Ketch's 10 Thoughts From The Weekend (Nothing but positivity)

Bridges is an incredibly good movie.

It revives Streep's career (It had been 5 years since her last great part).. It catches Clint at maybe the most vulnerable he's ever allowed himself to be on camera. Eastwood is great as a director. It's a love story that pulls at the heart strings. It's ranked as one of ADI's Top 100 love stories of all-time.


I have never seen it but will watch it now
 
Really great subject on Eastwood movies. I am an old, so I grew up with all of them. Started with Eastwood as Rowdy Yates in the Rawhide TV series. Would change the order of a few and add one, but that's quibbling. Solid effort. I assume "Dirty Harry" stands for the series. I always thought Magnum Force was a great movie. I really look forward to the best Eastwood movie lines.

1. Steve Sarkisian

Can Steve do it? Can he shake that "Seven-Win-Steve" label? Can he get the best out of Ewers? Can he shut up the naysayers who question his game-day chops? Can he do the thing that hasn't been done around these parts since 2009? He has all of our attention.
I‘d probably put Ewers #1 and Sark #2 in terms of personal points of interest for 2023, but the Sark storyline is fascinating. Superficially, there is so much to like about him. From the couch, he comes across as a very likable guy with a positive energy and truly elite offensive mind. And on a personal level, as someone who watched their mother battle and overcome alcoholism, I truly want Sark to succeed. But he has never done the thing. If he is going to get over the hump, this might be his best shot. Can’t wait to see how it plays out.

Great write up, as always Ketch!
 
Great stuff!

I really like JJR's film a lot, is there a former Texas DB that you think is a good comp for him @Ketchum ? I see a little bit of Kenny Vaccaro in his game the way he is always flying around the football and delivering big hits all over the field.
 
Top 5 Cowboys wide receivers

1. Irvin

2. Hayes

3. Pearson

4. Dez
5.. Hill/Owens

Cracking the top 5 is definitely doable.
I'm no technical expert by any means, but having followed the Cowboys with varying levels of intensity since I started third grade in 1961, that overall ranking of receivers seems reasonable to me. But Bob was my favorite--I first became aware of him in May 1963, when Sports Illustrated published an article about him featuring his pictured 25-yard splits in a 9.2-sec. 100-yard race. I remember those splits: 3.0 for the fist 25, followed by 2.2, 1.9, and 2.1. SI said that he was averaging 26.9 mph in that third 25. Note that that race, and maybe all of Bob's (certainly including those at the '64 Olympics in Tokyo), were run on cinder tracks.

Unforgiven is a great movie. Josie Wales is better. Casablanca is the only movie I can think of with more quotable lines.

Dirty Harry is just for the first installment of the series. The one where he takes down the Scorpion serial killer.

Hmmm.... Jerrin Thompson? Little bit of Brandon Jones.

I never understood that, especially when the player himself said 6 weeks ago at a national event that Texas and LSU were tied at the top and the interviewer said afterwards that he got the sense that Texas had the inside track.
That should say months.
 
You're too young Ketch, I was an Eastwood fan when he was Rowdy Yates on Rawhide. The Eiger Sanction is definitely a top 10 for me, I've watched it more the Unforgiven, which is great, too.

I love Bullet, but he can't rank above Mike Irvin, the heart and emotional soul of a dynasty.

I'm 47. lol
 
Texas needs to sign elite transfers at TE and DT after the season for me to feel good about 2024.

Im really rooting for Neyor. That injury was devastating for him.

I don't know where the tight end comes from.
 
Always enjoy these. That being said I prefer “Every Which Way But Loose” over “Any Which Way You Can.”
 
That would be a fun list. Let me think about it.
Another great line is in Coogan’s Bluff which is pretty good: Coogan : [while holding a broken bottle in Wonderful Digby's face] All right now, I don't like violence, Mr. Wonderful whatever your name is. You better drop that blade, or you won't believe what happens next, even while it's happening.
 
Judging from that photo (and what we saw at the spring game), Sark has a major challenge upcoming at the QB position. Good problem to have, no doubt, but it's going to require a high-level strategery and a deft touch.
 
Oh, I need to hear the explanation behind this one.

I seriously didn’t know anyone preferred the sequel.

Beverly Deangelo, better fights/interactions with Black Widows, the Palomino Club as a home base for shit to go down, and Ma blowing away the Black Widows in the front yard. Not close in my opinion. Plus the theme song is better. We are supposed to like Lynne Halsey Taylor after the first one where she is a total b?
