  1. Don't be fatuous. You know it does.
  2. Reportedly wants to try WR, couldn't come to an agreement on his future there with OU. Where do we stand on "tell em they can play wherever they want" until they get on campus and figure out the depth chart? Maybe I'd be a shitty coach, but if a guy you value wants to try something else, why would you shut that down? Is the worst case scenario they fail and then don't want to switch back? Then you're out a season of a scholarship, and with the portal activity these days, who cares?
  3. All this PLUS a hyper-fixation on Christian messaging at a time when that could be extremely polarizing. All it takes is one coach or staff member to come out with some idiotic celebration of the Roe decision and then your program is the center of a huge shitstorm. Venables had better be 100% sure about this approach, or he's going to be asking Dabo for a job in a couple of years.
  4. Having them not pay off the Refused song in the first episode was a choice, but I get why you might not want it in there.
  5. My mom did a version of this a million years ago for Super bowl parties. The cheapest hamburger buns you can find, shaved ham, whatever cheese you like, melt butter, brown mustard, and honey. Build the ham and cheese sandwiches, cut into quarters, skewer and put onto a parchment-lined sheet tray, baste with the mustard sauce, bake covered with foil until steamed and uncover until cheese melts and the tops get crisp. I must have eaten my weight in those as a kid.
  6. I haven't been to a Lot-a-Burger in Tulsa in forever. I hit the ones in Bartlesville when I go to visit my dad, but are the Tulsa locations worth it?
  7. I can safely and happily live one thousand more years before seeing someone hold up their hand to calm/stop a vicious animal again.
  8. So true, and also still available.
  9. Sonic used to have a steak sandwich that was basically a CFS, and you could definitely add gravy. Served on thick toast, it was perfect. I'm constantly disappointed that it doesn't exist any longer.
  10. Agreed, I've got a version my brother in law made that's pretty spicy, so I put it on eggs and in some kinds of tacos.
  11. We had a corporate retreat/summit in the Cotswolds twice while I was with a Dutch company. One was at a more generic hotel and conference center, but the other was outside of Witney at the Old Swan & Minster Mill. Highly recommend it if you have a chance. It felt so olde English that they offered hot water bottles and turndown service at the inn to keep warm at night. Semi-related, I miss having an English manager I'd see 3-4 times a year who would invariably spend one night per trip getting so drunk that I got in trouble by association.
  12. I'd say it's a huge win for a city that, up until 30 years ago, was really nothing more than an Air Force base crossed with a thousand truck stops.
  13. 2 was conceptually great, and the story rules. They had to turn it around too quickly and got stuck re-using the same environments for a lot of the segments, which people found annoying. They also chose to make combat more difficult and less immersive with randomly appearing waves of enemies. Inquisition scratched the itch of castle/realm upgrades and story choice missions, and I'm a sucker for that type of progression.
  14. Primanti Bros. wasn't my cup of tea. Maybe if you get it without the slaw? Cold salad on top of hot fries just means cold, mushy fries. Burgatory is a chain that was reliable for me if I needed something good but not fancy. Warhol museum was fun. You won't get to see a Penguins game, and I haven't been for a Pirates game, but I'd imagine it's great. Try to get up on the south side of the river at the top of the hill for an amazing view.
  15. I'm a big fan of buying relatively cheap for non-stick and relatively pricy for stainless/clad stuff. Nonstick coating tends to wear faster and is unrecoverable once it starts to go. If I (or my daughter) burns something onto my stainless stuff, a good shot of barkeeper's friend usually cleans it right up.
  16. Gasso has also been relatively open about how her attitude and approach were keeping the team from achieving between that first and second win. Somewhat remarkable for a professional coach at any level to be able to diagnose and correct that. Ego problems tend to stop people from fixing ego problems.
  17. That's right, it's not really close to anything, and all I can really speak to is the ribs. They seem proud of their barbecue spaghetti, but I've never wanted to try it. Rendezvous was dry and underwhelming the times I've tried it. Great ambiance and a fun story, so if you're traveling with a group and they want a sense of the history, I think there's a place for that.
  18. I'm a big BarBQ Shop supporter. I prefer spare ribs to baby backs and I believe Central does baby backs exclusively? They benefit from being close to everything, and right around the corner from the Lorraine Hotel and a few blocks from the best place in Memphis, the Cheesecake Corner.
  19. I saw it Friday and it sounds terrible to say, given the subject matter, but I really enjoyed it.
  20. I'm getting this for when I wrap up my Farcry backlog. Thanks for the heads-up. I just hope I can adjust to losing soldiers, as XCOM made me overly cautious.
  21. Underrepresented band in lists of era-specific greatness. We loved them so much we let our guitarist's girlfriend start playing shows just because she had an organ and great hair.
  22. Getting a Clemson-style class of 16-18 dudes is NOT going to fly anymore unless you're also picking up 10-12 from the portal every season.
  23. They (I only separate myself from them because I don't love the tone of the new program) are absolutely eating it up. Though, there have been some rumblings about when the recruits who love what BV is building are going to, you know, actually commit...
  24. It sure seems like an antiquated position to take, given the huge swing towards player agency we've seen in the last couple of years. It's great to find players who are incredibly bought in and loyal, but is it reasonable to hope that that same group of players is the best possible assembly of talent you could have? When it works, it's unbeatable, but that's a lot of eggs in one big, Jesus-scented basket.
