Ketch's 10 Thoughts From the Weekend (The worm sure does turn fast these days...)

I don't have a hard-on for Jimbo. lulz

The fact that Jimbo didn't disappear from coaching but went and took a harder job in the SEC West is an indication the two aren't the same...

Mack was 65, Jimbo is like 10 years younger. If Mack would have been 55 in 2014, then yeah, I think some desperate teams like aggy would have thrown some money his way, just for name recognition alone. Mack is old, fat and has been out of coaching for 4 years now and his name continues to get mentioned for decent jobs.

I know you like Jimbo, and don't like Mack, but aggy just hired the 2010 version of Mack. We'll see if the 2010 version of Mack (in aggyland) is better than the 2017 version of Sumlin. I have my doubts.
 
TH seemed to have confidence that the 2017 roster was a 8-9 win team. Injuries happened on the O-line that change everything I understand. Still, this team did not perform as well as we all thought it should. Will he be more realistic with his 2018 expectations considering what he has to work with?
We'll see. I'm learning about Herman every day, no way to guess how he'll respond to this season yet.
 
Does it count if no one associated with MAC is there to see it?

What does this mean? Were there not many McCallum fans at the Alamodome last weekend? I knew numerous people who went. I assume you were there as well. Are you predicting sparse attendance this coming weekend too? What's the story?[/QUOTE]

Saw a picture on twitter. The McCallum crowd was sparse compared to Alice.

We played smash mouth football in 15 vs OU and literally ran over them {313 rushing yards to their 67. We also sacked Mayfeild's ass 7 times}. By the end, OU players were crying for their Mamas. Hook'em!
then they went on to win the Big 12 and play in the playoff...

Your perspective isn't just skewed by your geographical choice of habitat, it's twisted beyond belief. You can't possibly want ou to win this. That would be far worse than an all-SEC final.

Actually, my thinking is I hope OU beats down UGA, taking down one SEC. Then, loses in final, preferably to Clemson.

But, I still have the rare opinion that OU winning a championship is not bad for any other Big 12 team.

It's an AISD school.

It ain't good for Texas.

Texas lost Tommie Harris and numerous others because of OU's national title in 2000.
 
This game will be much different than the games against USC, OKSt. and Oklahoma. During those three games Hill, Elliot, Jefferson were playing very well. Texas doesn’t have any of those guys in the bowl along with Conor Williams or Chris Warren. This team has to play their best game of the season as Ketch said. I personally see a loss for Texas. Kansas put 300+ yards on the healthy Texas defense. Techs qb came in and stole the game (with help from the Texas offense and staff) regardless, towards the end of this season Texas has been suspect to decent QBs. It might get ugly. Especially since Texas is nearly incapable of producing offense for more than a series or 2.
 
Ask Alice if it counted...

Seriously though...How is McCallum in the Regional Quarterfinals in the Alamodome and 50 people show up?[/QUOTE]
Do you know anything about the AISD?

It's part of what makes their run so incredible.
 
I’ve posted on several OB member posts that I hope OU wins against UGA, and was threatened, your opinion?
Did you really run to Ketch crying when people were mean to you? Don't say dumb crap like you want OU to win and you won't get sh&t from the board.

I agree on baker sadly. Colt was not that impressive pre Missouri. I don't know what to expect in this bowl game. If everyone wasn't jumping ship I'd feel good about it but both teams are garbage honestly. Missouri has beaten absolute shit teams but got killed by Purdue and we lost to Maryland and tech. Just having a winning record will be huge

Depends on how what you are considering... Faker hasn't led his team to a National Championship game, yet, has he? Colt did and would have won if he hadn't gotten hurt.

OB is prone to hyperbole and generally being prisoners of the moment.

Remember when Texas found their QB of the future (Heard - Cal, Buechele - ND, Ehlinger - USC)? .



My kingdom for an OL. We used to be successful partially because we had good OLs. When again?
 
Give me Oklahoma and Alabama in the national title game, with the Tide winning the title. No team left in the field can do to Alabama what Auburn did.

Clemson's defensive line can certainly do to Alabama what Auburn did, and hold the mostly pedestrian Alabama offense to 14 points. Can they score 15 points without Deshaun Watson is the question?

I think Alabama played its bad game that week. I don't think it plays poorly against Clemson. It actually gets to play the underdog/no respect card for once.

i remember going to reagan games in the 90's when my cousin coached there and the crowds were pretty good. As president of the alumni association you should motivate the masses to support the team.

They can try to play that card but Vegas has Bama as 1-2 point favorites early. I need to know how many of their injured linebackers are healthy for the game before making up my mind.

Against power 5 bowl teams this year, Bama put up 24, 27, 24, 31, and 14 points. I'll be very surprised if they get over 21 against Clemson. They will have to win the game with defense, which they very well could do.
 
Oh come now, we give Herman shit for being an offensive Guru and failing this year but give Fisher a pass on a QB injury? Fisher doesn’t even have an OC to pass the blame to. Lol, how many QB’s did Sumlin play? 3? One of those great coaches listed above won a national championship with 3 different starting QB’s.

Who has the best West Coast/Pro-Style offense that lives off of the kids coming out of high school in the state of Texas?

You can out talent people and win 10 games a year in the ACC. He gets credit for getting it done early and for beating Michigan in the Orange.. but I’m not overlooking that he got the brakes beat off of him by Oregon and Houston in the two previous years.

Jimbo was trending down. He bolted.
You really can't compare Jimbo to Herman. One is a made guy and the other has one good season as a head coach.

Are you not proving the point that he utterly failed then? By that logic Herman deserves even more of pass... 8 years in, 3 straight top 5 classes, and a pass for a QB injury? Can you find a “made” guy that failed as badly? The closest you’ll probably get is Bob Stoops in 09’ when Bradford went down...he went (8-5), (3-3) vs the top 25.

Again, 12 losses in 3 years, (0-3) vs Clemson, & (1-2) in his last 3 bowl games with two beat downs, two of them from unmade men.

Fear that man, he was really good about 4 years ago.

Very good read on Jimbo to A&M. Herman MUST sit down and make some very hard decisions regarding the offensive coaching staff or he will be left in the dust by Fisher and Riley in recruiting. Fisher has a proven track record as a coach-a natty. Riley has to still prove he can win with his own players, which I feel he can. So, Herman has to really up his game as a HC. In addition to decisions on offensive coaches, he MUST go find a transfer qb. If he goes 6-6 or even 7-5 next year he will be in big trouble. The BMD's will not be quiet with what is happening in College Station and Norman.

Really hot seat should Riley and Ags have much better w/L record. Say, 8-3, 9-2 vs 7-6.

Not fear... respect.

24-27 wins this game IMO.
