It took a few. The last 5 were as good as anything I've seen in a long time. It was damn near perfect television and it brings together all of the previous early episodes.
Ketch's 10 Thoughts From the Weekend (The reality of where Texas stands heading into 2020...)
- Thread starter Ketchum
- Start date
That included wearing a coat that he didn't actually wear earlier in the day or at any point in previous PCs.
we're doing a better job of self-policing, but it still takes work.
The writing and acting just got better and better with every episode, which is rare these days.
I missed the PC, but that meeting included CDC and CDC’s boss. If you get my point. That’s how I knew.
we sure are agreeing a lot these days? what the hell is going on?
Just curious. Why do you still believe in Herman?
I say that because Herman has basically admitted he wasted a large part of his first three years with his initial hires.
Ketch my friend he has done well every were he has gone and the Texas coaching job is one he dreamed of having. That given I just felt that he would go all out and win at Texas. My friends y'all have a blessed week. Win are Lose My Horns Will Always Shine And Be Raised High And Proud
I am still very positive on Herman. We have recruited very well and I see him as someone who will adapt as we have seen with the recent changes. I was very high on the potential coming into 2019 and very disappointed with the regression but I saw the talent on the field vs LSU and we were right there. Our QB, receivers and o-line were solid and we played with a depleted RB line up. I think Ash will bring in the perspective we need to get the D (especially DBs developed).
I see the turning point for the season being the OU game where I saw us coming in a bit “cocky” (kinda like OU did in the 2018 reg season game). After that punch in the mouth and some key injuries we lost some swagger. I am looking for that to be back on the field for the Utah game.

Description
Fulfilling a promise to his deceased father, one-time outlaw Jesse Custer returns home to West Texas to take over his dad's church. Jesse's mission, however, becomes twisted when his body is overcome by a cryptic force that unleashes within him a highly unconventional power. Together with hell-raising ex-girlfriend Tulip and Irish vagabond Cassidy, the preacher-in-training embarks on a journey to find God in a world inhabited by holy, hellish, and everything-in-between characters. The darkly comedic "Preacher" is based on Garth Ennis and Steve Dillon's popular 1990s comic book franchise of the same name. Executive producers include Sam Catlin ("Breaking Bad"), and Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg ("Superbad," "Neighbors").
First episode date: May 22, 2016
Network: AMC
No. of episodes: 43 (list of episodes)
Program creators: Seth Rogen, Sam Catlin, Evan Goldberg
Ok, I'll watch anything that Rogan and Goldberg have partnered up on. Thanks for the suggestion.
I hope you enjoy it. One more great show came to mind as well; have you seen Homeland? IMO as good as it gets if you are into CIA counter terrorism suspense type of shows. The best series Showtime has done since Dexter. Also "The Boys" on amazon prime 1st season was pretty damn good.
Maybe Rhule, if only because he’s rebuilt programs, while Riley inherited, and Rhule seems to be an NFL guy.
Coaching promotions used to be more linear, a guys path was usually A to B to C to D, with each move upward semi predictable. Now, everyone at all levels seems to be looking for the hot new guy with a shiny offense. A to B to G.
I think that’s causing some of the ‘meh’ reactions to Yurcich. As you said in the podcast, he looks like the best hire for Tom. But, he isn’t shiny.
I think Riley has a specific special skill. I'm not sure what Ruhle's special skill is.
Despite our high numbers of wins in the prior decade, our 8 non-championship seasons and 70% losses against Top 10 opponents means we probably would have had at most only 2 teams that would've made the playoffs if they had them back then.

And he’s very, very good at that skill. But to date, he hasn’t been able to solve his problems on the other side of the ball.
It may be that Rhule’s skill turns out to be building a program that’s good on offense and defense where each side compliments the other.
I do quite a bit of officiating on Friday nights and you absolutely wouldn't have blown that play dead.
Great post. Personally I'm getting closer and closer to wanting to eliminate replay unless they can revamp it and make it 300% quicker. We've interrupted the flow, elongated the games, and we still have the human element. I'm starting to wonder if the human element shouldn't just be part of the game. Was football less enjoyable before replay?
I loved the first two seasons of Homeland. Then they pivoted which I understood had to be done. But I felt like by season 4 they were jumping sharks.
Fair question. I would say I believe in Herman as much as any other coach I think we could get.
If we could get Saban or Riley or Dabo, then I'd believe more in them. But we aren't getting them. What other VIABLE coaching options are more proven than Herman? I don't think any. And he gave us a very good season last year with the Georgia and OU wins and a few good recruiting classes. IMO he has not been perfect, but other than Bama, Clemson and OU, what fanbase is completely happy with their coach? ND? Georgia? Michigan? I suppose Minnesota, LSU and Baylor are thrilled with their coaches right now, but the sample size is no bigger than Herman's was.
I like greener grass as much as the next guy, but where is this greener grass growing?
Replay is fine.
Too many officials aren't of high quality. I don't want their mistakes deciding games.
