OB free Ketch column. I can scarcely believe it

 

The 2009 -2010 Texas basketball team is all but dead to me. Good points on Barnes though. Unsurprisingly, I found the football stuff much more interesting. I wish Ketch had mentioned more about spring practice, but good stuff on recruiting. I sure hope he's right about Diggs, height shouldn't matter as much at safety. Ahmad Brooks was a good one and Earl Thomas at 5'10'' and half was a great one. Makes me feel a lot better about Malcolm Brown. A bit of a surprise on Brandon Williams. Bad news, sort of on Westerman and Wallace.  Linkie :  http://texas.rivals.com/content.asp?CID=1057733

Good piece but...

The Mack Brown: Zac Efron analogy was gross and poorly executed. Seriously:

It’s like he’s a 58-year old version of Efron and every high school football player in Texas has morphed into a female that’s waiting for him to call with a prom date invite. Until Mack decides who he’s sharing the first dance with, every other dude is just going to have to wait it out.

Yeah, that was a little creepy

I was thinking that if I wrote that over hear I’d get BOMBED. I’ll stick to PB, GBR and DC and the gang here. We are spoiled.

All I have to say about this analogy,

besides the fact that I almost puked when I read it, is about this essay — Politics and the English Language by George Orwell. If you haven’t read it, do so, it will enlighten your life. Then think about Zac Efron analogies as rhetorical tools. Then think about paying $100 a year for Zac Efron analogies.

Mack is so Zac

All I could really think is that this guy claims to have inside scoop and this is he how he chooses to deliver it? For real?

He’d never get a gig at Burntorangenation.com. You guys really do rock.

I hope this guy has tweenage daughters

Otherwise I would like to examine his High School Musical…ehhh…dvd collection.

Lotta good stuff in there

Basketball big pic, and the (expected) recruiting expertise were the highlights to me.

Course, it took like 2-plus beers to work through it. But they were good beers.

Rivals & Pay sites

I actually tried the free sign up period but it just didn’t have enough information for me on an ongoing basis. I would not mind spending a little money to support the writers and format and be a member. But, what really got me, was that for your monthly fee you ONLY get access to the one site instead of all the sites. I don’t think $10 a month is good for just orangebloods.com, but if it included all the sites connected to Rivals then I would have no problem and would probably join and pay the fee. They should open it up and they would probably get more members.

Wow I didn't know that's how membership worked.

Even porn sites at least throw in like 10 extra sites if you subscribe. Just like porn though, there’s plenty of good stuff out there for free.

That's a great article

but I disagree with his conclusion regarding Barnes. I need the national championship (or at the very least, some final fours) in the back pocket in order to give him a mulligan.

by kellen on Mar 1, 2010 8:52 PM CST reply actions  

No clue

That’s why I’ve said all along that even though I think Barnes has taken the program as far as he is gonna take it, I don’t think you can make a change cause of the risk involved. The sports graveyard is littered with programs who have gotten rid of “really good” in search of “really great.”

My first choice would be

Jay Wright of Villanova. Classy guy and a great coach. His personality would fit well here.

For all the yammering Ketchum did on the radio about how Texas couldn’t get someone like Calipari, he never got around to admitting that Texas would never in a million years align itself with a cheater like Calipari. Whether or not he would take the job is irrelevant.

by bassale47 on Mar 2, 2010 6:59 PM CST up reply actions  

It think

Roy Williams would be a perfect fit.

Quick Get The Copyright

we missed on Threepeat as Pat Riley beat us to it but Tweenagers should be good for some dough.

I know a guy who can us Ts resonable.

Agree Ketch is no bestseller.

Mind bottling...

ya know, its like when you got all ur thoughts trapped inside…like a bottle.

Um…yeah. The phrase you’re looking for is mind-boggling.

I hope they serve beer in hell.

Oh...
