Ketch's 10 Thoughts From the Weekend (What needs to happen with Metroplex recruiting ...)
- Thread starter Ketchum
- Start date
I agree, but you review movies and give your thoughts on who should win Oscars, so you’ve placed yourself in that realm, whether on purpose or accident.
I can definitely scroll down when you give those thoughts in the future.
Any chance of you making the lunch bunch @echeese set up for the 31st?
BUY or SELL: We see Buechele sometime in the first three games for a reason other than injury to Ehlinger?
(Buy) I think we see him against Maryland in the second quarter.
So, either you are implying the Maryland game will be a blowout early, or you don't have much confidence in Ehlinger's ability to win the job outright?

hard to believe the movies in your top 10 that you haven't seen most of them are on TV every night of the week.
As far as recruiting i agree that we have to do a better job in TX but i love our out of state kids we just need to have a better mix next year.
If we have a nine or 10 win season do you think Herman would make a coaching change

BUY or SELL: Urban Meyer is coaching game No. 5 for Ohio State?
(Sell) I refuse to believe that school will roll him out in front of the media to answer questions about a subject they can't afford for them to have him embarrass them on. He's toast.
See this is what I am talking about as far as mixed signals are concerned. I think Anwar in his column says that Urban Meyer is coming back after doing a two or three game suspension at most, and you say he is gone, he is toast. Is he really toast or is he coming back anytime soon?

This one is easy: Anwar and Ketch are two different people and nobody knows.
Talk about rich, crazy, Asians, it seems like Austin has seen a rather noticeable influx of rich, (Maybe not so crazy) Asian, mainland Chinese people in the last few years. I wonder if they will ever become Longhorn fans and make big fat endowment donations to the school? Seeing as how a fair amount of their kids attend UT, that probably won't be too far off of the mark.
It seems as if Beck has been placed in Arizona and Cali rather than DFW.
Can you elaborate?
Where would you rank it in the Michael Mann canon?
Additionally, HEAT is a movie that benefits from repeat viewings.

Ehlinger has to stay healthy, as in no more concussions, or we’ll be right back where we were last year at QB - Boo or a true FR.
Our OL can’t possibly be worse, so there’s that.
Fortunately, we have Orlando’s D and it’s likely improved, too.

I said in another thread that I think Herman replaces three members on the offensive side of the ball at the end of the season...Warehime, Mehringer and Beck. None of these guys should have ever been hired. Drayton has been a disappointment thus far as well, but has a lot of street cred.
Agree on Mehringer and Warehime.
I think Beck could survive on his recruiting ability unless the offense is atrocious again, and then all bets are off with everyone except Hand.
Drayton needs to show production because he probably isn't landing Noah Cain or Trey Sanders.
The X factor with offensive moves could depend on what Herman decides on getting Giles recruiting help.
Maybe Giles can start landing some big fish if the team wins 9 or 10.
That movie is on TV every damn day, how could he have not seen it?
Think of all of the great quotes and references he’s missed out on?!?
Whoa there. Ripken was an Al ROY and 2 time MVP. He once had a 11.5 WAR season (1991). He changed the way baseball looks at Short Stops.
1. Grown men watching random 13 year olds play baseball is odd
2. Memento is awesome

Texas in the next two years lands one of the following RB Cain/Sanders/Evens?
Texas has a first round pick in next years draft?
How does Texas have higher recruits than just about every big 12 team and still have one of the worst units?
100% agree.
I’m sure he has done that before but it was still impressive to me. I hope it had an impact on the players. Gives you a glimpse of Mack as the coach we didn’t see enough of.
Agree on Jones. He is about to blow it up. Thorpe award consideration IMO.
This is the most I’ve ever agreed with your top 10. I refuse to trust the Oline. The depth and talent still aren’t there. If this is a plus unit then Herb Hand is a god.
At the same time if they are a little better and with more experience at QB it could mean 9 wins. Also the schedule this year looks a lot friendlier with lots of good opposing QBs gone

For Ketch (of all people) to have never seen it?!
Inconceivable !!
Dat dude FAST - and fvcking trucked the dude at the end to boot - allsome!!
I dunno wtf is wrong with Ketch. That’s a Mount Rushmore film.
Then why do you have all that Occar crap every year? Seems like you love talking about movies and movie performances.
The Searchers #1 Western?
High Noon would have to be in that conversation, and maybe Shane.
No. 8 - 20-Words or Less Movie Review: Crazy Rich Asians (A-) ...
Much better than the trailer. Terrific cast. Lots of heart. Love me some Gemma Chan. Make a sequel.
No. 9 - The List: Top 10 Moves That I Inexplicably Haven't Seen ...
I finally watched Heat this weekend.
Don't ask me how a movie buff like myself had never seen it, it's just one of those things that hadn't happened. There's not any real particular reason why.
Therefore, when the kids were with the grandparents over the weekend and I found myself with a little time to actually watch a movie in peace, I knocked it out. With that piece of cinema out of the way, I give you this week's list.
10. Old Yeller
9. Memento
8. The Searchers
7. Dances With Wolves
6. 2001: A Space Odyssey
5. Psycho
4. Alien
3. Vertigo
2. The Princess Bride
1. Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory
No. 10 – And Finally ...
Sign. This. Dude. Up.
Gemma Chan is excellent. If you have Amazon Prime and like sci-fi stuff you should check out her show Humans.
Shame on you for not having seen Heat before this.
That officer sure as hell had some wheels on him.
When Mack arrived with Maddog in 98 Maddog was actually a really good S&C coach. Up on the current science and training, tough on the team, and got results
However, he didn’t keep up with the trends in the field. And he started being lazy in keeping track of the system.
Wiley to me has never been a great football strength coach. His understanding and style is more old school Arnold’s Almanac type stuff.
Moore was/is so far behind on the sports science part of the business it’s not even funny. He at no time should have been seen as excellent. Now doesn’t mean he didn’t try. He worked his guys hard. He just wasn’t learning.
The Yancey thing is so different than any of those guys. This guy is a thinker and learner. He constantly is looking at what works. And understand his job isn’t to make them big or super strong or pretty. It’s to make them badass football players. Yancey has like a mix of the Stanford guy who is all sports science and the LSU school of Olympic lifts and power movements.
And most importantly Yancey understands that he is tied together with the sports dietician and sports science folks.
It’s different.
