  1. I'm not worried about the ags or pigs. Home games are gonna be good for us. Georgia, on the other hand...
  2. Maybe they've improved? I gave them a couple of shots within a few months of their opening, since I'm at Hopfields quite a bit anyway, and it was pretty much Bill Miller quality. At the time they were bringing everything in from Lockhart, commissary style, and it tasted like cafeteria BBQ. If they've improved since then, good for them.
  3. I think we're going to play Vanderbilt a lot better than some expect. NOT having to travel 1000+ miles, as the team did against tOSU, Florida, and Kentucky, is going to make a difference. Pre-season everyone talked about the massive amount of travel this team would face and sort of shrugged it off. That was silly. It absolutely makes a difference.
  4. Well at least we saw the TV crew replay this controversial call from multiple angles.
  5. Through week 7, games involving Texas had brought in over 33 million total viewers in games to date. Games involving Texas A&M had brought in just over 12 million. And that includes their prime time game against Notre Dame. It's not some mystery or conspiracy as to why the Ags got bumped for the Longhorns.
  6. Skirt steak was $0.59/lb as recently as the early 90s when I started cooking it as a poor young college kid. And yes, Chili's did indeed ruin it for all of us. You can still find brisket $2.50/lb occasionally and when you do, you should load up on it and chunk it into your deep freezer. I have 3 or 4 in there right now. But it's been years since I saw it for $0.99/lb, probably a year or two before the pandemic was the last time I saw that, at least in Austin.
  7. Indeed. It's never going to rain again.
  8. It's semantics of course. Urging Ukraine to "freeze hostilities along the current front" necessitates giving up the areas that Russia has invaded. It's effectively the same as suggesting Ukraine give up Donbas.
  9. A couple of weeks ago my wife got excited and brought home a 4-pack of pumpkin tallies from someone or another. I don't ever want to discourage her from buying and bringing me beer, so I opened a couple of them and poured them into glasses for us. She took one sip, grimaced, put the glass down. She waited 5 or 10 minutes, took another sip, and just shook her head. "Nope." I smiled and shrugged and said something like, "Well, they can't all be winners. But you know what's always great in the fall? Oktoberfest!" A couple days later, there were multiple varieties in the fridge-- Live Oak Oaktoberfest, Haker-Pschorr Oktoberfest, Ayinger Oktoberfest, and another one I can't recall. She's a good woman.
  10. Game is in Baton Rouge, LSU has yet to lose a home game against the Ags since they joined the SEC, even when LSU has fielded mediocre-to-bad teams. This year won't be any different.
  11. username and current living situation check out
  12. Let's hope so. I'd hate for the 8-4 dream to perish just because Mizzou couldn't get it up...
  13. If you want to stick around in the Quarter, I've watched several football games at the The Corner Oyster House off Jackson Square, right at the corner of St. Peter and Decatur. They have enough TVs that you can probably catch whichever games you're interested in. Food and drinks are good enough, pretty standard New Orleans fare.
  14. Are any of you that follow xtwitter or instagram seeing anything from the teams? I'm not on either, but it's always fun to see y'all post up what the guys are doing around town, in the week leading up to the race.
  15. I see @LSU and @Texas as pretty much certain losses for the Ags. I'm not sure I see two other losses on the regular season schedule, though. Still, they do tend to aggy things up.
  16. Thranduil the Elven King in The Hobbit movies Ronan The Accuser in Marvel's Avengers movies Joe MacMillan, an OG 80s Tech Bro, on AMC's Halt and Catch Fire Brother Day of Empire, in Apple's adaptation of Isaac Asimov's Foundation
  17. Yes, for sure on the lack of shade whilst watching on-track action. As far as non-track shade, I'm not sure I'd say there is "enough", especially not on Saturday and Sunday. But there is certainly "some." And on Friday it's generally less crowded all around. On Saturday it's nice to find one of the tents with TVs, they often have college football on. And on Sunday, everything is a shitshow. We usually stay close to our seats and just sit down well ahead of time. Yeah I don't recall there ever being only one support series. It's bad.
  18. I knew it. brisket loves beans in chili.
  19. Could be they added shade in some places? I don't know. Not in my seats in T15, they're down in the middle of the wall of grandstands. Honestly on Friday you probably don't need to worry too much about shade while watching the on-track events, because sadly there just aren't many of them. An hour for FP1, 30 minutes for Porsche Carrera Cup practice, and then 45 minutes for F1 Sprint Qualifying. I wouldn't bother with paying extra for shaded seats, I'd just watch all of those from wherever you like, and duck into the tents or other shaded areas when there's nothing happening on track-- which will be most of the day.
  20. Maybe this hoodoo jinx will work, we can hope. I'll be there too. I've been to all of them since 2012, and we've only had rain at a couple. 2015 featured torrential downpours for most of the weekend. Other than that, it's usually cool in the morning, cloudless and toasty in the afternoon. ETA: If you have any questions or want any pointers on how to handle F1 at COTA, there's some discussion in the Other Sports forum on the F1 thread, and also some tips and talk on the COTA seems like it sucks thread.
  21. I walk across the bridge to the infield and through the tunnel pretty regularly. It's a bit longer but not terrible. However, if that's the ONLY way to go, then it becomes more problematic. On Friday it shouldn't be terrible, and on Sunday I don't bother walking around, I just hang out at the T12 hospitality tent and then get to my seats in T15. Saturday could be an issue.
  22. There aren't really shaded seats anywhere, GA or grandstand, outside of the luxury suites and the main grandstands.
