    Was thinking about this earlier, but there are probably fewer 5 star interior DL than any other position most years outside of maybe TE. So when you have 30 five stars in a cycle and only 3 or 4 of them play DT, the margin for error becomes slim. Then add in the fact that this state only produces 5-star interior DL maybe every couple of years. So you are oftentimes looking out of state and going against school like Bama and Georgia who get who they want in the front 7 right now. And then add in whatever the hell you want to call what A&M does. 

    Just not a recipe for consistent success in reeling in 5-star DT. This doesn't even factor in the suckage of the last 13 years which hasn't help. 

    There just aren't many programs that consistently land that level of talent in any reliable way.  I saw a report that the only 5-star DL signed last cycle outside of the SEC were Woods at Clemson and Adebawore at OU.  That's it for everyone not named Bama, Georgia, and LSU.

    The potatoes really are the star. I had to actually reserve some of the fat/brine from the pan so the potatoes would brown up the way I like, and then poured that mixture back over the plated dish. Chef’s kiss. Will make again.

    That's a really good idea.  The time it takes to get the potatoes done can ruin other parts of a dish.  I struggle with getting it all timed out correctly, and I'm absolutely trying this the next time I do a recipe like this.

    I hope you’re right. OU falling up into Heupel would suck. 

    It was a strange situation, he was absolutely being groomed to take over, but never seemed to show the flashes of leadership or innovation you might expect out of someone who really wants to be a head coach.  Once he was let go, it seemed to both light a fire under him and let Bob know he needed to find someone he could turn the reins over to entirely.

    Here’s the big question: Can they afford Heupel?

    No.  Not because there's no money, but because the amount it would take to get Heupel back on campus for any kind of role would be double what he would take anywhere else.  He was rightfully pissed at being made the scapegoat for some of the decisions Bob made for the offense and the failures on the other side of the ball.  As long as Bob is hovering anywhere around OU, Heupel will show up when Tennessee comes to play.

    They serve lobstah rolls in the fucking McDonald's near where I grew up in CT. Insanity.

    I worked in Nova Scotia for a week or so, and some of the other attendees had families of lobster fishers from the south side.  One said her dad swore that the McDonald's lobster roll there was the best you could get on the whole peninsula.  Never woulda guessed.

    Taco Mayo was serving seasoned potato rounds with tacos (and the taco burger) while Del Taco was still a gleam in its daddy’s eye. 
     

    Or, we might say:

    Taco Mayo

    a) slams

    b) goes hard

    c) all of the above 

    There was a Taco Mayo in the bottom floor of one of the dorms at OU when I was there.  Never an amazing idea for a whole meal, but you could get down to the pennies on your meal plan points with dollar menu items, including a tortilla chili pie.

    Agreed on all points…yet, at Cafe Pasqual in Santa Fe, they make an amazing grilled chicken with green chile and manchego sandwich on toasted cornbread. Only cornbread sandwich I can think of, but it’s great.

     

     

    I'd absolutely eat a sandwich on cornbread, but I'm also fine with a McGriddle on a pancake, so I'm pan-pain-ual, it seems.

    Starve to death trying to pick crab meat.

    One of my favorite memories is the rehearsal dinner at a cousin's wedding in Annapolis.  The old timers all had personalized crab knives that looked about a thousand years old.  They could go through a half dozen in ten minutes and leave them with nothing but gills and Old Bay.

    Didn't Ewers torch this guy for about 17  TDs last year?

    He came in and played really well as a freshman, then got steadily worse and less confident as things progressed.  If Miami is able to undo some of the damage done, they'll have a really talented guy to work with.  They were able to do it with Farooq at WR, so it's definitely possible in some cases.

  10. That would truly be the first big, public shot across the bow that I can pinpoint from the OU NIL crowd.  They're getting some of their efforts aligned, and players are mentioning it more during recruiting interviews, but I don't think there's been a high-profile player known to be looking for a payday that's gone to OU just yet.  Am I forgetting about anyone?

    lagerstrom is one of the best food youtubes.  probably a step behind joshua weissman though weissman has leaned waaaay too into the papa character. 

    True.  I've also actually made several of Lagerstrom's recipes, and haven't gotten to a single one of Weissman's.

    Still sounds like work.

    It is, and the next time I make a stew, I'm going to try frozen to see if there's actually a difference.  Here's a recipe I've used a few times.  The big change is doctoring up storebought stock with gelatin, better than bouillon, and tomato paste.  I have tons of homemade chicken stock, but almost never have beef.

    In all my travels with all the people I've met and even on this board.  When asked.  Almost every single person has said Viet Nam is their favorite country.  It is mine.  Cambodia is right up there as well so if you go I'd definitely look at shooting over to Siem Reap from Sai Gon.  Flights are super cheap.

    The one exception to this was a previous coworker, probably the best-traveled person I know in my personal life.  Irish, had been everywhere for either work or fun.  Sri Lanka was his pick, and I don't even know enough about it to know why.
