I grew up and lived most of my life in Northwest Arkansas. Wright’s wasn’t around until fairly recent. I can tell you they are legit. Some of the best bbq ribs and brisket I have ever had. Their original location is in Johnson, which is basically Fayetteville. They also have restaurants in Rogers and Bentonville. I highly recommend them if anyone is ever up in this area. Do not go to Penguin Ed’s. They are terrible.

My older brother and his family live in KC. I went to visit them a couple months ago. He was raving about Joe’s bbq. He took me there on a Saturday afternoon, but the line was so long, we decided to leave. Literally hundreds of people standing outside waiting in line.

My man

It’s tough to find legit opinions anymore because if something is popular then people will just say it sucks

And sometimes those elite food places have such absurdly long lines it’s like the food loses some appeal by then

At least with Mario there's a faint/slight hope that he can build/recruit a roster Talented enough coupled with great coordinators to catch lightning in a bottle one season ED orgeron CEO style with a Talented QB...Manny on the other didn't do anything good enough Coaching or Recruiting wise to give us any hope of a Natty, a place like Duke is perfect for him as HC , not the U.

Coach A:
Has only been a HC for one season. year 2 at UM. 8-1 going into last 2 games. Has above average QB. Team collapses at end of season. Finishes 8-3 missing the ACC champ and a 4 team playoff. Also year 1 was a disaster on offense, he fixed the issue by hiring an excellent coordinator.

Coach B-
Has been a HC almost 10 years. Never made playoffs. Year 3 at Um. 10-1 going into last two games. Has the best QB in the storied history of UM (#1 pick in the nfl draft ). Team collapses at end of season. Finishes 10-4 missing the ACC championship and a 12 team playoff. Also Year 1 was a disaster on offense, he fixed the issue by hiring an excellent coordinator.

Now if I was responsible for budget and had to hire one of these two, and saw Coach B was making 3 times the salary as Coach A, I’d take coach A. It’s a simple value proposition.

If you are looking for lightning in a bottle, coach A is objectively the better choice as he could still develop into an outstanding coach. He has no track record yet so he might be capable of a surprise run to the championship through hiring good coordinators, while coach B has shown he can also hire good coordinators but hasn’t been capable of making a championship run.

No names attached or personal feelings. Just looking at it this from a pure logic perspective.

That’s been my whole point. Do u think I’m giving Diaz credit for Arroyo, X, Borreagles, etc for making it to the league? **** no, that’s all Mario; but, the moment some w/in this fan base tried to give Mario credit for Lanning’s draft picks, including guys that never played for Mario, then it’s like hold up, holmes: u’ve now changed the parameters & r opening up Pandora’s Box.

I didn't think it was you doing that specifically, but it definitely happens on CIS way too much. Lanning specifically has done a good job but he inherited a pretty strong situation and yet remains to be seen if he can win it all. Kirby got UGA over the hump Richt couldn't do. We will find out real soon where MC falls in comparison.

You could right be perhaps, except if you dive a lil deeper coach B is now fielding teams with a much better blue chip ratio, actually the best we’ve had here since we were last winning chips, and has us to where we are not getting our *** whipped on the lines, which leads me to believe he’s actually more likely to build a championship level team TALENT wise that could overcome not having the best Game day coach. Coach A could develop into a better game day coach then Coach B sure but nothing about his recruiting/roster building showed any evidence that he’d be able field teams with overwhelming talent.

Ask yourself this..if we had an OSU level operation and budget to work with who’s more likely to build a roster that resembles their 2024 national championship team coach a, or coach b ?

Year one I wanted 6 wins. Fail we only won 5
Two 8 wins. Fail
Three 10 wins. Got it (no the ending did not amuse me)

The track has been upward. Keep it moving. No excuses.

FIFY

Using your reasoning he’s failed 2 out of his 3 years here.

Q39 and Jack’s Stacks (burnt ends especially)

Went to jacks stacks in KC the night we got smoked by Kstate in Manhattan. I had traveled in with my bro and best friend for the game. We are hammered and carrying on and we are there to EAT and drown our sorrows. Decided this was how we were goong to overwrite what was a very forgettable trip.

The waitress sees three pretty young dudes, drunk, and seems sort of annoyed. Asks our order and we tell her one of everything they got. She perked right up and started helping us figure out the best way to order it all. Ran up like a 300+ dollar bill and just smashed it all family style. Left a generous tip cause she really did help us order the whole menu in an economical way. ****** game but a great memory.
