  1. It was quite a few years ago when I think we went to it, but didn't Willie Mae's have an Uptown location too? Assume it's not still there.
  2. Excited about this large kid...think he might be a badass.
  3. I'm good with losing Hampton, since it looks like we're getting Waddle.
  4. Yep, people rarely mention Pelican Club, but it really is damn good, especially if you want to be in The Quarter.
  5. Yikes, a full week...you might die.
  6. In part because I'm a bit superstitious, we're retracing our 2019 Sugar Bowl steps (which worked out pretty damn well) and having a big lunch at Peche on New Year's Day...can't wait. There were tons on Texas fans eating/drinking there in 2019 and it was fun as hell. As you may recall, that was a prelude to mudholing UGA...yes, mudholing, since the score was not indicative of our dominance. Planning to hit Casamento's, Saba and maybe Turkey & the Wolf at some point. Looks like Toups Meatery or Costera (anyone been there?) on NYE. Also, will have to get at least one drink at Bouligny Tavern (one of my favorite bars in the city) on NYE, since that was a key stop in 2019 as well. I still can't believe this all fell into place so perfectly, because I was starting to truly believe we just can't have nice things. FAAFO!
  7. OU is gonna be Oct 12, so yes, we get them and UGA back-to-back😬.
  8. This shit deal with Brooks really put a damper on the win...even moreso than yet another solid choke attempt. The guy has been a total stud and hated to see him get hurt like that. Fuck. Gonna need CJ to step up big time.
  9. Good grief. KSU should be a night game...and Fox sucks badonk.

    Mediterranean

    Okay, went to Ezov on Fri and both food & service were very good. We went pretty early and it wasn't packed when we ordered, so that might've helped. Would definitely go back.
  11. Yep, great book and look forward to the movie.
  12. This. Now take the lame-ass Sark discussion elsewhere.
  13. Yep, getting into the stadium was significantly worse this year. It was mayhem...not nearly enough scanners, people climbing walls, etc. They gotta fix this somehow. Getting into the fair was another story. Usually it takes a while too, but this year they were just waving everyone in and there was zero checking of tickets where we entered. One nice part was no policing of drinks either, so waltzed right in with a cocktail. As for post-game at the fair, one good addition (or, I'd just never noticed before) was the unmanned coupon kiosks. Heard some say they weren't all working right, but I had no trouble and it damn sure beat waiting in the normal coupon hut lines.

    Sounds good and hopefully they have service tightened up some by now. Thanks for the info and planning to try it soon.

    Anyone been to Ezov? If so, curious to hear about it.
  16. Yep, best scene in the last show for sure. Like many, gonna miss this one.

    tOSU at ND

    I've rooted against ND since I was a kid, but found myself actively pulling for them last night. Ohio St. is the worst, as anyone who went to Columbus in 2005 can attest. Plus, Ryan Day seems like he might be a total piece of shit.
  18. Back in the day, after a 3rd down stop by the defense, the band would play an Eyes snippet and, as they ran off the field, the defense would get a big ovation from the crowd. I'm pretty sure this still happens in Dallas, but it absolutely didn't at the Wyoming game. I tried to do it and no one else did...not even the other olds on the west side. Not sure if it's because of the endless sound barrage we're beating to death here or not, but quite possibly. Regardless, I miss it and enjoyed acknowledging the D.

    Interesting that there is very little, if any, love for L'Oca d'Oro here. It's our go-to and consistently great.
