New Orleans Food and Drink Thread
In part because I'm a bit superstitious, we're retracing our 2019 Sugar Bowl steps (which worked out pretty damn well) and having a big lunch at Peche on New Year's Day...can't wait. There were tons on Texas fans eating/drinking there in 2019 and it was fun as hell. As you may recall, that was a prelude to mudholing UGA...yes, mudholing, since the score was not indicative of our dominance. Planning to hit Casamento's, Saba and maybe Turkey & the Wolf at some point. Looks like Toups Meatery or Costera (anyone been there?) on NYE. Also, will have to get at least one drink at Bouligny Tavern (one of my favorite bars in the city) on NYE, since that was a key stop in 2019 as well. I still can't believe this all fell into place so perfectly, because I was starting to truly believe we just can't have nice things. FAAFO!

Jonathon Brooks is a Bad Mother Fucker
This shit deal with Brooks really put a damper on the win...even moreso than yet another solid choke attempt. The guy has been a total stud and hated to see him get hurt like that. Fuck. Gonna need CJ to step up big time.

Okay, went to Ezov on Fri and both food & service were very good. We went pretty early and it wasn't packed when we ordered, so that might've helped. Would definitely go back.

Game Day Experience 2023
Yep, getting into the stadium was significantly worse this year. It was mayhem...not nearly enough scanners, people climbing walls, etc. They gotta fix this somehow. Getting into the fair was another story. Usually it takes a while too, but this year they were just waving everyone in and there was zero checking of tickets where we entered. One nice part was no policing of drinks either, so waltzed right in with a cocktail. As for post-game at the fair, one good addition (or, I'd just never noticed before) was the unmanned coupon kiosks. Heard some say they weren't all working right, but I had no trouble and it damn sure beat waiting in the normal coupon hut lines.

tOSU at ND
I've rooted against ND since I was a kid, but found myself actively pulling for them last night. Ohio St. is the worst, as anyone who went to Columbus in 2005 can attest. Plus, Ryan Day seems like he might be a total piece of shit.

Game Day Experience 2023
Back in the day, after a 3rd down stop by the defense, the band would play an Eyes snippet and, as they ran off the field, the defense would get a big ovation from the crowd. I'm pretty sure this still happens in Dallas, but it absolutely didn't at the Wyoming game. I tried to do it and no one else did...not even the other olds on the west side. Not sure if it's because of the endless sound barrage we're beating to death here or not, but quite possibly. Regardless, I miss it and enjoyed acknowledging the D.

Interesting that there is very little, if any, love for L'Oca d'Oro here. It's our go-to and consistently great.

Game Day Experience 2023
Yep, noticed that as well.

Game Day Experience 2023
I agree with many of these complaints. That said, over the last couple of years, the student sections have been the best I can recall in a very long time, if not the best ever. From our seats, we have a great view of them and they have been bringing it big time. They are loud/engaged and watching them go berserk is fun. Also, putting the recruits in the southwest corner (as opposed to lower east side), where they can see the students, was a great move. Keep it up derelicts.

Concerts you are attending
It was a bad ass setlist and thought they sounded really good, even Eddie with the flu was excellent. McCready went crazy too. Had not been to Dickies, but thought it was very nice/solid venue as well.
