Urban Meyer or bust
I know that's not happening, but it would be bad ass.

Urban Meyer or bust
Correct, and the Fox coverage of our games has been f'in horrendous. Now, back to Urbs saga.

Tom "the turtle" Herman [Lame Duck or greatest 5d chess player ever?]
I searched for a minute and I'm not finding clear discussion concerning a 12/1 date, but probably because I didn't try hard enough. Where was this covered and definitively debunked? I ask because I heard from someone (secondhand, but allegedly from a big knocker in Dallas) that 12/1 was the CTH axe date because there was some kind of payment reduction event that occurred then. Curious, since this Larry guy is tweeting the same shit now.

The Queen's Gambit (Netflix)
SIAP...it's really good. Yes, the primary subject is chess, but we are hooked nonetheless.

Joshua Moore might be gone
Great story and appreciate the fact that Herman stuck with him/gave him the opportunity to turn it around. Sounds like a good kid who just f'd up and then worked hard to make it right. Dude has been nails so far and obviously hoping he has a monster year.

DKR planning for 50% capacity for the fall
I may have missed it but, under this 50% scenario, how will student seating work? We're not talking about the entire crowd being the 50% group of tired old season ticket holders like me? I've thought all along that the students need to be there, if we're really going to have people at these games. They make the atmosphere, when the scene in DKR is best, plus my youngest will be down there now and I'd rather him go than me. I guess I'll hang on for now, especially since he may need them.

His film was unbelievable.

New Orleans Food and Drink Thread
With kids in mind, but all really good regardless of age: Jazz - Preservation Hall Good burger - Company Burger Breakfast - District Donuts Dinner - Jacques Imo's, Pizza Delicious, High Hat - Peche would be fine/fun with kids as well, as long as they're semi-adventurous eaters

I understand what you mean about Commander's. It's damn good and I enjoy the atmosphere, but I have to walk back my "last place before dead in a ditch" call above. I was there a few weeks ago and, while CP was very good (as always), everyone in our group thought our meal at Upperline the day before was markedly better. I've been to Upperline several times, but it had been a while and I forgot how strong it is. Everything was excellent so, if you haven't been, put it on your list. Also, instead of the usual Domelise's/Parkway/Casamento's for lunch, we tried Turkey and the Wolf. Different, but would definitely go back.

Only watched the first couple of minutes but...I gosh.

New Orleans Food and Drink Thread
You have the drink/bar question covered and I can't really add to your list. Lots of other bars I like, but can't think of another with a strong drink association. I'm thirsty now. As for the last NOLA meal, that's a tough one, for obvious reasons. But, pre-ditch, I guess I'd have to go with Commander's or Upperline.

Asheville, NC
Also, Buxton Hall BBQ was pretty good.

Asheville, NC
We also went a couple of summers ago. Cool town, especially if you're a beer person. Things I remember that are worth checking out: Our best meals were Rhubarb and Curate Biltmore - worth seeing Mt. Pisgah Trail - good hike We stayed at the Indigo. Good location & reasonable.

Expectations for 2020 season
Don't know about next season, but those glasses are cool. Want.

If it's Angelo Brocato (would surprise me if they were at the airport though, because it's old school), definitely go to the original near City Park. We love that friggin place.

Solid lineup. LPG has risen up my list. Great food, pretty damn good value (lower corkage fee than some as well) and good location for us. Try the turtle bolognese, if you've never had it there...unusual, but tasty. Also, love Shaya and it is close to where we stay as well (since right by LPG). Want to try Saba, but not been yet So many good Uptown options we love...LPG, Shaya, Upperline, Casamento's, Coquette, Patois, and on and on. Ready for a NOLA trip now.

It is strong. Way better brunch than my only time at Willa Jean.

Chicago
On last visit there, the food highlights were: 1. Giant 2. QXY 3. The Publican Would go back to all three in a heartbeat.

The Miller kid is a beast.

Texas Recruiting Notes 2020
Um, negative. Just think it's a cool first name and, if he's worth a shit (is he?), it'd be cool to hear Herman talk about a guy named Bear in a presser.
-
Texas Recruiting Notes 2020
If we don't get a dude named f'in Bear (assuming he's a take/wanted), I think I might cry.

Yep, bring his scrappy little ass on.

Texas BBQ
Went there for lunch on Saturday and it was damn good. Had the pastrami sandwich with swiss, slaw and a good sauce. The pastrami was excellent. Also, fyi, it's byob.

2019 Season Ticket Renewal
Anyone know where I can find the face value ticket prices for each game? I know they vary based on location and who the opponent is, but I'm having trouble finding these numbers anywhere. They used to print them on the tickets but, again this year, my season tix don't have the prices on them.

OU Football 2019 - Pummeling the Shit Out of Women, Common Decency & Defensive Fundamentals
"Should OU lose Hurts in a tragic scenario where one of his teammates drunkenly beats him into a coma, cuts his neck open with a screwdriver, or breaks his jaw thinking he's a woman, and he goes down for a month or more, Tanner Mordecai is the replacement and he’s as prepared as okie high school students are for future life success." Excellent sentence and thread title. Kudos.
