  1. Never went to the new location because I'm not driving down to Buda. But I heard it was a disaster. The wait times after ordering at the trailer were always ridiculous. The wait times when ordering online for pickup were even more absurd. I waited an hour and a half after the time they said it would be ready once. The food was amazing and they seem like great people, but they've ALWAYS struggled to be efficient with respect to their service. 

    Then they moved into a 6000 square foot building and I knew they were going to fail. Heard absolutely terrible things about the experience at the new location, much of which has already been documented - absurdly long wait times, poor quality food, and the most common complaint I heard is that they just blasted the music so loud that people couldn't even have a conversation at the same table without yelling. That's an easy fix guys.

  2. Bust:

    Dallas Turner - He'll be a 6 to 8 sacks with 6 devastating roughing the passer penalties per year guy

    JJ - For all the reasons listed above

    Guyton - Because fuck OU. Unless he goes to the Cowboys and then he'll be awesome, right?

    Bo Nix - That dude sucked for like 5 years and then in his 6th year he puts up a bunch of empty stats. He's gonna suck

     

    Wilcard

    Caleb Williams - His personality and ego are concerning, but he's a fucking amazing player.  

    Jayden Daniels - He's either going to be awesome or he's gonna get absolutely fucking destroyed physically. Dude takes BIG hits, and it will be worse in the NFL

    Amarius Mims - He's got all the tools but he's got very little experience. Not a lot to project, but could be awesome.

    Drake Maye - Can he improve his decision making and accuracy and be another Josh Allen? Josh Allen's the anomaly. He's got the arm. I guess we'll see.

     

    Boom

    Penix - love this dude. I know he's old but he's the same age as Nix and is a much better QB who did more. Don't understand mock drafts that have Nix above him.

    Cooper DeJean - I'm just rooting for a white corner to be successful.

    Chop Robinson - Loved the few times I saw this dude play. I think he's gonna be good.

    Then there are obvious guys like Bowers and Alt and Harrison Jr that I think most people agree are going to be fucking awesome and don't feel the need to reiterate.

    Looks pretty good. Kind of like a fresh tex-mex, ZuZu vibe?

    Yeah. It was suggested by my wife based on a recommendation from her friend. They fucking love overpriced mom brunch places like El Alma, so I was skeptical. But the food was good and the cheese enchiladas held up, IMO. And pricing seemed fair - $15 for cheese enchiladas is the same price at Casa Garcias, and $1.50 more than Maudie's. 

  4. South Lamar location has been serviceable. I don't have super high expectations for Maudie's anymore. 

    We tried Cruzteca out in Sunset Valley about a month ago and I was pleasantly surprised. Cheese enchiladas were good. Drinks were good. I'll go back.

    Barbie is a great movie and if it would of explored more of Ken’s pursuit of identity / the question of what truly is modern masculinity (vs him just trying to just replicate ‘the patriarchy’) it would have been the best movie of 2023. They do kind of touch on it but it’s fleeting.

    There's your sequel.

  6. That sucks. I really liked that bar. Pizza was fine but I never went there to eat. 

    That being said, buying that building for $3m after sinking $200k just to cover day-to-day operations at a struggling dive bar doesn't seem like a prudent investment. And asking the general public to cover part of your $600k down payment is an interesting strategy. The people that are going to contribute to that are regulars. And regulars already spend all of their disposable income at your bar. But good luck!

    Taco Deli was really good originally.  They've changed the menu considerably and tossed a lot of my favorites, probably right around COVID when so many other things changed as well.  The puerco borracho was fantastic, would love to see it back on the menu but alas.  

     

    I used to love it. But the last three times we've gone it's been total ass. My wife was a die-hard fan, but even she's out on it now. Maybe it's just the Slaughter location, which is closest to us.

    Still not sure why they don't bottle and sell the dona sauce. I'd buy that shit by the gallon, although I prefer the green sauce from El Pollo Rico. 

  8. Scrolled back a few pages and didn't see mention of this, but I grabbed tickets to see the Drive By Truckers playing Southern Rock Opera at ACL Live. Pretty stoked for this one.

    They called him "the Poly Whisperer" as far back as when he was at USC. It's a stupid nickname and not nearly as cool as Johnny Patron but he has historically killed it in that demo. Yes, I absolutely 100% expect Texas to see a major uptick in Polynesian recruiting.

    Look at these names:

    That's a lot of fucking vowels.

    Park Gothic is correct on the matter. Davis was offered an opportunity to return to a place he enjoyed for a lot of money in order to coach his son while hanging out with two of his best friends on the coaching staff. The guy has a ranch in Mississippi that he wants to be permanently living on within the next five years. LSU is his final job barring something insane and he took the chance to jump on it when they cleared the way for his kid. He didn't leave Texas due to any bad blood or problems with the program.
    Helicopter parents have been a part of the job in coaching since at least the days of Norman Dale, and probably further back than that. That said, it's not every player and it doesn't help those players with parents behaving as such. The bigger issue is when the player is bitching about shit that is just part of the grind and the parent is then whining about their baby's treatment. That gets really old. 

    My original post was in jest more than anything else, but I forgot this place is filled will humorless aspies who fixate only on stats and facts...and can't abide any speculation. Btw, I already acknowledged the fact I don't think helicopter parents made the difference in his leaving, but could have made the decision easier if said parents and player are above and beyond the usual delusion. I know coaches have to say all sorts of things to land a commit, and sometimes backing up the living room talk just isn't possible...but some parents (and/or player) will never get that through their skull and would rather trash the coach (or coaches) and school. I will say this: if Bo gets his kid drafted then he is more of a DL witch than I ever realized.

    Wait. You were joking? You thought the shit you were typing was funny? 

    Also, you don't need to respond to every single person calling you an idiot. And if a ton of people are calling you a boring dolt, maybe shut the fuck up. You don't need to respond to every single person calling you out, Derka.

  11. I made this fermented mango habanero hot sauce a few weeks ago. It’s fucking awesome. Tropical heat. It’s one jumbo mango, a Mediterranean orange pepper I got at central market, 13 habaneros, a large carrot, and a 2 inch piece of ginger. Fermented for two weeks. Blended with about 15 cloves of confit garlic. Added some of the fermenting brine and some of the garlic oil so that it emulsifies. Strained and bottled.
