  1. I'm digging it so far. Liking the callbacks to season 1. Interested to see how Rust Cohle's ghost dad plays into this. The Tuttle connection could be interesting. I'm not hating any of the characters too much. Jodi Foster has been great. I'm excited. It's been much better than the first few episodes of the last two seasons.

    My kid's school drop off line was a clusterfuck this morning. 

    Multiple parents physically getting out of the car to walk their precious cargo 10 feet to the safety of the awning when you're not supposed to get out of the car. Jamming up the line for everyone else whose kids know they're not going to melt walking in 10 feet of light rain. I swear to god....

    Interesting that there is very little, if any, love for L'Oca d'Oro here. 

    It's our go-to and consistently great.

    Wife and I went there last night for the first time for our anniversary. We splurged because anniversary - got the olives, fresh mozz, and kale salad apps. For entrees we got the Tortelli all’Arrabbiata and the carbonara. Add in a tiramisu, three glasses of wine, an old fashioned, and two espressos. 

    We were both pretty underwhelmed. Everything was "pretty good" but nothing blew me away, and for what we paid, I expected at least something to be memorable. Carbonara was good but not great. Tortelli Arrabbiata was very spicy to the point that it overpowered all other flavors. Tortellis had almost no filling, but even if they had more filling, doubt you would have tasted anything because the spice was so overpowering. Service was good. They automatically apply a 20% charge to help pay for health care and give their staff a living wage. Which I am all in favor of. But they don't call it a tip, and say that you can add an additional gratuity on the top. So it's not clear how all that washes out, which was confusing, Don't think we'll go back. 

  4. It's all a crapshoot. Josh Allen went 8-6 and 8-5 his only two full seasons starting at Wyoming. His completion percentage was 56% both seasons. His TD/Pick was 28/15 and 16/6. He wasn't a "winner" and I thought he was gonna suck. But he's now a top-5 NFL QB. 

    I also thought Mahomes was gonna suck. It seems to be more about getting in the right situation with the right coaches, and the right supporting cast as much as talent and "winning."

    Also, being a winner in college doesn't really seem to be much of an indicator for NFL success, even though that's why JJ McCarthy is being touted as a top-15 pick in this year's draft.

    Who fucking knows.

  5. Milano Cafe on SW Pkwy also fucking sucks in case anyone was wondering. 

    We went a few months ago based partially on some recommendations on this thread and we were very unimpressed. Nothing we ordered was very good.

    The absolute worst was that little pause right after "class" while the TRS-80 that was running TEX did whatever the fuck it was doing behind the scenes, "This class was.... (hold your breath, pray, cross fingers, make pagan sacrifice, etc.) ...not added. It was just a half a beat, but it seemed like 10 minutes, followed by me screaming every cuss word I could think of at the phone. Fuck you TEX and the PTSD this thread is causing me. 

    Yep. Hate Tex. Fuck you, Tex. More than a quarter century has passed and I still have ptsd from his fuckery.

  7. I see them in tiers:

    Tier 1: Ohio State (number 1 overall. they've got everything except market and even still, Columbus isn't a small town), Texas (resources, recruiting, national brand), USC (history and market), Georgia (recent dominance. they might be tier 2 for the next coach though)

    Tier 2: Michigan, Alabama

    Tier 3: LSU, Florida, OU

    Tier 4: Notre Dame

    Tier 5: A&M, Tennessee, Penn State, maybe Auburn?
