Ketch's 10 Thoughts From the Weekend (What the hire of Chris Del Conte really means...)
- Thread starter Ketchum
- Start date
McCallum may not have any big time prospects but #44 needs to be playing for someone at some level. That kid is a football player.
a. No how matter how better we can get, we can always be better. That's a daily goal.
b. Nothing like this has ever really happened before.
c. You sound like a person with totally fair expectations.
Of course not. As a whole, I think they’re a lot of talk with no action. As a whole.
These individuals really stepped up.
I think you got both of those analogies backwards.
I didn’t really mean to paint them all with a broad brush, I intended to say that I’m very proud of the way many have handled this. Backhanded compliment, I suppose.
They can be great people on their own, as seen here.
I understand not wanting to bother someone, but missing a text? That's all on you brother.
The Shape of Water was excellent. If you get a chance, go see it. Michael Shannon is an extremely underrated actor.
A lot of positive vibes in this TFTW! Love the Ehlinger tweet and thanks for posting. His leadership will carry both sides of the ball. Those that don't think the kid is going to be a player are so far off the mark.
Why did this staff not use our fastest WR and if Nelson leaves would they need a JUCO DT? Why did this staff not like any of the higher rated OL committed to A&M?
Last what have you heard about the extra coach they get to hire?

Ketch I can get behind this. If help is needed let me know!!

Ain’t a thing to do and since my whiskey’s gone…
This video is getting so much attention, someone needs to get a scholarship fund going for him that people can donate to. Let the kid attend free college while those f**k-head bullies work at wal-mart. The best revenge is living well.
Thanks Ketch. That kid could’ve been me. I was born with a cleph pallet and got lots of teasing from about 3 until I was around 7. Some of my earliest memories were kids in the apartment complex I lived in bullying me and making fun of me. I was very fortunate and blessed though. Support from my amazing parents, friends, church, teachers and success in sports allowed me to overcome the bullying and teasing. My dad played the biggest role in how he taught me to stand up to bullies, but it was still tough to deal with. I became friends with a few of the “cool” kids(which are still my best friends) and fortunately the bullying stopped before I got to Keaton’s age. The insecurity stayed with me for a long time. I still have some insecurity about it, but I feel I’m pretty blessed. I have an amazing wife and two awesome kids(the oldest being autistic).
I say all that to say how much of a gut punch it was to watch Keaton’s video. I weep for him. What a brave kid. Keaton’s raw honesty is quite encouraging. It seems like he’s got a good head on his shoulders. I love all the support he’s getting and I believe that will help. The real test will come in a couple of months when the celebrities have moved on. I pray that the kids who picked on him will have their hearts softened by this and will experience real remorse. I hope he makes some real friends.
If OB does something for Keaton, you’ll have support from me.
Sometimes it’s better the be right than first, ask Chip Brown about that one.....
I beat the living daylights out of more than a few bullies way back in Jr. High & High School. Sure wish some one had been there at the time for him and/or will give those punks a good ass kicking soon! Those bullies I beat up? They never bullied again.
Let me get this straight:
1- u were too lazy to check your #1 source
2 - u were too busy to check your texts

Wow...delegate to someone who cares and will check the text
Weak sauce and congrats for owning your ****up

I saw the Keaton Jones video early Sunday. I found it very hard to watch. It made me nauseous. My son had a tumor when he was in first grade that left him blind and that was always my biggest fear when he was growing up.
I would definitely want to participate somehow if we can think of a way. I will be watching for a sign.

I like this recap, and I'm not going to die on the "fire Warehime" hill in response. But his lines had serious issues at Houston, and I'm having a hard time believing this is only a talent issue here at UT. Perhaps one or two players did improve marginally, but what still stands out to me is that the line took a step up in Morgantown and then face-planted at home in one of the most important games of the season. That seems to point to coaching.
I know he'll get another season, and I wish him the best. But I'm not optimistic.

Someone needs to teach him how to fight and then he needs to lay one or two of them out. It’ll stop then
