    Dallas | Steak

    Went there for years. Got to know Bush pretty well. Got drunk with him a few times. Smoked cigars in their side lounge before it was prohibited. Many great events there. Never had to eat upstairs with the spares. Porn stars. College coaches. Actors. Politicians.
  2. Gotta bump this classic to the top.
  3. So, Hall was the DC at Troy? I read that Troy initially had a pretty salty defense. That its defensive line was as if it was a tall, strong wall repelling all attacks. Then, as time and the season wore on, so too did Troy. I read that they lost a key player, a rover named Paris. But, the Men of Troy stayed resolute which began to bring doubts to their opponents. You see, Troy's opponents had their own Achilles' heel and they became tired of being bent over while Troy went Greek on them, unlubed no less. So, seeing that a frontal attack was of no use, Troy's opponents resorted to trickeration. They used the old, "hide the ball in the belly of the Horse" play, Troy completely fell for it and the Troy defense completely fell apart leading to their utter defeat. So, we have THAT going for us too.
  4. UH... what happens at the Number 6 dance that night?
  5. The amazeballs thing about that is ... the year before, they set the bowl record for most passing yards against Meatchicken State ... 603 yards. (Of course, the Baptists did their Texas 2021 imitation by giving up 21 points in the 4th quarter and losing the game.) The next year with that 645 yards, 5 different players took snaps out of the wildcat. Briles is a football savant. That pesky enabling rape thing was his "Hitler hates all jews" factor.
  6. Alright boys ... its cranberry sauce recipe time. This is so good, your friends will be beating down your door or offering to sacrifice a virgin to get some. Bag of Fresh cranberries. (Usually that is 12 oz.) 1 cup brown sugar. 3/4 cup Apple juice (or cider) 1/4 cup Orange juice 2 table spoons of bourbon or Grand Marnier. Zest from one orange. Chop up the remainder of the orange. A pinch (or more to taste) of: Allspice Cinnamon Ground Cloves Cardamom. Medium heat on the stove top, stirring frequently. Not high heat. The berries will boil over and prematurely burst. (we men like NOTHING to be premature). Stir, stir. When most berries have popped, pull off heat and let cool off. Put in frig. Pull out about an hour before serving. These stay good for days in the frig and improve each day. Enjoy.
  7. Have lived in Dallas since 1974, except when I was attending UT and then law school. The Significant Other lives way the hell up here. I moved in with her 3 years ago. The first time in my life I have lived north of LBJ. Took a LONG TIME to get used to. I lived around Preston and Forest for a long time. Walking distance to the original Mi Cocina. I went there the first week it was open ... I think they had 12 tables. And back then, the Mambo Taxis were the real deal.

    I used to be a Del Frisco's guy. Was going there before they moved up to Spring Valley Road. Go to know Dee Lincoln after she bought the place from Dale Wamstad. Used to love it. Got drunk with "Bush" a number of times. Saw Bob Stoops eating a huge bag of dicks on a back table in what was then their cigar room the night before the Texas - ou game. And then ... Dee Lincoln sold out. They moved their flagship to Uptown. I was living down there at the time. (during and after the divorce from the Sequel.). Officed a block from there. AND THEN ... Wow. What they say is "prime" filet tastes a hell of a lot like Select. The sides are average at best. And the patrons ... Good Lord! There was a time when you respected the restaurant and the Chef by at least dressing presentable. Now... baggy shorts, wife beaters ... HEY! No problem! Come on in. Sad to see what used to be a great steakhouse erode into what it is today. Ugggg.
  9. Any list that does not include Cadot or Lavendou should be suspect. Speranza is excellent as well.
  10. All this talk about the Amish and nothing from Kingpin? Damn, Surlatians, I haz dissapoint.
  11. And yet, not as bad of a job as the towel person for Mark Mangino.
  12. Wait ... what? Many other teams destroyed us between 2000 - 2004? Excluding OU, our losses were as follows: 2000 -- Stanford by 3; Oregon in the bowl game by 5; 2001 -- Colorado by 2 in the Big 12 champ game; 2002 -- Texas Tech by 4; 2003 -- Arkansas by 10; Washington State by 8 in the bowl game; 2004 -- No losses other than Ou Besides ou, in those 5 years, we had a total of 6 losses, the worst one by 10 points, with an average of 5.3 points per loss. Ouch... facts suck sometimes.
  13. And this is new? No, it's not. In the late 70s and 80s, a weekly snoozefest but must see tv was ... "The Fred Akers Show."
  14. Holy Fuckballs! Emma Coburn!
  15. yeah... that Holocaust comparison thing didn't work out too well for 117 employees (former employees?) of Houston Methodist Hospital. Judge Hughes down in Houston made short work of that argument ... "Equating the injection requirement to medical experimentation in concentration camps is reprehensible." Each state law is different with regard to employment but methinks the former Coog Coach should have read Judge Hughes' opinion: https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/20860669-houston-methodist-lawsuit-order-of-dismissal
  16. Gameday. Uchi last night. Fletcher's Corny Dog and warm Shiner Bock in a wax cup today!
  17. 39th game for me. 19 - 17 - 2 ou orally inhales with great force and furious anger.
  18. From the Preston Road and Frankford Road area in far North Dallas where we have TWO incredible French restaurants, 1 great Italian food restaurant, 1 authentic Chinese food restaurant serving up the best Peking duck in the Metroplex knowing the heathen ou masses will be buying up all of the Super Burritos at 7/11 in North Texas this weekend .... FIGHT !!!
  19. A cute, little, leaf eating doe eyed deah?
  20. Oh wow... that is a great pic. Imagining the story behind this.
  21. This year will be my 39th Texas - ou game. But, first since 2016. That year, I got to sit next to one of the Big Bosses on here. That game was on October 8. 22 days later, my daughter died. This year, it is time to go back to a game she and I shared a number of times. With hope, strength, love and inspiration. Oh... and if anyone has any ideas how I can get down on the field and spread just a few of her ashes ... let me know. https://adadsjourneywitheatingdisorders.home.blog/2021/10/06/ashes-texas-football-memories/
  22. Well, the Texas - Ou game this year could provide a bit of healing for me ... https://adadsjourneywitheatingdisorders.home.blog/2021/10/06/ashes-texas-football-memories/
  23. Just meet under Big Tex. You will be the only ones there.
