    i don't know which loc is the original but we did find the La Loma downtown back before the holidays and it immediately jumped to the front of the line as far as Mexican food here goes! the homemade tortillas were a major score (sooo good!), the tortilla soup tastes very similar to Baby As in its prime, the crispy tacos and fajitas are absolutely fantastic. it's a bit pricey but most things here are. sadly...still no texmex enchiladas to be had 😒, but the margaritas are loaded so all in all we're pretty happy to have found it! 😁

    i think we tried Yazoo's a while back and once again it was OK, not great, and not what we were craving. that's where i actually asked them if they could slice my brisket instead of chop it (seriously, that's what they do here, take beautiful slices of brisket and go ginsu on it, so strange!) and the guy looked panicked and actually said 'i don't think we have a knife big enough to do that', which...wut. lol. 🙄

    anyways, i've added Post Oak to our list to try... we'll keep testing 😄

    La Loma was over in LoHi - close to 26th and Speer. 
     

    And yes brisket is chopped here. It is dumb.

    I'm in Denver. I work with guys that have bought Post Oak for big group lunches. The guys from Texas, or that have lived in Texas, loved it. The natives generally hated it. Fucking weirdos. You're right about the complete lack of Tex Mex. Green chili sucks. 

    Seafood, Mexican food, and BBQ is a tough ask in Denver. Everything else can be had. 
     

    The best sushi place I’ve found is in Littleton. 
     

    Brewery Bar II is a good hole in the wall for Tex Mex. La Loma was good at the original location but seems to have lost a step after it moved. 
     

    Yazoo’s is the best BBQ I’ve had in the city.

  3. Scheffler makes it look so easy. Dude is never in trouble and his sand game (see the two holes on the back) is ridiculous. 
     

    All he needs to do is putt average and he’ll win 5 more times this year.

    Our history as a No. 7 seed isn't great regardless.

     

    99-00?  Rick Barnes. 
     

    08-09?  Rich Barnes. 
     

    13-24?  Richard Barnes. 
     

    Also that is playing to your seed two out of three times so I’m not sure what the point is. 

  5. Drawn with Matt Painter and Rich Barnes, two annual March choke artists?  Way better than getting put on the 8/9 line in UConn’s region. 
     

    CSU started out the year red hot but they’ve generally played like shit outside of Fort Collins. They also don’t shoot it that great from three and, probably the best news, they don’t fucking rebound. I don’t think they have a great answer for Disu.

    For those of you Dark Tower fans, who is a realistic option today (I.e., 1970’s Eastwood isn’t an option) to cast as Roland in the Flanagan Amazon adaptation?

     

    I think Viggo could do it.

    They seemed to have a lot of long teams  back then.   Gerry McNamara was annoying that night

    We shot 43 percent from the field and 48 percent from 3 (13 makes) which against that team was pretty awesome. Ivey had a bad game and Mouton was inefficient but Ford pretty much did what we needed to do to break down the zone (13 assists). 
     

    Problem was Cuse shot 58 percent from the floor and that Texas team could defend across everything and it didn’t matter. Melo destroyed us and that was that.

    we got our asses kicked by a crappy ttu team in round 1 of the 2003 league tourney, and had we not run in to that freak of nature Melo i’m certain we still could have won the whole thing. i’ve always viewed it as a nice momentum thing if you win it, but i’ve never cared too much about losing early either. a shitty performance will irk me on the day, but losing early mostly just lets me breathe a sigh of relief that we weren’t going to lose a disu or an abmas to injury in what is a mostly meaningless game/series of games.

    That Melo game in the semis was ridic. Of course it had to happen to us.
