Ketch's 10 Thoughts From The Weekend (Explaining Flood's Obsession With Monsters)

[Ketchum]

Paddy is a gem.

Certainly entertaining.

 

[Ketchum]

I saw the quote where Flood said he "liked them big and round." Imagine my surprise; I thought we were talking boobs.

He didn't say that. It was just a joke.

 

[Ketchum]

1. City
2. Liverpool
3. Tottenham
4. Chelsea

Tottenham find a way to win the FA Cup or League Cup and City finally wins the CL

Hell is freezing over, huh?

 

[Ketchum]

Putting in the work there, lad. Many thanks.

Thanks for the kind words.

 

[Ketchum]

Is it safe to say that he is an outstanding developer of talent and does more with less?

Historically, yes.

 

[Ketchum]

Earl’s uniform is the correct color orange. 😎

I'm amazed how it continues to evolve over the years.

 

[Ketchum]

Ketch, I had just graduated two years before Earl came to Texas. I had landed a great job in Austin and bought season tickets. I got to see him play every game his first three years before taking a job in Dallas and giving up my tickets.
My favorite play was Earl's one and only play on defense, that I remember. It was his freshman year and we were at home against Arkansas Late in first half, Earl already had a long TD run, and we had Arkansas backed up pretty deep. Punt return team came out and Earl lined up over the center. When the ball was snapped, he blew by the center and the guard, knifed into the backfield and cleanly blocked the punt, which Doug English gathered in and ran a short distance into the end zone. Earl didn't have many carries that game, as DKR used him sparingly, but that one play, to me, defined what a stud player Texas had. The rest is history.

Where's the film!

 

[Ketchum]

I feel honored to have been able to watch Earl over multiple seasons. I worked at the Coop and was in charge of football ticket sales. I have to admit I padded my salary scalping tickets every Sat.

Hustlers gonna hustle.

 

[Ketchum]

Makes me wonder where you think the offense finishes if you think Top 40 is needed in B12

It's more of a defensive league than an offensive league. You can't have a defense that allows top 50 offenses to produce like top 15 offenses.

 

[Ketchum]

Ketch! Man, I usually let your list be list but as my kids and I love the MCU almost as much as Wars, I have to give you the business about your list. 1) Thor Ragnarok is the next to the last movie in the MCU next to Guardians of the Galaxy 2. But, End Game is definitely the best.

10) Spider Man Homecoming
9) Civil War
8) Thor
7) Captain- First Avenger
6) Iron Man
5) Avengers
4) Black Panther
3) Infiniti War
2) Winter Soldier (most quotable as well)
1) End Game

We are all making our top 10 list now. Great family time! Thank you!

Wait. You think Ragnarok is 28th?

 

[Ketchum]

@Ketchum you listing BP at #2 is gonna trigger some folks lol

I trigger people every day.

Could not agree more! It’s not dark orange, it’s “burnt” orange … and while we’re going back play The Eyes of Texas as soon as the game ends!

 

[Aero Legacy 56-76]

I was lucky enough to watch Earl the great during my time on campus. He was a special talent!

 

[DKinnamon]

Maybe 6.5

That would say a lot of development. Looking at the list you only have 4 Super blue chips. Then again if he can development.....sky is the limit...cause there are a lot of big humans in Texas and SEC country.

 

[MayorJones]

Ketch, I’ve mentioned this to CDC several times with no response. Am I the only one who thinks The Eyes of Texas should still be played as soon as the game ends?

That's 12 players over what should be six seasons.

Maybe I'm being too optimistic.

I sat next to an 85 year old guy from North London at a luncheon recently. I asked him if was an Arsenal or Spurs fan. He answered, "f*ck Totenham. I replied, "you have to admit that Kane and Son are great players". His response was, they are good players, but f*ck Totenham.

Certainly not.

@Ketchum all I can think of after this articles title and the focus on "big humans" the last two years is....

I love English soccer fans.

There's a reason why I quoted the song in my IA last night.

 

[Keep Fred]

Infinity War as the number 8 MCU movie???? Can I buy some drugs from you?

I'm doubtful 8 plus are here to start 2025 season.

Side topic: if TJ wanted in do you let him in?

 

[GetHooked]

@Ketchum you listing BP at #2 is gonna trigger some folks lol

SJW gonna SJW. He can't help it. It's harmless.

 

[PG44]

Hell is freezing over, huh?

Yep! Spurs are going to win a trophy!

I mean... I'll just give you some.

 

[-BaseballCoach-]

I know nothing about soccer or soccer cards. Enlighten me on what you paid for that card. Also, if you sold your entire collection what price would you put on it?

Google Best MCU movies.

Look and see where people not on this board list it.

Not just that, but City wins the CL.

 

[classic54]

With all due respect to Ricky, Earl was the greatest. Can you imagine what kind of numbers Earl would have put up if he had played tailback all 4 years?

It wasn't a tiny amount. It's a 1/1.

a lot.

I'm planning to sell one card tomorrow for 6K. Haven't told the potential buyer yet.

I'd love to see him play against 2022 defenses.

 

[Chappy Sinclair]

How awful were Shawn Watson and Les Koenig to get fired by Charlie Strong?

lol

When I saw you were doing a Marvel list, I was fully prepared to go to battle. However….
