Ketch's 10 Thoughts From The Weekend (Permission to Dream Colossally)

[Number-5]

Indulge me a bonus B/S question:

Considering the team has not really been tested in a 4 quarter battle, you’d sweat a tie ball game late against the likes of Georgia, Bama, Miami or Ohio st?

Also I think a VERY underrated Tom Hanks movie is Bachelor Party. Genius comedy and old school Hanks.

Phillip Hoffman outshined him. His role was ok

He did have a nice scene in the hot tub in that movie

 

[Ketchum]

I want to believe in this pass defense @Ketchum , but we haven’t played a passing offense with even remotely a pulse. We may not know truly know how good this D is until the playoffs.

I think we know.

 

[Ketchum]

Move Castaway up on your list Ketch. If you ask 10 people to name a Tom Hanks movie many will name castaway.

How many?

Saving Private Ryan reaches deep into my soul, without a lot of explanation it helped me to relate to my grandfather and things he was feeling regarding the war and his brothers

Tom Hanks is a talented actor

First time I saw it was in a theater with a group of male friends, we just sat in the theatre for several minutes after it ended no one was saying a word to each other. We just sat there getting our emotions together before we got up and walked into the lobby. We weren't the only ones

 

[MB-HORNS]

This is fun. I don’t if we will win it all but it sure is fun to know we have a team that can win it all.

 

[Ketchum]

Also, OU may not have their coach now, but they have proven throughout their football history, or at least since the 1940s, that they will make a major investment in the sport and will not stand for mediocrity. They define themselves throught their football program and have been very successful (some by caring so much they cheated heavily). Like it or not, they are a blue blood and will do what it takes to compete for NCs. This is why they are our #1 rival and we hate them so much, but it is factually correct. I expect to see them in the mix for SEC championships at some point post Venerables.

The shouldn't have gone to the SEC. It won't ever be the same.

15 QBs listed as 5-stars. The majority didn't hit. Says a lot that Sarkisian has two hits on the roster.

 

[Ketchum]

Of course Forrest Gump is Tom Hanks best film.

Damn, son.

Of course?

 

[MauiHorn]

Personally, I saw Arch look like a rookie on one series against UTSA which made me think QE is a way better QB right now.

It’s a no brainer to get QE in for our big games with teams that have a decent defense. Arch and UT are lucky to get incredible experience now.

 

[Ketchum]

I can’t believe you put Forrest Gump behind two trite rom-coms.

 

[MauiHorn]

Of course?

My wife hates that movie for some reason.

 

[Ketchum]

When my kids were little I wanted them to see Big. Up until this movie, they never heard the F word. They were dying to know it and knew it was off limits with us.

Of course who remembers the F bomb scene in Big? I did not. Meanwhile, my now 32 and 28 year old think of that movie as how they learned the F bomb word.

So, with that I agree with your assessment on its ranking…

When is the F-bomb dropped?

 

[Anwar Richardson]

QB - Hudson Card (Purdue): 7 of 17 for 56 yards, 1 TD and 1 INT (76.5 rating) in a 38-21 loss to Oregon State.

His backup must not be able to throw more than 5 yards.

a. Every close game late is worth sweating.

n. I love that movie.

 

[RCPERK2]

Still some level of PTSD and hard to get used to a really good UT.

 

[Ketchum]

This is fun. I don’t if we will win it all but it sure is fun know we have a team that can wit it all.

It's gonna be a fun and memorable ride.

Same

 

[Ketchum]

15 QBs listed as 5-stars. The majority didn't hit. Says a lot that Sarkisian has two hits on the roster.

Interesting main takeaway. The long-term numbers even out much higher. Small sample size.

Define way better?

 

[FenwayBevo]

I missed it. Why was Sydir a donkey?

 

[Ketchum]

My wife hates that movie for some reason.

I mean... it gets me in my feels all the time, but some people really don't think it aged well.

Through four weeks of the season, I find myself thinking that we're watching the second-best Texas team my eyes have seen in four decades of watching Texas football.


1. 2005
2. 2024
3. 2008
4. 2004
5. 2009/2023

Funny, I almost put something very similar to this into a B/S question. Have been a Texas fan since 2000, and this team is the most talented I’ve seen outside of the 2005 title team. We are explosive in all three phases of the game and very deep. Can’t wait to see how the rest of the season plays out, but barring injuries I think we are the best team in the country, and it may not be that close.

Good write up as always, Geoff!

 

[Ketchum]

I can set my watch on you seizing on any moment where Card doesn't have a good game.

 

[texan886]

Great read.

 

[Ketchum]

completely fair

 

[Sark Astic]

@diehard horn .....please find a better question next time.

Shaking my head.

 

[Number-5]

a. Every close game late is worth sweating.

n. I love that movie.

I guess, as someone else put it, I have tremendous PTSD when trusting a Texas team. Last year helped a ton until Penix. That being said those are the magical games that are always remembered.

I think people forget how funny Hanks was to start his career. Money Pit and Bachelor party are all timers.

 

[BMTHORN]

Underrated Hanks movie = The Burbs

Not arguing top 5, but it’s sneaky hilarious

 

[marinehorn]

Good job Ketch. We're having fun this year aren't we? Good Hanks list, but I would have them in a different order.

 

[Ketchum]

I missed it. Why was Sydir a donkey?

was taken off the field and into the locker room after some kind of conflict it seems.

Oh, I enjoy the movie. For sure.

Let's see your top 10!

 

[Anwar Richardson]

I can set my watch to the amount of times he has a bad game, which is pretty much every week
