  1. And then there are the Drew Kelsons ( who ended up helping us win a NC but was mismanaged most of his career). Sometimes it’s the player but other times it’s the staff that can’t figure out where someone fits. This is why I mentioned Patterson, he’s a master at this. Maybe it works, maybe not but again, I’m intrigued.
  2. Saying I’m intrigued is far from hyping. Jesus Christ!
  3. I’m wondering if the Kitan Crawford move was influenced by Patterson. I have to say I am intrigued. At 5’11” 196, he has good size for the position, if he puts on another 10 lbs of good weight I could see him really being able to bring the wood from the safety spot.
  4. As misplaced as my anger probably seems, I can’t bring myself to root for the Titans or Texans. Fuck Bud Adams. I think bringing the Oilers name back would go a long way to healing old wounds but I doubt the Adams family would ever allow it. I loved double zero and Billy White Shoes. It’s so sad that Luv Ya Blue is gone because of that passive aggressive old fuck.
  5. Longhorn Cafe Big Juicy w/cheese, onion rings, iced tea. Damn those burgers never disappoint.
  6. I grew up in a rural area outside San Antonio. It’s a small German farming community. So many places in this movie remind me of my childhood. The Germans always had plenty of General Store/beer joint/ grocery stores all rolled into one, but they are a thing of the past for the most part. I used to go with my dad to many of these fine establishments as a kid and drink a Dr. Pepper out of a glass bottle while Dad shot the shit with the men at the bar drinking a regular Pearl. There was always a pool table and old men playing cards or dominoes. The place usually sold pickled pigs feet or boiled eggs in a jar as well as a fine selection of cheese/bologna next to a scale and a slicer. Good times. God I miss my old man, this movie brings all those memories back.
  7. This. Yes, we need a better inside presence. Yes, we could use a better penetrator at guard. Even with these weaknesses, we had wide open looks that we just missed and would have beaten a top 10 team if we had made some of them( TT will be top 10 next week).
  8. Harmon’s, fuck auto correct
  9. So I checked in with associates that have worked in that area for years. They all say everything on the menu is above average to very good ( I know, not much of a review). Interesting note: they claim that big stakes card games used to be held there back in the day.
  10. I haven’t been in a few years but Harmony’s in Cibolo was always pretty good.
  11. I’ll check with some firemen friends about La Chinita. It’s right around the corner from them.
  12. I used to work on the West side and some coworkers would pick up food at a place called Three Amigos Chinese Food. They had Mexican and Chinese. It looked like a run down convenience store so I was never brave enough to try it.
  13. Southeast side here, went to East Central and stayed in the area. I’ve got to be in the same district as Swayze’s mom. Tons of great food out here.
  14. What’s changed is that their easy win over South San just went away.
  15. SA East Central is in a 6 team district with Judson, Clemens, Steele, New Braunfels, San Marcos. It should be a depressing 2 years.
  16. I’m waiting to see some reliable weight numbers for the OL. Jake Majors was listed at 310 last year but I don’t think he was north of 300 and he needs to add strength. Andrej Karic was listed at 300 but again, no way he played at 300. He’s got a great disposition for Oline but is too light in the ass.
  17. What an angry little Hobbit...I bet he bites the ankles of those coaches next meeting.
  18. I’m a fourth generation German American from South Texas so I 100% know what great pork bbq is. Many of my ancestors brought forth smoking techniques that have been passed down and we still use today. You’re correct that a lot of the pigs butchered were used in sausage but they were smart enough to know some prime cuts that were better for smoking. Nothing was wasted so smoking ribs has been around forever. I prefer the Texas style with large amounts of coarse black pepper, and yes I’ve had smoked pork all over the Southeast. We even use the head of the hog to make German “pannas”. Maybe we have different tastes and you prefer something else but your blanket statement on pork is just an opinion. My opinion comes from a deep tradition, telling me I don’t have a clue comes off as pretty arrogant.
  19. No, I’m not a beer snob but enjoy trying new beers, especially IPA’s and Hazy IPA’s. I don’t know all the ins and outs of this subject matter but should have expected this kind of response. Go ahead and enlighten me.
  20. Part of last night’s collapse was (3) 3 point shots from unlikely sources that closed the gap quickly. However, better execution against the press would have helped; once you break the press you should have a layup or foul shots. I am happy for the win but that was ugly at the end, it could have been extremely embarrassing. The “shit call” on Allen didn’t help. This team is getting better defensively but offensive execution has to improve. I really like Askew’s ball handling and defense. Maybe that is someone who needs to be on the floor when teams press. I don’t know, random thoughts.
  21. Hey Al, I enjoyed Pompeii from Toppling Goliath out of Iowa last year. Are you familiar with them? Anything new from them this year.
  22. I took my son here before he had to go back to UT for the Spring semester. Agree on everything. People were super nice. The brisket was on point and pork ribs were outstanding.
