New Orleans Food and Drink Thread
So I went to New Orleans over the weekend for my last single friend's bachelor party. These were my experiences/takeaways: First, I'll say that NOLA has always been one of my favorites places, and loved it when I was 22, 25, 26, and 29. Each of those times I either stayed on Canal or Bourbon, but now, it's painfully obvious to me that I have outgrown setting up base camp on Bourbon. I know I'm getting older, but it also seems a little trashier than it was 10-15 years ago. The shooting early Sunday morning only cemented my opinions. So, I look forward to returning, but staying elsewhere. As far as restaurants/bars/entertainment went, I didn't have much say in the matter for this trip, but of the places I went: Johnny's Po-Boys - been a favorite of mine for years. I thought this visit was only okay, but I also went near closing time so that might have affected the quality of the bread. Antoine's - good, but not great. The pompano was solid, as were their chargrilled oysters, but oysters rockefeller, which they claimed to have invented, were very mediocre-to-bad. Erin Rose - frozen Irish coffees were fucking excellent. Really hit the spot on the hot and humid mornings. Parkway Bakery & Tavern - in the Mid-City area. Excellent. One of the best po-boys I've ever had. Outside the Quarter, but would absolutely have again. Jacque Imo's - in Uptown. Solid, although, like Johnny's, don't feel like I got their best. They told me they were having to shut down for a couple weeks soon, so maybe they were low on stuff/effort. My panned rabbit wasn't particularly noteworthy this time around. Felix's - very good chargrilled oysters, probably better than Antoine's and certainly more affordable. Harrah's - fucked me hard. $25 minimums, but I actually had better luck at the $50 tables with fewer riff-raff. Looking forward to my next trip when I can hit up GW Fins, Commander's Palace, and more of the places y'all have recommended... but hopefully staying in the Garden District from now on.

SEC Basketball isn't coming to Dallas. Attendance when Big 12 was at the AAC was pretty spare. That said, I'd love to see postseason football and baseball in-state.

Does anyone know what time the SEC presidents are meeting tomorrow?

And some of you assholes still wish we were going west? We all dodged a bullet 11 years ago.

New SEC divisions and pods thread (Page 38 starts recent discussion)
Here's my preference: WEST DIVISION: Pod 1: Texas A&M OU Arkansas Pod 2: Mizzou Ole Miss Miss St. LSU EAST DIVISION: Pod 3: Alabama Auburn Vandy Tennessee Pod 4: Kentucky S.C. Georgia Florida Fits well geographically and is mostly equally competitive (except for maybe Pod 2).

Who wants to count all the inaccuracies in one tweet?

I think that depends on whether y'all pick up the likes of Tech, Okla State, and K-State. If so, there won't be enough of a Big 12 to reconstruct.

Who do y'all think the "1" will be?!?!?

Cosign. EDIT: I guess I'd prefer PAC over the ACC or BIG, but still. They're playing checkers while everyone else is playing chess.

This is awesome, thank you! Also really looking forward to some of these nicer restaurant recs when I'm back in the city without kids.

8- and 6-year-olds are boys; 4-year-old's a girl.

Tell me about New York City
The whole family's going to a wedding in CT in September, and we're spending a few days in the city afterwards. Advice on where to eat with an 8-, 6-, and 4-year-old in tow? We're staying downtown, but open to just about anywhere south or adjacent to Central Park.

2021 Texas Rangers
I'd headed to the new ballpark tomorrow for the first time and taking my boys (8 and 6). Anything we should make sure to see/avoid while we're over there?

Biggest complaint with this season finale is that it didn't really set up anything for next season.

I feel like I was in school when NC State swept us at the Disch in a late season DH.
