a. All of the things Texas has going for it has always been what it has going for it. The quarterback situation is the same.
b. They had a chance to go up three scores and couldn't do it. Had he been able to move around, they score there IMO.

Not having “Songbird” by McVie on your list is shameful. It’s a beautiful song about the band.
Why did JT Daniel's not have to sit a year after transferring for a second time to WVU?
While everyone is worried about the QB situation let’s not act like the head coach is etched in stone either. Sark has alot to prove if he wants to be here in 24’ and beyond.
Up to coaches to make oline better so qb gets more time. Seen too many Texas qb get blamed for struggling then getting hurt playing behind a bad line.
If Ewers is not 100 in, parties and there are players that don’t like him, then he’s toast. That’s a ticking time bomb for a locker room revolt. I hope we see MM some soon.
Sark isn’t ging anywhere for at least 3 more yrs.
Some of the question being ask is so crazy because this young man is a redshirt freshman please give him a chance to grow as football player all of this Sark could get fired is some of crazy stuff that’s on OB everyday this program will never have any stability trust me it will never because has to fired every dam year
Man, a Fleetwood Mac Top 10 list without Songbird just doesn’t feel right.
So many great Fleetwood Mac songs. I won't disagree with your list, but I have to list my Honorable Mentions:
As Long As You Follow
Say You Love Me
Hold Me
Black Magic Woman
Don't Stop
Say You Will
As Long As You Follow
Say You Love Me
Hold Me
Black Magic Woman
Don't Stop
Say You Will
A. You guys obviously got some feedback from sources very close to the situation for your reporting on this a couple weeks ago. Have you gotten any additional feedback from the same sources in the last week, and if so, has there been no change in tone from the previous feedback?
I understand if you don’t want to directly answer this.
I don't love some of your list. Having said that, trying to pick and order songs from a catalog as diverse as Fleetwood Mac is always gonna cause disagreement. My biggest issues are that The Chain is a good song, but not top 10 and Everywhere is an average song that features CmcV, while her best song and the one that would be a better candidate is Songbird, IMO. Here's my list, flame away!
1. Go Your Own Way
2. Rhiannon
3. Landslide
4. Dreams
5. Don’t Stop
6. Silver Spring (I prefer the live version)
7. Gypsy
8. Sara
9. Gold Dust Woman
10. Songbird
Eva Cassidy owns that song as far as I'm concerned.
He needs to work on the mental part of the game. That's on him.
He needs to win something in the next two or he will feel pressure.

I can't I totally disagree with the Top 10 list... but Christine had such a pretty voice. No comment on Stevie Nicks, though she's a really interesting lady.
I really enjoyed all of your thoughts this week. Very well done, @Ketchum !
It feels the same to me. His relationship with Sark has always been the thing Texas has going for it in this situation.
If Ewers breaks out and has an awesome season next year and wants to come back another year I don’t see any way we wouldn’t keep him. That’d be like Ohio State kicking Stroud out this year because they had Ewers waiting in the wings.
You always stick with the sure thing and Manning would probably be transferring.

There's no real change. Sark can't really answer the quarterback question.
I guess I’m just asking are sources around X reinforcing the same things, or have you not gotten recent info from them?
If you don’t want to answer that, I get it.
B/S. New one - these bowl practices will be vital for the young players?
B/S. Texas will finally have the players next year to run PK’s 2-4-5 defense.
One thing today established is that the problems are much deeper than QB-
Think Marianas Trench deep especially on the coaching side
Solid writeup Ketch.
Here’s my take on 2024. Ewers has the ability to make 2024 dicey.
First, given this report of him partying too much, he better cut that crap out real fast.
He better start learning the playbook and developing a reputation for being a student, THE student, of the game. That’s the rep players want to get behind…not the QB who can do the longest keg stand.
Next, he better get back to being confident dropping back and stepping into his throws.
And his accuracy better improve a lot.
There will be immense pressure on him as I can easily see MM spelling him sooner in 23 knowing what’s likely destined for 24 (AM).
All that to say, if Ewers does well enough to have a solid record through October but it great enough to superb game changing performances but then starts really improving come November, he may be in a unique position where it’s too much potential to be highly drafted vs needing another year of higher trajectory…and thus making 24 more sensitive…
I think chances are better that Ewers either (1) kills it (sure hope so) OR (2) he’s enough like this year that MM plays enough to leave 24 wide open (Ie, AM’s)…but there is that other scenario that’s possible.

For sure, in the perfect world Ewers does great then leaves for the NFL and Manning takes off where he left. But makes sense we aren’t going to have both in 2024 however it shakes out.
I mean, if Ewers goes for a 160ish rating and looks great to close the year out... then so what? Or would Ewers need to be 170+ it to be impossible to plan a change? 180+?
