Ketch's 10 Thoughts From the Weekend (Evaluating Herman's first (almost) 500 days...)

As for best pic winner. I personally thought Shape of Water was a stupid and somewhat demeaning to women. Why does a woman have sex with a sea lizard anyways?
Because men are awful at every turn?

Note: I apologize to all men who are offended at the acknowledgment of so many terrible ones.
 
Hell yeah. Wife got me a record player for my wedding gift. Have a nice collection building. I didn't believe people who used to say it sounds different in a good way, but it does.
You little hipster.
 
Christopher Walken walked out and got a standing O. Hell yeah.

I was hoping he was going to say, "Need more cowbells!"

So,it's Texas and Baylor in the Big 12 women's Tournament final?

*gulp*

I'll watch, but I don't know for how long. After the win at Baylor, I thought Texas was finally going to depose the monster -- guess not.

At the same time, there are areas that need improvement

Like making sure the right personnel go with the right play call? Your earlier points were spot on.

Hook 'em!!!

Not sure what you are asking. Your point is about the movie or about Hollywood? If the movie, this thing was made 2 years ago or more. I don't think that was
their intentional message.
 
No host is better than Ricky Gervais. He will call anyone and everyone out to the point where it is truly uncomfortable but true.

Texas played fora national title in 2009 with great quarterback play, a dominant defensive line and a shitty offensive line.

You don't imagine either that I'm unaware of that fact, OR that it is a historical anomaly that I take pains to address in my post, at least by implication, YES?

Come on @Ketchum, it's not about winning a debate, it's about a reasonable and optimum approach to building a successful football program. SMDH.

You advocate building a football program with a shitty O Line. Good luck with that. Even 5 year olds are going to roll their eyes at that.

I'm saying the fact she fell for a fish has as much to say about the loneliness some women might feel when they can't find someone to fill the voids you need filled.

I'm not saying the offensive line is unimportant. Far from it.
 
You hush your mouth!

BTW, they did not treat Clyde well in the making of that movie.:(
I loved the movie in my youth, but neither Clint nor Sondra should have been let anywhere near a recording studio, period.

And it was the 2010 game, AND if Texas HAS the O Line I posit as essential, Marcell Dareus doesn't destroy Colt, pinching the nerve in Colt's throwing shoulder, and Texas goes on not only to win the game but win it handily, judging by what was happening up to that point.

You are undervaluing the essential nature of the O Line. It's been done consistently by professionals for a decade, so you're in "good" company.

I'm not. Seriously. I would only offer that you are underrating defensive linemen. We both stress the value of offensive linemen at the topof the totem pole.
 
Let's hear the argument.

I would offer that When Doves Cry and Billie Jean cancel each other out. So does "The Beautiful Ones and PYT.

Give me Darling Nikki over Human Nature.

Purple Rain the song smashes Thriller.

Let's Go Crazy stands taller than Beat It.

I haven't even mentioned I Would Die For You or Computer Blue. One banger after another.
I would offer that Prince wasn't a child molestor and even if he wasn't an AMAZING musician should win on that fact alone.
 
I'm not sure I follow your implication. If you've got something to say, say it. Quit pussyfooting around.

No, this is pussyfooting around. Name names:

Kobe wasn't the only one with a checkered past accepting a trophy last night. Inconsistencies are as mainstream as it gets.

You know exactly what I’m talking about with your Baylor outrage. In light of Kobe’s history of “alleged” rape and sexual assault, why aren’t you applying the same level of outrage to him and his getting the highest award the Academy offers?

a. The list of names would take all day. Gary Oldman is an alleged woman-beater. The list of men lacking respect for women in all kinds of manners is fairly rampant and it's not limited to one side of a political fence.

b. I have a very consistent record of thought as it relates to the lack of respect for women.

c. Every situation is different. I'm not a champion of Kobe, but I don't believe I would use the same colors to paint his situation as something similar to what happened in Waco. I find it curious you would in an effort to make an attempted "gotcha" point.
 
Which is just an average season for Kane. ;-) I think Salah finishes second and Kane third. I just think MNC is having an even more special season - hell one for the ages. I get your take, just don't think the vote will go that way.


Here's a reason it MIGHT go to Mo, and that is because of mo(mentum). See what I did there?

DeBrunye has scored one goal since 12/16. Since then he's added six assists(three coming in one game against Leicester).

Mo has scored 11 goals and five five assists in that same period. He's scored in 8 of the last 9 and simply been on fire. Clearly some good cases to be made, and the best player on the best team is always a solid one, but sometimes voters are also swayed by recent results.

Still some time to go and that could change either direction.

I thought I made it clear QB and OL are coequal Job 1 for me, and DL are Job 2. I don't understand how that is underrating defensive linemen. As I tried to say in my earlier posts, the five OL I cited precede the two DL you cited for me, but the DL come immediately following.

You listed 1 OL and 2 DL. I never saw an OL that was adequate with 1 good OL. Texas had Sendlein, Studdard, and Blaylock in 2005-2006 with Tony Hills and Jonathan Scott playing as well.

In any case, thanks for the serious football discussion. As CTH says, "everything matters". :)

I would rank them:

1. QB

2. OL/DL
