Ketch's 10 Thoughts From the Weekend (Pulling a play from the Mack Brown playbook...)

[txfight]

Seriously though, is anyone from Orangebloods coming up to cover the game?

 

[texaspaulo]

Honestly, I'd rather not. I'm running out of steam as it is with that so the last thing I want is for it to get serious.

That's too bad, but I get it. Favorite part of the CFB weekend for me, win or lose. I appreciate your efforts!

'95-'96 I worked in the SID office, '97 I interned at KVUE, 2003-2005 I worked at News 8 Austin.

I was going to guess it was around the timeframe Clyde Littlefield was our coach

Let's see what happens after Iowa State. I think that will determine the complaint level.

You're correct

of course.

I honestly don't remember. There were two incredibly hot girls that worked there then and I was usually just paying attention to them. I'm shallow like a kiddie pool.

I'm sure our paths crossed quite a bit though.

who did you work under?

Amy, John, Dave?

I worked mostly under Amy. She was from East Lansing wasn't she? But it was AHOD for a home football game. I remember when ND came to town and I was in the pressbox just after kickoff. I went to use one of the tiny men's rooms and Willie Nelson literally hit me with the door while he was on his way out. He had just sung the National Anthem a few minutes before that and he and Darrell Royal had gone to the men's room. Three hours later I was in the room just outside of the visitor's locker room where they did the visiting coaches press conference and I was standing next to Lou Holtz. Pretty surreal day for a college kid. I worked a bunch of basketball games too.

 

[txfight]

of course.

Come on Ketch, you promised you'd give me the real scoop on CS over a couple of beers. Which bar are we meeting at after the game? I'm buying...

1) Believe it or not, I do learn, even if slowly. You guys don't want to hear it from me. Trying to respect that as much as I can.

I was cringing at the thought of reading this column after yesterday expecting a political tidal wave f'ing up my Horn football news. And I damn near hopped out of my seat with a Mack Brown clap when it was over. Damn fine job you sexy beast.

I said it on this board a few years back when people were talking about him then, but I'd be shocked if Del Conte left TCU. He's obsessed with TCU/Ft Worth.

TCU can't pay him quite what Texas does, but they can pay him more than what he wants and needs, and money isn't everything to him.

His daughters also go to school in FW and I really really don't think he leaves before they graduate high school.

@Ketchum How long a leash do you think Shane has? It's pretty much assumed he'll be the starter, but if he struggles does Sam come in or do they let Shane ride it out?

I think it remains to be seen. What happens is it's 14-0 on Thursday night and the offense can't out points on the board?

I think Herman has to feel his way through this.

He is the No.1 target in the minds of some.
