Ketch's 10 Thoughts From The Weekend (Reality Checks)

[Ketchum]

@Ketchum good article, very informative. I’ll add, we probably should not overlook the game at Florida next season…they turned into a good football team once Lagaway took over QB.

No doubt.

 

[lastcall8]

Damn how did I not know Whataburger has chicken fajitas?!!

 

[Ketchum]

100% on Sark needing better talent. We can be mad all we want to about the Cotton Bowl, we can say that Sark didn’t do enough or Quinn didn’t play well enough.

Compare the Texas RB and WR room to Ohio State’s. Chip and Sark and pretty close as play callers IMO so that’s a wash…

Yet this game was 14-14 and then one yard away from 21-21.

I’ll always value homegrown talent but championships will be won in the portal for those schools you listed in tier 2.

Gotta kill it in both recruiting and the Portal. Every year.

 

[God of Tits and Wine]

This loss was worse than 2001 for me because the officials made so many bad calls that affected the outcome of the game. It makes it harder to swallow. Off to get fajitas at WB.

 

[Ketchum]

lol at Guilbeau and the draft. I mean, come on. Guy was easily the weakest of the starting 5 in the backfield and just can’t cover, period. He’s lucky we faced many a mediocre Qb this year.

Arch- I have to admit to having the go with Arch for the future when Q went down. And in hindsight, you can see the rationale and it turns out we may been in the same spot. I don’t really fault Sark for riding with Q. Tough choices. Had we not made the semifinal / playoff, we’d have blown many other players shot setting up the future. Great analogy on Mock / Vince.

Sounds like you are underrating Guilbeau significantly.

 

[Ketchum]

Does Guilbeau project to get drafted if he goes pro?

Of course. He's fantastic.

After all, I hadn't heard from this person in November when Texas beat the Aggies in College Station or in December when the Aggies choked in a bowl game that I can't remember the name of.

LOL.
I totally forgot to check the score of their game. Had no idea they’d lost their bowl game. Ha ha ha. Thanks for the laugh!

 

[Bevo 24]

It was the best day of their year.

Agreed.

 

[Ketchum]

@Ketchum

So is Flood developing our guys?

I see your Goosby and I’ll raise you Cole Hutson and DJ Campbell

Is he just an average coach in your mind?

With the talent we had (supposedly) at OL this year, I figured we’d be better at the run game and protecting QE

Yes on some. No on enough.

 

[Ketchum]

It definitely would. Any chance you think Brandon Baker would look around?

Nah, no one is paying him more money.

 

[sbmartin2]

Late B/S assuming a one year shelf life, you’d trade Muhammad for a comparable level WR in the portal?

 

[Ketchum]

Just get me a kicker and not a clown. They have one job. If we are going to win a MNC a game will be won by a kicker. We have seen what our kicker has done...TWICE!! in an important game.

One job !!!

i feel you

 

[Ketchum]

And there’s a good chance that Quinn’s QBR would be higher than last season…

No question.

 

[Ketchum]

special item.

I fell asleep with them in the lead. Nice chuckle to see how it ended when I woke up.

Give me an example of the level of receiver we're talking about.

 

[streettopeschel]

The Texans are in much better shape than the Cowboys? No shit.

much, much, much, much better.

 

[Debogail]

Truly, one of your best! Kudos.

I don’t think there’s a WR comparable to Muhammad currently in the portal. But in theory, let’s say Greathouse from ND or Wesco from Clemson entered. Make the trade or no?

Thanks!

I'd take Wesco.

 

[longhorn-m]

Add some cheese. Can’t miss

 

[blair17]

Good stuff all around. All in on the St Elmo’s fire sequel.

 

[#1 Tower]

Ketch - was it ever confirmed that Arch had a concussion in the first half and wasn’t available in the second half?

 

[Ketchum]

I did not know we had a fan club!

 

[Ketchum]

We haven't had anyone deny it.

 

[sbmartin2]

I'd take Wesco.

I agree. I think a legit #1 WR with Arch elevates the offense more than Muhammad can elevate the defense. All theoretical of course, definitely want Muhammad to stay in the fold. Just curious on the hierarchy in your eyes

Wesco is a future 1st round pick. I'm not sure Muhammad is.

 

[ZoomAir34]

Going to be interesting for the next couple years when it comes to the portal. This team needs big playmakers, like a Bijan or Worthy.

I think Texas will be fine, a favorable schedule to compete but someone needs to step up in the off season.

I'd cancel the Ohio State game. A loss really eliminates some wiggle room.

 

[rylo7956rylo]

completely fair.

Do you think Cam is a guard in the NFL and would he come back to play guard? I think we would be an road grade for the running game if he played guard. Any word on the OL visitor this weekend? Are we feeling good we beat his NIL offer

 

[Swimbait_ATX]

If the men’s hoops are NIT, what are the women?
Horns men played #1 and #2 to the last 30sec in both games. Women were boat raced in the first quarter, and Vic gets a pass because the women couldn’t make a bucket

 

[Bevo 24]

Arch will be held to a higher standard in year one vs what QE was held to simply because expectations are higher for the Team. Two years prepping for his first start Arch should be way ahead of where Quinn was as well.

That’s a lie.

 

[stdwmb18]

@Ketchum any truth to the rumor floating around here that someone pulled from another site sayin Bond not being welcome back even if he wanted to return? Very vague comment about him being not the best teammate the second half of the season
