Ketch's 10 Thoughts From The Weekend (The worst part of all...)

Karen Carpenter sang the best version of "Song For You". Her inner sadness, loneliness, and insecurity came through on it. It just sounded different when she sang it.
I'm going to need to listen to this asap. I'll get back to you.

Note: Very solid. I wouldn't rank it before a few others.

I prefer Willie's version and definitely Hathaway's version.

Other teams with way less money can bite the bullet and fire a coach. Save recruiting and get the job done CDC. Why does Texas settle to be an after thought. How many players must we lose for something to be done. BMD need to step up.
They still might, but I get the sense they need to know who their guarantee on the box is before doing so.
 
It’s seems whenever it’s come to major issues that involve showing cajones - The Eyes, pursuing Urban, replacing Herman - there is a common theme with how CDC responds:

Great choice of gifs. I feel you.

Normally a TTFTW thread is 10 pages by now.

No one cares anymore. We have been beaten down by the mediocrity.
a. That's not true about the first part. I hope that makes you feel better, even if slightly.

b. I feel you.
 
When will anyone believe this has NOTHING to do with the buyout dollars??? Stop talking about it. If we had gotten the guy we wanted, the check will already have been delivered.
That's a big IF. That the big IF didn't happen appears to have changed the dynamics, with CDC going out of his way to pain that picture behind the scenes.
 
Another fine Sunday night missive, Ketch.

Also I agree with you about Card. Hope it happens that way.

He has a chance to be special.
I think Yurcich and Herman have very high hopes.
 
Is she the singer from the 90's who was a budding star and got really aggressive cancer and died way too early? I think I have her album of hers.

Hook'em
Yes, but she wasn't much of a budding star. She was a true under the radar great that was mostly discovered after her death.

She did a live album when he body was ravaged by cancer and she only had a little bit of time to live. It's a magical performance.
 
I think CDC really screwed this all up. But he could fix it if he hired Shanahan after the 49ers miss the playoffs this year:)
I just don't think Kyle is ever leaving the NFL.

Maybe the last few weeks have been abnormal. But they are longer than 3 pages by that time in the lifecycle.

@TheAngryHammer One thing to keep in mind about the relies, I smooth passed out around 9:15 am and didn't reply to much until this morning.

That likely had a lot to do with the lack of replies.

I think this kind of drama queen over reaction is why we're in the recruiting position we're in. If the alums and BMDs would have publicly said, "Hey, he's our coach who brought in 2 new coordinators and got little to no spring or summer practices to install their systems on top of a total disruption of these kids lives and we'll tolerate some inconsistency." we'd be in a much better place. Let's all stop stirring the f'ing pot and give these coaches a chance to do their jobs. More of this crap just guarantees we'll be in the same place or worse next year. But stirring the pot sells subscriptions.
The problem that I have with this, is that TH shouldn't have been in this position in the first place. Come in and bring your TOP coordinators from the start and he wouldn't have this problem. Excuses.

Something about all of this isn’t adding up.

This can’t be the final resolution for this coaching situation.

I don’t believe it.

It just can’t be. It makes no fvcking sense whatsoever.
I agree whole-heartedly.

But it's 2020 :oops:
 
@Ketchum - Evidently Texas still has the smallest of chances to make the Conference Championship if one of the teams has a Covid outbreak - Is the team even practicing for that outcome (however unlikely)? Also if the game is played with the current teams, who do you like (I think the line is OU -6)?
 
so - to clarify - we:
1. must assume a posture of mediocrity for the near future;
2. hope that TH doesn't pull one out of his arse next year and CDC does another BS extension;
3. learn how to act, feel, and behave like a tier 2 program.

OK got it. :rolleyes:

I believe they all went home.
 
If the football people inside the program believe that Herman is the best option to lead us to a championship next season they are the ones with the real knowledge of the state of the team. I tend to believe them over reporters on fan sites.
If they have evaluated everything and came up with Herman is our best choice I will trust there judgement. With the talent we have in the 2018,2019 and 2020 classes we can afford one mediocre class rated at #15 in 2021 with a few players like Sanders and Brooks.

Giving mediocre & immature leadership more time will only deepen the ditch and delay Texas’ comeback...

... I actually applaud how poorly the Texans played on Sunday. That's how you tank for a better draft pick.
TEXANS DRAFT PICK BELONGS TO THE DOLPHINS. NO TANKING, JUST GOT THEIR ASSES KICKED
