    If you need a quick BBQ lunch in the area and can't get out of town, just go to Iron Works.

    I haven't been to Iron Works in I don't know how long...15+ years?  Is it actually a legit option?  I haven't been because it was terrible the last time I went, and not much better the times previous.  Never have understood how it's still open, other than preying on unsuspecting tourists/conventioneers.

     

  2. Y'all talking about Danger Zone to open, but how about before the movie even starts, when they still have the producer credits up and the gong starts?  I did a dorky double fist pump of excitement and my kid was like WTF?

    Men's soccer is expensive. It's a big roster and men's soccer coaches (at least - the ones worth a shit) command decent salaries. 

    Men's soccer is 9.9 scholarships. 27 max can travel.
    Of the nonrev sports, Hockey, Baseball, Track & Field/Cross Country, Lacrosse all have more scholarship athletes.  Wrestling and Swimming & Diving also have 9.9.
    Haven't seen anything that shows a Men's Soccer HC being paid north of $200K, but admittedly that info isn't as available as FB/BB HC salary.

    The reason I don't like using the "non-revenue" term is because the revenue sports change. Hasn't softball been a revenue sport recently? 

    In the context of NCAA athletics, it means all sports other than football and men's basketball. Don't make it harder than it needs to be.  Those sports don't even operate in the black at the majority of NCAA institutions.

  5. Who remembers the "that's a lot of ice cream, flip flop" story, complete w/ the nose boop?

    ~75min, Sec 123 (behind the Grenada goal), Row 6 (USA) vs Row 7 (GRE)

    Not sure what sets things off as there had been no tension all night long.  All of a sudden, both rows (the seat ~20 side) are up and yelling at each other, gesturing, NFL fan arm flailing style.  In one of the most beautiful sports fan altercation sequences I have ever witnessed, USA fan reaches up and boops Grenada fan's nose perfectly, and in response, Grenada fan cracks USA fan across the face with a PERFECT slap, loud and clear.

    Security was already watching and getting closer, so as soon as the slap happened, GRE fan and friends were escorted out.  Not sure how USA fan got to stay, but home field advantage and all that.

    Both the boop and slap were so perfectly glorious! *chef's kiss* to the both of you, wherever you are tonight.

    Patent?  Wtf?  You think they even want anything other than sheep?

    This is for city slickin' aggy that are forced to walk among the washed and educated, without easy access to farmland.  You know, progressive types.
