El Siboney is an even better Cuban restaurant in Old Town.

It’s been closed for awhile. Another restaurant is in that building now.

re: Oats top 3 in coaches?

If we are going to definitively say he's not top 3, can we please start listing your 3 current best coaches?


Fair.

And again before I start, I would not trade Nate for anybody. Nate Oats is the perfect coach for us and nobody we could realistically get in any world would be better than him. But…

Hurley
Sampson
May

Mark Few

I feel like those would be almost unanimous top 3 (and 4) amongst most people. Rest of the top 10 would be up for debate but there’s no world where Oats isn’t top 10.

He’s not top 3 but definitely top 10. There’s no other coach on the country that we could reasonably get that I would trade for him though.

Stayed at the DoubleTree (I think it was?) near Centennial Park for a Saints/Falcons game. Was right across the park from the stadium and an easy walk. Perfectly safe, especially with all the people around for the game. We spent the night before the game in another part of town and just took an Uber straight back to the hotel.

Dumbass blows up a team that was 14-3 the prior season. All to draft a QB who threw for more than 200 yards ONE GAME during his last year at Michigan


I don’t know anything about this GM but I have a hard time thinking that was solely his call. Their head coach is a supposed QB guru and I’m sure McCarthy was his guy. Ownership has to agree with a move like that too. Somebody had to take the fall though I guess.
The Demon Unrest is another great book of his.
Great book, and I agree that the last sentence will stick with you.

Check out Larson’s “Devil in the White City.” Just finished it and found it even better.

Atchafalayla if uptown. No bottomless mimosas though.

This was the worst kept secret ever, anybody who needed to know (and plenty that didn’t) knew he was gone. Don’t act like this isn’t standard operating procedure for college programs the past decade or so at least. I wish KDB had that SEC killer in him but I don’t think so.

Alabama is 4-1 against those teams in 2024 and 2025.

That’s an incredibly young group. I’m sure the staff will be rotating and messing around with groups all season again and that will be fun and not frustrating at all.
