  1. Gabriel Kreuther is excellent. Boulud’s new place (Le Pavillon) is also just down 45th street in the new One Vanderbilt skyscraper. I haven’t been but have heard good things.
  2. Thanks for this. I just downloaded the Piedmont and Como episodes.
  3. Exactly. I was thinking back on all the games since I was a Freshman in 06, and I think I can recall exactly two (2) times in the last 15 years that I felt totally confident we would win the game (2006 and 2009). 2019 I felt confident we had the better team, but Tom Herman.
  4. Saw Jeff Tweedy solo last weekend. He opened a new venue in Brooklyn that holds about 400 people. Really nice, low key show. I suddenly have a bunch of shows coming up. Waxahatchee on Monday, a couple of LCD Soundsystem shows in December (they are doing a random 20 night stand), then Mitski, Snail Mail, Big Thief and Porches in the Spring.
  5. Agree on Keilan. Tough to take the ball out of Bijan’s hands, but Keilan needs more than the DJ Monroe package.
  6. Not that its going to matter, but I’m not sure that’s a slam dunk this year. If Alabama and Georgia meet undefeated in the SEC championship game, they are absolutely both getting in. Oregon is in if they win out or go 11-1. And 11-1 OSU with a loss to Oregon probably gets in over 11-1 Texas with a loss to Arkansas.
  7. Outside of the 99 yard drive where they seemed to be playing prevent, I didn’t think they played too bad considering some of our talent deficiencies. Crazy that Anthony Cook might be our best defensive player.
  8. Cook has been such a pleasant surprise this year.
  9. Many thanks. I booked Vietti and will look into the others.
  10. Comedy Cellar. I think he’s been around there and and Union Hall in Brooklyn. Did the omakase at Shuko over the weekend. It was awesome and had a great atmosphere (more NYC than Tokyo sushi bar), but IMHO it hits the wallet a little too hard given the number of good omakase options in the city.
  11. Just booked a last minute trip for this October. 6 nights in Monforte d'Alba during the truffle festival in Alba, and 3 nights in Lake Como. Grabbed a dinner reservation at Piazza Duomo. Need to book some winery visits in Barolo and Barbaresco, and maybe a truffle hunt. My wife and I may be the youngest people there by 40 years, but looking forward to a relaxing trip after 2 years of mostly shit. If anyone has been and needs any recs, I'm all ears. Also need to figure out the transfer from Milan to Alba region, but I'm guessing it is going to end up being a car rental.
  12. If you told us that Herman would take the flaming garbage can of a program Charlie Strong “built” and turn it into an above average but falling short of expectations program, well you were spot on my guy.
  13. I really hope my sarcasm meter is broken because every word of this sentence is fucking brutal on a Texas board.
  14. I just want to say this is maybe the best use of this gif ever
  15. The defensive line performance has been one of the biggest disappointments of the season so far in my view. I think anyone with a modicum of rationality expected struggles from the offensive line and wide receivers this year, given the awful recruiting and coaching in those departments the last few years. But we have actually recruited pretty damn well along the defensive line, specifically at defensive tackle, and the struggles don't really make sense to me. It seems like it's about time to give up on Coburn being a true difference on a consistent basis. Collins is the most talented defensive lineman we've had since Malcom Brown, and either he or the coaches really need to wake the fuck up.
  16. I’ve been thinking about trying 10 days in Sicily this October. Always been on my list but seems like a real pain in the ass to plan. Interested in recommendations also
  17. My man. Best restaurant in the city. Took father in law to David Bryne’s American Utopia last night. It was awesome. Watching all those old nerds dance with each other was touching.
  18. Christian Jones following in the illustrious footsteps of Tristan Nickelson, Cameron Hughes and Marcus Hutchins.
  19. We’re going to need to repurpose that rollercoaster meme everyone loves so much. Except we’d all give our left nut to make it to October before it all comes crashing down.
  20. Probably already posted. Don’t care. One of the greatest jokes ever.
