  1. I kind of agree on Mother's, everyone in my group however sees it as a must have. And yes, Felix's is good and Camellia Grill is a great spot.
  2. Port Of Call for Burgers Acme for Chargrilled Oysters. Parkway for Poboys. Central Grocery for Muffalettas. Mothers During this time of year a lot of the restaurants do reveillon dinners. My wife and I go to New Orleans around Christmas every year and have tried a few of them, all of them have been great, galatoire's is probably out favorite . Here's a link where you can see all the menus and prices (gotta scroll down to the bottom) https://followyourjoy.com/food-and-drink/ If you are traveling with family, a fun thing to do is go see the Christmas lights at City Park. And I think someone already said it, but if you have a car, use the casino to park, it's an easy walk if staying in the quarter. Looking forward to seeing all the Mean Green faithful in New Orleans.
  3. Looks like we lost a Mean Green friendly location here in Austin, Silo on 7th is now closed. Anybody know what happened?
  4. North Austin. I'll definitely try to make it out for a few.
  5. It just needs to be said, I totally called the Moreland walk off last night. Not saying I'm a baseball clairvoyant, but I'm totally a baseball clairvoyant. Going for the sweep today with Harrell on the mound. Go Rangers.
  6. It would be really really really awesome if we could get Chris Sale. A lot of the stories I've read have said that it would take Gallo (I'm fine with that) and Profar. I don't know that I'm good with shipping Profar out, especially since he can play every position in the infield, and now that Prince is out he will get more ABs. I'd like to see them perhaps talk to Tampa Bay about Matt Moore or Odorizzi. Tampa wants a power corner infielder, we have Gallo. Build a package around him and get another starter in here (preferably one with a few years of control). It's been tough to watch the last month or so, but I think the Rangers will be just fine.
  7. JD is going to have to build a bullpen before the trade deadline. He got some nice pieces last season, he can do it again this year...right? RIGHT?
  8. Complete meltdown in the 9th. That one was hard to watch, but at the same time probably a little fortunate to have even had a 7-3 lead at that point.. Nick Martinez had 5 walks, of his 84 pitches only 38 of those were thrown for strikes. He was upside down on his strikes and balls and we still managed to have a 7-3 lead going into the 9th (Martinez responsible for only 2 runs and Ramos for one). JD will definitely be looking to add to the bullpen this summer, which is our absolute biggest need.
  9. This is the correct answer. They also weren't really going to cover anybody that wasn't in the top 100 (that wasn't local). At least that's what I was told when I asked the writers at the Statesman...where I work.
  10. The Revenant is completely overrated. It should be called "Winter Landscape With a Grunting Leonardo Dicaprio and a Menacing Tom Hardy (Which Is Tom Hardy In Pretty Much Every Movie He Is In)" because that's pretty much all it was. I'm usually not one of those people that says the book is better, but in this case the book is waaaaaaay better than the movie. The movie basically used the characters, bear attack, and the revenge aspect of the story and left out the rest of the book out, and there was a lot of great stuff that could have been used. I expected way more out of the movie. Highly recommend the book, pass on the movie.
  11. Agreed, saw it this morning and thought it was great. Perfect mix of the old story in with the new. No one I know has seen it yet and it's driving me bananas not being able to talk to anybody about it.
  12. When Murray was recruited he was told that he could be a two sport athlete. From what I've heard it sounds like Sumlin may have taken that promise back. With a new OC coming in and and Kyle Allen transferring out, it sounds like Sumlin wants Murray to forget about baseball and focus on working with the new OC. Someone needs to tell this kid forget about transferring, just declare for the MLB draft.
  13. Giving an A-/B+. I like the Littrell hire a lot. I also like the OC and receiver coach hire. What I like so much is the coaching tree that these guys come from, the coaches that share that tree have been shown to be pretty good at this coaching thing. The OC is intriguing to me when looking at the success of the two other QBs (Kingsbury and Cumbie) that came through the Leach system. That said, two success' doesn't exactly show a pattern, but it is somewhat encouraging seeing what they have done. I would have really liked to get Ruff as a DC but I thought that was a long shot to begin with. Hopefully we just get somebody that can just keep us in games while our offense marches up and down the field scoring at will. I'd be ok with that.
  14. YEH!! Take that all of my UNT professors!!
  15. I'm pumped. Other than the hod bowl season this is the first time in a long time I've truly been excited about Mean Green football. I think the offense we are going to run is going to attract quality qbs and receivers and I think coach Littrell is going to be a dogged recruiter (as will Harrell). This is a complete breath of fresh air after what we went through last season. I may be looking through green glasses but I think we are about to turn a corner. No more announcers calling us NTSU and crap like that, It might not happen next season, but people are about to know who the hell we are. I'm ready for this thing to get going. Go mean green.
  16. Kyle Allen is leaving aTm. Lets get both of them!!!
  17. Maybe Katy Perry would jump on our bandwagon?
