    I accidentally deleted the StrangeBrew thread...

    They should put “Who dropped the ball worse, us or Arkansas baseball?” as their witty billboard of the week and just let this blow over.

    OT: Best Crawfish Place

    Another vote for Clesi’s in Mid-City (New Orleans). Had some today, actually. It was $9/pound, which is nuts, but not uncommon this early in the season, and I had to get my fix. Outside of some backyard boils where the spice levels are delightfully off the charts and you need Pepto on standby...

    If you notice cracks in the turf of Scott Field, don’t be alarmed...

    that’s just Chief Maybe Next Deer laughing his *** off.

    Working from home? Love it or hate it?...

    Both. Love that I can lounge in the comfort of my home and appear somewhat professional from the waist up when needed for video conferencing, but do everything else on my own terms/pace. Hate it because staring at a screen all day can be maddening and I am too easily distracted or tempted to...

    New Orleans help

    Cannot recommend taking advantage of Coolinary enough. Make a reservation for Friday or Saturday night. Limited offerings in some cases, but it's some of the best deals in town (for 3-5 course meals) the entire month of August. Great for couples, great for small groups. I'm headed to MoPho...

    Football: Most Memorable Game. Next on the list... Kentucky.

    2008... we had an extra point blocked and missed a FG in the 4th quarter of a 14-13 loss. Sixth loss of the season and Bama was next, so we basically guaranteed a losing season and no bowl that day. It's memorable because of how disgusting the game was, but also how disgustingly drunk we got in...

    Looks like we'll get a shot at Nova in hoops...

    if we can take care of Tulane first. http://espnevents.com/myrtle-beach-invitational/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/07/Myrtle-Beach-Invitational-Horizontal.pdf Game times suck, especially given first two rounds are on weekdays, but this will be good for SOS.

    OT: Stranger Things

    Yeah, I had to check myself a few times this season and remember that it's a fantasy show with tons of inspiration and nods to 80s movies that also challenged suspension of disbelief in audiences for the sake of driving absurd yet entertaining plot lines.

    Who turned off their TV

    Before Jake led off the 9th, I accidentally switched audio sources on my living room sound bar to the Amazon music app on my computer, which was playing Earth, Wind, and Fire. After I watched him double to "Let's Groove," I decided not to switch back until the game was over. Watched and heard a...

    Like the SWAC 4 seed, difficult 2 and 3 seed though

    CMU is trash. This is essentially a 3-game series with Miami. Top-heavy regional, but we gotta be ready to beat anyone this time of year. Let's get it. Stanford is overrated in the polls, but an 11-seed is about right for them given their resume. Miami will be the best team we could possibly...

    We still are a top 25 team...

    Cuck?? I guess I know where you stand on a lot of matters, now. Either way, you're probably right that it's not the weakest **** I've ever seen... I apologize for the hyperbole. But that sentiment is still pretty damn weak. And your OP came off as a simple statement, not a "prediction."

    Today sucks, but let's please not devolve into a full-on garbage fan base...

    Absolutely. I think the main issue for our team right now is maintaining a strong mentality (and sticking to what you've worked on or what's worked for that particular game) when the pressure is on. It's mostly Howland's job to help us accomplish this, and I think we've made strides over the...

    We still are a top 25 team...

    This team had their shot at sustained support and blew it? One week of basketball? In January? A 12-3 team? This type of statement being public is the downfall of the internet. Given our recent history, to give up on supporting a 12-3 team in January is absolutely pathetic.
