  1. 6th street used to have a diversity of bars, clubs, music venues, restaurants, and entertainment options. Now it's just clubs for college kids. The "recently graduated" moved to west 6th. The music venues all went to red river or the east side. Can't really think of any restaurants. The only places that can survive down there are bars that sell high-volume drinks to people in their early 20s who are down there getting blasted. The homeless shelter's proximity to dirty 6th doesn't help. A buddy of mine ran a music venue off Red River and had to bail because people were shooting up in the alley, shitting behind their club, passing out behind the club, etc. Chronicle just did a story on Dirty 6th. https://www.austinchronicle.com/news/2022-06-17/can-dirty-sixth-be-cleaned-up/
  2. "Really great interview" and "FCB" do not belong in the same sentence.
  3. Is he related to a borderline 5-star cornerback?
  4. Don’t tell me to relax. This shit show is your fault you fucking weirdo
  5. Jeeesus fuck. I’m on vacation in Mexico. Check in to confirm we got a dude we thought we were gonna get. And then…… this?
  6. Ray Pickering is the flava flav of Texas football. He’s a hype man. Nothing he says means anything.
  7. This is what happens when we go a whole day without a commitment.
  8. Holy fuck man. Relax. The question was asked "does Arch end up being ranked as a perfect recruit" and I gave my opinion that ultimately I think he'll be dinged a tiny bit. I still think he'll be the #1 overall recruit in the class, but he won't be "perfect" like VY, Rashan Gary, Clowney, etc. There have only been 5 "perfect" recruits in history. Multiple articles have been published this week questioning if he might be overrated. I don't give a fuck about any of that. I don't give a shit about camps. I don't give a shit about elite 11. I don't give a shit about the competition he plays against. But it's enough to instill just a little bit of doubt for the ranking services to consider dinging him a bit. You taking offense to my opinion on where he'll ultimately end up being ranked is an aggie-level overreaction.
  9. I bet they ding him. He plays against dogshit competition, doesn't do camps, didn't participate in the Elite 11, etc. No one has seen him line up against other elite players. Too many questions to give him the perfect ranking. Still happy as shit to have him.
  10. Are we gonna go a whole fucking day without a blue-chip commitment? What is this bullshit?
  11. Dude really just googled "brunch hours". smh
  12. That's certainly ideal. But any list including Hicks, at this point, is not realistic.
  13. Checking in on this thread and it's ATexanAbroad and Futureman discussing which prospects constitute "real" recruiting momentum.
  14. Yeah. But it's at the same intersection as a Dan's and a Whataburger. Ain't nobody eating at A&W when you've got Dan's across the street.
  15. Haven't seen the new episode but I guess that I was wrong! Interdersting!
  16. In class? Yes. At the grocery store on discontinued products from an obscure brand? No. Because that's something only a psychopath does.
  17. Well, we booked a beach resort with two other families at Playa Paraiso right near Tulum for July 2 - 7. Bummed to find out about the seaweed situation. Also looks like it might rain most of the time we're there. So looking for other shit to do while we're there. My wife wanted to "just book it" and use a travel agent and of course the agency is suggesting cenote trips that cost $100 a person. I'm not dropping $400 to go swimming. Fuck that. Does anyone have a recommendation on cenotes? Any ones that are better than others close to Tulum? Ones that won't be completely jammed up with people, or that are somewhat easy to get to by taxi?
  18. I fucking loved the first two episodes. FX puts out so many great shows, even if Atlanta kinda stumbled this year. I don't think Alia Shawkat is his daughter. Their voices are different. I think they're obviously pushing the narrative that he might be crazy and having imaginary conversations with his dead daughter. FBI said his daughter killed herself back in 2003, which would have been way before he went crazy. He would have had nearly 20 years to reconcile that. I'm guessing the suicide was Dan Chase and family covering their tracks for this eventuality. No point in finding and leveraging someone that's already dead. Interested to see where they go with this. One other interesting note - there isn't an actress credited to an "Emily Chase" on imdb or anywhere else on the internet, although that could be intentional to further the narrative
  19. WhatTheBuck, indeed...
  20. It's one mile from the JW Marriott. It's .4 miles to Iron Works from the Marriott. As I said in my original response, whether or not you feel that's walkable is up to your own tolerance for walking when it's 100+. I'm just making suggestions about not-shitty bbq in the area. Walk to Terry Blacks or or walk to Iron Works or take a Lyft. I don't give a fuck. What he should be doing is taking a lyft up to the Chili's at 38th and Lamar. Everyone knows that's the best restaurant in Austin.
  21. No doubt it's better. But Terry Black's is serviceable and walkable. And when I'm on work trips I typically want something close and easy that doesn't suck.
  22. Austin is Whitey McWhiteyville. He's just fucking with you because you're an aggie and a lot of y'all don't like the browns. There's no good bbq in downtown Austin. Closest you'll get is Terry Black's, which is much closer than L&L. Walkable or not depending on your tolerance for a one mile walk when it's a hundred-and-fuck-you outside.
  23. Hell is a grocery store reorganizing where everything is. Happened at my store on William Cannon and Brodie a few years back and it took me probably 4 months to learn where all of my shit was now located.
