    I bitch about this every season.   If the refs don't call that, they're hard to beat, so you can usually tell whether it's going to be a game or not based on what the officials do early.  

    They didn't really call it tonight, either.

    Lampasas was just a much better team with superior talent and athleticism. The defense tackled very well tonight. LH only got a couple of long runs. 

    LH ended up with 3 first half turnovers and 5 failed 4th downs (4 on their side of the 50) for the game. The Badgers were bigger, stronger and faster. Multiple times defenders picked up LH runners and slammed them to the ground. Another fell as he was tackling and ended up taking the runner down with 1 arm and a handful of jersey.

    If the Lampasas defense continues to improve, they could make a lot of noise in the playoffs. That offense is potent.

    Harlingen wins the Battle of the Arroyo over San Benito, 35-13. Cards are the #1 team in the valley at the moment imo. Vela is having a down year, lost to Weslaco last night. Their 1st district loss since 2014. 

    Are you sure Weslaco isn't the top team in the RGV this year?  Beat Vela and have only 1 loss.

    I saw somewhere that they are threatening to shut the original one down because of the Burnet Rd construction and they will lose an entrance. Not sure if that’s still a thing or not.

    Chester Hunt's Icehouse could also be on the chopping block.  Austin is going to imminent domain their entire parking lot so they can extend Rundberg.

    That really sucks because it has become the Mecca of 42 in Texas.  Moreso than even the Dixie Chicken.

  4. Anyone tried the Big Red Chicken Bread at Smokey John's BBQ yet?

    I'm trying to locate some different options on the map.  I'm interested in the burnt ends, boudin egg roll, Big Red bread, deep fried potato salad, and arroz con leche from last year (anyone try that?).  And Fletcher's, of course.

  5. Remind me, when do the concessions start serving on game day?

    I know the gates to the Fair open at 7am.  The site says vendors and exhibits open at 10am, but that can't be right on TX/OU weekend.  But I can't remember what time exactly.  Want to tell a friend who was asking.

  6. I'm definitely hitting up Fernie's.  They always have great stuff.

    Will be getting a Fletchers or two.  Then over to Fernie's for that burnt ends burrito and one of their fried grilled cheeses, which has become another tradition for me.

    I usually grab some of those fried Wisconsin cheese curds at the stand just inside the International archway. 

    I don't usually seek out the sweet stuff.  But I might be tempted to try that Big Red bread.  I better not eat at all this week in preparation.

  7. I just finished the Bill Burr special.  It wasn't that funny.  I just didn't laugh all that hard at any of his jokes.  I love a lot of his older bits and was looking forward to this.  Chappelle's was far and away funnier.

    The hardest laugh I got from Bill was the airbag joke.
