Ketch's 10 Thoughts From The Weekend (Sark's prayers were answered)

[Ketchum]

@Ketchum I was always partial to Yellow Dog from Funny Farm. I mean he was so vital he was going to be sold as part of the house.

Great call.

 

[Ketchum]

So sorry you don’t want to talk about the Cowboys. However, I NEVER want to hear about the Cowboys. I’m sick of Longhorn fans who believe that all UT fans are Cowboy fans! This is a Longhorn board and we keep getting wat too much Cowboy talk on here and especially on the Podcasts. Please stop.

 

[Ketchum]

what did I do? You don't like Old Yeller?

 

[Ketchum]

More films than most on the list not named Lassie

Films[edit]​

• Benji (1974)
• Hawmps! (1976; cameo)
• For the Love of Benji (1977)
• The Double McGuffin (1979; cameo)
• Oh! Heavenly Dog (1980)
• Benji the Hunted (1987)
• Benji: Off the Leash! (2004)
• Benji (2018)

fair enough.

@Ketchum Hoping that Michigan has a DT that Sark can get. After looking at the class chart, I’m not quite as worried about the position.

You might be if a couple of our freshman DTs bolt.

Not quite as worried….that doesn’t mean I don’t have concerns or that I wouldn’t welcome one or two more.

He's not on scholarship.

I assume NIL has him covered to save a formal countable NCAA scholarship?

 

[bluejay7780]

fair enough.

Haha. I met Benji at the Anatole Hotel in Dallas in 1979 when I flew in for an interview with ARCO for a Petroleum Landman position. His handler was pulling him around in a zipper front carry-on bag. Well-mannered young star.

Correct.

 

[fouled_anchor]

Tired of the cowboy beatdown @Ketchum?

 

[wfoot1]

Sark better pray for some DTs.

 

[boernefan]

Sark better pray for some DTs.

I am sure he is praying for DT’s but I bet he is evaluating and looking under every rock (roster) for what we need.

 

[Baguette]

If you’re just a fair weather fan, go ahead.

40 years now a Dallas fan. I hardly call that fair weather. But enough is enough! Hire a kick ass coach, and I'll be back in....but only if Dak undergoes PTSD therapy or goes elsewhere.

 

[Dal_Horn]

Togo = #1
Go update your list @Ketchum

View embedded media

Never heard of Togo or the movie about him but we just watched it. Great story and good movie. Togo is GOAT

 

[longhornmjc]

Ketch great 10 thoughts. Sark is just killing it in everything recruiting high school kids transfers & coaching hires I expect a big time DL coaching hire soon.
As a lot of people have said the Bulls fans booing Krause with his widow having to deal with it was very sad I doubt they care but had to be just so awful for her. I read that the ESPN story Last Dance put him in such a bad light because Jordan disliked him
I have the dog from the last day in Hollywood as my number 1 but your list was very solid

 

[Let em Hang]

10. Winn-Dixie (Because of Winn-Dixie)
9. Fred (Smokey and the Bandit)
8. Brandy (Once Upon a Time in Hollywood)
7. Old Yeller (Old Yeller)
6. Brinkley (You've Got Mail)
5. Rin Tin Tin (The Man from Hell’s River )
4. Toto (The Wizard of Oz)
3. Lassie (Lassie Come Home)
2. Marley (Marley & Me)
1. Baxter (Anchorman)

If Old Yeller isn’t no.1 your list is invalid.

 

[TexasJeff]

Dog from "Hondo"???

 

[Let em Hang]

You’re sleeping on Bandit Heeler!

From Johnny Quest?

 

[Let em Hang]

@Ketchum . No Astro on your dog list? Are you American?

 

[Ketchum]

I mean it's a pretty hot take to say than Old Yeller > Snoopy.

 

[Ketchum]

@Ketchum . No Astro on your dog list? Are you American?

I need to do a TV list, so everyone can get even madder at me.

 

[Utexex1989]

Dak Prescott is not.

This. Also, Tony Romo was not it, either. I was a Cowboys fan back in the day before Jones unceremoniously fired Tom Landry. My fandom waned from that point on, even though I was low key happy to see them win with Aikman, et al. (Not so much when Switzer took over, considering my Orange blood.) Dak and Romo have elite level skills, but neither of them have/had the eye of the tiger. Sam Ehlinger, in my opinion, was only a plus player, but his level of eye of the tiger was beaucoup. If we were down by a few points at the end of the game, I had a pretty good feeling that Ehlinger could put the team on his back and will us to a win, especially in big time games. I feel/felt the exact opposite with both Dak and Romo, at least when the games truly mattered.

This coaching carrousel transfer portal period has been exciting to watch as Sark and Co., zero in on their targets and reel in some high quality talent. I'm looking forward to all of the Spring hype and seeing what 2024 can bring in our first year in the SEC. It would be awesome to keep the tradition - winning our last SWC title, our first Big 12 title, our last Big 12 title, our first SEC .... Lot of pie in the sky there with a Big Gulp of orange Koolaid, but I think our likelihood of pulling off that first Big 12 title against Nebraska was pretty farfetched too.

I hope not to have to eat my words, but, as I've said many times before, Arch isn't going anywhere. This scenario was totally in his and the Mannings' playbook. I agree with you that, until Ewers can string together a full, injury-free season, Arch is likely going to be starting at least one game next year and likely more than that. Who knows, it could be a Bledsoe to Brady type situation if Arch has cooked long enough by then. I keep thinking about that last floated pass to AD in the Sugar Bowl and the absolute rifle, clothes-line pass that Arch drilled incomplete to AD in the Tech game and wonder, what if ...? I know he wasn't ready, but still ...

Good stuff, @Ketch!

Was there a Jetsons movie?

Yes

 

[happee]

you can update Jerrin Thompson now

Yes.

 

[Ketchum]

Yes.

 

[TexasLawnghorn]

From Johnny Quest?

From Bluey

 

[HookemChargers]

There are probably more than that if we're being honest.

Why not allow college football to make trades since we want to do everything else that the NFL does. I mean we could use a upgrade at OG, but for some reason we are happy with our OL and not other spots. What does it say to players like Niblett Cook and Moore if you are just adding players in front of them. I think they needed one older player but as it looks now Moore wont play much and will get left out for a second year. That sucks for those kids.

 

[HookemChargers]

Why is Neto not starting? Any news on Guilbeau and Red? Welch and the TE that went into the portal for 5 min should be passed over if we need spots for all the transfers.

That feels illegal and I don't mean NCAA illegal.

a. Neto isn't better than the other guards yet.

b. Not really.
