  1. Are these BBQ joints owned by aggy alums or boosters? If so they need to update Smolik's in Mathis because it's now owned by Greeks who own the U&I Restaurant and Nikos among others in Corpus. I don't think they are aggy, but who knows? And even under the previous owners, it was decent BBQ. But it's not destination place exactly other than being off I-37. Personally you go the Butters in Sinton for much better BBQ.
  2. You haven’t been to the Burnt Bean I see? Talk about slow and inefficient. Speaking of lines…. How fast does the line move at Leroy & Lewis? It’s been on my try list for awhile and I will up that way in a few weeks and want to give a try finally.
  3. I never understood how that gap was facilitated and allowed to be overlooked.
  4. Early 80’s. Made the jump to 1-AA right after they won their last national title in D2 in 1982. That was also Jim Wacker’s last year at SWT.
  5. Your second paragraph is great observation. Of course the big money donors voices are still heard, but they and a clueless BOR and Admin are not micromanaging the ship like they did in they did under Deloss and certainly in the period between Deloss and Del Conte. CDC was given a standing order to do what he needed to do to right the ship not only with the football program, but others too.
  6. All of this! This is why I’m a Sark fan. You can read into this interview as well as others he is humbled to be the Head Coach of the University of Texas and he’s not taking it for granted. He wants to be a generational type coach much like Saban and he has every tool at his disposal to do this. Most of us who are around Sarks age have been through the dumps or might be currently going through them like I am with the layoff thing. Then something happens and maybe unexpectedly on the good side to get you out of that situation and with time you look back and see where you where you were at and where you are now and don’t want to go back to that low point. Sark has a good thing going in Austin and doesn’t want to go back.
  7. Yep. To think some of us have seen Texas State grow from a DII school to now a member of what was or is a power conference (don’t know if they still have that status?). Crazy how much things have changed in San Marcos.
  8. U of H Victoria to become aggy-Victoria on Sept 1. https://www.swineweb.com/latest-swine-news/texas-am-victoria-joins-am-system-with-25m-boost-eyes-agribusiness-expansion/
  9. Meanwhile in Oklahoma last night.
  10. What was that all about?
  11. I heard the family was at odds, but this really filled in the details or at least some them. Certainly there is more I bet Hopefully this doesn’t end horribly.
  12. I’m not a cruise fan after doing a few in the Caribbean/Mexico. BUT I would make an exception for doing a Mediterranean and Scandinavia cruise in the future. Upside with those two destinations is you make stops at Ports almost everyday save maybe one for a “day at sea”. And the ship will arrive early and leave late due to the proximity of the next Port or even overnight. This gives you ample time to explore on your own vs taking packaged excursions.
  13. B&B was acquired by Duraflame in 2021. That might be the answer. But HEB to the rescue. I’ve used the Mesquite version and it burns nicely https://www.heb.com/product-detail/central-market-oak-lump-charcoal/1633408
  14. Has to be Pig. Two choke jobs for them vs one for aggy.
