Ketch's 10 Thoughts From the Weekend
- Thread starter Ketchum
- Start date
I don't think Part III is dreadful. However, you're correct, at least for my part, I've only viewed Part III once and have never felt the need to view it again. Most of the cast, including Coppola, admitted they only did it for money.
It's close convo. Can definitely make the case for Swoopes there.
You would like him to tell Charlie that he would like you to explain how the 2014 defense was embarrassing?
I agree that both movies are perfect 10's, but I do think Godfather II is the better made film. It's quite an ambitious picture, and the way the story comes together along with the masterful juxtaposition of the two narratives - the rise of the father, and fall of the son, both at the same ages, is so skillfully crafted, that I believe pound for pound it's the better made film. The production values, cinematography are also elevated. They look marvelous on blu ray. Damn, they're so good! They are perfect 10's. No question. Now I feel like watching it.
WTF is this crap! This post with this picture needs to be deleted and the poster should be banned. Terrible
.... Randomness from Rio:
a. Women’s rugby is the surprise must-see sport of the Games.
b. Diana Taurasi is a top-five all-time women’s player, right? Cheryl Miller, Cynthia Cooper, Lisa Leslie and Maya Moore are the other four for me.
c. I don't care what anyone says, I like watching out hoops team beat the hell out of the rest of the world.
d. Get ready for our women's gymnastic's team to become the darling of the next two weeks. Those girls are kicking butt and taking names.
e. What in the world is going on with the Brazilian soccer team?
f. I really hate it for our Olympians that they can’t go into Rio brothels without TMZ pestering them. What’s the world coming to?
g. What Katie Ledecky did to the rest of the field in the 400-meter freestyle was pretty crazy. And by crazy, I mean she beat everyone by at least five seconds.
h. Dario Saric punking Pau Gasol at the rim on Sunday at the buzzer might be my favorite Olympic moment of the weekend.
No. 10 - And finally …
If you’re not watching HBO’s The Night of, you’re missing out on my favorite show from the summer.
It’s kind of a cross between The Wire and True Detective.[/QUOTE]
d. Our women's gymnastics team does not need to Take names, they are Making their Own, Right NOW! Enjoy
It's gonna be good
g. Katie Ledecky still has the 800m, gonna be a bigger margin of defeat- Get Ready World, she ain't done YET!!

You said this. Not Charlie. And it's just not true. Again, I don't necessarily disagree with the overall theme, but the facts-free world is a pet peeve of mine and it undermines the rest of the discussion.
All of those players will tell you Lynette Woodard is the greatest of all time end of story.
And that is great if he is coming around because perhaps he could put himself in position to be a backup next season as a security blanket to redshirt Ehlinger. I don't really think Merrick will be a real contender to be the starter but he could be a guy who could provide depth the next 4 seasons.
Holy Moly! Tell it like it is, Ketch! Whaddya think you are, a Texan!?
#1. It's Buechele! No theory, no ifs, ands, buts or living in the land of Oz! Love it!
#2 needed to be said. Enuff cat jokes, Bedford. Either start coaching or start packing! The defense has been a joke, and an embarrassing one at that, under his tutelage. He should've better, lack of elite players be damned.

Almost certainly better than "solid," but fair enough.
Interesting to ponder whether there's a defensive showing this season that would be poor enough to get Bedford canned while also not being poor enough to get Strong himself shown the door. The potential "promote BJM or lose him" dynamic makes it even interesting-er.
Ketch: you've been consistently saying UT won't extend the GOR and the Big 12 is dead man walking, which is music to my ears. But, you haven't said what our most likely landing place is...is that because our administration doesn't truly know yet, they haven't told anybody yet, or you're not letting us know what you're hearing?
Also, I watched Scarface recently and I didn't remember how many great lines Pacino had in that flick...he was actually pretty spot on with a lot of his comments about society. Another classic gangster movie by him.
"Elite" might be a bit strong, but "pretty damn good" certainly works considering that they ended up 7th in overall Defensive S&P+, 3rd in Passing S&P+, 3rd in Adjusted True Passing Yards per Attempt, 5th in Adjusted Passer Efficiency Allowed and 5th in Sacks Per Pass Attempt, all while dragging around the corpse of the 2014 Longhorn offense.

Don't let them troll you Ketch! You don't have to justify your soccer knowledge. You know more than 98% of the people reading and half of us just gloss over the soccer stuff anyway.
If anything, I'd dumb down your soccer takes for this column and play to masses. See if you can get a few more of us on board with watching the sport. Personally, I know I'm not the only one who doesn't understand all the different leagues and whatnot. Maybe do a separate, in depth soccer column for the real enthusiasts.
As for the "Dirst" post, I'm all for freedom of speech, but the picture doesn't lend itself to any healthy discussion, or further any worthwhile cause. It's just disturbing and most certainly must violate some sort of TOS agreement. If someone posted a beheading pic you'd have taken that down by now. How is this different?
a. I'm not sure that step has been decided. still at the walking stage.
b. I think Scarface has aged well over time.
The first post following your OP. The avatar and sig of the poster has a photo of a lynching. Presumably in the South. It's atrocious and completely unacceptable for this forum.
The poster's handle is @Prosperity
Which is good because it wasn't exactly considered a major hit nor did it achieve critical acclaim up on its release.
I'm pulling for Sheroid Evans for sentimental reasons and it sounds like he has looked good in early practices.
Is it male blasphemy to admit that I've never watched Scarface?
Just go ahead and turn in your man card. You can request return of it from the Mods following an insightful football post and/or posts referencing hot cheerleaders.
They also finished 23rd in the country in 3rd down defense at 35%. An impressive stat in itself, but when you take into account they were on the field for 211 3rd downs (111th in the country) due to the albatross of an offense that kept them cemented on the field, it really puts into perspective just how impressive of feat that really is.
At the end of the day though, Ketch is right the defense needs to show great improvement. I'm of the opinion they will.
stout, at least until they tired against the run in the 2nd half from being on the field all day and they saw the TCU aerial blitz. Definitely top two in the Big 12 regardless of what the stats said.
2013 -- team can't tackle worth a damn.
2014 -- basically the same guys, and they tackle GREAT! (I thought we were all set on defense with Charlie and Bedford)
2015 -- back to crappy tackling. I hope it is just all the young players, and I hope we tackle as well in 2016 as 2014. If so, we might surprise this year.
