Houston's elite, but they're also having some crazy shit go their way. I suspect we're elite, and we've had some crazy shit go against us.
Like I said, I think these experiences will help us out come March. I'm in no way down on this ISU squad, but I could see Houston winning out. We only play each other once, and it's there. Right now I think it's our only remaining loss and the idea that we could go 17-3 and finish in second by several games isn't far fetched at all.
I fuckin’ love this team. We’re down a starter currently and it cost us WVU for sure, and unless the horseshoe falls out of Houston’s ass, it’s hard to see a Big 12 reg season title or 1 seed. But Momcilovic is back in February and fighting through his absence should make us that much in tougher in March.
It’s not my favorite song of all time, but I’ll die on the hill that it’s the best rock song of all time. For the record, my favorite song of all time is “Wild Horses”, but that’s a country song.
I thought the list was personal favorite top 10, not the ones you think objectively qualify.
Because my list would look a lot different if I was doing that.
Riff Raff - AC/DC
Marry Me - Drive-By Truckers
Little Mascara - The Replacements
Corduroy - Pearl Jam
Hey Hey What Can I Do? - Led Zeppelin
American Girl - Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers
Free Bird - Lynyrd Skynyrd
Night Train - Guns N' Roses
Gimme Shelter - Rolling Stones
Sequestered in Memphis - The Hold Steady
We were last in New Orleans in 2016 and people told us right away to hit Frenchman to get away from the Bourbon Street vibe, but it was definitely a huge ass party on Frenchman at that point. I preferred it to Bourbon Street for sure, but it wasn't exactly low key.
Oyster spots in Uptown or Garden District?
Google hunting gave me Cooter Brown's at the west end of St Charles. Looks like my kind of place, but I'm sure there's plenty of other places around town too.
Getting in Wednesday around 1. Ready to be childless and out of the cold (of course it's going to be unseasonably warm up here while we're gone) for a few days.
I don’t mind liver, but I won’t buy it. I just cook the ones that come from our hogs. Heart and tongue as well, but I actually enjoy those quite a bit.
I had a huge Chili Peppers phase. I still enjoy them, but rarely listen these days. I also completely understand the haters.
Saw them live 2-3 years ago and it was a fucking blast. BSSM is their peak, but I liked everything up through Stadium Arcadium. That album has shitty songs for sure, but Frusciante just drops his nuts all over it.
This would be my in-laws if it were up to my MIL. When her folks were still around, everything was bland except for the weird Norwegian shit my wife's grandpa liked.
Thankfully my FIL has a stunningly adventurous palate for a Boomer who's lived his entire life in a small northeast Iowa town, so we never have to eat bland there.
The Big 12 CCG was a real ass whipping. Trust me. I was there.
But I'm not going to argue much, as the cumulative rating validates my long time argument that there's more of a gap (on the field) between the Big 12 and ACC than the Big 10 and Big 12, and that (on the field) the Big 10 as a whole is closer to the Big 12 than the SEC.
Yeah, and I grew up in Ground 0 of that shit.
That's not to say that there aren't amazing Midwestern contributions to our national palate, but there's a lot of Depression era blandness that still clings on in places. Granted, my kitchen is not one of those places, but just a couple years ago the wife of one of our landlords cooked us a hot supper while we were harvesting around their house. As grateful as I was for my first hot meal in a month, it was good old macaroni/tomato juice/ground beef goulash with literally nothing else in it. She's a very sweet lady, but I don't think she'd even try mild salsa.
Cold pizza is sublime.
But room temperature pizza that has been sitting for about 4-5 hours is unde-fucking-feated. I'm talking about pizza that was delivered after 2AM, the people consuming it passed out well before they were anywhere close to done with it, and being an early riser regardless of the previous night's imbibement, come across said pizza between 6-7AM.
That looks amazing, and really similar to how we make beef stew.
I can't tell you how many times as a kid I'd be at a friend's house and we'd get served macaroni noodles in tomato juice with ground beef and it would be called "goulash".
