VIVO Cocina on Manor. Its upscale Mexican with great Mexican Martinis...ask for a host named Paige...and then ask why she doesn't return my calls, all I want to do is flirt with her a bit.

Then go to Magnolia Cafe on South Congress after 6th or for breakfast on sunday...they're open 24 hours and have the widest selection of foods.

Happy Birthday Fella...wish I could make it to Austin...you know, despite my lack of an invite.

Isn't this like admitting all you do is visit the football forum and you're too lazy to post somewhere else? :lol:

Atleast he knows about the other forums but realizes noone else visits him. You've gotta post to get the most traffic in the time allowed. An hour long post on the football board even though it gets bumped still covers more ground than a week long post on the non-sports board.

On Sunday morning, go to "Cisco's Bakery" on 6th street on the EAST side of the Interstate. an old time Mexican bakery. all the old state movers and shakers used to have breakfast there. LBJ, John Conley, Bob Bullock. Those type of Texans. Be sure to ask to "sit in the back."

And while you're in the neighborhood, go North a little to East 4th or 3rd, and visit the State Cenmtary. It's beautiful. And all the guys that used to eat at Cisco's, are now at the State Cemetary. Tom Landry is buried there as well. And there's a monument to those that died at 9-11 made from steel and concrete salvaged form the twin towers.

I disagree with Vivo. My wife got sick after eating there and drinks are WAY too expensive.

If you are going to shell out big money for Mexican food then the conversation begins and ends with "Fonda San Miguel". Here's your link. It's very good, but have your wallet open.

I have a favorite hole in the wall Mexican joint called "El Caribe". It's on N. Lamar just south of 2222 (Koenig). It is the absolute best bang for the buck. Maria's Taco Express is good as is El Sol y la Luna.

There's a lot of good BBQ. Once again if you want to shell out some bucks and don't mind a drive, then "The Salt Lick" is the place for you. Bring your own adult beverage. Stubbs, Iron Works, and The County Line are also good.

Local fare: You know there are SO MANY resaurants in Austin it's hard to pick one, but "Censored" is right about Magnolia Cafe, also Kerby Lane is good.

Have fun in our fare city. If you are going out drinking, The Warehouse dictrict is a little more chicish than 6th street. That's why I didn't go there too much, but the Gingerman is a cool bar. Also Fedo's (sp) Irish Pub is nice. Say hello to all the frat brothers there.

Shady Grove on Barton Springs is great. Very Austin.

Go to Mount Bonnell for a great view or Zilker Park and rent a canoe to go on the lake if you want to be outdoors.

Phil's Ice House is a great burger with an Amy's Ice Cream right next door.

One of my favorite places that I always drag my buds to when I go down there is Texas Chili Parlor on Lavaca between 14th and 15th. Park nearby and walk the block or so to the Capitol grounds, and then go to lunch here. A variety of Tex-Mex. although more Tex than Mex, never had a bad meal here. Do the chili, though, it's actual authentic Red and not overly tricked up (the diced onions and jalapenos come on the side for self-tricking). Don't let the decor fool you, enjoy the ambience. It's genuine Austin-weird, without being faked.

      Regarding scoring and end of game offense, I do like that we haxe options on clutch times versus the whole arena and defense knowing it was Edwards shooting.

      I felt like they were built on Scott and Jones who stayed with us through thick and thin. Yes Perry came and had quick success before running away, but he did have more consistency than I felt we have had the last two season. Stone and Sissoko are the only guys who have stuck it out and honestly neither are top caliber. We are full of juniors and seniors who will be one and done it seems.

      Would be interesting to see their offense vs our defense.

      Honest tactical question here…

      Morris has his scheme and identity. I think its a big reason we've had so much offensive success the last two year and I don't want him to change it. BUTTTTTTTT I do think he needs to improve his situational awareness and I'll give 3 examples... 1. Late in the FAU game we broke the 34 yard run to get to the FAU 5 with 1:43 left...at this point the clock is on our side and we should run it down and force FAU to burn their timeouts. But instead, Morris has us run to the line and snap the ball before any time can run after they reset the chains. Luckily, FAU stuffed us and eventually burned their timeouts and we scored with 58 seconds left. But imagine if we scored after the big run and gave FAU the ball back with 1:40 and 2 timeouts? Who would feel good about our chances stopping them then??? 2. Our defense shocks everyone and forces Tulane to punt on their first drive. Tulane then executes a great punt and downs it at the 6. We then come out and throw a pass for -1 yards, no huddle and quickly throw an incomplete pass, and on 3rd down its another incomplete pass. So, we're forced to punt the ball from our own 5 yard line after only having the ball for about 25 seconds. Evans has a measly 39 yard punt and 7 plays later Tulane scores a TD. IMO, its a prime example of Morris not understanding the situation and putting his defense right back on the field in a tough spot. Instead of quickly snapping after the -1 yard loss, we should have slowed down and made sure we called the best play to get us a first down. 3. And like others have said, it PISSES me off he refuses to run QB sneaks under center when we need less than a yard. You can make the case its a big reason we lost to Navy last year and it cost us this year against Army. I'd much rather Chandler Morris fall forward for a foot than snap it back 5 yards and hand it to our 5th string RB. There are other teams like us that strictly run shotgun, but are still able to lineup under center and fall forward. The only reason we don't is Coach Morris' ego.
