Very few Juniors are 18... but his Mom could have been if she was held back.

It doesn't state she was an 18 year old junior - it's entirely possible she got pregnant as a junior, later turned 18, and had him as an 18 year old senior.

Not defending him, but that's not really much to take issue with.

I an totally understand Ketch posting this stuff. I think he likely feels very attached to his followers. In many ways, feeling close to his followers may be a substitute for not being attached to his father. Most people want to share personal things with the people they feel closest to. For Ketch, it might well be his followers.

Maybe he isn't that close to many people in his real life circle. When you come down to it, a bucket of chicken wings doesn't give you the emotional feedback that a person does, even if it's an anonymous internet poster.

Literally Geoff Ketchum

Godfrey Sr. is the father of the suspected bio-dad. He was a WWII vet and sounded like a badass. Not sure where he went wrong with his offspring.

That is really some messed up sh** if true......and I don't mean to sound completely cold here, but given Ketch's proclivity for, um, "storytelling"......can anyone besides him confirm this is true?

Well, bringing this to the light of day has two outcomes:

1. Ketch's deadbeat dad gets what's been coming for 40 years.

2. Ketch is proven a liar and ruined.

I can't see a downside...

Ketch does a lot of stupid sh*t that constitutes a good ribbing, but not sure this is one of them.

A F*g men.

I actually have to give credit to someone that works that hard at his familial relationships. The fact that he was not included for the funeral... I would have cut off all contact with that family and never looked back.


Frankly my heart and prayers go out to him. I don't think I would have told everyone that but now that it's out there this guy is definitely in my prayers. That is some hurt that will take a long while to heal.

If your only fault is being the child of an a-hole, why is it that everyone hates him? Ketch needs to spill some more feelings and share why his biological Father, Grandfather, and everyone else at the funeral dislikes him.

There is more he is not telling.

Is it any surprise that a Baylor grad is this much of a vaginal blood fart?

Doubt it. Sounds like an uppity family that sees Ketch as an inconvenience. You think his dad wants his uber rich buddies in Cali knowing he's got a bassturd son from his college days when he knocked up a high school junior? You think his half sisters want to explain that to their friends? They're embarrassed by his mere existence because it doesn't fit their idyllic high society life.

Okay who was surprised when he claimed his bio dad was wildly successful? Nobody as great as ketch could come from an average dead beat dad. Of course not

This story is as believable as ketch's rankings.

And I think I heard Jimi Hendrix shift in his grave trying to distance himself from Ketch.

While I used to spend weekends with his parents when I was a child, he just never had an interest in really having a relationship with me. Obviously.

That impression changed in July when my grandfather, who I had spent the last few years redeveloping a relationship with, died in Lakeway about 15 minutes from my house in Cedar Park. Even though my dad had apparently been in town for almost two weeks, he never called me. No one did. Feeling that my grandfather would have wanted me at the funeral, but knowing that every person at the funeral wouldn't have wanted me there, my wife and I sat in our car for nearly two hours on the day of his funeral at his grave-site until everyone left so that we could pay our respects.

---

So he weekends with his paternal grandparents as a kid, but he needed to rebuild a relationship with his grandfather the last few years, and everyone else in the family hates him? Yeah, there is definitely more to the story.

It's pretty damned hot to be sitting in your car for two hours in July. Why wouldn't you just go somewhere and come back later? Also, sitting in your car at a cemetery is a creepy look that will get you noticed.

I used to spend a lot of time with my grandparents as a kid. As I got older and into school, I spent a lot less, which I now kind of regret. If Ketch's mom wasn't close with them, I could see that relationship fading away once he got out of the toddler/little kid stage and into the preteen/high school/college age.

As I've gotten older, and especially once I became a parent, I've begun to value time with my remaining grandparent much more. I think this is probably a natural occurrence as we mature and start to appreciate mortality. We see that we only have so much time left with certain people and that placing an importance on other things has been a missed opportunity with some of them.

Personally, I wish I'd have spent more time with my grandfather before he passed several years ago. It was unexpected, even though he was getting on in years. I even don't mind spending more time with my wife's family. I know her grandparents don't have forever, and they enjoy spending time with my daughter. I also want her to be able to remember them. I think being a (not ****ty) parent gives you a certain perspective and appreciation for family and the time you spend with them. It wouldn't surprise me if Ketch felt the same and just wanted his twins to know who their family was and wanted his grandparents to know their great-grandchildren.

I also used to spend a lot of time with my grandmother on my dad's side. When my parents got divorced, I hardly saw her anymore. I barely knew her when she passed away, but I remember spending weekends at her house and listening to get play piano and playing cards games with her. I even spent a lot of time with and was close with some cousins on that side that I haven't seen or spoken to in 20 years. I was even at A&M with one and never saw her. I don't think there's anything suspicious or irregular about losing touch like he says he did.

The fatherlessness epidemic is no joke. If we don't do something about it, we'll end up with a nation full of Fat Ketches.

Explains his deep hatred for Baylor.

Ok, which one of you mother f***ers here is Ketch's father?

I know I'm evil but I busted out laughing when I read that part. You gotta really hate someone to basically say "I wish you were dead then and I wish you were dead now."

As much as I hate all things tu, I feel bad for Ketch and the OB community on this one. Not only because of his non-relationship with his dad but also they had a long time member commit suicide over the weekend. A veteran, in fact an Army Ranger.

So someone on this planet is a bigger asswipe than Ketch. It just happens to be his dad.... who went to baylor.

Ruh roh! Looks like the Army Ranger suicide on Orangebloods was a hoax and someone made off with the 30k from Go Fund Me.
