    I lived in LR for two years when we were all SWC.  They hated Texas more than they loved their wives/sister/cousins.  When the game was played in Fayetteville,  Little Rock stores painted windows, shut down early,  people took friday off, drank and talked smack.  Little Rock is 200 miles from campus.  

    And at least 20 years behind where Northwest Arkansas is these days

    Based on his HC record and being fired for cause at USC, I don’t even begin to get how he got hired.

    I dint know if he is the right hire.  I do know that people can turn their lives around after 5 years.  I also know I can’t judge him.

    $1000+ for two outings with coaches and wives..c'mon man(not you personally). Unless that was his personal tab, that was just petty. I might be wrong, but I'm guessing other coaches do the same things for their staff and wives. Adam Jude seems like a sour bitch.

    And it was 8 years ago, not last week....

    I have no skin in the game so I'm not going to say you're definitely right or absolutely wrong. I *hope* you're wrong but if it turns out that you were right I'll give you props. Either way, one of us will be happy and the other won't. Period.

    Why cant we all just be happy that Herman’s gone?

    My dad still tells anyone that’ll listen that they have the best beef ribs in the world. If he’s paying I don’t argue.

    Very few places do beef ribs. And even fewer deliver better than a B+

    Places in Austin that come to mind (and I’m sure there are others I’m not thinking about) that serve beef ribs daily.  We can all debate where these fall in the pantheon of bbq joints and particular menu items, but all are better than County Line, and all make very good beef ribs:

    Terry Black’s

    Stiles Switch

    Beef rib at county line is still going strong.  Solid B+ piece of meat.

    And why would you go somewhere for a b+ beef rib when you can get A and A + elsewhere in Austin?

    really enjoyed Prisoner with Xmas dinner.  Highly recommend and easy to find.

    Some background: that wine was created by a guy named David Phinney, who sold the label to the much-hated Constellation Brands.  He sold other labels to the less-hated Gallo (under the Orin Swift company).  Made hundreds of millions in the sales.  He actually later went back to work for Orin Swift, and also has his own line.

    If you liked the Prisoner style, I'd suggest trying Papillon (also easy to find), made by Orin Swift.  Haven't had either in a while, but as I recall they are similar blends.

    I have lived in Amarillo most of my life and we get a pretty good dose of winter. I like the cold and enjoy the snow, just don’t know about having snow on the ground for months at a time. My parents lived in Denver for a while, mom loved it and dad hated the winters.

    Have not spent time in snow and cold in Amarillo (though I have been there several times).  My guess is that dealing with cold and snow there is significantly less pleasant than dealing with it in Telluride, simply because it is layered on top of Amarillo.

    It's great. I don't even bother with Pecan Lodge anymore with Terry Black's right down the street though I am needing to finally get some fried chicken from PL. My parents are up from SAT tomorrow for a couple of nights and we're going to have bbq from somewhere. I'm thinking of running over to Hurtado in Arlington -- been wanting to try it -- or Black's down in Deep Ellum if they don't pick up some on their way up 35.

    The Terry Black's in Austin has been open for a while, and has been pretty good.  Terry Blacks > Black's, IMO

    Go to Winslow.  Stand on a corner.  Be such a fine sight to see.

    Perhaps there will be a girl in a flatbed Ford that will slow down to take a look at you
