And also, boooooo football!!!
College football started up in earnest last night, which is good. Anyone who doesn't love fall football is a gay terrorist communist Nazi Republican. Unfortunately, the 'feature' game of LSU @ MSU was, in a word, awful. Sylvester Croom's defense played very well. Hard hitting, tough and were in it to win the whole game. But they were on the field the whole game because their offense is terrible. It was as if they had no discernible offensive scheme and were just spinning the Jeff Bowden play-call wheel...which the same results. Their QB threw 6 INT's....you'd think after, say, the first three you might want to seriously consider...I dunno...calling safer pass plays. Maybe set your QB up with high % passes rather than the down field stuff.
Anyway. It is started, so that's good. But football should not be allowed on Labor Day, and especially not for FSU. Sick and fucking tired of these Labor Day games. They suck.

BBQ Update
Today we went to Mr. T's BBQ on South Monroe. Easily the best ribs in town. Sauce was pretty good, although I wish they would serve the meat un-sauced and have sauce at the tables so you could put your own on. They put a LOT of sauce on. It'd also make it easier to try the different sauces they have, although that is limited to three choices I think.
The macaroni & cheese is excellent. Beans were OK, probably canned. Whatever. It is a bit pricey if you get sides and a drink. And I don't recommend getting the 'slice' of pie. It is good pie (I had the sweet potato pie) but its not a slice, its a little 3" pie that is too small. I was expecting a real slice of a real 10" pie. If you're with a group, buy a full pie and split it up.
I had the chicken/rib combo, and the chicken was really good as well but they chop it rather than leave it whole, which was odd. But skip the chicken and get the ribs.
Oh, and Tiny's BBQ...in keeping with the tradition of all great BBQ joints....burnt down. So I guess it is off the list. We'll just go ahead and put Mr. T's in its place.
