Post of the year?

More importantly, he made some mean chicken tenders.

poor Blake Dunham... look at whats' gone and... shat (all) over hiz thread.

there's a 5 guys right by my house... it's good. Anyone who's been to Mooyah has basically been to 5 Guys, since it's very apparent Mooyah copied the 5 Guys model. Both serve the burger and fries in a paper bag with a cup of overflowing fries, burgers are the same size served the same way, even taste very similar.

Backing up the McPherson love on this thread. Good dude, heckuva teacher. Had him for International Trade, and can back up everything anyone else has already said. The Redskins came up more than a few times (he's beaten, but loyal), he wore NT polos at least every other class, and it always cracked me up because he brought his stuff to class in a NT Under Armour backpack. Good guy, great teacher.

is this the failed, short lived 103.3 spare who did tickers and filled in on the occasional weekend or whatnot? Tell me he's not the barometer for SA sports talk... That's like Ty Walker becoming the biggest thing in Houston or somesuch.

Gagree. No way in Hades he leaves, but if he hit one of those spots (or Miami), I can't root for them. The dude is my favorite basketball player of all time, but I have limits.

Good call on Katz's. Very decent burger there.

Yeah, let's drop the "7 seed" business. After 4 games in each series, not a single higher seed led their series in the Western conference. Every single playoff team had 50+ wins. Seeds are basically irrelevant here.

Yep! With the Carls Jr. next door, all we need is an In n' Out and that stretch is little fast food California.

Wow. disappointing. LOVE their burgers, maybe my favorite in the entire metroplex, not just Denton. They have actual servers, so I kind of categorize their service on a different level from the counter service places w/o actual "service"... either way, love the place. More of a gourmet burger than the basic ones thrown down at the DC locations, so I'm sure it's a taste thing for many. Agree on the old Bari's. What a downhill slide that's been. Every time I see a list like this, I miss the Texas Pickup.

no offense to Denton County or Rooster's, but any Denton Best Burger list that doesn't mention RG's is flawed.

You know who could surf the hell outta some RedTube?? Ryan Leaf.

Though I feel pretty strongly that McCoy vs. Leaf is the most unnecessary sports argument happening almost anywhere right now, I'm somehow compelled to chime in. While I agree that people tearing down McCoy's achievements or character just because they hate the logo on his helmet is silly, I also DON'T think it's off the rails crazy to argue Leaf was as good or better as a college QB. I think Leaf being Jamarcus before Jamarcus has tainted some of his legacy. Some thoughts - McCoy started for four seasons, Leaf for two. They each lost 8 games in their college career, so you can argue that Leaf lost twice as often - that said, Leaf was also playing at WASHINGTON STATE. The Coogs hadn't been to a Rose Bowl for 67 years before Leaf took them there, and had a history of mostly futility. They are one of the lowest profile, lowest funded teams in their conference, and have only managed to so much as qualify for 3 bowl games in the 13 years since Leaf left. Meanwhile, McCoy took over at a storied program coming off a national championship with essentially unlimited funds and facilities, surrounded by the best talent available. The number of NFL players surrounding McCoy is staggering... not so with the mostly mid-range bunch around Leaf... and while you might say Texas played OU, etc. in that time, WSU played SC, Arizona State, etc. In his best statistical season, Colt McCoy averaged 297 yards passing and 2.6 TDs per game. In Ryan Leaf's best season, he averaged 331 yards passing and 3 TDs per game. They each ended the season with a loss with the national title on the line...one at Texas, one at Washington State. McCoy definitely has Leaf in the completion percentage category - At his best, McCoy completed passes in the low-mid 70s percentile, a ridiculous number. Leaf generally completed passes in the mid-high 50s range. That said, over each of their best two seasons, McCoy threw almost 10 passes per game MORE than Leaf, a considerable number - yet Leaf averaged 34 yards more per game. One made a living of very accurately throwing short, the other racked up big plays at a much more frequent clip. Despite getting so many more yards per attempt and per game, Leaf wasn't much more prone to turning the ball over than the low yards per pass safe style often employed by McCoy - over this same span, McCoy threw .77 INTs per game, Leaf .9. This is not to belittle McCoy in any way - I've got nothing against him, think some of the comments here were crazy, and I think most people (myself probably included) would take him over Leaf to start a college team. But I'm just saying to those who so quickly dismiss this argument as ludicrous - Ryan Leaf was one hell of a college QB. I'd have LOVED to have seen what he could have done with Texas talent and Texas resources. It's a fair debate. No retard-calling necessary.

