Ketch's 10 Thoughts From the Weekend (Walking into the great recruiting unknown...)

Regarding the early signing period, how likely do you think it is that a school will continue to recruit a player that has already signed with another school b/c they just lost track of who signed and who didn’t?

I have to think it's unlikely, but not impossible.
 
I believe that the only reason ellinger wasn’t named starter is to keep Buechele from transferring after the end of the season

Yes, because Herman has to have, like many of us, some real concerns about Ehlinger's shortcomings {bonehead decisions at critical times; accuracy} and whether he can improve enough between now & next year to take us to 9 or 10 wins.
 
Cook might declare Texas, but my post isn't incorrect.
It is all about click bait with you guys. You will deny it but I know better. If I were in your position I would do it, too but I would not deny it. That is lying and I do not lie.
 
Texas seems to think Texas. LSU seems to think LSU. Houston Lamar seems to think LSU.

The LSU mods now seem to think Texas. Interesting recruitment here. Curious - why would the school be leaking anything? Are you talking about the coaches?
 
Dantoni isn't going to beat a healthy Pop-coached team in the playoffs.
 
Is the weak 2018 HS OL class in Texas a valid reason for the failure to have an adequate number of commits at this stage?

Shouldn't we have recognized this early on and adjusted our strategy accordingly? I realize we have gone after OOS guys, but perhaps a wider net was called for.

OL should have been the number one priority in this class, and I don't think Herman had shown enough sense of urgency at the position until recently.

No. 10 – And Finally …

It's that time of the year ... Academy Awards season!!!!!

For the next couple months, I'll be updating my picks in all of the major categories.

Here's a look at the current standings:

(Still need to see: Call Me By Your Name, Darkest Hour, Detroit, The Florida Project, Mudbound, Phantom Thread, The Post, The Shape of Water, Star Wars: The Last Jedi)


Best Actor

1. James Franco (The Disaster Artist)
2. Daniel Kaluuya (Get Out)
3. Jeremy Renner (Wind River)
4. Kumail Nanjiani (The Big Sick)
5. Hugh Jackman (Logan)

I haven't seen Wind River yet, but everyone is playing for 2nd place behind Franco this year, imho. Hugh deserves a lot of recognition for his work as Logan, he was absolutely terrific. Kumail and Kaluuya were both fantastic, but Franco should be an easy choice. He was brilliant as Tommy Wiseau.

Sounds like under certain circumstances, you're fine with lying. That actually makes you a liar pending the occasion. Please stop projecting.

Outright stunning.

I'm mean the realm. My pick has been Texas for the last couple of months. I'm not changing it now, I'm just passing along things I've heard.

I'm with you.
 
The Shape of Water was incredible. Not as magical (or disturbing) as Pan's Labyrinth, but still excellent.

Last Jedi was really good. Not academy award good, but a solid flick.

Went to see The Shape of Water Saturday night and although I enjoyed it, it was weird AF.
 
all the 5* qb/wr/rb/te/lb/db in the world aren’t going to equate to what we want until we get the lines! hopefully the lines improve...if not expect another shitty year
 
help me with remembering some of these calls.
Mike Renfro, Immaculate Reception, any number from the two SBs against the Cowboys, but the defensive PI call when the receiver pushed down the DB was bad, and roughly a handful from the '05 SB against the Seahawks.

NFL network top 10 most controversial calls, I believe four of them involved the Steelers, and all four went in their favor.

Well it all starts with the worst call in Super Bowl history, pass interference against Benny Barnes in Super Bowl XIII. I know they got bailed out against the Cardinals numerous times in their Super Bowl as well. But it all begins and ends with Benny Barnes for me.
What about the super bowl against seattle.

If you haven't seen a lot of magical realism movies it's out there for sure. Not your typical Hollywood movie. Very much a "foreign" film, made in Hollywood.

actually, a special quarterback can cover a multitude of sins (see 2008/09).

The Renfro call is a good one.
 
It bears repeating...

No. 7 – The thing about the men's team ...

Less than a month after the 2017-18 Texas Longhorns men's basketball team looked like it was going to be a ball of laughs all season from an entertainment standpoint, one of the most disappointing aspects of a season that has lost some of its liftoff is the reality that this team seems to be less fun by the day.

I'm not talking about wins and losses as much as what this team looks like to the naked eye as a viewer.

I so dearly just want to enjoy men's college basketball and rue the decision to spend two hours watching Longhorns basketball.

They need to get rid of Shaka and completely wash it's hands of the Patterson disaster.
 
BUY or SELL: Shaka needs to make the tournament and finish top 5 in the conference to keep his job?

(Sell) I don't see a scenario where Shaka loses his job this season, regardless of the finish.

Do you still stand by this statement?
