Ketch's 10 Thoughts From The Weekend: Watch out, Colt! Here comes Quinn...
- Thread starter Ketchum

For Texas, it's the integration of the team. I've always thought of it that way.
It's definitely not 1936.
Oh come on, it's not rocket science.
The 1969 Longhorns were the last all-white champion in the sport.
Well I’m sure it might be taxing to figure out all stats and stuff - so if they didn’t play maybe just put DNP - or maybe if they did something and put up stats then mention - whatever - I like when we get the updates of NFL and Portal players - just because it didn’t work on The 40 - they’re still part of Horn Family IMO. And it’s cool to see them doing well - not all Portal players flamed out here - some just needed little less competition I guess. Thanks for asking
I feel like HBO had Gung Ho on a constant loop for like a year and I watched it every time. Great movie.
Couldn’t agree more, much more fun to watch these guys. Contrast them with Caden Sterns who was afraid to commit his body to a tackle.
Love the weekly write-up, Ketch, and boy is life better when Texas is this good. The top 10 is just great as well. I like Keaton, but as someone who’s 62, I remember when Night Shift and Mr. Mom came out and catapulted Keaton into the stratosphere. There was no funnier actor on the planet at that point. But I’d never rate Beetlejuice in my top 10. Tim Burton’s just not my cup of tea. Had no idea Keaton was in Cars or Toy Story 3. Keep up the great work!
Ketch - fantastic read this morning. As stated by others, this is always one of my Sunday night/Monday morning “look forward to’s”. This was solid.
You made me literally laugh about the punting stat. That was great. As BudaHorn clarified with us being 109th in actual punts, you’re right, nobody cares.
OL:
I think this OL is easily the best OL we’ve had since 2005’s team. I agree Banks > J Scott but that’s it.
As for the Colt/Ewers comparison, my vote is still easily with Colt but let’s see how Ewers’ season ends before any final declarations…however if we’re all in agreement about the OL (this year), it should be a very simple fact that Colt’s OL was not nearly as good as this OL….and right now Colt has the advantage in terms of playing in the NC game (and we all know the outcome of that game easily would have been different had he not got injured…in the first quarter).
TE - I was a big Sanders fan but honestly, give me Helm over him. He’s scrappier and seems more complete.
DL - this DL is showing signs of much improved DE and progress to be made interiorly.
Secondary - this secondary definitely looks far better than last year’s. Nowhere close to 2005 but definitely a strength so far for us but it’s still early to know how battle tested we are back there. Mich QB play was horrific and with 5 new OL for them, the secondary was poised to look good. I’m still very bullish though.
One suggestion: in the spirit of being able to just read the football (non- Hollywood) related comments, I think it would be great to have your Top 10 movies/etc in a separate column. Most times I enjoy them. Sometimes it’s someone I couldn’t care less about and sometime I’ve just really short on time and wanting to read just football content. Again, I’d likely still read those threads if started separately but it would make reading through this thread more efficient.
Again - fantastic read this morning. Much appreciated.

It was less the tackling and more the playmaking thing that I thought he lacked.
It was him and Eddie Murphy emerging at the same time.
@Ketchum - I noticed that Keelon R. is the #1 Dual-threat QB on the ranking list but if you click on his profile he is categorized as a Pro-style QB. How would you define him?
I ask this in part because it seems (emphasis added on “seems”) that Sark prefers a pro-style QB for his system.
The first time I saw Beetlejuice I absolutely hated it, except for the scene at the dinner table with the Harry Belafonte song but watched it a second time and liked it much better - I’ll watch it again if it’s on now which is a tell on how great a movie is—- the little Beetlejuice under his breath comments are some of the best.
It should be 1940. F*ck aggy and their 1939 squad of mouth breathing sod busters.
lol blame it on iPhone combined w my unwillingness/ too lazy to fix it. Ive got that auto populate mess on I guess.
