The Italy Thread
This thread has me psyched. The wife and I are heading to a friend's wedding this summer in Tuscany. In all, we'll have three days in Rome, two days in Florence, and two in rural Tuscany with exact locations TBD. Aside from places already mentioned, where are the best places to eat in Rome and Florence, and where else in Tuscany should we visit/stay? Siena is an early contender, but I'm interested to hear what y'all think.

The Man in the High Castle (all seasons)
Finished it last night. Thought it was an overall letdown.

Bachelor/Bachelorette/Paradise Catch-All
Watched some of last night's with the wife. The guy this year is such a dork it's cringe-worthy.

Albuquerque recs?
I'll be in town for approx. 24 hours. Anywhere I should go to eat while I'm in town (aside from Pollos Hermanos, of course)?

SURLY ROAD TRIP 2020: Baton Rouge - Texas at LSU, Sept. 12
If you look at the major secondary market apps, they're already for sale. I purchased mine through Vivid Seats. To be honest, I'm not exactly sure how it will work myself since there's no way tickets for the 2020 season have been printed yet; however, the tickets are fully guaranteed in case things go south. That said, I figured it was worth the chance potentially getting a ticket for "only" $250 seeing how much the ones in Austin were going for. I'll report back after the game to confirm whether I made a savvy, early purchase or fucked up.

SURLY ROAD TRIP 2020: Baton Rouge - Texas at LSU, Sept. 12
Thank you for starting this. I purchased a game ticket around Thanksgiving with the idea that our fan base was in the dumps at the time and theirs was distracted by several more important game on the horizon. I also booked refundable hotel rooms in both BTR and NOLA since I haven't decided where I'll be staying yet. Those hotels (in BTR, at least) will fill up fast if they haven't already. Have not yet purchased airfare.

Hindsight is 20/20- The 2019-20 Texas Longhorns thread
Was thinking of making the trip to Waco on Saturday for the Baylor game, but $25 just to get into that dump of an arena with school out of session? That place will be emptier than Christ's tomb.

Cobra Kai
Wow. Just binged the first two seasons, and I’m shocked at how good this show is. Can’t wait for season 3.

Realignment talk not going away
Move to a conference where our closest opponent is more than 800 miles away? Hard fucking pass.

Who is the young guy (not Mino) constantly interrupting Corby and Davy? He is fucking insufferable.

2019 Texas HS football
I'm thinking about checking out the Star for a game this weekend. What's the story on the Star? What to see/do? Where to park/eat? How do tickets work?

Shit My Kid Says
A while back, a WWII movie was on in the background, and my 4-year-old asked me why Japanese people don't have eyes.

Wives and the Stupid Shit They Say/Do
Not my wife, but a woman at work saw a hawk perched outside one of our windows. She asked if I thought it was a boy or a girl. I had no idea, but another woman said boy, because she's "pretty sure all hawks are boys."

Dallas | Sushi
I really liked Gui on McKinney for a long time, but it appears to have changed ownership and is called Ta-Ta now. Not impressed. The food quality slipped a little, but the price went way up. No plans anytime soon to return.
