  1. I did as well. Beer was cold though stacked on the floor by an end cap. Targety style I guess.
  2. So maybe Tulsa beats us by 20. Too soon?
  3. Voted no, but to be fair there isn't another coach that would come here and win a Natty. Texas doesn't operate the same way as Alabama, Ohio State etc. and I am good with that. That said we shouldn't be getting beat down by the teams that we have for the last 10 years though. Jesus, we should be able to get to 8-9 wins a year on a semi consistence basis, go to a decent bowl and have our players not be an embarrassment. I for one could live with this.
  4. This. Volleyball or Swimming/Diving is what Texas can crow about, and it's been that way for a long fucking time. I still am holding out hope for Pierce and the Baseball Team though.
  5. Just a little catty exchange before the Lu Ann Plater at 5:00?
  6. Texas 27 Terps 21
  7. Maybe $12 is the new $9 ?
  8. Picked up some of this tonight while doing a HEB run. First of their beers I've tried. Close to $12.00 a six pack but pretty damn tasty.
  9. Only went there a couple of times, heard that on occasion the painting above the bar would drop down and a piano player started playing. Never saw it, but the crowd I ran with those days dabbled in everything short of black tar heroin so maybe my memory is clouded.
  10. No take backs, ever. k
  11. So with the rest of the world hammering the dog shit out of Urb and tOSU for their debacle, is aggy gonna slither away from the spotlight for their little coaches paying players/ running from scheduling Texas episodes? Caught the KEYE sports last night and Bob Ballou threw a couple of jabs at them. Que the KEYE boycott patrol.
  12. Are there any of the Steak n Egg places left? There were a few around DFW at one point. Not sure if the they were a regional or national chain. Food was meh, but open 24/7 so an option for drunken dinning.
  13. Didn't see Leslie's Chicken Shack mentioned. We would stop there on all trips from Ft. Worth heading to the coast or any where in south Texas. I thought it was great as a kid, hell even until they went of business. I know they had a few other locations but only ate at the one in Waco. How I did the locals not support that place? Oh, and I'm not a fan of gizzards but damn my Mom loved theirs. Insert your mom/gizzard joke here cause I know you want to.
  14. I'm in, but PayPal you a fickle bitch !
  15. Yeah, it was the Double Mama that I had, went through that pretty quick and have been buying the mix & match sixers for the past couple of weeks. I am not able to distinguish between a majority of the local IPA's that I tried lately(could be my hop scorched taste buds)but still looking for something that really stands out. A blind tasting might be in order to see which beers I actually prefer. Also, I get beer envy looking at all the post from the west coast brew pubs. I want a Belching Beaver too dammit!
  16. Can't vouch for the quality as it's been a couple of years since I had one, but Full Sail Brewery in Oregon makes a few session beers. Check their website.
  17. Just imagine ordering through a glory hole, then try and guess what type of sea creature was used to make your order. I'm thinking gafftop.
  18. My 15 year old and her friends love going to Torchy's, mostly for the fried avocado & totm. I can take or leave it, but their newer place on Hwy.290 has a bar so I can set there and drink with an order of chips & queso while the girls cackle. Sometimes this place is too damn crowded though, was met outside(line was out the door) by an employee once that told me wait time for your order was 45 minutes. Umm, no thank you.
  19. Went to the new Specs in Belterra Village on Hwy.290 today. Smaller than the 290 & Mopac store so the beer selection was just ok, picked up a few cans of stuff I haven't tried yet. Wasn't looking for liquor but the shelves seemed to be adequately stocked, no sales people dogged me and there were only two other people in the store so I was in and out pretty quick. Prefer Total Wine when I'm near the Brodie store and Twins when they run their sales.
  20. Tried my first beer from Brazos Valley, Momma Tried Double IPA and it was better than I was anticipating. Would buy again. Also picked up some Bear Republic Racer 5 IPA, liked it as well but it was $3.00 or so more per sixer than the Momma Tried DIPA so advantage aggy?
  21. The Boat N Net chain in Corpus says hello, give that a try and you'll be begging for some Long Johns.
  22. McAdoo Seafood, it's in the old Post Office building a block or so off of the traffic circle. Only have been once for Sunday Brunch, shrimp and grits was damn good. They had a build your own bloody mary bar with a good selection of olives etc. to toss in your drink along with a few types of spicy tomato juices. The building is pretty cool with a nice patio but it will be hot as hell this time of year out there. Been to the Huisache Grill on San Antonio St. a few times and it has always been consistently good, can get crowded at peak times so may need to make reservations. Have not been to any of the brew pubs that have opened around the traffic circle and a couple of blocks off the main drag so that will be next for me . Someone with knowledge of those can weigh in on them.
