Jason Peters being out could really impact the Eagles chances later down the road. Vaiti (sp) is an okay filler but you can bet NFL teams are going to exploit his absence. Vaiti is going to need a lot of help from a RB in passing situations.
 
why would it be a joke?
I haven't seen anything from any Big 12 team that makes me think they belong in the playoff. Certainly not from OU. I'm as big a B12 homer as I can be, and I think our depth is as good as any conference in the land, but we don't have any clear powers at the top end. Texas will be there soon, but in the meantime I think the B12 will (and should) miss the CFP this year.

easy now. That's getting a little carried away IMO.

And Brewer is just a small peg in the offense THIS year. Smythe's presence would greatly impact the offense this year in a number of capacities. It's the difference between having a bunch of JAGs and a guy that will start for an NFL team some day.

did you miss the flag planting in Columbus?

I'm not sure you're nearly the Big 12 homer you are claiming to be.

Oklahoma kicked Ohio State's ass in Columbus. You're letting confirmation bias take over if that doesn't stand out.
