  1. A couple of weeks ago my wife got excited and brought home a 4-pack of pumpkin tallies from someone or another. I don't ever want to discourage her from buying and bringing me beer, so I opened a couple of them and poured them into glasses for us. She took one sip, grimaced, put the glass down. She waited 5 or 10 minutes, took another sip, and just shook her head. "Nope." I smiled and shrugged and said something like, "Well, they can't all be winners. But you know what's always great in the fall? Oktoberfest!" A couple days later, there were multiple varieties in the fridge-- Live Oak Oaktoberfest, Haker-Pschorr Oktoberfest, Ayinger Oktoberfest, and another one I can't recall. She's a good woman.
  2. Game is in Baton Rouge, LSU has yet to lose a home game against the Ags since they joined the SEC, even when LSU has fielded mediocre-to-bad teams. This year won't be any different.

  4. Let's hope so. I'd hate for the 8-4 dream to perish just because Mizzou couldn't get it up...
  5. If you want to stick around in the Quarter, I've watched several football games at the The Corner Oyster House off Jackson Square, right at the corner of St. Peter and Decatur. They have enough TVs that you can probably catch whichever games you're interested in. Food and drinks are good enough, pretty standard New Orleans fare.
  6. Are any of you that follow xtwitter or instagram seeing anything from the teams? I'm not on either, but it's always fun to see y'all post up what the guys are doing around town, in the week leading up to the race.
  7. I see @LSU and @Texas as pretty much certain losses for the Ags. I'm not sure I see two other losses on the regular season schedule, though. Still, they do tend to aggy things up.
  8. Thranduil the Elven King in The Hobbit movies Ronan The Accuser in Marvel's Avengers movies Joe MacMillan, an OG 80s Tech Bro, on AMC's Halt and Catch Fire Brother Day of Empire, in Apple's adaptation of Isaac Asimov's Foundation
  9. Yes, for sure on the lack of shade whilst watching on-track action. As far as non-track shade, I'm not sure I'd say there is "enough", especially not on Saturday and Sunday. But there is certainly "some." And on Friday it's generally less crowded all around. On Saturday it's nice to find one of the tents with TVs, they often have college football on. And on Sunday, everything is a shitshow. We usually stay close to our seats and just sit down well ahead of time. Yeah I don't recall there ever being only one support series. It's bad.
  10. I knew it. brisket loves beans in chili.
  11. Could be they added shade in some places? I don't know. Not in my seats in T15, they're down in the middle of the wall of grandstands. Honestly on Friday you probably don't need to worry too much about shade while watching the on-track events, because sadly there just aren't many of them. An hour for FP1, 30 minutes for Porsche Carrera Cup practice, and then 45 minutes for F1 Sprint Qualifying. I wouldn't bother with paying extra for shaded seats, I'd just watch all of those from wherever you like, and duck into the tents or other shaded areas when there's nothing happening on track-- which will be most of the day.
  12. Maybe this hoodoo jinx will work, we can hope. I'll be there too. I've been to all of them since 2012, and we've only had rain at a couple. 2015 featured torrential downpours for most of the weekend. Other than that, it's usually cool in the morning, cloudless and toasty in the afternoon. ETA: If you have any questions or want any pointers on how to handle F1 at COTA, there's some discussion in the Other Sports forum on the F1 thread, and also some tips and talk on the COTA seems like it sucks thread.
  13. I walk across the bridge to the infield and through the tunnel pretty regularly. It's a bit longer but not terrible. However, if that's the ONLY way to go, then it becomes more problematic. On Friday it shouldn't be terrible, and on Sunday I don't bother walking around, I just hang out at the T12 hospitality tent and then get to my seats in T15. Saturday could be an issue.
