    Eastside wasn't terrible, but it didn't exactly blow my doors off. I'd rank it a notch below Truth, Pinkerton's, and Feges. More like J Bar M. That being said, it was a mobile pop up so that may have had something to with it. I'd happily eat there again, but I wouldn't wait in line for it (not that I waited in line for it this time, I didn't). If the other spots I mention are an 8 or 9, this place is probably a 6.5 or 7.
  2. Texadelphia just opened a new location here in Garden Oaks. I don't have much hope for it long term, but I need to try and go a few times before they shut down. Still, here's to hoping.
  3. It didn't work with Florida and Billy boy.
  4. The thing that stook out to me there was the percentage of attempts that they've taken down the field. Like they're not even trying. I'm sure that's some facet of how poorly their OL is performing, but I fully expect to see Lagway take a ton of deep shots this weekend, because they're fucking desperate, and they're getting that WR back. Billy would be stupid enough to save the deep ball for Texas after losing multiple games before Texas going vanilla. I'm not saying that's what happened here, but I am saying that he is that stupid.
  5. I'd call DeBoer. Or the guy at Washington, Fisch. As much as it would pain be to have someone named Jedd as the head coach of Texas, I'd get over it. Although I'm not sure he has the personality to coach a program like Texas. He might. I'd label Cignetti similar, considering his age and level of DGAF.
  6. I keep seeing this message spread around on this board in various spots, but I have yet to see any evidence that's what's happening. It's all very logical, but when a couple blue bloods come open, and are fucking desperate, lets see if they don't end up offering 15 million dollars a year to a commodity that isn't underwhelming to their fanbase. Particularly with about 3 sports agents holding every string for potential coaching candidates in their hands.
  7. You're right, he's just from Nashville. That being said, his ties to Lea are pretty strong, they played HS ball together.
  8. In related news, Strohking One Out should be what we call it whenever BO&W posts. Like an homage to like quality.
  9. Oh, I’m sorry, how could I have mistaken “thoughts a mess” and the below: listen, I’m sorry you can’t make your thoughts clear, and then get pissed at other people for not living in your fucking head, and then get pissed when someone asks for clarification. And then, god forbid someone disagrees with your take.
  10. lol. Hard not to laugh at someone who responds to this same post earlier, admits their post and thoughts were a mess, then with no further interaction from me wants to quote the same past and call me a dick. Totally stable behavior:
  11. You realize only one of the two names you've mentioned plays the same position as Stroh, right?
  12. if that motherfucker is "ahead of schedule" in development, then we might as well actually fire flood tomorrow, and I'm not a "fire flood" guy. 3 years to perpetually trip over your feet and wind up on your ass isn't "ahead of schedule," it's behind schedule. If this trend line continues he'll be playing year 4 in a wheelchair, Taylor Doyle style. By year 5 he'll have had his feet amputated because of diabetes. I don't think I've ever heard the phrase "use his athletic limitations to be effective" in regards to sports in my life. I don't think this is the same thing as a dude with a tiny dick getting really good at eating pussy. What's he going to do, master the art of tripping and landing on top an opposing DT? I think he's tried that, and it doesn't work. It doesn't work for anyone not named Finch starring in a Hollywood movie with late 80's Goldie Hawn, really.
  13. We we talking about football players on this thread? Because I didn't see this specified and your post directly talks about kids of Texas alums being sent to Arkansas? We're you talking about kids of former players? Because I must have missed that mass exodus. We're NOT Talking about a student's experience? Because this was YOUR post: About the only thing I can glean from last two posts is that not even you know what the fuck you're/we're talking about on this thread. It's like we're walking in a conversation that you're halfway through having with yourself.
  14. He's been in the program 3 years. What year, exactly, is it normal for an OL to grow into Not Horrible feet?
  15. Who are the powers that be in college football in this instance? Campbell was in line to be the college football czar, when this presidential administration was mulling over appointing one. I'm not sure what anyone can do to stop Tech from spending as much money as campbell is willing to spend at this point.
  16. I give a fuck about academics. And I care about academics for my kid when he's going to go to college. I can't speak to anyone else's thoughts and experiences as a parent, but it matters to me and mine. What a dumb statement. If you're definition of "top notch" is a college campus that isn't hideous and kids can get fucking laid, well, I guess we can just agree to have different standards.
  17. So who's paying you to show up regularly and debase yourself on surly with horrible takes? Simmons and Lea are both Vanderbilt alums, and have gotten some pretty decent investment in facilities. I'm not saying Lea won't leave for another job, but both have been pretty vocal about making Vanderbilt a regular football power. And they've been pretty successful so far in taking steps to that direction. I'm not sure Lea will leave for another program at this point, and certainly Simmons isn't going to follow him just because...Simmons is already extremely wealthy. I think these guys want their school to win at football.
  18. To reinforce your point, I swear that I’d heard an announcer yesterday say bama had won 10 of the last 11 against GA. It seemed insane, so I looked it up. Other than the win in the national title game, GA hasn’t beat bama since 2007.
  19. You go to Matt’s on a weekend night because it’s just dripping with hot ass. Foods fine, whatever. The scenery is elite. What in life actually gives you joy?
  20. What an obvious knock off of “what starts here changed the world.” Rent free, as always.
  21. You’ll miss lots of nuance, but sure. I’d watch the last 4-5 episodes of season 5. You need to see Ashoka leave the Jedi order.
  22. View on Instagram.
  23. Nah, nothing specific. I don't have any joint pain, yet. I just have heard that IV peptides are basically the new version of HGH. Curious what other stuff folks are taking just to feel better, etc. Figured I'd ask a doctor since the topic came up.
