Ketch's 10 Thoughts From the Weekend (The Lost Decade)
- Thread starter Ketchum
- Start date
I love Roy, too, but I would never say he was Casey's equal.
- If you were on the board during your ban, you didn't technically serve the ban. If I'm banned from going into a store, I can't just walk around the store and browse. May need to tack on another week 
- Herman does like this team. Definitely more talent to work with here than at Houston.
- It's crazy that we rarely mention Erick Fowler or Brandon Jones. Curious to see if they explode this year.
- Shaka has to at least get his team to the tournament. He can't have another season like this.
- You are correct about the Cowboys. Team that are complacent after a successful year often take a step back the following season. New England is trying to get better. Heck, Green Bay broke a tradition and addressed a position of need. Cowboys were fortunate to have their key players healthy last year, but can't bank of that every year.

The ban was from posting. When someone gets banned, they get every aspect of the site available to them outside of posting. It's more like if you were banned from shopping, you could go inside the story, try everything on, but you just can't buy. Staying outside the store would just be you imposing more to the ban than you need to.- If you were on the board during your ban, you didn't technically serve the ban.

Jones might emerge as a starter this year. Not sure I think that about Fowler at all.
No doubt. 20 wins and a tournament appearance will be a good season. He'll feel some real heat if it doesn't happen.
what's amazing about him is that big guys usually are never the same after knee injuries, but he came back better than ever and then some.
I would expect Dallas to be around 8-8 next season. The Cowboys have been all over the map the last three years, but I think we'll see a return to what I believe is Jason Garrett's long-term mean.
The defense outperformed its fundamentals in 2016, but I don't think you can count on that for a second season with the heavy losses on that side of the ball. And while I'm optimistic Dallas has its quarterback for the next decade, I also can't just pencil in a 103.2 passer rating like that's a sure thing in Year 2.
Look at South Carolina. They got a decent coach, and suddenly they are in the tournament.

Ketch mentioned the word "OBAMA" in his original post. That is an automatic 1 week ban. Ask Suchomel
Didn't zero UT players get drafted after Mack's final season? Of course Strong needed a new roster. Look, he was a bad fit at Texas, he lost too many games, couldn't run a program of this scope and he got fired. But he left a lot of talent on the roster, regardless of his terrible record. And the beginning of the column discusses how Herman is liking the talent he sees, most of which Charlie brought it. So while are we still going out of our way to kick him in the nuts?
Honestly, I have no idea. I don't know anything about their roster or their situation. I wasn't even aware that Ol' Beady Eyes was coaching there until I saw them celebrating at the end of the game. But if I recall correctly, their basketball program was basically non-existent before he got there and now they are in the Sweet 16 for the first time ever. And weren't his K-State teams always a very tough out?
If I had to buy or sell stock in Gamecock Basketball today, I believe I'd buy.
And what did you do to get banned? I just assumed you were on Spring Break with your family. I was disappointed there was no TTFTW last week.
I'd sell at its high point, which is right now.
What happens in the next five years matters in the context of the convo we're having about Texas basketball.
Which Longhorns were drafted in the 2014 NFL Draft? Or maybe I misunderstood your response.
When you look at the number of teams that make the playoffs one year only to struggle the following season, your observation are more than fair. The Panthers were in the Super Bowl two years ago, but finished with six wins last year. Arizona missed the playoffs last year. Same goes for Denver, Seattle and Washington.
I agree...if the seeds stay the same, then San Antonio at 2 and Houston at 3, they will meet up with each other and I believe in a 7 game series, Houston takes San Antonio in 6. Add to the mystery is whether or not Aldridge will be able to return at 100%, and if he doesn't then this team will not reach the final round in the conference.
It's a shame....he could recruit....but, Lord Jesus, he appeared lost as a HC at Texas.
wrong person, wrong job.
He doesn't even want to be on Twitter. Can't have that at a school like this.
Unless something drastic, like a couple of key players going down with an injury, I see this team winning the Big 12 in two years. I truly believe in Coach Herman and his abilities at maximizing his players potentials, and his game planning is right up there at the top, just look at what he did to ranked teams with Houston. The talent he has now is much better than what he had at U of H, and again, look at we he did there! The Horns will come out swinging this year, and in my magical ball, they will have a Top 5 recruiting class, and in his 2nd season at the University, and they will be competing for a Conference Championship! The HORNS are back!
