Ketch's 10 Thoughts From The Weekend (There Will Be Blood)

lol. Try to put your feet in the shoes of a 90 year old black man. Athlete or not, Russell lived through things you can’t REMOTELY appreciate. But don’t let that stop your ignorance.
A&M's median season for the last half decade would be a success for Texas this season, no?
Was he the only one? Cause i know plenty of older black people that didn't act like him. Why am I ignorant for knowing that he wasn't very nice to common people/fans? Abdul Jabbar same way, what's his excuse same thing?
They go hand in hand. You can't be historically bad on defense and not think there will be some consequences when trying to recruit that side of the ball against more proven options.
i don’t pretend to know what being called the “N-word” even by FANS in his playing days and being treated as a second class citizen by this country for a large part of his life might do to a person’s psyche. But I’m sorry if you and a few white strangers were denied a precious photo op with Russell. Must’ve been devastating.
Even a blind squirrel, am I right?
Hey man, if your lists are any indication, you’ve likely seen a ton more movies (especially recent ones) than I have. I got spoiled by what I consider my “golden era” of movies — the 1960s to the early 1980s — and my moviegoing or watching has been much more selective since then.
It’s been many years. It’s honestly an emotional connection with that scene because I use it to describe my son and me as he is five inches taller, more muscular and has blue eyes and Sandy blonde hair. If I didn’t have a DNA test, I’d question things.
Are you unwilling or unable to give direct answers? Not at all trying to be a jerk.
But you hint at aggy paying up front or being in the gray area of payments, and Texas is not. Then your answers when asked for clarity are candidly pretty vague and up for interpretation.
So, is that because you are professionally unwilling to make the definitive statement? Which I would understand. Or is it because you're not 100% sure and wouldn't be able to make definitive statements? Which I also would understand.
It's a damn god movie, I know that. I just haven't seen it in forever. Maybe since the 90s.
I don't have a single first-hand piece of proof of any cheating.
I have zero actual receipts and neither does anyone else or we would see them.
You have to be careful in what you say because of that.
Cool, appreciate it.
I dont think aggy is crushing recruiting ust because of money, I think thats sour grapes. I don't default to that for any school that gets a commitment, it's a dumb joke.
But there is some super convenient timing with NIL and certain programs uptick in recruiting that is noticeable.
Dumb take. Do you think KC Jones was ever called the N word? Cause that dude couldn't have been any cooler. These weren't one off occassions, I got to attend several events these guys were at, all the old Celtics were cool, except for old Bill. Move along, what I stated was fact, many people act a certain way due to circumstances that happened in their life, he's no exception.
And I do read between the lines of "first hand", but it would be fun to have some truth serum for people and separate the stories you hear from truth.
This comment alone is why I don't like taking reaches. UT has not shown itself to be patient and take 2-3 years to develop a kid. Why process, trapdoor, or wash a kid out of the program (whatever wording we choose to use) and create bad blood when we can rent a more polished athlete for 1-3 years that developed on another campus. Portal also helps bring in age/experience where taking 25-32 freshmen a year will always leave your roster underclassman heavy and subject to more attrition.
You know where I stand on the Portal. lol. I'd save 10 spots.
I think if we’re being we would ask, “does it really matter when someone gets paid?” At the end of the day everyone is getting theirs.
I'll disagree with that. We haven't killed it on defense though.

Uhhh, pretty sure I said/suggested Russell’s behavior WAS due to life circumstances. Thanks for agreeing. Have a good day
We've killed it in the portal?I'll disagree with that. We haven't killed it on defense though.
