Ketch's 10 Thoughts From the Weekend (The good and bad of college football attrition...)

[Horn Player]

I'll have to ask her, but she's typically not one to let me keep it on the Elvis channel, either.

That doesn't support my theory. Over the years I noticed that some of those who grew up with Elvis didn't really care for the Beatles (though not as much the other way all the time). My mom was all Elvis, all the time... she didn't own one Beatles album. I tried to listen later in life but could not get into it. My other theory was more of those in the Led Zeppelin vein weren't too jazzed about the Beatles. I will say that I gained some respect with their shift on the Helter Skelter song... showed some range there.

Man, I don't know. She claims that she's always disliked them. Now I just think she's become a caricature of herself.

10 - one of your best - the families aren't always at the forefront of our remembrance on this day. No one should ever diminish the price paid by those lost in battle, but those who are left behind pay the price each and every day.

Never Forget -

The only people I have nitpicked are the people who have incorrectly made assertions about what was written in the column, some of whom make a sport out of incorrectly nitpicking.

Don't let the ball breakers get you down. Some people just can't enjoy anything.

I don't hate the Beatles, but they are vastly overrated. Way too pop and they put out a ton of crap along with a handful of good songs. I never cared for any of Paul's stuff.

this, why does simply pointing out that they are overrated = I hate the Beatles? - I like them, I just think they are way overrated -

Not a Beatles fan either. Your wife singing the Monkees is pretty funny.

The attrition issue is real. Bizarre how a lot around here celebrate it like it's just another scholarship opening...

it translates to essentially not having a recruiting class at all every other year for the last seven seasons.

More like program killer. Geezus this has got to stop indeed.

That's exactly how they see it. The lure of scholarship numbers is always a drug some can't rationalize themselves away from.

FYI, Texas was going to beat Alabama by double digits if McCoy had stayed healthy.

I'm quite certain of it. The electric charge in the stadium in the first quarter was all on UT's side. That Colt play just took the air out of the balloon. Imagine what Shipley would have done with Colt throwing him the ball, considering he ate Alabama's ass with Gilbert playing.

The quarterback mismatch in that game was off the charts in favor of Texas.

1. Any pebble cereal is outmatched by the same flavor profile with a more robust cereal shape. Pebbles turn into mush two seconds after milk is applied. Give Fruit Loops over Fruity Pebbles and give me Cocoa Puffs over Cocoa Pebbles.
2. Cinnamon Toast Crunch is the best cereal.
3. Texas beats Florida and Alabama (if McCoy stayed healthy).
4. Tiger Woods, who I absolutely loved for years, is an idiot. If such a bad reaction, why are you driving. Story has holes...
5. Chalk up Nolan Carroll to the same status. Just heard on the Ticket today that the Cowboys have a Lyft & Uber account any player can use after drinking. No excuses.
6. I am okay with getting blasted, but the Beatles are overrated. I appreciate what they did symbolically, but just not a fan of their music on a whole. All of that said, great moment for you and Hendrix. I love how Mrs. CS gave you the ultimate OB response of "Pics or GTFO".
7. Attrition is needed for dead weight or folks that will never contribute. I am tired of having the youngest team in college football every year. Youth was beginning to be Strong's best defense (pun intended) and should not overshadow results. Curious, what does 'Bama's attrition look like over the time span? They have a different kind of problem - too much talent and not enough playing time. I would think they would have decent attrition for kids playing behind future 1st rounders.
8. Warriors in 6 - they win games 1, 2, 4, 6.
9. Durant is MVP. He was listed as the 8th most popular athlete in the world by that dying network: LINK
10. God bless all of those families and loved ones who had a family member make the ultimate sacrifice. I wish I had that kind of courage.

Totally with you. Still cannot believe it happened. Keep hoping it was some cruel dream.

The first few minutes of brand newly poured Fruity Pebbles overshadows what happens when they get soggy. Also, Fruit Loops is not Fruity Pebbles in larger form. Less taste, less sugar.

Ha!

 

[davrob1]

I don't know what is worse... the references to soccer or breakfast cereals... Seriously, who gives a sh*t about soccer?

Just now reading.
- Big oops on Mike Trout jinx. Wow.
- So excited for GS-CLE. Hope it lives up to billing - Conf. Champ.series were duds.
- Loved your Beatles stories. Hendrix must be a rocking kid!! My 2 daughters (millennials) actually requested Beatles songs for our Dad-Daughter dance at their weddings. Makes one vaklempt!

- Those players lost through attrition are like an answer to a trivia question.

- I heard John Burt has looked good this offseason. Let's see if he puts it together this year.

- No 1,000 yard rusher? As the president of the Chris Warren Fan Club, consider this your cease and desist notice.

- Fruity Pebbles get soggy in three minutes. Give me Fruit Loops.

- Lavar Ball loves playing the villain, but everybody is taking it out on his kids.

- Congrats on the Beatles infiltration. Just a matter of time before your wife makes sure they are listening to Houston rappers

a. Warren getting 750 would be a major break through for him.

b. It might be three minutes before soggy, but three minutes of great sex is better than 10 minutes of average sex.

c. Oh, I think Lavar has plenty that comes his way. This weekend it was the kids, though.

d. I was listening to Houston rap when my wife was in first grade and not being introduced to secular music.
