Ketch's 10 Thoughts From The Weekend (Permission to Dream Colossally)
- Thread starter Ketchum
- Start date
What was his rating vs ULM? I'm guessing 140ish.
Is he? All that preseason hype from "inside the building" is why it's hard to take any of that seriously. He's playing for his NFL future and he just dissappears.
Bolden made two beautiful catches laying out 100 % horizontally., that dude is fearless. He needs to be right there with Bond as WR1b.
Damn, missed it. What happened?
5 more flips? Interesting.
There is nothing to gain playing Ewers vs MSU if he's not 100%. Only downside. Suit him up in case of emergency.
Mizzou is a fraud. They don't have the talent top to bottom.
Big is one of my top 5 movies. I'm so proud to be a 20+ year subscriber to a message board owned by a man that puts that as Hank's top film.
Money Pit... That scene where Hanks is falling through the floor and the subsequent disaster is one of the greatest comedy scenes ever. I don't care if people make fun of me for saying this, but I was quite close to peeing myself the first time I saw that. I was laughing like a dolphin.

@Ketchum
Here’s what I saw… (As talented as Arch is)
He threw into triple coverage instead of
“wide-open receivers” multiple times… why?!?
Lie to me and tell me my eyes are lying?!?
Arch is going to be good… REALLY GOOD!!!
But Quinn is better, period.
Another great TTFTW!
I love watching this team and to say I’m excited about watching the Arch to Wingo connection next year is a massive understatement.
But are these four of the worst offenses we’ve started the season against in long time?
I’m happy that we are going to have a run of confidence going into the GA game but part of me still worries that we don’t know enough about this team yet. I’m probably just trying to keep my expectations in check.
Lastly I applaud the undertaking of trying to rank a guys movies when that guy just cracks our so many great movies. But my cents has A Man Called Otto and The Green Mile listed somewhere in the discussion and SPR has to be number 1.
Also… You’ve Got Mail?!?! Cmon man!

With Catch Me If You Can and Bridge of Spies on the honorable mentions list, I fully intended to quibble with your Hank’s list, but, reading through the top 10, I found it hard to “demote” any of those. If I’m picking nits, I’d put Money Pit (regardless of that being a great flick) against either of those 2, which are 2 of my favorite movies. “Knock - Knock”
I think the entire process of what’s going on with the team is the best case scenario for Arch and the Manning family. Quinn is QB1, period, end of story. As we all know, Freshman (and RS-Fr), even those named Manning, have growing pains during their first year leading their teams. The fact that Arch is getting the opportunity to get through his growing pains in a “sub” year with extensive live reps, … wow, as stoked as I am about the team this year, I am drooling with orange Kool-Aid even daring to think about next year. My preference would be to start Quinn against Miss St, and then bring Arch in at the second series in the 3rd quarter. Test out Quinn’s obliques and knock some rust off, and then hand the reins to Arch to get more of his growing pains out, sharpening him for QB1 in 2025 for a two-peat - dare I say.
I really love this team. I have rooted for Sark since he took over. He has such a great redemptive personal story. I like his attitude towards life now, and respect his ability to unite the players and get that love-of-brother mentality instilled across the team. Having lived through the entitled, mentally weak era of Longhorn football, I LOVE seeing a first team, second team, third team, practice squad, and walk-ons full of dogs! And, dogs that love each other, and look on the field like they will put everything on the line to back-up their brothers. This is the team that I’ve been waiting for my entire life as a Longhorn grad and fan. Regardless of whether they get it all this year or not, I love this team and have such high hopes for the future.

Im sure there’s a lesson here somewhere regarding where to search for elite D1 talent in the Portal. Maybe it’s still early 🤷🏻♂️
Be better Ketch …. Haven’t the last few years taught you anything at all… sigh
(In case it’s not obvious for some, the sarcasm meter registers at 10 for this post)
Offense:
VY, the entire OL (except J Scott..:Banks over him), David Thomas (best UT TE I’ve ever seen). Ramonce Taylor was a freak talent too….particularly for his role. RB is a wash.
And VY behind that line…not a chance anyone could stop that….and nobody did. Ever.
Defense:
The entire 2005 Secondary. That secondary cannot ever be topped. 5 NFL guys…legit NFL guys at that.
This 2024 team is really good but it’s not 2005 great!
Yes, the guy who was a third round pick vs. 2 that will be first round picks.
One guy was a career back-up, the other two will be drafted as projected starters.
But, sure.... lol
He would have been a good 6th string running back coming into the season.
He needed to leave in order to get serious about football again.
You have to have a different side to have a dude like that carrying your water.
a. Yes, he is.
b. We report what happens. Can you name other examples of hype? I think everyone got a little carried away with projections to some degree, but everyone around the team felt like he was going to be a difference maker.
c. I wouldn't say he's disappearing. He's just not making big plays. he entered last week in tier 3 of Alex's production rankings, along with Gbenda, Sorrell and Lefau... all good players.
You might be my favorite Orangebloods member!
The difference today is that OU can't really cheat their way back to prominence. They have to bid against everyone else for players, and they can't steal signs thanks to helmet mikes.
Outside of cheating, all they've ever had to sell is their history of success. A few down years and even that does away. Not saying it will happen, but I could totally see them going the Nebraska route.
a. Why? Because he's very aggressive.
b. No one is saying Arch is better. He might be more talented, though...
