Ketch's 10 Thoughts From the Weekend
- Thread starter Ketchum
- Start date
@Ketchum can you elaborate on this some? Curious what it is that they are lacking (besides the pass rush that we all know about).
If you say so, Vance.
Soccer fan trying to make soccer rocket science is funny.
I'd bet I watch 15-20+ hours per week How about you?
This week alone, I've watched 5 games involving EPL teams, 5 MLS games and at least five games from the Olympics.
+1
I don't know what it is but there's just something about completely destroying teams and watching the look on their face that says they expected an ass-kicking but they still didn't expect this. It's incredible. This must be what it felt like to be a Roman back in its heyday.
I think Godfather II is the superior film, but I love watching Part I more. The decadence and decline of Michael and the Corleone family is so richly realized at the end of Part II, and that last closing image of Michael... so good.
Regardless, Godfather I is the more romantic and engaging picture to view time and time again. Part III really misses Duvall, and that haircut that Michael has... Ugh.
Where has this idea come from that our defense has been crap for the past two years? Did you watch the 2014 season? I don't necessarily disagree about Vance's "hot seat - whatever that actually means. But the two years of subpar defense argument is just wrong. What am I missing?
I understand wanting to follow a new sport. I've recently gotten into Nascar. A sport that I used to never consider a sport. But it is refreshing to learn all of the nuances in a sport in which you have a knowledge base of zero. It is refreshing and somewhat rewarding to figure it out and have a personal favorite to root for. Logano is my guy and I hate fords.....bwtfdik.
Agreed, I would like to see ketch expound on this. Specifically the 2014 defense as to how it was disappointing/embarrassing.
If we're talking Bedford, let's acknowledge that his D has absolutely stonewalled and pulled OU's panties down the last two years in Dallas. It has lacked consistency and it's had some meltdowns but last year there were what 5+ freshman on the filed on any given snap.
Perspective - some of you need it, a lot of it!

I love that @Anwar Richardson doesn't beat around the bush and has been driving the Shane Train for months. I've been on it with him.
Regarding Bedford, if he dicks around and sticks with 2 slugs at safety then he deserves what gets.
She has to be in there too, but I have to take Taurasi over her by a very slim margin. I will take Swoopes over Leslie though.
I'm with you. Part II is the better film, but you love the set up in Part I. Part III should have never been made. Most Godfather fans never acknowledge that movie
Great Job Ketch!
The QB job will be determined in the scrimmages. Who moves the team better gets the nod.
That being said I will be shocked if it's not Buechele.
You watched a lot of soccer. You may want to watch a couple games with people who played the game a lot. To all those bitching your doing fine with soccer.

After the spring game, that was all I needed to see. It's not like you have to worry about hurting anybody's feelings. Shane has earned the job. Let's move on.
The heat is on Bedford, and Ketch's observation is accurate. Strong us this is actually Bedford's defense. Now that we know that, there is a lot of pressure on Bedford, especially considering Brian Jean will probably receive a job offer because of his recruiting success. I can imagine Strong having to contemplate promoting Brian Jean to DC if there is an offer on the table from another school.
Merrick is a guy who has shown a lot of improvement, mostly because of Gilbert's offense. He's not in the mix to play this year, but he has improved
Vance may be on the hot seat this year, but I remember (as do others) that we were pleased with the 2014 defense. Improvement from Thompson, Steve Edmond, and even Hix had us all excited about the future. We were crowing about player development.
And I remember being in Dallas when, at the half, OU had one first down!!
A full half of football and they had one first down. But they also had 14 points on a defensive and a special teams touchdown, but that's not on the defense.

While I have enjoyed The Night Of (and admittedly haven't viewed episode 5 yet), it's time for the show to pick up the pace. There simply haven't been enough revelations or twists to justify the pace.
