  1. Pretty bad finale. In for season 3 anyway.
  2. Yeah, fuck that noise. It was always OK firing Beard. And fuck him and his bad judgment. Making RT permanent (which I was marginally opposed to but understood) came with this exact risk, and we have to be willing to accept it and to fire fast here. I imagine the next 6 games are going to make that decision easier.
  3. His temper tantrum last night should get him fired.... now. That said, next 6 games are against ranked teams so likely can let him run that gauntlet, leave no doubt, then have Ogden take over with absoluteclarity that he will not be the head coach next year.
  4. He's done. He signed his death warrant last night complaining about Horns Down. When a coach does that he has less than a year because he's lost the wheel and is grasping at petty shit to complain about.
  5. I liked it. It’s Dead Poet Society if Robin Williams was a dick and everyone hated him.
  6. Started Death and other Details on Hulu. It is derivative as fuck - combo Knives Out meets White Lotus meets Only Murders.. meets Succession. That said, first episode was intriguing. May or may not deserve its own thread.
  7. We had a blast last week for the game. Wife and daughter are celiac, so eating out is a struggle. We were wary of NoLa but it delivered. Did Twisted Waffle and Bearcat for breakfast. Both were great. Bearcat has a better menu, worse service. Dinners at GW Fins (delivered); Deanie’s (gf fried food and fryer for the win) and found this little interior Mexican restaurant in CBD whose name I can’t recall that was excellent. Bon in Jackson Sq (near Landry) had gluten free “beignets” which were pretty solid and they made the best to go hurricane I can remember. So for those Celiacs out there I give it a thumbs up!

    Asian

    Been to Red Farm downtown twice. Really good. Way too expensive. I am not sure it’s getting the foot traffic it anticipated either. I thought it was going to be a very difficult reservation (not Ref Ash difficult, but maybe ATX Cocina) and it isn’t.
  9. Enjoying the Brothers' Sun and am through the episode after Rolodex episode, but..... And would Alexis even though she's a daytime soap level actress.
  10. Sorry if already broached, but I was listening to Russillo this morning and he asked the question "Is Alabama "Alabama" without Nick Saban?" They have a ton of resources, obv, but I think there is some merit to that question given the lack of success (outside one Stallings year) between Bear and Saban. I agree with those upthread that NIL is going to favor teams in or near big cities. There is just more opportunity beyond the alumni-base for kids to get paid. If Caleb Williams was playing at OU still, does he get the Wendy's or Dr. Pepper deals? So I think there is merit to almost anyone Bama is talking to saying, "Nah, I'm good," to the point where this may go on a while, or at very least, result in a surprise hire that isn't going to make the fans too happy. I don't think I take that job if I am anyon of the guys that are in the mix now. Kiffin would take it, but they aren't hiring Kiffin given the way he exited. I wonder if they'll go after Drink at Mizzou?
  11. Michigan somehow pulled USC, Oregon, and Washington on their schedule next year in addition to us and Ohio St. I presume Washington and USC are probably down, but that is going to be a gauntlet Will test how deep they really are + recruiting presuming they lose 12-15 players to draft and Harbaugh Oregon pulled both Michigan and Ohio St. UCLA misses both. With these unbalanced schedules, I think making 12 team playoff has almost as much to do with who you hit in conference as anything. UT and Aggy need to take full advantage next year because the SEC schedule isn’t going to get any easier. Separately, and this is another discussion for another thread, how many years until a team rests guys Thanksgiving weekend or even in the CCG game NFL week 18 style, to avoid injury for playoff? Last year was fluky so not a perfect example, but if Big XII CCG was the last game played and results were known, why would TCU want to risk injury if they are still top 4 with a loss? I imagine that in that scenario the committee makes Bama 4 and TCU 5. That’s also why 16 teams would have been a real problem. At least with 4 teams getting byes there ought to be a lot to play for everyone. But the scenario will bubble up one year for a team locked into too 4 or 8-12 range.
  12. Do all the Buford Pusser/Walking Talk/Roadhouse rich guy runs a town but FAFOs with the new badass in town count? Also, for the six degrees of Kevin Bacon, Death Sentence (underrated flick), and, I guess, Wild Things?
  13. Ackman tripled down on the de-SPAC market and basically laughed at anyone that questioned whether it was really a viable long term route that was superior to underwritten IPOs. Then he had to unwind the Pershing Tontine. I am not going to say the guy is dumb. He obviously is very smart. But his hubris is of fucking Greek tragedy proportions.
  14. Yeah. That’s every fan base. Even ours. Seems like a lot of recency bias. Ohio St and Michigan fans are 10x worse.
  15. Any more so than any other big state school? I put the UW fans well behind any SEC school, OU, Ohio St, Michigan, Notre Dame and USC. There were definitely assholes last week but we have our fair share.
  16. I mean, seriously, I don’t get any UT fan that doesn’t have Michigan ties rooting for Michigan tonight. Penix was a wizard last week and we win if he played like he did tonight. Fuck Jim Harbaugh. I can’t wait for the hammer to drop on Michigan after Harbaugh has jetted off to Vegas in a month. I hope we Michele them in September.
  17. I don’t get it? I quite enjoyed the UW fans in NoLa. Michigan fans are just slightly more tolerable than Ohio St. we will find that out in September.
  18. This game is frustrating. Set aside how well Michigan’s defense is playing, if we get a couple of those timely wide open drops by UW receivers in our game, we win. We really should have won last week.
  19. Watts did well for us but I am ready to see what is next. He has the size to potentially have a nice NFL career but I felt like more often than not he lost 50/50 balls and was just not quite good enough to make the big play. He rarely got burnt outright but he always just seemed a step slow and was a half second away from stopping the big play that just happened.

    Burgers

    Not going to read upthread, but my two favorite go-tos right now are the burger at PH Brewery on Ben White and the one at Bill's Oyster on 3rd. They both have to be just steeped with butter or something, but both are really well done smash burgers.
  21. New Chappelle out. Not the best but I laughed a lot
  22. Just got back to hotel. I am not reading the rest of this thread. We lost because….. - We put it on ground twice. We do it just once and we win, I think. - Sark thought he had possessions to fuck around on in first half. Then he shat bed once we had chance to win at end. - Sweat was held throughout the game with no calls. Absolutely infuriating. We were never stopping that passing game. But we could have kept it away from them more effectively. they are going to smoke Michigan.
  23. We checked in last night at Pere Marquette. Ready to tear up Bourbon St tonight with my 6 and 10 year old in tow. Which means should be done and asleep around 6:30 after DW Fins dinner. Hook ‘Em!
  24. I really enjoyed it but leaving Chris out was a weird choice. Was it just too much?
