seems a bit pricey - $6 for a sausage link - but when in Rome
just checked one of my favorite BBQ spots in Iowa

$6 for a 1/4 pound sausage

geeez!

Rivalries are tough for me to rank, perhaps aside from the few of national significance.  Clemson-South Carolina for example is a very heated rivalry, locally.  Army-Navy?  Not so much really.

And of course rivalries change over time if one team gets a clear upper hand.    Anyway, just opinions, all fine with me.

As an outsider, in the B1G I know of the Michigan - Ohio State rivalry, of course.  And Wisconsin-Minnesota.  

I assume the intrastate schools have rivalries but I don't hear much about them.  Indiana-Purdue, Michigan-Michigan State.

I also hear about axes and oaken buckets and whatnot, but couldn't tell you which trophy belongs to which rivalry.  It's cool that they have those local traditions, though.  That's what college football SHOULD be all about.

The AXE is in Madison as of today.

Illinois and NU is a thing. Iowa and UNL is becoming pretty heated.

Same here.  The big ones for me are the main famous ones.

Oh yeah, that makes sense.  I always forget about Northwestern, even though I did a 2-month program there one summer.

Nationally, I don't think we all realize the heat between MIZ-KU and WV-Pitt

My weekday wine is Josh Cellars, usually.  I've noted before the Kirkland Box Cabernet is quite good at that price.  Their chardonnay is flabby as heck.

I looked up that Son of a Son Cab from Paso Robles, and it doesn't appear to be available. All they're showing on their web site now is a red blend, and on their parent company winery (Clesi) they show an Aglianico. 

Seems like an odd situation... The winemaker is also the winemaker of the Clesi Vineyards brand, but appears to be making and bottling this under some sort of offshoot Son of a Son brand.
