Ketch's 10 Thoughts From the Weekend (The Houston vs. Dallas discussion reappears...)

[BevosRevenge]

Clemson claimed a crowd of 60,000 for its spring game. Why do I have so little faith that Texas won’t pull half that number on Saturday?

If Texas wants more people, quit having it on Easter weekend.

 

[BrushCountryHorn]

I get the heavy Houston lean this year - amazingly good prospects, and they are interconnected. But what about UT's presence in east Texas? Seems there is a disproportionate number of studs over there and connections matter.

 

[Ketchum]

Say more, I'm not of the opinion that we're in that much better shape at QB, I just thought the previous regime talked more. I'd love to hear you expand on your thinking about this.

The reason why there's no hyperbole is that the quarterbacks haven't yet given a reason for it. Buechele has been solid.

 

[Ketchum]

Good stuff @Ketchum

Any word on how Anthony Cook's visit went this weekend?

still trying to get an update from him.

 

[Ketchum]

1. Ketch, I gotta tell you I'm impressed at how quickly you've gotten up to speed on your soccer acumen!
2. Angela Akins is smoking hot! May need to start a fan club!

a. I'm obsessed.
b. She nice.

I haven't sensed there's an issue there.

No. 6 – Buy or sell …


BUY or SELL: Texas goes into August practices with 10 or more commitments for the class of 18. (b)Five of which are LSR top 25.?

(Buy) I’m a little 50-50 on whether it will hit both criteria points, but for now I’ll buy that … barely.

That seems awfully aggressive for August unless you include OOS players that would be included in the LSR top 25 if they were in state. If you add Watkins and Thompson, then we should make it easily.

 

[TD TX TD VY]

Eric Gordon is a chucker and sucks. 40% from the field and less than 3 dimes or boards a game gets you 6 man of the year? Barf.

 

[HI_McDunnough]

Jason Witten is a pro. I miss Tony already.

 

[Capn Oblivious]

1st

I think we need a separate board for the Dallas vs Houston posts. It gets damned old for those of us who don't give a crap.

Like I said, I'm iffy on it.

who is your choice?

In this instance, everyone should care.

 

[TD TX TD VY]

Z Bo

 

[TrailsPoppy]

So where does Hobbs rank in the 2017 Dallas-Ft. Worth Metroplex?

 

[StudRunner1]

Nothing like the encouragement shown for Byron Hobbs. I really hope he makes All American.

 

[CenTex Horn]

Miss, you misspelled misspelled.

FIFY.

 

[Capn Oblivious]

True, but I'm talking about the incessant D > H, or H > D.

Particularly since Austin leaves both of them in the dust...

 

[Capn Oblivious]

Particularly since Austin leaves both of them in the dust...

By far. I still love Austin dearly even though I am in California.

I have lived in all three cities so it's not some idle opinion.

 

[jtesq]

Harden should be MVP or at the very least co-MVP

 

[Ferda]

Westbrook with an MVP moment. That will likely seal the deal. I don't even like the guy and that was fun to watch.

 

[Matty079]

It's Houston...it's always been Houston

Rocket fan, and I'm fine with Westbrook as the MVP...maybe it will light a fire in Harden for the playoffs?

 

[macman72]

Why is Zaire looking at three schools that have potential roadblocks? Surely he can pick a school that has no qb?

Zaire sucks

 

[Ketchum]

So where does Hobbs rank in the 2017 Dallas-Ft. Worth Metroplex?

Currently, outside the top 10, but that won't be for long IMO.

 

[Ketchum]

Nah.

 

[Ketchum]

Westbrook with an MVP moment. That will likely seal the deal. I don't even like the guy and that was fun to watch.

He's had about a half-dozen in the last three weeks.

That first-round playoff series is gonna be a delight.

 

[Ketchum]

Zaire sucks

He put up a good battle in the fight for last year's fight with Kizer. Both of them have showed star qualities.

 

[ball911]

True, but I'm talking about the incessant D > H, or H > D.

Kountze>Muleshoe

 

[Ketchum]

Kountze>Muleshoe

Dems fightin' words.

 

[cm1308]

Fermino, tho

 

[Ketchum]

Fermino, tho

weekend maker for yours truly.I was in such a testy mood at the 70-minute mark.

 

[marinehorn]

Jason Witten is a pro. I miss Tony already.

My favorite player. Great blue-collar man.

 

[HerkieWalls]

Zaire sucks

Agreed but after reading the aggy reports, it sounds like he could walk in and start there. He could walk into a lot of schools and start- I dont get him picking an SEC school that prohibits transfers and Texas who has two young studs on the roster as his choices.
