Is Ruby Slipper a quality breakfast spot, or is it an overdone chain? I see there's one in walking distance.

College Hoops 2024-25
This is probably the most complete ISU team of my life. Fizer/Tinsley squad might take them. Maybe. We blew a 20 point lead on Auburn in Maui. Would love to have that back.

Liuzza getting a lot of love upthread too. Checked them out on Google. Looks legit. We fly in on Wednesday the 29th at 1:15 and the wife wants to do a haunted tour thing in the Quarter that night (think we're scheduled for 8). Seems like checking into the hotel and grabbing an uber up there for a late lunch before drinking in the Quarter prior to the tour would be a good plan to kick things off.

Thanks! Guy's and Domilise's both came up in my Google exploring and looked legit.

Poboy spots in Uptown or the Garden District? Going in a few weeks and staying around St Charles & Jackson. Plan to explore that area more than on my previous trip. I'd made a note to get to Parkway, but figured maybe there's something better more out of the way and less known on that side of town. EDIT: shit, any Uptown/Garden recs would work, really.

Worst concert/live show that you attended
I've seen DBT 15-20 times and it was almost always fucking incredible. My worst show, I guess, was Red Hot Chili Peppers in early 2007 or so. It was a raging blizzard in Iowa, and they were obviously sick with some kind of flu. Just a complete lack of energy between the travel nightmare and their physical condition. I realize a lot of people can't stand them period, but I'd seen them several months prior and enjoyed the show immensely. This was a total let down by comparison.

Delta had free Wi-Fi, but that live TV option will almost certainly do what I needed it to. it was great to have sports. I watched the ISU game, end of Cincy/BYU, and the start of Ravens/Browns. I was far more focused on trying to keep my 17 month old daughter from making everyone around us hate life as she fought sleep for a good half hour though.

Non-Texas weather. The all-encompassing thread
When you've lived through multiple Januaries where the temperature was never measured in double digits unless there was a - in front of it, the 20's are mild.

Non-Texas weather. The all-encompassing thread
I don't think we have a high under 20 or precip of any kind in the two week forecast at this point. Another dry mild winter.

Sweet. The game will be on either ESPN or ESPN2.

Does AA have the in-flight TV and wi-fi like Delta does? Flying American home from NOLA in early February in the middle of an ISU game. Flew Delta home from AZ this past Saturday and was able to watch the entire ISU/Baylor game on the plane.

‘24-‘25 Non-Texas Winter Thread
- Realignment talk not going away
I’d love to see a smaller big playoff, and the P4 have internal playoffs to determine who gets into the final one. Probably impossible from a logistics standpoint but it would be a lot of fun.- Realignment talk not going away
Has been for awhile- Realignment talk not going away
I don’t recognize that logo- Hey Steel Shank!
Yeah, but homemade and better. Sloppy Joes, but wetter. Beats the shit outta Maid Rites- Hey Steel Shank!
Accurate on all points. I hate loose meats, but we make tavern burgers which are ground beef in a sauce made of ketchup, mustard, vinegar and stuck in a crock pot all day. Pretty damn good- 2025 Peach Bowl: CFP QF - Texas vs. Arizona State - 12pm on ESPN
Of course I don’t care about Arizona State specifically. Obviously I have a vested interest in the Big 12 hanging in the playoffs.- 2025 Peach Bowl: CFP QF - Texas vs. Arizona State - 12pm on ESPN
That was the most entertaining game I’ve watched in years. Obviously I wanted the Big 12 squad to prevail, but I think they did enough to prove we should be included which is really all I cared about. Your guys showed some serious grit today as well and I’ll be rooting for you against the rest of the blue bloods.- Jason Isbell, Sturgill Simpson, Chris Stapleton, and Other Good Stuff
Stephen Wilson is excellent. “American Gothic” absolutely slays me and hits very close to home. “Year to Be Young” is such an excellent snapshot of being a kid in the 90’s.- Tell me about Iowa State
When I was growing up in the 90’s there was one other Cyclone fan in my grade. It was a big deal to see someone in ISU gear. Now it’s impossible to go around (outside of Iowa City) and NOT see ISU gear. The idea that ISU would regularly put 61K of their own fans in Jack Trice would have got you committed. This program/entire athletic department has done things absolutely no one thought possible. - Realignment talk not going away
