Ketch's 10 Thoughts From The Weekend (A&M/OU Junior Breakdowns)

[Ketchum]

Wow. Could not disagree more. Miserable, boring film. I get that it's an allegory for the stupidity and pointlessness of civil war, but that just means it's stupid and pointless on purpose.

You sound fun!

I think a winning a conference championship (and most certainly playing in one) should be the minimum expectation for 2023

Minimum? So what is the mid-level expectation? Going to playoffs?

I think we have a good shot at going to the conference championship—at least as much as anyone. But expecting to win it? At the minimum?

 

[Ketchum]

Was A Man Called Otto not eligible?

Yes it was predictable. But it was also charming, funny, and elicited emotion from the viewer.

This was my favorite crew:

BYU or UCF win the Big 12 this year....bound to happen

That would be.... well... lot of words.

I’d be surprised if the edges aren’t Finkley and Sorrell to start the spring.

I’d be interested to hear how people inside the program view Burke vs Tapp. I feel like I remember Tapp showing a lot of promise from behind the scenes.

Regarding LB, I feel like Hill has to be the answer there but didn’t Blackwell get a lot of run there replacing D’Mo? I realize he needs to put on weight but so did D’Mo. I wouldn’t count him out or the idea of actually running that 3-3-5 defense with Ford, Blackwell, and Hill considering his ability to rush the passer.

Finkley, huh? That would kind of surprise me. I'm not sure that's his best position.

Tapp reportedly had a good set of bowl workouts, but that's just talk IMO.

Blackwelll is probably better suited to play the vacated spot left by DTD.

It's a great movie.

You serious Clark? The ending is complete crap. The dialogue is crap. The in-cockpit footage is very good, but it’s a dumbed down movie, just like most of what is made today.

LOL setting up for the Longhorns win Big 12 because everyone is down again.

I’ve seen this horror movie before.

Precisely.

 

[Ketchum]

Precisely.

Tell yourself whatever you need to tell yourself to sleep. I get it.

People seem to like to criticize. I'm just joining the club.

... Jalen Hurts is playing in the Super Bowl as a starting quarterback. I'm waiting for some of those old threads to get bumped in the next two weeks.

 

[Ketchum]

You know I was thinking of you.

 

[Anwar Richardson]

Was Stetson Bennett trying to show the NFL that he can be Baker Mayfield this weekend in Dallas? A real NFL player gets arrested at strip clubs in Dallas ...

 

[TexLex]

You have to be a freaking madman.

You have to have no life

 

[Ketchum]

That hurts every time I see it.

 

[Ketchum]

You have to have no life

easy now...

Ketch, you thinking Finkley should move to DT like Lamar Houston did? Or what position?

The only two edges right now with legit experience are Finkley and Sorrel. Maybe Burke and Tapp end up allowing him to flip back over to the other side but I can’t imagine either begin in the starting lineup. Just my opinion.

... Teams asking for permission to talk to Eric Bieniemy for offensive coordinator jobs is something else.

I think it's a concern for folks that he isn't calling plays there. People are spooked they're going to get another Matt Nagy. Wanting to see him call plays at another place isn't that absurd to me if he wants to progress to be a head coach because it isn't happening as it sits right now. He goes and does well elsewhere I believe he could be an HC within a year or two.

I think he's probably the guy behind Sorrell.

Sorrell is a strong-side end. Kind of feel the same about Finkley. He doesn't have the burst to be the edge.

Like what? His past? Race?

 

[Ketchum]

Like what? His past? Race?

Definitely his past.

There's a lot there to unpack and I think it scares the shit out of teams.

It wasn't a movie that I thought was award worthy.

It wasn't a movie that I thought was award worthy.

Fair enough.

But I'm still not sure what was award worthy about Banshees. Certainly not the storyline. Maybe, maybe Collin Farrel playing a daft, whiny little b*tch. But Brendon Gleeson just being moody isn't acting. And Kerry Condon was OK but in my mind Michelle Williams was 10x better in Fabelmans. Hell, Mariana Trevino was a better female supporting actor that Condon.

 

[txfight]

By the way, I spent about 10 minutes trying to figure out how to type an "ene" in my last post and had to give up, so maybe I'm not smart enough to be be judging these things

I thought the acting was sensational. It's a dark comedy. My wife didn;'t like it because it was depressing, but I thought it was great.
