Ketch's 10 Thoughts From the Weekend (The definitive college coordinator candidate rankings...)

[Ketchum]

@Ketchum , Do you believe the talent level at Texas is equivalent or close to Alabama, LSU, Georgia, Ohio State, Clemson or OU?

OKlahoma, yes. Not really on the others. Not when it comes to the highest of the high end talent.

 

[Ketchum]

I had Pseudoscience with Professor Coker. That was an awesome class.

Wild. He was something else.

 

[Ketchum]

he obviously thinks you’re a bitch.

Level four confirmed.

 

[Ketchum]

That's fair but I still need my damn question about when Texas is gonna hire a OC and DC answered.

Remains to be seen. I'd still lean towards after the bowl, although there seems to be a feeling that it doesn't have to go that way.

 

[Ketchum]

you know as well as i do that they don’t know.

We know more than you'd ever guess.

 

[Ketchum]

Forgot to submit my B/S question so will try to slip it in here: One of the reasons for Bru McCoy’s retreat back to USC was conflicts with Mehringer.

It's not impossible, given how many dudes he turned off.

 

[Ketchum]

No love for Son?

He'd make an awesome super sup for Liverpool. One of my favorite players in the EPL. I should have included his goal.

 

[Ketchum]

@Ketchum
I'm not sure you can answer me because of your position, but I got the feeling reading some of your answers to the questions that you are not sure if either Herman or Shaka make it through next year. Do you feel like your national guy and have just lost confidence in then both? Not that you are predicting a certain change, just that you have lost confidence they can successfully turn things around and take the next step?

Hook'em

I mean... neither are trustworthy at this point. How can one give either the benefit of the doubt?

 

[Ketchum]

I haven’t seen any of those movies, or even heard of most, and don’t really have the desire to watch them. To each his own

It sounds like you don't know what you don't know.

 

[Ketchum]

Where would you have put Orlando before this season? 9? 10?

Probably in the 8 tier.

 

[Ketchum]

Rich Rod?

That's a tough one to answer. He hasn't been a coordinator in a decade and his offensive results as a head coach were up and down.

Probably an 8.5... I guess.

 

[Ketchum]

I'm so apathetic about UT football right now that I'm only going to comment on the movie section. I've only even heard of three of those and seen not a single one.

That seems impossible to me. None of these are obscure movies.

 

[Ketchum]

No.10 - And finally...

Possible Unpopular Declaration - I think Watchmen is the most enjoyable show of 2019 for me. The last few episodes have been among the best hours of television I've ever watched. Can't wait to see Sunday's episode. I hope I haven't just jinxed the last two episodes of the season.
@Ketchum last night was great episode. Make sure you watch past the credits.

I did. I can't wait for next week.

 

[Ketchum]

This is definitely titled correctly. “Thoughts” vs “actual facts”

k.

 

[Ketchum]

@Ketchum B/S Rich Rod being a good pick up as OC?

sell

 

[Ketchum]

I took that course in the 90's and it counted as upper-division credit!!! One of my buddies was his TA--he told me that Coker couldn't get approval for half the stuff he wanted to do in that class.

That does not surprise me.

 

[Ketchum]

The NFL is weird and you can be a good coach who has an off year. If Kyle Shanahan ever even gets “put on the hot seat”, CDC should be calling his agent and making space for him at the 40. Doubt it happens, but he’s a guy that could be phenomenal at UT.

He's going to be an NFL lifer. It's where he feels he was destined to be.

 

[Ketchum]

Please.

Hard to watch, but a sensational movie.

 

[Ketchum]

Shocking that our resident SJW would link the twitter profile of his old, senile anti-Trumper professor. I don’t remember him ever linking a non sports Twitter profile before. He’s turning into Keith Olberman right before our very eyes. I know, I know purely coincidence.

 

[Ketchum]

↑
Jimbo at A&M has been a bigger disappointment than Herman at Texas

(Buy) Tom does have a Sugar Bowl win. All Jimbo has is moral victories against highly-ranked teams.

