Ketch's 10 Thoughts From The Weekend (Pooooooor Aggies)
- Thread starter Ketchum
- Start date
Thanks fort posting. Perhaps a very mini-part. We have to be mindful that the available candidate list wasn't ripe with real options.
@Ketchum, do you think daily interviews from the football players signed with OB is possibly a little much? I wonder how much worthy content they can provide, day after day. The players tend to never really say much anyway, in terms of real valuable insight into the program or what’s going on (understandably so, they don’t have jurisdiction). Just curious if having a talk with them every day will bring good content after the first few interviews.
Hopefully it doesn’t get in their way from a daily process standpoint either, but then again, they want to be semi-pro and sign a contract, then they ought to be able to fulfill it without issue.

It won't be every day.
More like 2-3 times per week. The goal is to do it all over zoom for the most part in small windows that don't crowd them for time.
Hell yeah he was. More evil than Darth Vader. Dude straight walked his "friends" to their deaths to serve his purpose.
We call that Monday around here.
It's not like he blew up an entire planet to prove a point.
Ahh ok makes sense. I don’t know where i got everyday from. Thanks for the reply.
Most of the villains are interesting or entertaining, but not believable in any real world sense. Chigurh seemed to be the embodiment of real world evil (as McCarthy and the Coens fully intended).
He very nearly made my list. He's an all-time great villain. I just preferred a few others.
I think that’s the case, at least without a special session. Which the Governor would never call for legislation he would veto.
If someone where to make Blood Meridian...this guy would win in a heartbeat.
And better players help lead to more wins…hence the chicken or the egg on which comes first…being in the SEC gives Sark a better chance to succeed longterm…
This column felt like eating blueberry cheesecake from Hester’s Coffeeshop in Corpus Christi with a bold dark roast coffee. Mmmmmmmmmm
I think you may be missing my point or I may not be explaining my point well. If I stated that it won't help recruiting then I misspoke - it will. The point that I was trying to make is that you still have to recruit better than your competition to win - and the competition just got exponentially harder. So, while we may recruit better, we have to recruit better than schools that have owned spots of the top 7 recruiting classes over the last few years because now we have to actually play these teams.
1) It doesn't create an advantage vis a vis OU. They just gained the same advantage.
2) It may tip the scales vs. OSU, Alabama, LSU (our out of state competition for blues) - but only if we are winning.
3) If A&M wins and we don't, it doesn't help that much (see 1985 thru 1998)
So, we could actually recruit better but not see a significant bump in W-L. In a zero sum game, we would have to start smoking both OU and A&M in recruiting while keeping Bama, OSU, LSU out of the state by actually winning those battles also. It will be hard to smoke those schools unless we start beating these schools on the field. Thats where a guy like Mack Brown (or Jimbo Fisher if we are being fair) is needed. You have to close great recruits based on a vision versus actual results. Is Sark that guy? We will see soon enough.
Great points. I think of it this way... we haven't gotten to the end of the road yet, but at least we are now on the damn road instead of hacking our way though the jungle. Joining the SEC won't fix everything, but it clears a lot of obstacles that were keeping us from fixing things.
The other thing that we have to address is development, which is why the transfer portal is not a real solution. We have actually recruited pretty well over the last decade, but have developed poorly. We are entering a league where you need to recruit and develop blue chip talent to have any chance of reaching the top. You also have to put them into a scheme and game plan that will enable them to win.
We may take some lumps early, but you get better by playing the best. And we were not playing the best in the Big 12. I am looking forward to seeing how we stack up, and to watching the sleeping giant eventually awake.
How could leave out Little Bill Dagget in The Unforgiven or was that an oversight? The man was pure evil.
Oh you need to. Not sure Hauer's character is top 10, but you'll never see him the same after. The Hitcher is a solid film.
There's still time on the clock from the 2020 TCU-Texas game. The QB took 3 steps out of bounds on that safety before the clock hit 0:00.
The play begins at the 2:54:13 mark:

okay, that was me trying to be funny, lol. I am not that important, haha, but these new hires are!!
I am looking forward to seeing was “magic fairy dust” @Ketchum will sprinkle on his empire. “Growing is hard, staying relevant is hard”.
