Ketch's 10 Thoughts From The Weekend (I like Quinn just the way he is...)

[RCPERK2]

Can't go wrong with a top ten list on someone from Fort Worth.

Let Quinn be Quinn may be just the ticket.

 

[Ketchum]

QE seems like the perfect example of a kid whose hype and externally created “persona” run contrary to his real personality and character. All in a good way.

You can make a case that the mullet thing was really a disservice to him.

 

[Ketchum]

nm

Aliens is number one.

 

[Ketchum]

Another good one. I’ve gotten to where o look forward to this piece more than the War Room.

Question- is C Hastings a guest on OB or a full time? I think I saw you mention on Toirube that he’s all aggy. Maybe I’m mistaken.

Full time. We’ve done daily shows for almost a year.

 

[Ketchum]

That 5 star RB list is about as mid as it gets.

Define mid.

 

[McGuapo]

You can make a case that the mullet thing was really a disservice to him.

I mean, when I was his age I once cut my hair into a billy idol buzzcut and bleached it blonde, and I still turned out to be the coolest guy you know.

 

[Ketchum]

Great read! Particularly the take on Quinn Ewers. I have watched him develop since early high school, always hoping he would be a Horn. You captured him exactly as I view him, and always pull for him to succeed at the highest level. But more importantly, he strikes me as a terrific young man, soft-spoken, grounded and just a good kid - he's the kind of young man that anyone would be proud to have as a son.

Side note - I've never seen a bus go 300 miles an hour...

I’m glad I could make it memorable for you!

 

[Ketchum]

Great stuff today

Great stuff today Ketch! I can tell you from personal experience the Italian beef sandwiches from Mr, Beef are fantastic. My companies office is right across the street and it’s hard not to get one every time I’m down there for meetings. It’s also cool to watch them film the show out my office window every now and then. Have a great rest of your Sunday!

Mmmmmmm… me want. 😆

 

[Ketchum]

I think I’ve watched Edge of Tomorrow at least 25 times. Great flick

I’m in for about 15 times.

 

[Ketchum]

Nice column tonight! I can’t find much to disagree with. I guess I might have added Frailty (which he directed) to the Paxton list.

I watched it for the first time today. It probably finished 11th.

 

[PreamoHorn]

He actually is the thing that makes the movie watchable.

You must not have seen One False Move.
Great Flick.
He is the star of that film. His best role.

 

[Hook'em1203]

Just some BS is what it was..

what does this even mean? Someone forgot that he’s on the roster? Have you found any other examples from other teams?

At the end of the day it doesn't really matter. I hope this motivates DJ to put some defenders in the dirt and prove who he is

 

[Ketchum]

Frailty should have beat out his performance in Stripes at the very least. Top 5 Paxton in my book.

It almost made it. Your points are valid.

 

[HookEmHorns11]

I still take Sam Ehlinger over Quinn. But hey that’s not to say Quinn isn’t on his way well.

 

[Ketchum]

Isn’t that a video game?

I’m pretty sure that was filmed on north Lamar.

 

[Ketchum]

Do we know why DJ Campbell wasn’t listed as a voting option? Is there some minimum he didn’t meet?

I don’t know.

 

[Troyboy8ball]

Frailty and A Simple Plan would be my top two for Paxton, followed by True Lies and Aliens, but I respect your list. Frailty might be a top 20 “great movie that hardly anyone has seen”.

 

[Ketchum]

Ketch: "If I'm Sarkisian, I'm going to do whatever I can to close with Kaliq Lockett and Jamie Ffrench (and Dakorien Moore for that matter), but I'm not dropping down to the next tier of talent at the high school level to replace losing one of those names."

I mostly agree, but I would have probably taken Hines only because that speed /size profile is worth a shot to see if he can be developed to elite...if not, he will portal out, so nothing lost. JMHO

Understandable.

 

[Bevo 24]

Bill Paxton was in Commando?

 

[Ketchum]

I’m just here to applaud Weird Science somehow making the TTFTW. I probably watched that movie more than any other during my youth. “Fats, lemme tell you my story man…”

Chet’s laugh still gets me.

 

[ERSHorn]

Full time. We’ve done daily shows for almost a year.

Thanks. I’ve just started watching the shows. Was curious

 

[KoolMoD]

Awesome read. Pulling for QE to be the QB we need to make the SEC debut. Watching the clip about this being his final year in college made me think. "Hey, he does have another year if he chooses to use it". What would that do to AM intentions to be the next man? Curious how these things would unfold. 🤘🏻

 

[Dal_Horn]

No. 10 – The List: Bill Paxton …

Was this inspired by The Rewatchables Twister and True Lies episodes?

 

[McGuapo]

Chet’s laugh still gets me.

You’re stewed buttwad!

 

[Hook'em1203]

I don’t know.

Great story, compelling and rich

-Ron Burgundy

 

[PreamoHorn]

Frailty and A Simple Plan would be my top two for Paxton, followed by True Lies and Aliens, but I respect your list. Frailty might be a top 20 “great movie that hardly anyone has seen”.

I’d put One False Move above them all.
Great movie and he was terrific.

 

[Beef Supreme]

Chet’s laugh still gets me.

How about a nice, greasy pork sandwich served in a dirty ashtray?

 

[caShFLO]

Does Ewers personality as QB at UT remind you of Chris Simms? Ewers clearly has more talent, but the similarities of how they are expected to carry themselves from media and fans feels very similar.

Eh, Simms had the weight of his father there too. Only really involved fans know that Ewers was the #1 rated QB prospect ever...to everyone else they just kind of know he was supposed to be really good.

No. 10 – The List: Bill Paxton …

your list has left me severely gruntled...in an award worthy career of Top 10's you laid a massive...

One False Move, A Simple Plan, Frailty...WTF is the matter with you...

.

 

[HuffTex]

Outstanding stuff. I am in full agreement with you re: Quinn, but especially regarding young WR's. Get the best, then portal the rest (also the best, and PROVEN at the college level).

 

[Ketchum]

Thanks for the insight on Ewers.

You want to pull for that kid. Keep the grounding, the faith, the humility …… all the stuff that makes him who he is.

💯

 

[Ketchum]

Bill Paxton at his best was the star of HBO’s Big Love. He was VERY good.

Personally, QE should really look at finding ways to improve his speed in the pocket and having some type of dual threat. Doesn’t have to be Vicks like, but better than he has shown. Other than that, seems like making sure to slide on every run is critical.

He mentioned that the coaches don't want him to slide. They feel like that leads to injury.

 

[Ketchum]

I think I'd take my chance sitting in the back of the bus at 300mph...that actually looked less violent than everything 75mph+, without all the flipping and stuff.

Maybe it barely leaves a scratch at 500 MPH?

 

[Ketchum]

@Ketchum I’m obviously putting the cart before the horse but curious… has there ever been a QB that has led the same team (school) to championships in two different conferences?

James Brown

 

[Ketchum]

You've been asking for some new/next level b/s for a few weeks now.. I had to come correct

I expect more in the future.
