Ketch's 10 Thoughts From the Weekend (The path for saving this season is crystal clear...)

[Dog from Duck Hunt]

I’ve had a lot of Tom Petty songs as my favorite at various points in time, but I think The Waiting is it for me. Can’t have a Top 10 without it.

 

[A-10HORN]

Ingram played well but he’s not the answer at RB here. Not if we’re going to compete for the B12 champ with ou. We also need to keep Smith and Eagles.

 

[Tyber]

10. Here Comes My Girl
9. You’re Gonna Get It
8. Don’t Do Me Like That
7. Into the Great Wide Open
6. You Got Lucky
5. Breakdown
4. Stop Dragging’ My Heart Around
3. Free Fallin’
2. Refugee
1. American Girl

This could be in top 5. Top 10 for sure.

Tom Petty sucks, but Last Dance with Mary Jane is a good song.

My favorite TP song, and it’s totally an outlier from his usual style.

 

[The House of El]

Almost a complete list for Tom Petty. I don’t k on what song you’d take off...but Mary Jane’s Last Dance deserves a spot.

 

[soberstan]

It’s pretty incredible that Petty had all those hits without a lead guitar.

Prevented him from being a rock and roll star.
Just my opinion.
Can you imagine someone saying:
Turn the music down, it's too loud for Tom Petty?
I actually thought of Richard Petty first.

 

[TD TX TD VY]

Tom Petty sucks, but Last Dance with Mary Jane is a good song.

 

[jtesq]

Baylor will lose all of their remaining games

OU and us aside, it would not surprise me one bit if Kansas pulled an upset and beat Baylor in the last game of the yr. That would be a very Les Miles thing to do.

 

[Hookempop]

It’s pretty incredible that Petty had all those hits without a lead guitar.

Ever heard of Mike Campdell?

 

[KoolMoD]

@Ketchum where is the new arena going to be located and when will it be finished?

 

[www67legend]

Pretty good Petty list...it's just incomplete, particularly without this one...

 

[HuffTex]

No. 10 – And Finally ...
Put me on record as being a major proponent for the new Moody Center after it was announced this weekend that the Moody Foundation in Galveston was donating $130 million towards the project.

There’s nothing in the Fenves announcement that says the donation was made toward the new gym. They’re being very nuanced in their language but it appears the money was donated to the University in general and it also got the Moody name on the building. I doubt it changes anything about who is going to own or control the building.

Fenves stated at the game that the donation was towards the new basketball arena, so there is that...

 

[PaulieD]

No “won’t back down” or “Mary Jane’s last dance” on your tom Petty list? Seriously ?

you don't know how it feels

 

[Ketchum]

Having a Petty top 10 without this song and Won’t Back Down is insane. I love Petty and this song is #2 behind AG

whoa!

 

[Ketchum]

Not really fair.......or is it??? Firsting your own OP; interesting. Have you ever done that before @Ketchum ?

A few times. Usually, it's when I'm feeling spry.

 

[Ketchum]

The defense played well after the first quarter against a mediocre offensive team. We are a better defensive team with a four man front and one less LB(Dele). But, I bet TO goes back to his much loved 3 man front next week. It’s telling that the weakest position group on the D is the one he is responsible for.

I was hoping to see Whittington Saturday, and some new offensive wrinkles with him involved would help next week, but now I’m sure not expecting it. TH needs to not get out coached by Campbell Saturday.

His injury setback this week didn't help.

 

[Ketchum]

You’re welcome.

The Waiting, Learning to Fly, and Mary Jane’s Last Dance Might are in his top 5 and none are listed. Where did they come in on your list?

Next 10.

@Ketchum

You really think Minnesota is deserving of #4 or are you just trying to be provocative?

I'd love to see them in the playoffs if they continue to win, but i don't think they have a realistic shot and i doubt they are a top 5 team anyway.

They have the best win of that group of teams after the top 3.

 

[Ketchum]

really? first on your own post?

got to question the # your likes now

Always ask questions. Always,

 

[Ketchum]

You could drop "Stop dragging my heart around" and slide in another
"Won't back down" or Free Fallin'.. Dragging has always hit me as a duet with Cocaine Stevie vs a true TB and THB song.

It's one of my first favorite songs as a kid listening to rock music. One of the great rock duets of all-time.

 

[Ketchum]

Turrible Tom Petty list. Really bad.

My Top 10 with the Rolling Stone ranking in parenthesis

10. Here Comes My Girl (16)
9. You’re Gonna Get It
8. Don’t Do Me Like That (13)
7. Into the Great Wide Open (12)
6. You Got Lucky (23)
5. Breakdown (8)
4. Stop Dragging’ My Heart Around (15)
3. Free Fallin’ (3)
2. Refugee (2)
1. American Girl (1)

I mean my list is made up of a consensus of his top 20 songs, my order is just different than others.

I am fully open to leaning towards his early stuff more than anything else. I love Petty when he's as his swaggiest.

No last dance with Mary Jane, is an utter failure

Rolling Stones No.17 Petty song.

 

[Ketchum]

Any Tom Petty list without Two Gunslingers is wrong.

No.34 on the Rolling Stones list.

 

[Ketchum]

You did a Petty list a few years ago, and you left "The Waiting" off that one as well. "Into the Great Wide Open" over "The Waiting"? Come on. "The Waiting" is a paradigm of Petty's signature Rickenbacher guitar sound, and just a great song. Man, dude . . .

("American Girl" No. 1 is the only choice there.)

The Waiting is the No.7 song on the Rolling Stone Magazine list. It was No.12 on my personal list. Not a huge difference.

 

[Ketchum]

I’ve had a lot of Tom Petty songs as my favorite at various points in time, but I think The Waiting is it for me. Can’t have a Top 10 without it.

Petty fans apparently disagree.

lulz

 

[Travis Galey]

No.34 on the Rolling Stones list.

Too low. It's an underrated song.

 

[shrevehorn]

When you think about it LSU can think Tom Herman for Joe Burrow.

Yep.

Watching the full game LSU v Bama. Good game.

Burrow was very very good. His receivers were even better, as was #22 RB, all 5’8” of him. And Bama played sloppy and stupid, penalties and turnovers. A recipe for a home loss.

 

[PepperedAngus]

(Sell) Gif-time!

hahahaha...last year around this time, they were 5-0 with wins over Arkansas and UNC

 

[Ketchum]

@Ketchum where is the new arena going to be located and when will it be finished?

 

[Ketchum]

Too low. It's an underrated song.

Petty has a pretty incredible library.

I know the Moody’s but what connection do they have to UT ?

Ross Moody is a Texas Ex, keeps a place in Austin, and the family patriarch Bill Moody went to UT law in the late 1800's. Family also donates $$ to other universities in the state.
