Gary Patterson doing booster relations is not something I saw coming. GP can give away autographed game used sweat towels for box level donors.   

That’s because it’s not happening and FCB is a moron.

Right now, we know Sark is an elite OC. Every other part of him being a good HC is either unknown or worse. The optimistic case for this situation is Patterson really does want to step back and assess his career for a time and is content with an off-field role where he helps Sark learn the other aspects of being a HC and helps the defense make major improvements in scheme  and personnel.
 

The pessimistic case is Patterson is a raging asshole who thinks he knows best and will cause all sorts of management and personnel nightmares that Sark is clearly not capable of handling.

So, what you're saying is...

The optimistic case is Sark doesn't know what he's doing, and can only be unfucked if GP helps him.

The pessimistic case is Sark doesn't know what he's doing, and GP is going to make this a bigger clusterfuck.

I like Hop Doddy fries and shakes. I haven't been since covid though and it has probably been 4 years since I've had their shakes.
I used to go to Cliff's off Fountainview in Houston. I'm sure it has changed since 20 years ago when I last ate there.

In Houston:

Lankfords (mentioned up thread somewhere),
Becks Prime, with queso for the fries,
And Prince’s.

Most of this opinion is because y'all have gotten older and have experienced better food. So fast food seems more like it really is, which is not exactly culinary heaven. The younger you are the better fast food burgers seem. 

It's the IDGAF service as much as anything else. Every Whataburger within reasonable distance of where I spend the majority of my time (I live near Love Field) is staffed by IDGAF employees. Whataburger's service is only marginally better than Popeye's, which might be the absolute worst on the IDGAF scale.

When I was in high school at Crockett in Austin, we had a short stop across the street.  Always remember that those burgers hit the spot and my budget. Never been to another Short Stop since that one closed.

We had a Short Stop in SA when I was in HS. Fantastic burger. It was either there or Sombrero Rosa, which kicked Taco C's ass BTW, where teenage me was spending his weekly allowance money on fast food.

Beck's Prime was pretty good back in the day. I assume Pappas or Goode Company have a burger joint and it is probably solid.

I prefer to think of the phrase "out of control" as a relative adjective personally. It just means whatever I need it to in a given situation. Constantly checking the recruiting board to witness the last couple of weeks updates knowing there would be no substance? Definitely out of control for me.

Prince's is down to one location in the clubhouse at the Sharpstown Golf Course. Their hours are spotty, like somebody didn't show up for work so they're closed for the day kind of spotty, so I would call ahead. 

Becks Prime slams. I don't think anybody will fight you on that.

Gentlemen this is Texas we are discussing. You can take the optimistic case and toss it into the most convenient refuse containment receptacle.  
 

let’s deal with worst case and minuscule  improvement from worst case.

Not really true.  We know about him as a head coach because he has a head coaching record at two different Power 5 schools.  The question -- as many have noted -- is whether Sark's sobriety, experience, and maturity since those head coaching jobs will help produce a different and better outcome as a head coach at Texas.  So far, not so good.

Pour one out for all these joints.

 

 

And showing DFW some love on the burger front-> Keller’s Drive In is a tasty burger and the OG Kincaid’s on Collinwood/Camp Bowie in Funky Town/Town o’the Cow…aka “The Fort”…all the other locations pale. (🖕🏻 southlake😂)

And Pappas burger is solid.

I was thinking about Holiday House while readingthe thred yesterday.  That was a good old school burger.

Golden parachute?  Pretty sure TCU is covering that.  I just think the guy still wants to coach and not leave a place he's lived for over 2 decades.  All these grandiose conspiracy theories about fucking over TCU and meddling are purely fanfiction.

Plus he was directly recruiting against us so of course he went negative against Texas, but he's not the head coach at TCU anymore.  Fuck him for that but now he's helping us get better.

Besides, anything he said probably wasn't a lie - our play on the field for the last 12 years was all the recruitment ammo other schools needed.

i agree with everything you said. hes not sticking it to tcu or sabotaging anyone, i just think that after the last 21 years there was 1 place that he hated above all others and it was no secret to anyone that it  was The University of Texas.  

[Fondren & Main 6,703]

Fair enough.  I could easily see him taking this position especially if he doesn't have to recruit and can play guitar at the local clubs.  Hell, he could afford to buy another home in the Austin area and commute back and forth and not really affect his lifestyle.

In my humble opinion, the best burger in houston was at "Houston's" on Westheimer.  They closed that location and I believe its on Kirby.  But man, that burger was something else...

[MAGS® 400]

Floyds in Pearland or off the freeway have the best burgers on south side of town.   Yes, the cajun resturant...  makes no sense but bar none the best down here.

I want to say they are owned by a restaurant group.  Maybe Hillstone?  Not a ton of stores but that one on Westheimer used to be one of my favs.  Real old school atmosphere.  Dress code.  Low lighting.  Private tables.  Music low.  Old school steakhouse vibe.

I just checked.  It's still in Irvine, but I "mis-remembered" the location.  It's on Jamboree, the next exit down from SNA.

Despite the name, it started in Nashville in 1976 (the founders were from Texas). Ironically it no longer exists there or in Houston under that name. The Kirby location is now Hillstone, which operates restaurants under many names, including Houstons. Weird. I've heard conflicting stories about J Alexanders, which seems like a clone, regarding who borrowed from whom.

Bottom line is that I've always been a fan. Yes, very good burger, but that Hawaiian Ribeye is what brings me back.
