I'm good with the Bibs and the 1* places. Topolobampo in Chicago is a great 1*. Probably the best Michelin place I've eaten at. Topolobampo - Chicago Restaurant (topolochicago.com)

I'm also good with many of the places not mentioned at all.

I understand a fine restaurant should pay attention to "plating", it's part of the deal.  But for me, a dish shouldn't look like something in an art gallery.  

We dined twice at a place here that later got a star, and it is very good in all respects (and expensive).  The courses look very nice, there is plenty to eat, and everything is very tasty.  The wine prices aren't insane.

"plating" "presentation" is more important for some than others

If my lasagna tips over or is upside down on my plate, it still tastes the same to me

just don't short me on the gravy

I don't think "plating" is much of a factor for lasagna or spaghetti or even steak or hamburger.  But in some "fine" restaurant, I expect some attention to plating.  It's part of the deal.

Even a moderately priced Italian place will often throw down a sprig of parsely on lasagna, maybe even an "Olive Garden" does it.

I understand.

It just doesn't mean much at all to me.

a small meal, but it was good, so you're happy

a smaller meal, kinda weird, you grab a burger on the way home

is this food?  not sure what it is, not sure how to eat it.  you sit and eat at a known commodity restaurant afterward
My guesstimates...

93 Zona played in the PAC
not a run heavy conference
They allowed fewer rushing yards than rushing attempts.
Case closed.

because the PAC was a passing conference?
How many 1,000 yard rushers in the PAC in 93?

Allowing fewer than a yard per carry for a season would be impressive in 7-on-7, lol.  Sigh.

There were three 1,000 yd rushers in the PAC that year.  Arizona played 2 of them. 
There were 4 in the Big Ten.  Two in the Big 8.  Three in the SEC. 

Arizona played Miami in the Fiesta Bowl, shutting them out for the first time since 1979.  The Canes had 35 yards rushing.
