Ketch's 10 Thoughts From The Weekend: Is it time to go Portal Fishing?

[Ketchum]

Still waiting on that Bellamy Brothers list

 

[Ketchum]

still no love for KC and the sunshine band ?

Not really if I'm being honest.

 

[o5prey]

Not yet. I'd keep an eye on that situation. His quarterback play sucks.

Counting this season I wouldn’t count him as a big pickup

 

[Ketchum]

I think you overrate Buckley and underrate Rage.

You have the same taste in music that you do in soccer teams,

 

[Ketchum]

Ketch puttin in some work!

Good job.

I don't take days off. I just grind.

 

[Ketchum]

Solid list of tunes. Brought back a shit ton of memories. Totally forgot about Getto Boys - Mind Playing Tricks On Me.

Time to go to Spotify!

 

[McGuapo]

This. Wide open spaces? Gross. And @Ketchum doubled down by putting it in the overall top ten. I think he just likes getting kicked in the nuts. And yes I’m going to be the guy that picks one thing to complain about. 😉

 

[Ketchum]

Any lists that have Smells Like Teen Spirit and Friends In Low Places are crap.

It's an all-time great song that women LOVE. Few songs connected with a group of people quite like that one did when t came out.

Chicks were breaking up with dudes left and right. 😂

 

[McGuapo]

a. Buckley's Grace is one of the best 5 albums of the 90s IMO.

b. Where would you place him if not in alternative?

Anybody dogging Buckley will get creamed by my right fist. Dude went way too soon.

 

[Ketchum]

Are you using the word "breaks" intentionally in some weird way to be clever? Or do you not realize it's "brakes?"

Just trying to annoy you. How's it werking?

 

[Ketchum]

The Chicks on the top 10 overall list? I can give them the inclusion on the Country list, but all time? LOL no.

It was a monster song.

Still is.

It's one of the greatest country songs of all-time, whether a bunch of you get in your feels about it or not.

For instance, CMT named it the No.22 overall country song of all-time.

 

[Ketchum]

Any injury updates?

Any word on how some of the young guys looked in practice this week?

a. Hutson expected to play. We'll know more about Watts later in the week.

b. I'll see that we get answers to this tomorrow.

But you have actually listened to the song right?

 

[Ketchum]

Caleb Williams #2 in the Heisman voting? Based on body of work, Bo Nix is playing a far superior brand of football compared to Williams this season. Williams has all the talent, but having watched every minute of every SC game this year, there's no doubt that he's underutilizing it. He'll cost them at least another game or two singlehandedly with sloppy play and bad habits, just like he did last night.

Williams has a 187 rating on the season, while Nix is at 178.

Do you think Bo Nix is better than Williams?

 

[Ketchum]

But you have actually listened to the song right?

Of course.

It's No.1 on my Natalie Maines playlist.

@Ketchum Go Spurs Go. Bandwagon time

Plenty of room! should be a fun watch this season!

b. Where would you place him if not in the alternative?

Buckley’s good music is very good, like Nick Drake good, but genres are subjective and he suffers from square-peg/round hole.

I've never considered him to be quintessentially alternative. Maybe he's more alt-folk, which dilutes his influence in both genres.

 

[Ketchum]

Brave to rank the Dixie Chicks so high on your country list, but I could not agree more.

They were fantastic into the aughts and the music still holds up well. I think it’s well past time to give them a break and come back to stardom.

Maines' album Mother from 2013 is one of my favorite albums of the decade.

 

[oldspur]

Yes

 

[Ketchum]

I didn't listen to much Country, but where is Vince Gill, Nobody Answers When I Call Your Name, Confederate Railroad, Trashy Women (classic), Steve Earle, Copperhead Road? Those are the only 3 "CASSETTES" I actually bought back then.

 

[burntoblood]

I haven't heard that he's shaky. Stay tuned.

Have you heard some names of ones that are shaky?

 

[Ketchum]

Evan Stewart to Texas on a 1-year rental??

It'll be interesting to see how his season concludes.

 

[Ketchum]

Gin and Juice can’t even get an honorable mention?

Of course, it can be there, like about 200 other songs.

 

[Ketchum]

Counting this season I wouldn’t count him as a big pickup

I spoke with someone this week that thinks it's all about his quarterback play,

 

[Ketchum]

Plenty of room! should be a fun watch this season!

Save me a seat.

 

[Ketchum]

I've never considered him to be quintessentially alternative.

Alr rock is literally the first genre he's associated with.

 

[Ketchum]

Have you heard some names of ones that are shaky?

Nothing I consider very solid.

Nice.

Do you think Bo Nix is better than Williams?

"Is better" from a talent and potential standpoint? No, not a chance. "Is better" in terms of consistently playing outstanding, low-error rate football this season? No question. Like I said, Williams will cost his team at least one more game this year due to poor decision-making and bad habits. He gets away with slop against poor competition, but it's going to bite him as he plays defenses with a pulse.

Williams has had one bad night.

Did you think Ricky didn't deserve the Heisman in 1998 because of the KSU game?

 

[Carhorn]

B/S You would take OU’s current staff over Riley’s.

(Sell) I'd take Bill Bedenbaugh, for certain, but that's about it.

Not sure how you arrived at this and I don’t disagree but I would be interested at how you arrived at this.

I looked at both staffs and made my assessment.

Apples and oranges, really.
A team can scheme to take away a RB, if they wish, but usually at a cost elsewhere. But a QB essentially controls the entire offense. So, there is a much bigger risk/reward relationship. Control the opposing QB and you control the game.
Plus, by season’s end, Rickey was not only the top rusher for 1998, but of all time.
Not too bad.
But, obviously it was a different game a quarter of a century ago.
