Yep. Reminds me exactly of Mora's last years under Tom and Bill Kuharic. Just keep filling up the Dome, and all is good. They finished 8-8 one year and were just elated about it. It took the crowds waning down to 40,000ish before major changes ensued.

Even the regular ones aren’t cheesy enough. Bring back Cheese Nips!!

If it’s judged like JFA standards, I would say it’s not “clean” enough. Jambalaya festival type criteria is very little or no “black specks” or any small meat or vegetable particles. But don’t know if that’s the type of judges you were facing.
When I first starting competing I would get so down and distraught when I didn’t do well with judging, but after you keep doing it again and again, you learn to blow it off like nothing.

Just my two cents. Matt is much better on his Morning Scone and Locked On pod cast. I love those two shows!

Spot on. The more degree of smugness on AFR is just playing a role. Like Buddy D used to say, the more they talk about you, good or bad, the better off you’ll be.

If it’s competition, yes, draining and skimming is a must and there are visually indicators that can usually tell you when it’s enough.

Quick slants baby, quick slants!!

Never use still shots to judge a fast moving situation. I learned this a long time ago from a college official buddy that shot a few of my armchair calls down real quick

I don’t know, scoring a 12 on a PFF grade is tough to out-do.

Yeah Moscona’s gonna have some emphasis discussing this one.
