Fall Camp 2024

So Memphis has better pork and chicken? Meh. Pork is overrated and chicken is practically a vegetable. Brisket’s all that matters.

I learned to love it eventually but my first Georgia shredded pork plate with vinegar sauce confused me. My co-workers were so proud of it. I kept wondering where the giant meat blender was located. I was much younger and though maybe they were playing me.

We sometimes cook pork butt in competition, even in Texas. I use a little bit of a vinegar sauce during the cook process, but not directly on the finished meat. Judges around here just don’t like it. Never tried Georgia bbq, honestly, but expect that the vinegar-heavy Carolinas would rub off on them, so yeah, I’d probably hate it. FYI, best pork I’ve ever had was at The Shed in Ocean Springs, Mississippi (which I highly recommend if you’re driving along the gulf coast…it’s between Biloxi and Mobile). I think they won Memphis in May this year. Pretty famous/successful competition team.

So the best BBQ in Memphis is from Mississippi? More fire for that Memphis/Ole Miss rivalry...

I like bbq in the upstate. Some places not far from Clemson/Greenville and one over in Spartanburg back in the day that were solid.

Wife makes a sauce from fresh chiles and tomatillos for my smoked pork butt. First time we did it I didn't love it, thought it just ok. Tasted a little sour to me. Then left the meat marinating in it for a few days and made some street tacos with it and some fresh onion and cilantro and a little queso fresco, and I thought it might've been the best thing I ever ate.

So JC is reporting Coach Carlton Buckels is stepping away from the team right before the season and just after the Helm/Glover CB injuries.
For personal reasons.
That’s not good at all. Bad omen.

That wasn’t beef I ate today? It looked like, smelt like, and tasted like beef. Damn.
Why is it whenever I see a post from Zebra I start to worry that I'm about to fail another you make the call/rules question? :) (I actually learned a lot when you were putting those questions up.)

Yeah that’s not great. I hope everything is okay on his end and he can return at some point.

I didn’t realize this, but we apparently hired Washington’s CB coach (Julius Brown) to the staff earlier in the offseason. So he will likely take over with the aid of Julius Lewis.

Yes, I don’t believe this was planned for, so TCU is extremely fortunate to have Brown on their consulting staff. He is supposed to be a really good recruiter as well.
I heard when he was at Utah State that his secondary ranked 6th nationally in forced turnovers, so expect a very opportunistic secondary.
I liked Julius Lewis as a player, so glad to see him get an opportunity too.

I appreciate you saying that. I enjoyed doing it, but it seemed to run its course. I could start it up again, but trying to do one every day it became overkill, I think.
I retired from the replay booth after the 2021 season, but still have access to questions and play situations. If a lot of you want me to do, maybe a question on Monday, and another on Friday, I would. Monday's might be something that happened on a play over the weekend, and Friday's would be one on which there was a lot of discussion during the week.
