Ketch's 10 Thoughts From The Weekend (The Ultimate Colin Simmons Breakdown)
- Thread starter Ketchum
- Start date
I go back to the aftermath of the 09 title game when Mack decided to change every aspect of his program and go backwards to try to be like Bama and that to me is about the time I feel Texas lost it’s identity and it wouldn’t get that back until it hired CDC, until Hartzell became president, until Eltife got everyone on board, and Texas swallowed its pride to go after Urban. Texas is now aligned, has a vision, and most importantly has consistency inside the football program for the first time in forever.
Man… @Ketchum you could do an entire best ending to Disney and Pixar movies. Coco has me in tears every time.
Has there been some new info that increased your prediction from the other day slightly from 66/34 Texas to 70/30 Texas?
You said: "College athletics has been heading to a world of three or four super conferences for more than a decade."
I have always said something similar, but I always assumed before that the PAC-10 would be one of the four, certainly over ACC or Big12. That is the surprise.

the true outcome will be whether OB sends anyone to cover the announcement. If so I like our chances, if not....then you already know.
Completely agree.
I have a love/hate opinion of Mack & live in town w/ other guys that feel the exact same way.
Mack’s decision after the Bama title game to push the program to a power running one, but had the best QB recruit from a spread perspective is unreal.
Shane, would be top 10, at least. Then again, I saw it as a kid and you may have seen on some late night.
History shows Gilbert simply was average at best as a QB. For Texas he was even worse
Great write up!
I’ll add The Natural’s ending for consideration

Yep, or early worlds get out like the recent Gipson recruitment which I didn't even wait for.
Hopefully this is a lose one, win one senerio. 🤘
You are probably right, but...J Brooks has shown me enough that I would give him every chance to be back #1...and I was a doubter at one time. Brooks is sneaky good imho. Using multiple backs makes sense to me for many reasons, especially this year. Even when we had the best back in college football, spelling Bijan with Roshon was good for the team and good for Bijan.
You couldn’t pay me to watch Oppenheimer again. I walked out after a couple of hours out of shear boredom. I understand that almost no one agrees with me. I thought the focus on the hearings and his love life were totally uninteresting.
Great war room!
These could also be on the honorable mention list imho, if best ending includes 'memorable endings':
Planet of the Apes (Heston)
Von Ryan's Express (Sinatra)
Field of Dreams
Batman Rises
The Sting
The Alamo (both)
El Cid
Braveheart
Wizard of Oz

Not enough car chases and aliens and wizards for you?
I was right there with you. Didn’t do it but considered it. Waste to see it on imax. I think my expectations were very different than the movie. Might watch it again on TV when it comes out. No way I would see it again on the big screen.
I understand the scarcity of great edge pass rushers. But high level QB play is prime in today’s game and something we have lacked on a consistent level for a long time.
Freaking Inside Out gets me every time.

We all know it goes much deeper than that for these types of posters - unfortunately.
Of course, we will be there.
