Ketch's 10 Thoughts From The Weekend (The. Cold. Hard. Truth.)

[littleearl34]

Highlander 2 has to be in the conversation. That was awful.

 

[Ketchum]

Sure.

right on.

 

[Ketchum]

Speaking of the source of the curse, I give you LHN (IMO). Pride comes before the fall.

 

[muletrain24]

Lewis wasn't accused of murder.

No offense, but Ray Lewis was indicted on murder and aggravated assault charges. How is that not being accused of murder?

The chargers were dropped. He was just on hand when someone was murdered and his role has always been open for debate.

He'd catch a suspension in 2021 for sure.

 

[muletrain24]

No, he wasn't.

Redirect Notice

Yes, he was

 

[RLong68]

[Ketchum]

Yes, he was

Correct. I misspoke. I simply meant those charges were eventually dropped.

 

[Buddah318]

No, he wasn't.

yes he was. just looked it up. Settled on a plea agreement for his testimony.

edit: nvm see your response above

 

[Ketchum]

Hey, man, don't try to hide from the fact that you've been skunked in a couple of threads this morning.

Letting others do your work speaks to the slump you're in.

It's about three weeks going.

 

[muletrain24]

The chargers were dropped. He was never actually accused of murdering someone. He was just on the sight when someone was murdered and his role has always been open for debate.

Oh, so now we change the story? You said he wasn’t accused of murder and he was. Facts matter, but apparently, not to you. He was present at the murder of two individuals (which he lied about), his suit was missing (wonder why), and he pleaded out and his boys took the fall for him. You do understand how murder charges work right? Just because you didn’t stab the person doesn’t mean you aren’t accused of murder. It’s called being an accomplice.

LOL. Sure. Too bad you don't play golf. You'd be a scratch golfer your first time out by your scorecard.

I was wrong and mistaken in what I was trying to convey.

Again, I was wrong.

I'll come play golf with you. You been taking so many Ls that I need to give you something to feel good about.

Don't worry, I'll be here when you slap out of your slump.

 

[RLong68]

Ironic coming from a guy talking about someone else getting skunked. LOL.

 

[RLong68]

You do have a vivid imagination.

 

[Ketchum]

You do have a vivid imagination.

Indeed. I can also see.

It's ok that you're in a posting slump on Orangebloods. This basketball season has taken its toll on you.

 

[muletrain24]

Again, I was wrong.

All good.

 

[OldBlood]

His silence is telling. CDC goes into a quiet shell when he;'s about to let someone go if the last couple of changes are an indication.

Is there a prior relationship between CDC & Musselman to your knowledge?

Are we cursed? Seriously the last 10 years we pissed off some sort of higher power

(Buy) The Boogie Nights curse is still in play.

aug 26th, 2011.. the date the lhn started.. this is the reason for our curse.. just like when notre dame got their nbc contract and then sucked.. that is us now.

we gotta get over that.. fr.

But the 2010 season and Colt's injury happened first.

There is a connection via Damon Stoudemire, but not sure it's a strong one. But they likely know each other, as you said.

 

[darrenj]

Coleman getting into foul trouble threw off the entire game IMO. They never quite got over the mess that created.

Watching TX play offense in that game literally made me want to pull the little hair i have left out! I have no idea what they were trying to do. No hard screen and rolls and just floating around the perimeter. Kai Jones wanted nothing to do with the paint in that type of game.

I didn't think it was possible to lose a game by giving up only 53 pts but yes, yes it is.

Zero slip screens to force ACU to see a different look instead of the same pick and pop (rarely roll outside of Sims). Zero v-cuts to set up back door opportunities against a defense that extended well beyond the perimeter and was overly aggressive in their face guarding. One ball fake used all game (by Coleman) to get the overly aggressive defense moving in order to open up driving/passing lanes.

Coaching matters.

No. 5 - Maalik Murphy's second game ...

No one wants to admit it, but there is a similarity in Maalik Murphy and former Texas quarterback Tyrone Swoopes that cannot be ignored - both lack the kind of quality game reps in volume that you'd prefer in a quarterback prospect at the same stage of their junior seasons.

What does that mean?

It means we should all care less about what Murphy looks like now than what he looks like when he has more game reps under his belt. Right now he's a three-star player inside of a five-star body. It's going to take some development before the three-star player emerges into something more than that.

It might be helpful if everyone views Murphy as a hot dog at a baseball game, which is my way of saying that seeing how the hot dog is made might make you not want to eat it, but if you don't pay any attention to how it's made, it might turn out that you'll enjoy it just fine.

Have you ever seen an elite QB at the college level who has looked as bad as Maalik has when they were Juniors? Generally speaking, division 1 QBs dominate in high school and make the game look easy...

a. I have a feeling Brown III is going to end up being a cautionary tale if he's not careful.

b. I have blocked out all details from Rocky V.

Come on man, you can’t block out Tommy Gunn.

 

[Cinco Ranch Horn]

A complete failure is what I called him in the article.

I'm sorry, but I'm not going to argue with you just because you need something to argue about this morning.

All I am saying is that you are kind of making excuses for Shaka stating he is a victim of a half court shot, Covid and a player dealing with leukemia.

 

[I Hear Voices]

I'm gonna go ahead and disagree here. We started each half off with a couple of really good offensive possessions, then started dribbling a lot and standing around. We did it in the first without Coleman in, we did it in the second half when he was back, and we have done it pretty much every game for 6 years.

We did not seek out and exploit mismatches, against a team where we had mismatches galore. We did nothing to take advantage of our superior length and athleticism. We did nothing to make their defense work harder at all. Instead we dribbled around, keeping the ball on the ground where their midget guards could reach it, then played hero ball for the last 8 seconds of most possessions. We had our best mismatch player (Kai Jones) floating around the 3 point line where his length was actually kind of a disadvantage. We did not bench guys (ahem, Ramey) who were absolute liabilities. We absolutely allowed ACU to dictate the style and pace of this game, even though that was the only way they had a chance to win.

All of this happened with Coleman in, just as much as it happened without him. It has happened for six damn years.

And yes, even today you could probably grab a pickup team out of Gregory that (with coaching) would beat ACU.

I feel terrible for Coleman, even more so because he blamed himself after the game. This loss is 100% squarely on Shaka and the coaching staff. The game should never even have been close.

Somebody gets it.

 

[Victor St Claire]

Never watched Ted 2.

I'm not sure I knew there was one and I liked the original.

Give it a shot. Let me know if I need to go again.

S

For Thompson, the next 15 practices need to be about developing the type of consistency every day that he's lacked so far in his first three seasons as a college player. On his best day, Thompson is a star. On his average days, Thompson hasn't been anywhere close to that level according to those previously following his progress inside the program. Thompson has to get to a point where his bad days aren't bad and his average days aren't average.

Maybe from what you are seeing/hearing about practice because every time I have seen him in game action he has been money. We haven't even really seen his mobility yet, which everyone raves about. Besides, Dunlap is a Casey Thompson truther

 

[Hello Nasty]

He was never a good coach. Should have been fired a few years ago. It was so obvious to anyone that knows anything about basketball.


Get rid of him. He's a cancer.
