More than likely he was told he would be fired if he didn't resign. Seems like fewer coaches and AD's are officially "fired" these days...unless you're Lane Kiffin.

Mich State and Ohio State fans must be having the time of their lives watching post Lloyd Carr Michigan just be one cluster fuck after another.

Is the Michigan AD job application up yet? I'll apply for anything that pays upper 6 figures.

Surprised at the level of disgust. Thought they were pretty tame, all things considered, unlike the more out-there road uniforms we wore in Stillwater.
I like that they are primarily black and all the Texas flag stuff is pretty much just accompanying detail.

Hot damn. Though knowing Michigan they'll probably double down on Brandon n' Brady. Dat cashflow.
You could be getting some good news after the game on Saturday. For Florida fans sake, they should probably hope Muschamp gets embarrassed. If he somehow pulls out a win, it'll only prolong the agony.

I don't know who's happier around here, Michigan fans or Ohio State fans, as it seems like some of the most vocal Brandon detractors lately have been Buckeyes.
So here's to Michigan's new AD and coach smoking Ohio State for the next decade.
Hail to the victors valiant.

How much do you want to spend?
I can get you good recommendations at anywhere from 50 bucks up to 1000 for two.

"Yaboosh" is Seminole for "big money."
That's really unfortunate looking.

Super OT, but here we go:
General Advice: If you've heard of it (Cronuts, Magnolia, etc) it's probably a bad idea. Long lines, food usually stops being good a few months after opening because of volumes they have to produce.
Pizza - Grimaldi's is good stuff, but the line isn't worth it. John's on Bleeker is good stuff and is in the city so it's less of a hassle to get to. Most of the good stuff is in BK and not the super cool parts.
Southern - It's gone downhill a bit, but Jacob's Pickles in the UWS is good stuff. It's in my hood and we make it there reasonably often.
B. Café - Belgian. Muscles and Frites is amazing. They have a few locations
Mermaid Inn - Good seafood, good atmosphere, they have 2-3 locations around the city. Good Cocktails.
The Dutch - My go to "nice but not insane nice" place. May be hard to pick up reservations now because it's pretty popular. About 200 with drinks for two. Mind you, you are paying NYC prices. So this is unfortunately "not insane nice"
Parm - Great Italian, good atmosphere
Alder - Wylie Dufryse new joint since WD40 closed. Molecular Gastronomy stuff. I ate a Christmas tree once.
Keens Steakhouse - This is the classiest old school steak house in the city. Anyone who sends you to a tourist trap in Brooklyn doesn't know.
Eleven Madison - Suplanted Per Se as my go to insanely expensive eatery. Went here last week for my anniversary. About 750 for two with drinks.
Le Bernadin and Jean George - My go to "second tier" insanely expensive eatieres. You can get out for 400 or so if you don't do the tasting menu.
Drinks -
Classic NYC Cocktail - Monkey Bar, it's like Bemmelmen's without the cover and you don't have to listen to Woody Allen play clarinet. They typically have a nice piano playing standards on the weekends. I have a well worn path here. It's also near 5th avenue shopping (and my church, which makes it easy to pop over to if I go to evensong)
Speak Easy - I like the Little Branch and Dead Rabbit (go upstairs at the Dead Rabbit, not the bar at street level). There are a ton of good ones, Death & Co is my favorite cocktail, but hard to get into. PDT is "over" but the drinks are still good. There is a really good one in Long Island City whose name I always forget.

I almost went here when I was visiting with friends. I got outvoted and they wanted to go to some shitty, overpriced BBQ place near Times Square. Ugh. They thought Keens was too expensive, so we go get BBQ and I think it was about $30 a plate, and it was the worst BBQ I've ever had.
Oh god, Texas game watching used to take place at Hill Country NYC and it was the worst shitty Texas crap ever.
They had OK sausage BC they bought it from Kreutz's in Texas.
Everything else was just bad.
Now we don't have anywhere to watch games BC all 4 of our game watching bars booted us because they couldn't get the longhorn network and attendance dropped like a rock.

Honestly, I think NYC has to be a horrible place to try to find good BBQ. I'm sure it exists at some hole in a wall place, because NYC has everything. but still. I think those bars were helping you out by not letting you watch the Texas games this year.

You won't find good southern smoked bbq, but you'll find other national styles (rodizio, korean etc).
New York doesn't have good southern-style BBQ (talkin' Memphis/Carolina/Texas kinda BBQ) that I know of. Not in the city, at least. There are some decent BBQ joints off Long Island though.
I didn't realize they're rebooting American Gladiators.
I just think it's kinda sad that they're trying to brand themselves as "The Team of Texas" when I'm not even sure TTU fans think of them that way.
Korean BBQ is really good, but that's disappointing to hear. Then again, if I go to NYC to visit, it's not to look for BBQ.
For me, the only kind that exists is Memphis/Carolina style. I do still enjoy brisket and Texas style, but KC style is much too sweet. I prefer my BBQ more savory or even spicy, but sweet is awful.
Everyone knows Memphis and Carolina BBQ are the only two that matter.
I guess the incest affects your taste buds down in sec land.
You must not know many Texans. Whether we think we're "The X of Texas" or not we look for every available opportunity to throw the flag or state outline on something.
That doesn't excuse that monstrosity.
Mostly true.
You have to give the best meat on earth, aka pork, it's proper place in the BBQ hierarchy.. The top. Whole hog is really the way to go, but pulled pork is pretty great and ribs are always good too. Brisket is something I'd never really had that much while I lived in the south, but it's pretty damn good. I've made it myself once and it turned out really well. It's just so expensive anywhere that's not Texas.

My girlfriends firm works a lot with that furniture company, I told her theyre no longer allowed to support them
Truth be told, I don't it think its worst thing in the world since there's so much good bbq in the south. Why go to NYC for what you can get at home?
Ideally, you would want to go the NYC for the top end stuff (stuff like Perse, Le Bernadin, Daniel and Eleven Madison Park), or one of the better Ramen places, stuff that you really couldn't get at home.
edit. I do think Stooge is too harsh on Peter Luger's, place is legit.
