Had no idea W’ville ever had a Chuy’s.  Shit.  

Schaumberg too, both closed 

Orland Park might still be going if you're desperate enough

True but imo it’s not quite texmex.  But good call.  Hit it often.  Even though Rick Bayless is brothers w Skip Bayless...

No shit?  I never knew they were brothers.  I haven't been to his restaurant but I have had probably 100 of his sandwiches at his torta place in O'Hare Airport.  That is actually one of the better food items you can get anywhere in the country as far as airports go.

Spent all my time at ENS which we non-so-affectionally called "the bathroom" or "the toilet" because all of those little bathroom tiles that lined the hallway walls.

I ate the heck out of the Indian bread.  Lots of egg rolls, turkey pockets, and strombolis too. 

If you have a bathroom with a smaller doored room where the toilet is, do you call that the toilet room or is it still just part of the bathroom?

I can’t imagine how good we could be with competent bagmen.

We have had competent bagmen before.  Think Mack Brown recruiting circa early 2000's but this time we would have real coaches and coordinators.

...yesxa recruiting coordinator is responsible for recruiting success of one of the greatest coaches of this generation....how will urban survive without him.....

 

Who was Mack's recruiting coordinator? I am sure Urban can find another bag man...I mean coordinator.....

nah bruh no bagman in the industry is matching what pantoni has done 

not signing him will make the urban hire lose some luster

WTF? Shady Grove closed. That was a very unique Austin place I loved.  The soul of Austin of old is pretty much dead anyway but this kinda made me sad. 

I did some design work with Mike Young this last year. He started Chuys, Hula Hut and Shady Grove. He got out no too long ago and started a whiskey company, Milam and Greene. Shady took a big post Covid hit and had to shutter.

Yup, grabbed some tacos this morning from there. A go-to spot. The one on South 1st and William Cannon goes hard as well.

It does. North Burnet a great location as well - although that's an Arandas. Never qiite understood the difference between the two tbh.

My mom saw Viggo Mortensen at the one on Burnet one time.

Maybe, but Nick Saban tried to get Tom Moffitt to leave LSU and go to Bama with him. Many consider Moffitt to be the best in the business. Moffitt sent his protege, Cochran, instead. I’d say it worked out ok for Saban. 
Supposedly Pantoni has a protege at Pitt. I would rather have Pantoni, but I bet we’ll be ok.

Assuming he had already been bought out and it was under different ownership because I fail to understand how the Chuy's fortune couldn't keep Shady afloat.

Did you say Pitt?  You mean the same city that was on the Kendra Scott Express flight plan?  The Pitt stop confused me.

They sold Chuys three years ago and I think shady had recent new owners as well.

Especially next year when players can be paid for use of their likeness. “We have a car dealership that wants to put a cardboard likeness of your in their dealership and they’ll play you $100,000. You in? It’s called longhorn foundation Ford. No relation.”

if true about urban & strength coach but not the director of recruiting it will be anticlimactic unless urban hires a bagman to replace him
he is the reason behind the outlandish recruiting classes at uf & osu 

If he comes here he could get a crack head off the street to be his recruiting director and still land the top class in the country.

You are correct. I misspoke a meant he stepped away personally.

They typically have several. Moffitt pumps them out at LSU. At one point, FSU, UF, Bama and Ole Miss all had head S&C coaches who had worked under him. That was several years ago. May be more now.

That's awesome. You may have me beat. I tried the Turbo T Man once. It was just too tricked up and I immediately switched back.

I guess recruiting coordinators and strength coaches are different, but the guy at Pitt may be more recent than 2017. Or whoever said the guy at Pitt was a protege could be wrong. I’m just regurgitating what I read over 100 pages ago.

From an old Athletic article on Pantoni:

Five of Pantoni’s former recruiting assistants are now directors of player personnel at FBS programs. That includes Eron Hodges, recently appointed to head up Jeff Brohm’s recruiting efforts at Purdue, which hosts Ohio State on Saturday night. Giglio at South Florida, Derek Chang at Texas, Adam Caltury at Rutgers and Mark Diethorn at Virginia Tech are all part of Pantoni’s tree.

Adam Caltury is now at Pitt
