Never went to the new location because I'm not driving down to Buda. But I heard it was a disaster. The wait times after ordering at the trailer were always ridiculous. The wait times when ordering online for pickup were even more absurd. I waited an hour and a half after the time they said it would be ready once. The food was amazing and they seem like great people, but they've ALWAYS struggled to be efficient with respect to their service. Then they moved into a 6000 square foot building and I knew they were going to fail. Heard absolutely terrible things about the experience at the new location, much of which has already been documented - absurdly long wait times, poor quality food, and the most common complaint I heard is that they just blasted the music so loud that people couldn't even have a conversation at the same table without yelling. That's an easy fix guys.

Bust: Dallas Turner - He'll be a 6 to 8 sacks with 6 devastating roughing the passer penalties per year guy JJ - For all the reasons listed above Guyton - Because fuck OU. Unless he goes to the Cowboys and then he'll be awesome, right? Bo Nix - That dude sucked for like 5 years and then in his 6th year he puts up a bunch of empty stats. He's gonna suck Wilcard Caleb Williams - His personality and ego are concerning, but he's a fucking amazing player. Jayden Daniels - He's either going to be awesome or he's gonna get absolutely fucking destroyed physically. Dude takes BIG hits, and it will be worse in the NFL Amarius Mims - He's got all the tools but he's got very little experience. Not a lot to project, but could be awesome. Drake Maye - Can he improve his decision making and accuracy and be another Josh Allen? Josh Allen's the anomaly. He's got the arm. I guess we'll see. Boom Penix - love this dude. I know he's old but he's the same age as Nix and is a much better QB who did more. Don't understand mock drafts that have Nix above him. Cooper DeJean - I'm just rooting for a white corner to be successful. Chop Robinson - Loved the few times I saw this dude play. I think he's gonna be good. Then there are obvious guys like Bowers and Alt and Harrison Jr that I think most people agree are going to be fucking awesome and don't feel the need to reiterate.

The optics of this seem..... not good. Rather than give Foster and Bobby Taylor the dignity of an exit interview with coaches and the option of first entering the transfer portal, the coaching staff "cut" these dudes. It's not a good look. VERY weird strategy here.

Yeah. It was suggested by my wife based on a recommendation from her friend. They fucking love overpriced mom brunch places like El Alma, so I was skeptical. But the food was good and the cheese enchiladas held up, IMO. And pricing seemed fair - $15 for cheese enchiladas is the same price at Casa Garcias, and $1.50 more than Maudie's.

South Lamar location has been serviceable. I don't have super high expectations for Maudie's anymore. We tried Cruzteca out in Sunset Valley about a month ago and I was pleasantly surprised. Cheese enchiladas were good. Drinks were good. I'll go back.

Never forget that Rivals had Foster ranked as the #15 overall player in the country in the 2021 class.

So they've got like 100 messican abuelas grinding down fresh ingredients in molcajetes in some sweat shop in Houston?

There's your sequel.

Duuuuude. Chill

That sucks. I really liked that bar. Pizza was fine but I never went there to eat. That being said, buying that building for $3m after sinking $200k just to cover day-to-day operations at a struggling dive bar doesn't seem like a prudent investment. And asking the general public to cover part of your $600k down payment is an interesting strategy. The people that are going to contribute to that are regulars. And regulars already spend all of their disposable income at your bar. But good luck!

I used to love it. But the last three times we've gone it's been total ass. My wife was a die-hard fan, but even she's out on it now. Maybe it's just the Slaughter location, which is closest to us. Still not sure why they don't bottle and sell the dona sauce. I'd buy that shit by the gallon, although I prefer the green sauce from El Pollo Rico.

Dude signed with Florida and then requested a release from his LOI because the NIL deal fell through. Which, I kinda get. But he seemed like a total pre-madonna on his way out.

That is a 14 year old. Holy fuck.

I'm surprised Taco Deli wasn't lumped in with these two in that article. All three overpriced, over-conceptualized tacos for day-drinking Circle C MILFs. It's kinda sad because I feel like the original Taco Deli on Spyglass was really good when they first opened 20 years ago...

Scrolled back a few pages and didn't see mention of this, but I grabbed tickets to see the Drive By Truckers playing Southern Rock Opera at ACL Live. Pretty stoked for this one.

That's a lot of fucking vowels.

My original post was in jest more than anything else, but I forgot this place is filled will humorless aspies who fixate only on stats and facts...and can't abide any speculation. Btw, I already acknowledged the fact I don't think helicopter parents made the difference in his leaving, but could have made the decision easier if said parents and player are above and beyond the usual delusion. I know coaches have to say all sorts of things to land a commit, and sometimes backing up the living room talk just isn't possible...but some parents (and/or player) will never get that through their skull and would rather trash the coach (or coaches) and school. I will say this: if Bo gets his kid drafted then he is more of a DL witch than I ever realized. Wait. You were joking? You thought the shit you were typing was funny? Also, you don't need to respond to every single person calling you an idiot. And if a ton of people are calling you a boring dolt, maybe shut the fuck up. You don't need to respond to every single person calling you out, Derka.

I made this fermented mango habanero hot sauce a few weeks ago. It’s fucking awesome. Tropical heat. It’s one jumbo mango, a Mediterranean orange pepper I got at central market, 13 habaneros, a large carrot, and a 2 inch piece of ginger. Fermented for two weeks. Blended with about 15 cloves of confit garlic. Added some of the fermenting brine and some of the garlic oil so that it emulsifies. Strained and bottled.

I'm sure there are no helicopter parents at LSU.

I'm a huge Colin Farrell fan. He's great in just about everything he does, especially when he's working with Martin McDonagh and Yorgos Lanthimos. I was also pissed when HBO didn't renew Perry Mason, so this might help fill the noir detective gap. Saw the first two episodes and really liked it. Excited about this one.

I don't see how Worthy slips to the 3rd round. I don't see how Sanders is still taken in the 2nd. And I don't see Sweat slipping to the 4th even with his DUI. But wtf do I know...

Weird way to close the post. Why would the opinions of Texas HS Football coaches be the first thing you feel you need to address when discussing how that would impact Alfred Collins and Vernon Broughton? I guess the inference is that the strong source is a Texas HS Football coach?

There are 4 pages on this thread over two full seasons. So not a lot. Not that this forum is a perfect barometer. I thought the season was pretty good. It's a pretty good show. I generally enjoyed it, but I never said to myself "A new Tokyo Vice is on tonight! Can't wait to watch it!". Also, can't imagine the budget for this show being shot in Japan is helping make the case for a third season.
