Ketch's 10 Thoughts From The Weekend (Very good isn't good enough)

[tlcdownunder2]

Rondale Moore is a bust, IMO. You heard it here first.

Did you start the Luka thread?

 

[curveball1]

He's not wrong you know?

 

[Ketchum]

Augue’s last NC came after a 3rd place Conference finish. So yeah, it’s all about the postseason.

yup. the rest is just getting ready for it.

 

[Ketchum]

Completely not in the Woodlands but you need to check out Tacos A Go Go - I'll vouch for the al pastor and the pork guisada, get the smokey sauce. They have locations in the heights and downtown. Be prepared to need a few napkins as both tacos are served in an almost stew state.

Thanks!

 

[LonghornGary]

I'd have to agree on City of New Orleans.

I think on the road again is just okay. Maybe it was in too many commercials growing up or something.

agree, On the road again is a bit repetitive and was overplayed to boot. Doesn't make it a bad song but wouldn't crack my Top 10 for Willie

1. and 4. suffered from overplay. Then reverse the order of 2., 3., 5., 6., and 7. and you’ve just about nailed the list. Never understood all the love for SSA, and how in the world does it trump Pancho & Lefty, which will never get old?

and I feel the exact opposite...probably why Willie appeals to so many and for such a long time

 

[curveball1]

Thanks!

How did the BBQ adventure go by the way?

 

[Ketchum]

How did the BBQ adventure go by the way?

I did Pinkertons and Corkscrew on back to back days.

I thought the pork ribs at Pinkertons stole the show. The brisket and sausage were great, but the ribs were special. If I had gone back the next day, I might have just gone all-in on the ribs.

On the other hand, didn't really love the ribs at Corkscrew, but I thought the jalapena sausage was one of the best I've ever had. I wanted more. Brisket was a 9.5 out of 10.

Forget overthrowing Oklahoma. How many elite players does Texas need to beat TCU, Oklahoma State, and Iowa State consistently?

Herman almost did it in 2018. It can be done with these players on the current roster IMO. Elite coaching matters.

This seemingly gets said every year.

Nope, but that kid hasn't done much since his freshman year and he ain't gonna hold up to the beating he's gonna get in the NFL. I love who he could be, but I don't see him lasting, JMO. I knew he would get drafted, but. the 1st and 2nd round grades he got were too high IMO.

HuffTex said:


In the next 2 NFL drafts, a total of 12 Texas players get drafted....doesn't matter how many each year, and it could include eligible juniors leaving in 2023....

(Sell) That number feels a little too high for me.

No way that many get drafted who originally signed with Texas. But it wouldn't surprise me if Sark brought in several one-year transfers for 2022 season that will be drafted in some round. So it could happen.

 

[EC Ricebird]

Sell) I think there are a lot of questions that could be asked of the report that was released and why the school refused to hire an independent, outsourced committee to handle the research and the overall task. I'm not sure I would point the finger at a professor that had perhaps the most impossible task of anyone associated with the project if we're keeping it 100.

Absurd. The whole TEOT nonsense was always a woke-invented, fake news affair by people who wanted to be their own hero. Read The True Believer.

 

[jjgutz]

Hats off to the young dude with his spunky, confident, determined mating dance.

 

[EdSimmonsPants]

He's going to eat in that offense.

He won't stay healthy. I like him, but he went too high, IMO and I don't think he stays on the field. He hasn't done much since that first year for that very reason.

 

[EdSimmonsPants]

If he stays healthy

This is going to be his downfall, I think.

 

[EdSimmonsPants]

You misspelled Kellen Mond

That too!

 

[orangepill]

If he stays healthy, he is exactly what the Cards offense was missing last year. He is a true downfield and open field game changer.

But can his Qb see over the line of scrimmage and see him?

That looks good.

Well, we haven't exactly gotten elite coaching in any of those years. Texas didn't lose to OU and ISU in close games that came down to the last possessions because those teams had a definitive edge in talent. Hopefully, this crew can make a difference.

 

[HookemColorado]

If we don't have 12 draft picks over the next two drafts it probably means Sarkisian isn't doing his job.

I view both the teams and games from last year different than most, I suppose.

 

[BattleshipTexas]

I was glad Sam was drafted, but also glad Shane Buechele was signed by KC.

That's some cold sh*t, right there... comin' up in here with all that truth... you should be ashamed of yourself...

 

[wbw_55]

Ironically, I'm getting there with my passion for the team.

2011 against the Giants- the Dez catch that wasn't. That was the play that broke me. We're Al Davis'd until we're not.

 

[txfight]

Here's a late B/S submission:
Texas wins the Big 12 Championship in 2018 with the roster we had, if Sark's coaching staff coached that team all year long.

 

[qwanseeker]

So do we believe the kid’s story to his mom that it was a staring contest and he was trying to distract her? She is pretty engaged other than when the adult yells something to interrupt in the beginning.

 

[streettopeschel]

@Ketchum , you give CDC credit as nothing more than a fundraiser? TBD on how their replacements work out, but he gets credit on Tom and Shaka moving on. And favorable reviews on their successors.

 

[Hawk8827]

Saban completely dominated recruiting, pretty much from the jump, at both LSU and Bama. We all know what needs to happen for UT on the recruiting front. And the quality of portal transfers is going to need to go way up as well. I'm not expecting UT to make the Big 12 championship game in 2021 so the next class is critical.

Texas will win The 12 championship

 

[HornHammer]

Rondale will be electric in Arizona

 

[Big Bertha]

No Blue Skies? Come on man. Seven Spanish Angels bores the hell out of me.

 

[Big Stoop]

Hey, now that was a well written piece, sir ... interesting, entertaining, educational even, and kept my attention all the way through. Was kinda disappointed when it ended. Good job Geoff and thank you. 🙃

 

[TLG1]

There's a lesson to be learned here about not being so married to your original plans when the time calls for you to be flexible.

That's a life truism no matter what your profession is.

 

[Ketchum]

I was glad Sam was drafted, but also glad Shane Buechele was signed by KC.

rooting for both of them. pre-season games should be fun this year.
