  1. Curious to see what people think about Peter Luger’s. Just went for the first time and I was shocked by how disappointing it all was. Frankly I thought it was worse than most of the Chicago/Texas steakhouses. However they cooked the steak left a pretty large gray band, and although the quality of the meat was fine it didn’t stand out or blow me away. Combine that with cold rolls and mediocre sides and the total came out to ~$200 a person without factoring in the bottles of wine …I’m sure most people on this board could do better with a trip to central market. Is this normal or am I missing something?
  2. Given Missouri’s renewed program interest from their fans and boosters, it would be really weird for them to let their OC get poached by a conference rival after having their best season in a decade
  3. Maybe it was the alcohol, but I thought the DJ had great comedic timing. Songs that match the player names and appropriate for penalties. Sure you can debate the decision to have a DJ and the directive to blare loud music to keep the casuals engaged, but the execution has been on point.
  4. I completely underestimated the sheer arrogance of these Aggie leaders and how deeply tinted those maroon-colored glasses are. Surely they couldn’t fire their head coach mid season without a plan and multiple contingencies in place? But it looks like they and whatever milquetoast media mouthpieces they fawn over legitimately believed that the head coaches of Oregon, Clemson, and Ohio State would see the majesty, wonder and potential of Aggieland and come running. And the best part of this Stoops debacle is that now they can’t hide their ineptitude from the world. They can’t pick themselves up from the pavement after falling flat on their face to say “oh yeah we meant to do that from the start and we’re not looking back.” I woke up to texts from non-UT friends outside of Texas laughing their ass off. What a time to be alive
  5. Just let it go, it’s not worth it. This is the equivalent of grandma repeatedly trying to bring up political conspiracy theories at an otherwise excellent thanksgiving evening. If you ignore him long enough he’ll tire himself out, wander off, or drink enough Chardonnay to pass out.
  6. You literally couldn’t script this up any better
  7. Evan Stewart’s blocking efforts make AD Mitchell look like Jordan Whittington in comparison.
  8. Happy to bring some food/drinks as well, just give us a heads up of what would be helpful
  9. I understand the point you are trying to make, but man is it still silly to type that out. Brooks was front runner for the Doak and there isn’t anyone “ideal” in college football who would have had better production for us. That said, Baxter has a lot of tools and Blue’s speed has the potential to ruin Iowa State if they bust a run fit. We’ll be fine.
  10. Have a diehard Utah Ute friend who is bringing his family to the game solely to see BYU lose. Sending him to the tailgate
  11. Any word on Kris Ross? It didn’t show on the stat sheet due to some questionable holding non-calls, but he was looking pretty disruptive at the edge spot before the injury.
  12. This also looks like the triple high safety look we’ve struggled with for the past two years, right? We’ll play better safeties than Baylor has, but it will be huge if we can consistently hit shots like these against this type of scheme.
  13. Controversial opinión, but I’ll miss away games at TCU in terms of the experience. Fans are very relaxed and friendly, the area around the stadium is beautiful, and Fort Worth is a fun town to visit for the weekend with an underrated late-night scene. Most importantly, you’re never worried about opposing fans trying to reenact Deliverance on your walk back from the bars. But I’m sure Oxford Mississippi exceeds that experience in every way.
  14. Anthony Hill became one of my favorite players the moment he sacked Milroe, ran into the Bama end zone and proceeded to taunt the Bama fans with horns down. Thank you Jimbo Fisher, for being such an unlikeable, hateful narcissist that your own players blew up what should have been a sure thing.
  15. That RB draw call on 3rd and 7 to ice the game was masterful. Cherry on top of a brilliant game plan.
  16. How long has OB been around? I bet for OB it must be really weird to see this new IT site come in and eclipse OB in every possible way…content, quality of writing, views, benefit to the UT program…I’m probably missing some other metrics too.
  17. That can’t be right. Distinctly remember him getting torched by KaVontae Turpin for 4 quarters because we couldn’t adjust.
  18. This is better than cheese puns, but it’s like you’re pulling random words from investopedia and shoehorning them into your post to try and make the metaphor work. Investing solely based on the charisma of a CEO with a decidedly unproven track record is exactly what you are taught NOT to do. Maybe Elizabeth Holmes could win 9 games with this team with that logic? But yes, these press conferences are refreshing because they are underscored by the outstanding roster management and culture building in the program right now. Further, the state of our current athletic department as a whole is a sark contrast from the Herman and strong years. Think back to 2015: you spent the entire afternoon tailgating on the unforgiving asphalt of the BB museum parking lot before watching someone nicknamed “No Contact At All” try and protect Jerrod Heard’s blindside. We’ve come a long way.
  19. Since Ishbia levered up to buy a new toy to play with, doesn’t seem like Michigan State is competitive either. Not sure what they are worried about…
