  1. $650-1700 was the price range given by the athletic dept when requesting seats.
  2. How many does the school get allotted for season ticket holders? I put in my request but not super hopeful… you’d think it would at least be a bigger number than what they got for the Big12 champ game
  3. Better yet just take Hwy 90 through Lafayette and avoid BR all together. GPS will tell you it adds a little time but you will make up for it not having to fuck with BR/Atchafalaya bridge traffic and police.
  4. Sounds like the first week of Charlie Strong. He even has his own version of “The Pit”.
  5. My only conclusion after having a small batch to taste test, is don’t be afraid to add plenty of salt in the “salt and pepper to taste” step. Caveat being that my in-laws only had table salt which I’m always afraid to add too much of, but a couple of cranks on top of my test batch proved useful. I’m going to add a handful of cranks of sea salt tomorrow before mixing again and rebaking, but it definitely needed some.
  6. Tamale dressing ready to go for my South Louisiana in-laws tomorrow. All I can think about when adding the tamales to the rest of the mixture
  7. Maalik played a great first half. I think a lot of things spiraled once we got that no call PI on worthy. He was nails for most of the first quarter… struggled some in the second half, a lot of which was his own doing, but he was not terrible today for a backup qb. We did win against a top 25 team (and yeah, the defense gets most of the credit, I know). What are y’all really bitching about
  8. I found through search that it’s been mentioned in the past, but on our last visit to NO the wife and I had breakfast at Elizabeth’s. Holy shit that was one of my favorite New Orleans meals I’ve had. For a pretty unassuming place, we could not have been happier with our meal. Praline bacon was great, huge Bloody Mary, crawfish etouffe over crab cakes Benedict, and eggs florentine with fried oysters on top made for a perfect base to start a New Orleans day. A little out of the way but would highly recommend.
  9. That’s right up my alley. Have a recipe?
  10. Imagine being 22 and trying to teach some of these people how to cook a dish with fresh ingredients when everything else is fried or cooked from frozen… that was the 2 most miserable years of any job I’ve ever had
  11. While I think I’d be pretty good at the ownership/management of a restaurant , my parents always told my brother and me to never get in the restaurant business and I appreciate them for that. My dad was the chef and my mom ran the front of house/books for all those years so that was fortuitous for them, but even if you are a chef/owner (and a good chef, cook, whatever at that), there are just way too many variables to stake your livelihood in that business, imo. On a related note, if sunbird can manage quality, which I think they should be able to, I bet Longview will welcome that level of bbq with open arms now that they’re in town. That place was a good wasteland when I lived there for s few years.
  12. I grew up in a restaurant that my parents ran for 43 years before retiring last December. Worked almost every job in that place as a child through adulthood… washed dishes, bussed tables, waited tables, almost every role in the kitchen… I say all that to say on a certain level I know what’s involved and how fucking hard it is to run a restaurant, much less a successful one. I worked at Sysco East Texas for a couple years after college to pay for going back for more school, and the amount of customers I had that had no fucking clue what they were doing and wouldn’t listen to some fresh faced college kid was probably 50%+. Not every fucking idiot that can cook a good burger or good bbq needs to open a restaurant, especially the small family business variety that is most bbq. That shit is hard as hell to be successful in.
  13. I can’t bring myself to even listen to anything he has to say, so I’m unsure if the content. My opinion is just that he’s a pompous, self-aggrandizing douchebag. Doesn’t surprise at all that he “gifted” them all his book lol
  14. What an insufferable douchebag
  15. Egg, canadian bacon, american cheese sammy. Probably my favorite simple breakfast - reminds me of my dad taking my brother and me to school in the mornings when we were younger. We would stop at sonic for breakfast once a week for ham/egg/cheese toasters. The tastes and smells put me right back in his jeep in 8th grade.
  16. Recipe, por favor? I love shrimp creole, but have never found a recipe that turns out better than just pretty good. That looks great.
  17. yeah I was two rows up from that dude and he tried to talk shit to me at one point and I just told him to look at the scoreboard. I hope he took the worst of whatever happened. Was it an older guy that threw punches, or the big group of Hispanic longhorns right behind him? Old guy a few rows up offered my cousins 5 year old son $20 to punch him 😂
  18. Doing whatever it takes to be in contention for a conference championship and playoffs?
  19. Yeah… told several UH fans I appreciated that their game experience wasn’t over produced to hell, except the annoying stadium dj guy but that was pretty negligible.
  20. LOL I was there early before we moved at half time. Was the UH guy the one in the white shirt talking MAD shit? That was mostly a UT crowd and I overheard lots of people saying they were going to hit that dude in the face. Like row 6 seat 25 or so?
  21. And Mack beat stoops, stoops beat Mack, Herman beat Riley… shit we shut them out last year. What’s your point?
  22. Anyway, anyone want to see some shit you’d never see in DKR? Couple girls in front of us were ripping blunts and rather than clapping/yelling for big downs, took to twerking. IMG_3430.mov IMG_0996.mov
  23. My wife pulled out a new toy for our 2 year old this morning and I can’t help but laugh at this shit. This was only a small part of it (the beef Franks had legit wrapping/label too) but the indoctrination is strong with HEB and I’m here for it. We just so happen to have several of these items in our fridge/pantry
