Ketch's 10 Thoughts From The Weekend (Prediction time...)

H

How about the backlash for having Bad News Bears as high as you rated it?? In fact, is that really a baseball movie? A feel good kids movie in my opinion.
You're asking if Bad News Bears is a baseball movie?
 
ULL is a top 15 caliber team. Everyone back except Ragas and Mitchell and big enough on the LOS to compete with us. If we come out flat, they'll be up by 2-3 scores at halftime. They're not too far behind ISU and OU especially game 1.

Great takes. I’m so excited to get this season started.

Regarding the WR… you have JW leading in receptions and XW putting up the best freshman campaign since Roy Williams.

I think Josh Moore and Troy O are significant contributors and the distribution is more balanced.

My prediction is Josh Moore will lead the team in receiving yards and touch downs.
If you can have balance by the receivers and tight ends catching a similar total number of passes you can keep the defense in disarray because Bijan is on his way.
 
Geoff, I like your style. Keep making fearless predictions.

I sure hope so...
We MUST defeat TCU if we are to step into the next tier. We need to pound these guys so there is no doubt so that it is not sufficiently close for the refs to impact the game.

Also, I'm not buying into the hype that is Iowa State. Are they a very good team? Yes. But unlike previous years they are not going to sneak up on anyone this year. Indeed, when is the last time Iowa State was ever ranked in the preseason Top 10? They have some talent but it's not "scary talent" save for Breece Hall (Give me Robinson every day and twice on Sundays). Yes, they're playing at home and it will be a hyper-charged atmosphere. I still think we can take them. Bear in mind we had DREADFUL offensive performances in the past two games with them (eight three and outs in Ames in 2019) and we still lost both games by five points. They are a better team but so are we. I think we take the Cyclones.

Lastly, RE Baseball movies: For the Love of the Game is IMO the best baseball movie ever.

gets me in my feelings every time.

It's a movie about regret and having a second chance to deal with it.
It’s a weird movie about baseball with a warm and fuzzy notion attached.

I always loved that movie, but once I had kids and my Dad passed it just hits me like a ton of bricks. The idea that you could introduce your kids to their grandpa (my dad died 5 months after our first child was born), have a catch, and just talk one more time is this fantasy and dream that I would give everything I have for…like he says, “maybe it is heaven”

At least you didn't bite on less than 3-0 start like Anwar. Let's hope they start good and catch fire. UT needs to see the seeds of optimism if not true optimism in 2021. The close but no banana decade has been tough to endure. Here's to Hook 'em and Happier Days.
 
I think this defense has NFL players along the defensive line, linebacker and in the secondary.

YOu're right.... no first rounders.... but I see some guys that could be day two picks.
I see 2-4 2nd 3rd day guys in DT and believe Collins could be a day 1 (not all this year)

Think Overshown is 2-3 round

Think Jamison is 3-5 round.
 
Bad News Bears sucks and Long Gone doesn’t belong in the list. Move The Natural to top 3 and all is good. Always enjoy your column.

WTF? You should probably sit this one out.
