Ketch's 10 Thoughts From The Weekend (Time for Sark to do what others have)
- Thread starter Ketchum
- Start date
At what point do we start looking at Sark as the reason behind Ewers’ lack of development and progression??? If Ewers puts in the work and still struggles…eventually eyes will be on Sark…
I think he keeps getting the benefit of the doubt as long as prospects like Arch give it to him.
@Ketchum
Outside of 2004, 2005, 2008 and 2009 seasons....
Texas has gone 170-96 since 1998, a 64% win pct. (51 losses since 2014)
Texas has gone 61-51 since Mack Brown left town, a 54% win pct.
Before Colt got hit in the Rose Bowl NCG, Texas had lost more than 3 games once (1999) since Mack arrived in Austin.
What did Mack do that was so magical? Was Mack a X's and O's wizard? Was he a coach players would run through that brick wall for? Nah, he recruited like a maniac! He also had continuity within his offense (Greg Davis) for years.
If Sark can continue to recruit at a high rate, he will have success. Today is a much different landscape, NIL and Portal, but both those factors SHOULD weigh in favor of Texas and its resources.

Mack would have played for a national title at UNC if not for Florida State.
Do you remember who his quarterback was for those teams?
Everything, Everywhere All at Once…I don’t get it, I tried to watch and just couldn’t…nor could my son…
The reason he couldn't beat Florida State is because they couldn't score.
Lost 20-3 1996
Lost 13-0 1997
Lost 28-12 1995
And I quote from your article on December 26: "For all the unfair talk about his body language and dropped passes this season, the truth of the matter is that Xavier Worthy loves being a Texas Longhorn"
Perhaps you are correct that Worthy does love being a Longhorn. But tell me again why it is "unfair" to talk about his "body language and dropped passes"---and i would add lack of effort to adjust to a less than perfect throw.
And if you don't believe that this a budding problem in the locker room, you need to check other sources. J. Sanders was not in Worthy's face in the 3rd quarter saying "Nice effort!"
My point has been the same---your statement on the 26th was just wrong...and is dangerous. Accountability is the hallmark of a team. Accepting substandard effort and attitude will lead to more problems than we already have. Pointing out the obvious is not being an asshole---it is being honest. And before you lump me in with those you generally refer to as "assholes", read what I wrote and tell me how you reach that conclusion.
It takes a little while for it to completely come together, but when it does... it's out of this world good.
He finished 4th in the nation with Chris Keldorf as his quarterback.
You took one random comment, took it out of its full context and then wantrf it to do all the work for you.
I was the first person in this market to call out Worthy for not doing enough this season and not having good body language.
It's ridiculous to confuse me saying people shouldn't go overboard in the criticism with somehow being a mark for him that isn't willing to be critical.
I'm literally critical of him in this column. You just ignored it.
Revisionist history, at its best. You were the first person who called out Worthy? Then how was it " unfair" to criticize Worthy for his body language , as you wrote on the 26th---and then you reacted badly when others---including me---did not agree. And here you are a week later saying you led the charge in criticizing Worthy? Come on, Ketch. You run a hell of a website, but when you screw up, just admit it and go on.
It was ok to be critical. It's not ok to be so critical that the criticism goes overboard.
This isn't rocket science.
@Ketchum I have an idea for your next column. List your top 10-20 current head coaches and why you rank them there.
Okay, so this comparison makes Jake Majors the tallest midget. This is why we recruit nationally. He’s physically overmatched every week, and he’s not smart enough to snap the ball when the other team is offsides or running off the field. Sorry, but I have to call bullshit here.
XW deleted all IG pictures connected to Texas football, unfollowed all of his teammates, and was at AT&T stadium watching USC today. We ready to say that he will not be on the UT roster come spring ball?
On the movie rankings, I can save you the time to let you know you should go ahead and put Brendan Fraser as the best actor winner for The Whale. It's hard for me to remember or imagine a stronger acting performance.
It's a performance that makes you remember that as a young actor he got chosen as the lead role in a movie over other cast members that included Ben Affleck, Chris O'Donnell, and Matt Damon.

Regarding Worthy he can't be screaming "show me the money" (Jerry Maguire style) and constantly have one foot in and out and not expect fans to be perturbed on top of the shit sandwich effort it seems he's had when most needed.
He was with several UT teammates, including Ewers.
You are implying that Jake is a capable player simply because other OL have not panned out. That doesn’t prove anything IMO. He’s big on heart but small on talent. Sadly, we don’t have anyone better. Both guards had bad games too.
I find it laughable how enamored this board is with number of wins. Texas will have to play 11 against 17 all next year except maybe against OU. With next season presumably their last in CRAP 12 the zebras will invent new ways to screw us next year---more so than they already have.
No, I simply stated that for whatever sins he has as a player, he's been the most productive OL in his class. That's it.
There are no implications of anything other than the facts listed. Feel free to quote the part where I imply what you suggest.
You can't do that, though, because it doesn't really exist.
