Ketch's 10 Thoughts From The Weekend (It might be now or never for a few)

[Ketchum]

@Ketchum listed “Go Caitlin Clark. That is all.“

I see what you did there and agree wholeheartedly.

America will be cheering for her tomorrow.

 

[Ketchum]

RE Reese, I assume you meant there will never be another like him

correct

 

[Ketchum]

For her last game, Shaylee couldn't buy a bucket. Seeing her cry on the sidelines broke my heart. She balled for us.

Yeah, it was just one of those games. Brutal to see it end for her like that.

 

[Ketchum]

That's not a good way to go through life. When you get toward the end it will seem like a blink of an eye. I know, I'm seeing it in person.

I feel the same way.

 

[Ketchum]

I’m so done with the Caitlin Clark overhype and commercials that I may actually want Mulkey to win.

Overhype?

 

[Ketchum]

Honestly, it woukd behoove Conner to take that redshirt season and perhaps earn the starting C job for ‘25

Certainly not the worst idea, but how many guys actually do that?

Thanks 🙏 Happy Easter!

I wonder if Savion, at his new weight, can be the big power back we have lacked for heavy duty in the red zone.

I was definitely pulling for Shaka and Rick. Sorry they did not make it.

CJ Baxter needs to be replaced if he can't be that guy.

 

[Ketchum]

I think Wisner is closer to #3 or #4 than #6

I dunno.

 

[Ketchum]

So only American films + Parasite? I would go with Korean Oldboy as the top film of the 2000s. You seen it Ketch?

Saw it this week. Really liked it. Not enough to place it that high.

It is too bad the Cougars lost the way they did. Because this is all they have

@Ketchum I could not agree more on the players listed to have their "now or never moment ". I'll add...do you think we lose over/under 3 of said players? The Bama LB can't portal without sitting out if I understand the transfer rule..... Nice article, per usual. 👍

 

[ERSHorn]

Your top 3 movies I find hard to argue with. Love them all

 

[FluffyPancakes]

No Country for Old Men is a haunting movie but one I always find myself watching.

Texas needs to lose 4+ from somewhere.

I think you could put a lot of movies in a top 3. It was hard to leave out a lot of movies.

Nothing against Shay Holle, but I watched the WBB team play a lot this year…more than I ever have. But Shay has never been a real difference maker in scoring points. Like Ketch said…Vic needs some serious shooters. And for a full time starter like Shay Holle to not score any points in an Elite 8 game is unacceptable. We lost by 10 points. She should have scored at least 8 points and combine that with 3 or 4 more 3-pointers made…we win the game and make the Final Four.

Uh, did you watch the game ? You are completely, utterly, wrong. Shae Holley balled out. Have not seen her final line, but at one point was 5/6 from the field and, as she typically does, was stepping up when others were struggling. It was Shaylee Gonzales who failed to score and fouled out. Sorry for her. She made a positive difference here, just not today.

I don't think OP is much of a judge of basketball players.

A pretty good list, but you have the wrong Nolan movies. Memento and The Prestige are both better.

And surely you have to bump something (I’d say Gladiator) for Ocean’s Eleven!

 

[Charlie Work]

This movie is pure shit. Completely unwatchable. Number 1???????

lol, rarely can a single post more perfectly validate my assumptions I have about a poster quite as well as this...

Let's see your top 10.

I'll play...

10. Nightcrawler
9. Collateral
8. Before the Devil Knows You're Dead
7. Out of the Furnace
6. There Will Be Blood
5. Arrival
4. Wind River
3. No Country for Old Men
2. Django Unchained
1. Gone Baby Gone

Damn, that is a lot of violence...I might have a problem

.

Yes, but I still like it!

This needs to be in the top 10

Team with most final fours to never win a championship

shirley you jest?

Great movie. Could have easily have made the list. Not my favorite Scorsese movie of the century.

the ending makes it worth some of the tedious parts



Marky Mark is the survivor who knew?

bahahaaa

It's a great book too. Written by Cormac McCarthy

unfortunately Cormac McCarthy passed away recently

rats! ya beat me to it!

i'll counter with this

"the coin don't have no say!"

 

[Ipse]

Disagree.

Dark Knight is a near perfect movie until Rachel dies. The last third of the film is not good.

 

[aarontxex]

I would say that it's a fact that Jerritt Elliott is the best coach on campus now.

No ands, its, or buts about it.

3 titles--very hard to argue with that.

 

[The Sark Knight]

Nolan is so good that I’ve got another one as my favorite of his (and one of my favorites all time) and you don’t even mention it.

 

[Weller 12]

Spotlight
Whiplash

I thought they might be in consideration.

I was talking about Shaylee Gonzales going out with zero points. I would have loved to see her have a game like she did vs Zaga.

 

[HappyMikeWatkins]

Great list of movies, although I personally put Avengers: Endgame as my number 1. But I'm sure I'm a minority.

 

[HornAbility]

Vic’s teams don’t shoot many three pointers nor rely on three pointers to win games.

They lost because they didn’t do the things well that they do to win, not because they didn’t do the things they never do to win games.

Even if they made 3 more 3-pointers and ended up 4 of 6 from three they still would have lost. However, if Moore, Mohammed, and Faye would have shot better than 50% from point blank range instead of 5 for 20, they would have had a shot, even with their substandard defensive performance.

Sometimes the balls that usually fall just don’t go in the basket for whatever reason, and sometimes the other team just can’t miss. That was a bad combination for the Ladies today.

 

[Ipse]

Nolan is so good that I’ve got another one as my favorite of his (and one of my favorites all time) and you don’t even mention it.

My favorite Nolan movie is probably Dunkirk, but as you say, there are so many. But among the 2000s films, I think Memento is the best.

Get Out?

Woof……