I strongly disagree. My expectation of (and hope for) Jimbo was to underperform, and he has not disappointed. Herman on the other hand definitely disappointed me.

fair enough

 

[Ketchum]

Why the need to post his twitter profile? I’ve never seen him do it before. Find something non political in the old man’s timeline.

Because I would have never guessed he was on Twitter. I didn't even look at his Twitter page content. Still haven't. On my way to doing so now.

 

[Ketchum]

some folks just look to be wronged.

[Ketchum]

whatever you do, don't go looking for reasons to be offended.

 

[drunk randoke]

Indeed. Both sides have snowflakes. We found another one here old sport.

 

[GotchobadHorn24]

Its amazing how both in Pros and College when looking to hire Coaches the decision makers go after the flavor of the day instead of going after consistent proven winners that are always in the playoffs, multiple super bowl wins or constantly in the College Football Playoffs, top 10 year in year out. These Coaches Mentally is all about winning and what it takes to win along with learning from the best structured organizations in the business IE New England, Pittsburgh, Kansas City, Baltimore, Clemson, Alabama, Ohio St.and it suxs to say this Blow U.

Ketch I totally agree with you on your rankings If we can't get their Coordinators We need to go after their assistants not only do we get people with winning mentality but you also cripple their structure.

 

[daflonghorn]

It sounds like you don't know what you don't know.

Probably. I’m picky about what I watch because I hate watching what I don’t like. I do know that much

 

[SAXETU]

That's a tough one to answer. He hasn't been a coordinator in a decade and his offensive results as a head coach were up and down.

Probably an 8.5... I guess.

Rich Rod was the OC at Ole Miss this past season. Doesn’t look like Kiffin will retain him.

What's cracking, fellow Pseudoscience alumni? I took that course in 2000. I remember how it started. Prof Coker came in, laid down on a bed of nails, put a cinder block on his chest, and had a grad student come over and smash the cinder block with a sledge hammer. He got up, looked at us all, and said, "Welcome to Pseudoscience."

I remember more specific details from that course, including assignments and lessons taught than any course I ever took at any level. He taught us how to tell Loch Ness Monster photos were fake, how to do cold and hot psychic readings, explained by fire walkers weren't magical, had us make the aforementioned fake UFO photos, and also develop our own pseudoscience. I remember talking about why Bigfoot was BS, why Uri Geller was a conman, and watching some buddy of his come in and swallow fire.

I loved that class. Prof Coker taught critical thinking in the most entertaining, intriguing way.

I graduated in 1998, so I was slightly ahead of you. The two projects that I remember a lot (other than some of those already mentioned) were having to write our own alien abduction stories and then having to make a list of our own Nostradamus-esque predictions.

Not part of the class assignment was the stripper that I started dating in that class that used to love to feel me up every time the lights went out. Greatest class of my life!

Was he still doing the tennis ball trick in 1998?

 

[RLong68]

... J.K. Dobbins should be a finalist for the Heisman. Against the best teams on the Ohio State schedule, he was an absolute monster.

I said a few weeks ago that when you consider the totality of his season including his team's play, he's probably having one of the greatest unsung seasons of all-time. Over 1800 yds w/20 TDs for an unbeaten 2nd-ranked tOSU and is virtually going unnoticed in terms of Heisman talk?

 

[RLong68]

While beating A&M (No. 294 RPI coming into the game) won't do much to help UT's NCAA Tournament bid, the 8-1 record that the Longhorns own will put them in really good shape at an NCAA Tournament bid once the RPI starts top climb in conference play.

With the wretched OOC slate we've played, probably the worst I can remember, it's been more about avoiding bad losses than piling up big Ws. If the team TCB the rest of the OOC slate then 8-10 in Big 12 play gets it in the tourney.

 

[HarryBallsagna23]

Looks like Jeff Scott is going to be next head coach of USF.

 

[214_Horn]

Indeed. Both sides have snowflakes. We found another one here old sport.

You two calling others snowflakes is rich. Either way, enjoy your impeachment hearings and best of luck.

 

[Center1]

I don’t watch movies seems like waste of time.