Tommie Frazier, Tee Martin, Jay Barker, Gino Torreta, Greg McElroy, Ken Dorsey, Craig Krenzel, Matt Mauck, Josh Heupel, Eric Crouch, Billy Joe Hobert, Jay Barker, Shawn Jones and dozens of others would like a word with you.

is Scott Drew involved? Then look for something shady. Gotta be an AAU coach hired somewhere for something, right?

It's been really jarring driving by campus this week. A very sudden demolition of the old Radisson is well underway, with half of the building already gone and the insides creepily exposed. It's moved VERY quickly, and it pretty exciting (and kind of shocking) to see a big part of the Denton landscape gone... looks like this crazy stadium business is ACTUALLY happening (as I take every chance to remind myself..).

..because FC Dallas doesn't sell papers or get ratings. In fact, it does almost the opposite on the local sports media front. Look, I live in Frisco, I've been to games, I'm not a Hoops (the team, not the sport) hater, and I dig soccer at least a bit. But comparing the team formerly named after a gonorrhea symptom to the Mavs, Boys, Rangers, or Stars is silly. FCD has averaged less than 12k a game over their entire history, including a year when they averaged sub-8k in a 11k seat high school stadium. They've never averaged more than 15.4k a game for any season, and many of these fans are spanish speaking... I'm not sure what sort of coverage FCD gets in the local Spanish media, however. Fact is, I root for FCD and loosely follow them, but they're a professional sport in so much as the Dallas Vigilantes or Frisco Roughriders are, and get covered more than appropriately in this market.

Also, consider the sheer number of games... since I feel like I know where you're going with the "do baseball fans fall off that fast" quote, look at it this way - if two essentially hopeless EPL clubs played about 5 or 6 games a week, imagine the attendance dropoff. Right now, for instance, Wigan Athletic is 5th from the bottom in the EPL standings.. not good, but not a horrid bottom feeder... they play 3 or 4 games a month, so NFL numbers. Yet they average 17k attendance (Sun Belt numbers) in a 25k stadium. Now, IMAGINE if they played 5 or 6 games a week. Sure, they'd fill it up for Man U or Chelsea, but not for most teams (as made obvious by the numbers). Note: I'm not bagging on the EPL or soccer in general... Just making a comparison using the sport you know and understand and has famously rabid fan bases... that "fall off that fast" as much or more so than American baseball fans.

The Tribe has been competitive or on the fringes of competitive entering just about each season since Jacobs Field (now Progressive) opened... even recently, they had a bonafide ace and a lot of "team on the rise" buzz. Now, they've shipped Lee off, fired their manager, and have zero expectations. Combine that with a mid-work week "getaway game" (12pm EST first pitch), and it's a recipe for all time low crowd numbers. Meanwhile, look at the start the O's have gotten off to. 1-6. Their season is already over in an impossible division. Done. They've been non-competitive for quite a while, and it's got to feel near hopeless in that division. I didn't note the start time for their game.

What Emmitt said.... while it's true that we saw this offense unable to run and rely on the pass quite often with Vizza and Meager in the game, one minor detail to consider is that that was the Todd Dodge high school offense. This ain't.

prove it.

Per Tim MacMahon's Twitter feed. Arm problems move Dodge permanently to WR.

You mock now, but how about clicking the link right below the "story" where you can begin to "plan for the coming collapse of civilization!"... who'll be laughing THEN, you pinko hippie scum?

No, you're just not a Python fan. No worries. No crusades here.
