This is a position that Sark must address in the spring.

It’s not quite barbecue, but I consistently have spectacular meals using Snake River Farms Wagyu tri-tip. Cook it in a sous vide with herbs and butter, then sear it on the grill. Literally amazing every time.

I bought a Big Green Egg last year with a ton of accessories for temperature control, etc. It makes spectacularly good brisket and is so easy. I’ve done traditional salt and pepper rub and Salt Lick rub with great success. I never had any luck with pork ribs on my old Weber bullet, so I’ll be interested to see how they turn out on the egg.

After 5 1/2 years in Dallas I finally tried Pecan Lodge yesterday. I was immensely disappointed. It wasn’t terrible, but certainly didn’t reach the level of top end Texas barbecue. Of the places I’ve tried here in Dallas I would say Slow Bone > Cattleack > Pecan Lodge. I think Cattleack and Pecan Lodge are pretty close. Regarding Pecan Lodge, tried the following: - Brisket - moist with an OK crust, but a bit bland. Needed salt and something else. - Brisket burnt ends - the basting sauce provided more flavor than the brisket, but not a favorite - Pork ribs - decent flavor, slightly sweeter version of the brisket crust. I strongly prefer baby back ribs over these spare ribs. - Regular and Jalapeño/ Cheese Sausage - Decent flavor for both but the grind was very course. - Fried okra - good cornmeal coating and coked well, but under seasoned - Peach cobbler - the star of the show. Good sweetness, some oat? crisps, and a tasty filling to go with the peaches - Beef ribs - they were out, it happens Outside of Dallas I’m a big fan of Franklin’s, La Barbecue, Micklethwait, Louis Mueller, Salt Lick (I know, it’s covered in sauce and they use a lot of electric smokers), Pinkerton’s (Houston), and Killen’s. Franklin’s is excellent, even if you buy in bulk to avoid the line and then freeze and reheat it. For day-of accessible BBQ La Barbecue is my go-to. i also frequent Opie’s in Spicewood. Maybe not high end, but good respectable BBQ that’s convenient for me and no wait. I’ve had Snow’s, Cooper’s (Llano), and Luling City Market, but it’s been so long ago that I can’t remember the details. What are your favorite BBQ spots?

Going to need better shooting across the board, but the suffocating defense was impressive.

I think that post was poorly thought out, but obviously sent before Miller had been announced. Bilas thought we were getting a unicorn too!

I think I’m OK with that. Give Miller enough to prove that he can be successful and then go all in if he does.

I just hope Sark picks the best QB as starter this season and not just a guy because he has a couple of skins on the wall against low level competition.

Coin toss and Yes. I also want another head coach next year, but if RT somehow gets to the sweet 16 he probably gets another year.

RT keeping the dream alive

Win against the Ags and we’re in? Lose and RT is out. Seems about right, but might need one additional win to get in. I view tomorrow’s game as a win/win for Texas fans.

Met Vic at a tailgate last year. Seems like a really nice guy. The fact that he has that team playing lights out basketball is outstanding also.

Steve Sarkisian is helping some kids maximize their talent and get paid. Can’t ask for more than that as a college prospect. Hook ‘em

Looks like we’re about out of ass to kick also
