Ketch's 10 Thoughts From The Weekend (Ready or not, the season continues...)

[ThrowittoRoy]

I watched the new Elvis movie this week and it might be the first time I've ever wished Tom Hanks wasn't in a movie.

100% agree. I also felt like the accent Tom decided on just came across too forced / overly fake.

 

[Ketchum]

Wow. I wasn’t aware of some those other non calls by the refs.

Im sorry to have to break it to you.

 

[Ketchum]

Great column!

Thanks, man!

 

[Ketchum]

After some time to think about the game, the most impressive thing about this team is that they put themselves in a position to win this game after losing their difference maker at the most important position before the 2nd quarter after giving up that long TD run.

This is a different team.

No doubt.

 

[Ripper 1]

Ran into Chase at halftime

 

[RLong68]

1. The non-interference call.

Second and goal at the Alabama 8-yard line in the first quarter. If this gets called, the Longhorns are sitting at the 1-yard line and in a first-and-goal situation. Instead, Texas faced a third and goal from the eight that it didn't convert. It's a potential four-point swing

Yep that was pretty f’n bad. The DB literally from the line of scrimmage all the way thru the incompletion.

 

[Ketchum]

Any news on Bijan?

Haven't heard anything pending the MRI. That might be a good thing. I was thinking if it were serious, the news would be out.

 

[BrobaFapp]

If this is the week in and week out intensity we get from this defense then we will be in good shape, despite the injuries to the offense. We may have to eek out some wins but that's OK.

This defense definitely had a chip on its shoulder. Maybe a lot of it was the help of GP game planning or maybe they are also buying into PK's system. But if they continue this exciting play it will attract a lot more big level talent.

 

[Ketchum]

The missed field goal was partially blocked. Not fair to put that on the kicker, even if his hair is ridiculous.

You have to make it from 20.

 

[RLong68]

* The Longhorns have to be incredibly creative moving forward to make sure they get the ball to Xavier Worthy more. I'm not sure they did enough of that on Saturday, while acknowledging the quarterback situation was less than ideal.

On the flip side Worthy has to make that catch in the EZ.

 

[Ketchum]

I'll ask again.

B/S Bijan, Worthy and possibly Banks are the only Texas players that would start for Bama

B/S The coaching and preparation for the game yesterday was the best in over a decade after accounting for the overall discrepancy in talent between the two teams

@Ketchum

Sell - Jordan and Banks would start fo them.

Buy - Yeah, I'll go for that.

 

[Ketchum]

Sorry Ketch but you fumbled on the Elvis list

[RLong68]

* Kelvin Banks was sensational on Saturday. Whatever Will Anderson got in the game, it didn't come by going through Banks. I thought he was better against Alabama than he was against La-Monroe.

let me help you out.

Hey dipsh*t @Adam Gorney

Elvis was the first movie I’ve ever watched and thought Tom Hanks was poorly cast in it.

Hanks has a love of music from that era. He should have stayed satisfied with being a producer and bit role player in this one. Heck, play Vernon.

With Elvis, you could have separate lists for top 10 studio recordings and top live songs.

This showcases his voice and was a concert favorite:

 

[Ketchum]

The only song that mattered on your Elvis list is the top song and you….


NAILED IT!!!!

Absolutely love that song. I can’t hear it without singing it the next few days. Drives my wife insane.

 

[Ketchum]

@Ketchum why is Big12 officiating so terrible. What do other leagues do that this one doesn’t?

I don't have a good answer other than improving it has never been a league priority, obviously.

 

[Ketchum]

Bills gonna win the SB, book it.

Very, very, very possible.

 

[Ketchum]

I know I don’t have a voice right now. Myself and @StrosBros were definitely doing our part.

well done.

 

[Ketchum]

Feels like with Riley, Caleb, and company, OU would be runaway favorite in Big 12 right now and legit playoff contender.

But 7-3 halftime with Kent State is better.

Yup, almost no choice but to take a step back.

 

[Califashorn]

As a diehard Steeler fan, I was high and low that last quarter! Losing Watt hurts.

 

[Ketchum]

@Ketchum

If X doesn’t drop the TD in the end zone. He probably has 140-150 yds and a TD. They aren’t exactly ignoring him.

I didn't say they were. They just needed to find more ways to get him involved.

 

[Bevonator]

When I had a high ankle sprain I couldn't stand on it for days after it happened. No way Card's was as bad as mine. I probably could have played a football game in five-six weeks but wasn't 100% for months. Hopefully his is no more than a few weeks. Might not be much sooner than Ewers. But maybe it's pretty mild as high ankles go and he can play this week or next.

 

[Ketchum]

Elvis was the first movie I’ve ever watched and thought Tom Hanks was poorly cast in it.

It was kind of surreal to see him take away from a movie to such a large degree.

 

[Ketchum]

I said in another thread I was there at the ‘77 Texas v. OU Cotton Bowl when, in the first quarter, #1 and #2 QBs Mark McBath and Jon Aune both went down FOR THE SEASON. Next man up — Randy MacEachern and some RB named Campbell.

The rest, they say, is history.

Heisman history.

Hang around long enough and history can repeat itself.

 

[Schaffer2019]

Bills gonna win the SB, book it.

Booked.

 

[Bubba Don]

I saw Elvis in concert twice in the 1972-76 time frame and three highly underrated songs from his live sets that brought the house down both times were:

1. Guitar Man
2. You Gave Me A Mountain
3. My Way

At some point can the damn football Gods smile on us....

 

[drunk randoke]

Sucks. Time to figure out plan C and move on.

 

[Horn1515]

May the spirit of Robert Brewer take over Charles Wright's QB instincts.

 

[drunk randoke]

At some point can the damn football Gods smile on us....

Let’s sacrifice an OB member for good luck? Gclass or txgrad93 imo
