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

[MauiHorn]

My favorite Alan Arkin movie is The In Laws with Peter Falk. They both are funny together.

His role in S1 of The Kominsky Method on Metflix is really great work by him at his older age.

 

[YodelingHorn]

(Sell) Yeah, I don't really agree with this. Do they seem similar at quarterback?

That's fair. I should have been more clear by saying that I view them as similar in terms of both being much more lopsided (wrt mature talent, depth and strategy) in favor of the offense. All-up, I think Texas hold the advantage (overall) to USC - both in offense and defense.

 

[YodelingHorn]

c. Quinn Ewers' body is so transformed that it's hard to know where to begin. I thought he played with a little bit of a Matt Stafford body a year and now he looks like a UFC middleweight.

His body transformation will likely pay-off in spades next season. Previously, his body just couldn't take the D1 level punishment, and it showed as the season wore on. Proud of QB1. Hook'em!

 

[WhatAboutEggs]

I'm not going to lie, part of me can't help but think of the Dan Kendra story when Maalik looks like he's bigger than Justice Finkley.

Can you clarify? I’m not aware of the Dan Kendra story.

@Ketchum Heartbreak Ridge is one of my all- time when sick at home go to movies - “the only thing you can build Webster is a good case of hemorrhoids!”

 

[SnakeEarl]

Top 5 Cowboys wide receivers

1. Irvin

2. Hayes

3. Pearson

4. Dez
5.. Hill/Owens

Cracking the top 5 is definitely doable.

On 3. Referring to preston or drew? Preston was an outstanding, very underrated pass catch ing running back

 

[Guy Smiley]

Hard to do an Eastwood top ten, but I’ve always thought Two Mules for Sister Sara was an underrated gem.

(Buy) Potato salad = throw it in the trash.

Thank you! I was beginning to think I‘m the only person on the planet that can’t stand potato salad.

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.

Great list. Stating the obvious but numbers 2 through 10 become very meh if we have an 8-4 season.

 

[Ketchum]

Fair. I feel like the fight with Jack Wilson drags out too long. I like him throwing the fight against Tank Murdock. He doesn’t want want everyone coming after him but could easily beat his ass. Beating up the guy on the lake who stalks him the entire movie is great. I just love all the Black Widow/Philo stuff in the original. Orville finishes his pie while Clint goes outside with the Black Widows.

To be clear I would watch either one right now. Clint is a badass.

Both definitely have some real highlights.

 

[Ketchum]

Great Eastwood list I wouldn’t change a thing,

Bless you.

 

[Ketchum]

Unforgiven is a good movie, but #1? The fact that Pale Rider, Trouble with the Curve and The Mule aren’t even in your honorable mentions is criminal. I award you no points and issue you a yellow card.

Two of those movies didn't come close to making the list to such a degree that they weren't even considered.

 

[Ketchum]

Kind of arbitrary IMO and cost us a few modern era national championships. Can we at least compromise at 1960 ?

Not for me, no.

 

[Ketchum]

I am also really curious to see what kind of influence Chryst has on the offense/rushing attack and which OL takes on any jumbo TE role that Karic played.

Nope. You're not alone.

 

[Ketchum]

LOL ok guy.

The Kevin Nash reference was hall of fame level.

.500 gets me into the Hall of Fame!

 

[Ketchum]

Yea, how about top 3

As much as I love that movie, I can't put it into the top 3.

 

[Ketchum]

No ”High Plains Drifter “Hang ‘em‘ High”? Both some of his first!

Not for me. It was a tough Top 10 to squeeze into. I will say I'm probably flexible with the last two slots.

 

[Ketchum]

Cool refreshing potato salad at a 4th of July absolutely stays on the table and I swift kick baked beans right off.

@azhorns @Ketchum yall aren't invited on Tuesday.

I don't want your baked beans, either!

 

[Ketchum]

I really thought Lennon Creer was going to be more than he ended up being.

That was one I was sniffing out in real time. Rivals didn't listen to me.

 

[Dave C2]

Let me know when they win a Super Bowl---or play in one. Or even an NFC Championship game.

I'll stick to my assertion against your assertion.

 

[Ketchum]

GBU is no doubt a classic, and has a Longhorn grad in it (Eli Wallach). However, it drags a bit in the middle and should have been edited down. I think For a Few Dollars More and High Plains Drifter are more enjoyable watches.

That's fair.

 

[Ketchum]

I wonder how long after Banks arrived on campus it took for Flood to realize he was the best OL in the program and most likely a future first round pick?

First practice with pads? First week?

First day.

 

[Ketchum]

That’s a really good Eastwood list @Ketchum.

My nitpicks….

BOMC is too high. It would be at #10 for me.

Pale Rider needs to be an honorable mention.

Tight Rope needs to be an honorable mention.

 

[Ketchum]

No Bronco Billy???

🤷‍♂️

 

[Ketchum]

Could Murphy be a TE?

I don't think so. He's a quarterback.

 

[Ketchum]

If you don't have High Plains Drifter even on the list...

You missed.

I can live with that.

 

[Ketchum]

My favorite Alan Arkin movie is The In Laws with Peter Falk. They both are funny together.

His role in S1 of The Kominsky Method on Metflix is really great work by him at his older age.

I've seen none of that.

 

[Ketchum]

That's fair. I should have been more clear by saying that I view them as similar in terms of both being much more lopsided (wrt mature talent, depth and strategy) in favor of the offense. All-up, I think Texas hold the advantage (overall) to USC - both in offense and defense.

I'm not sure, but I know why you would say/think that.

 

[Ketchum]

His body transformation will likely pay-off in spades next season. Previously, his body just couldn't take the D1 level punishment, and it showed as the season wore on. Proud of QB1. Hook'em!

I do hope he's not too slight. NFL teams will want more weight on him.

 

[Ketchum]

Can you clarify? I’m not aware of the Dan Kendra story.

He was a 5-star quarterback that lifted so much weight that he turned himself into a fullback because he got too big,

 

[AlpacaCorch]

For me it will always be The Outlaw Josey Wales because of his exchange with Ten Bears.

 

[Ketchum]

@Ketchum Heartbreak Ridge is one of my all- time when sick at home go to movies - “the only thing you can build Webster is a good case of hemorrhoids!”

It's an all-time great "when it was on HBO back in the day" movie.

Probably seen it 500 times.

 

[Ketchum]

On 3. Referring to preston or drew? Preston was an outstanding, very underrated pass catch ing running back

Drew.

 

[Ketchum]

Hard to do an Eastwood top ten, but I’ve always thought Two Mules for Sister Sara was an underrated gem.

Never seen it.

 

[Ketchum]

Thank you! I was beginning to think I‘m the only person on the planet that can’t stand potato salad.
