Here it is, in all it's glory. Actual Division 1 FBS football starts tonight. Not sure about having a Saturday SOC - I guess we'll see how it goes. Anyways, tonight we have two games.
Central Arkansas v. UAB, 8 pm, ESPN3: UAB is the 17 point favorite, and comes off a season where they were the runner up in CUSA last year and took a loss in the New Orleans Bowl. They tend to be a defense first outfit, and they play the U next Thursday, so it should be interesting to see how they look. One advantage for Central Arkansas - they just played on Saturday, and getting some game experience seems like an advantage this year.
S. Alabama v. Southern Miss, 9 pm, CBSSN: Southern Miss was a fairly average CUSA team last year, and is favored by 16 tonight. Not sure anyone expecting a lot from them, but these teams combined for 48 turnovers last year, so adding COVID into the mix we could get some kind of wackiness.
-
Makes me happy!!
-
C Arkansas already has a game under their belt.
-
something to watch after golf league!

I'm not completely clear on the ESPN3 thing. I'm aware they have that as there streaming service and not on traditional cable, but I'm unclear if I can watch it on Hulu. I guess I'll find out.

I'm a little unclear as well. I believe if you have Hulu Live TV, you can access ESPN3 content through the ESPN app. You activate your app with your Hulu account.
They now have ESPN+ though. Which I believe is different. Hulu credentials won't get you ESPN+ content, but I believe it will get you ESPN3 content.
But either way, you definitely need the ESPN app on your streaming device to access either.

Have some Entry doors that will be sanded,taped,primed,painted

ESPN+ is additional money, ESPN3 is free.
We have ESPN3 as an app on Comcast, but have to use the Roku for ESPN+
-
I have Hulu live tv. I've read sometimes they directly stream espn 3 content. I guess I'll see if it comes on before fooling around with their app. Less stress than when I went to watch an OSU Nebraska game only to find they had reserved streaming rights for Fubo only.

Sitting in my back yard, sipping an Oktoberfest. Or is it Octoberfest? It was a little muggy today but I can feel the breeze moving that out of here, supposed to drop into the high 50's by morning. I'll poor out a drop for OSU-Illinois, which was to be tonight. Ordered a crappy pizza for the girls because I'm too sad to cook. But not too sad to drink a couple beers.

Hey I was thinking of you the other day. My wife was watching something on Netflix about a BBQ restaurant in Texas. Snow's? I think? Anyway had an 86 year old lady named Tootsie running the pit. Ever been there?
-
Not a day over 95 degrees predicted here in the next 14 days, and there's even one day in that mix with a high in the 70s and a low of 59 degrees.
Good enough to call it Marzen weather here as well. Think I'll have a Live Oak Oaktoberfest tonight to celebrate!

Yup, fantastic BBQ and Tootsie is a treasure.
They're only open on Saturdays, so you have to drive out and get in line pretty early because they sell out quick. It's about a 60-mile drive from where I live. I haven't done it lately, but I'm usually good for a trip out there about once per year. Really old-school Texas meat market BBQ. Tons of history and atmosphere.
I highly recommend it to anyone in the area.

It looked really good. My wife wants to rent an RV and roll around Texas eating BBQ. Not sure the kids would love that as much but we'd like it.

It's Oktoberfest. Note that Oktoberfest (the event) starts in late September and concludes very early in October. So if you're having your Oktoberfest party close to Halloween, you're doing it wrong.
As an aside, I always had my Oktoberfest party in very late October. Because nobody knows the difference here, and because late October weather in Southern California is a lot more conducive to the food and beverage choices of Oktoberfest than late September.

We had finally broken our heat wave here. Or so I thought.
Supposed to be 105 on both Saturday and Sunday. Ugh.

Yikes, that's pretty unusual for y'all isn't it?
If we make mid-September averaging in the low-mid 90s as currently forecast, then it's highly unlikely we'll see 100 again until next June.
-
Cold front here, only 102. Felt good. Honestly.

It's maybe a bit late, but I don't know that it's all that unusual.

Apparently the average daily high in Sept is 80, which is identical to Aug, both tied for the hottest month. Record high temperature of 108 is September as well.

There are no bad times to drink beer some are just better than others
PS - who the hell can drink beer in that kind of weather

Denver has a high on Sunday of 99, and then a low on Tuesday of 32, with snow

I think that's fairly universal. I'd say more often than not, even in Michigan and Pennsylvania it's too warm for that until at least a week in October.

Happened almost to us in Quebec during early September.89 and humid as hell while fishing and woke up next morning with Ice on the cabin windows.Couldn't stoke that fire place fast enough
-
Update: I can watch the ESPN3 game directly through Hulu
-
UAB was fortunate that Central Arkansas missed a field goal, then went down and scored a touchdown
-
We haven't had a 100-degree day yet this summer. I don't think that we're having a cooler-than-usual summer, it's just that the hottest days are quite as hot as usual.
-
Phoenix: 50 days of over 110 degrees in 2020. Previous record was 33 days.
-
UAB and South Alabama pick up the wins. I'm going to pick up a half cord of firewood today - it's a crisp morning fall like morning and I'm ready to start fires.

Well hopefully not but if they open up yet another Tim Horton's no guarantees
-
What about Starbucks?When we use to go on our September fishing trips to Ontario/Quebec one of the guys driving always had to stop at Tim Hortons.Evidently his mecca for munchies there were not alot of them down here.Big disappointment IMO but the large coffee came in handy for the extended drive
-
At least Starbucks has a decent cup of coffee. I hate Tim Horton's coffee, I hate their donuts, and I hate their food, and they never seem to stop building new stores
-

Huh? Starbucks drip coffee is terrible.
Or, much more accurately, Starbucks drip coffee is completely inconsistent. Some cups are decent. Others taste so acrid and burnt you wonder what coffee gods' grave they danced on before opening that morning.
I can't speak to Tim Horton's. But I consistently get great drip coffee at either McDonald's or at Dunkin'.
I personally suspect that Starbucks caters to people who want $5 drinks but don't actually like "coffee", so they make their own drip coffee so bad that it reinforces why you need to buy the $5 drinks.
-
Yeah Starbucks tastes burnt to me. Only time I ever get it is maybe in an airport where it's the only option?
We have several local coffee houses that roast their own beans and make good coffee, and also sell the beans to the public. That's where I get mine.

My wife and I were on a road trip a few years ago. There was a Starbucks in the hotel so as we left in the morning, I loaded the car while she got us a couple of cups of coffee.
It was so bad that we pulled off the freeway a few exits up to throw it away and buy McDonald's.
I'll suffer bad coffee to get my caffeine fix, but this was so bad I couldn't even do that.

Not surprised at all.
And then, there's European coffee. Even their completely average American-style breakfast coffee, is great compared to most of what I can get here. I have no idea why. Maybe different species of beans over there? I just don't know.
-
I like Starbucks' coffee drinks, but their regular coffee, no thanks.
I do like Tim Horton's, but honestly my favorite coffee is from Sheetz convenience stores. Bruegger's Bagels has good coffee as well.
I've never gotten the "hey, on the downlow, McDonald's has good coffee". I worked on a project in a small town where that was really the only option, and had to suffer through it every morning. The absolute worst chain coffee IMO is Panera though.

I grind my own and mix it 50-50 with Aldi's house brand who many seem to like.The Local roaster is good,mixes like 5 different types of beans from Costa Rica,Jamaica,Columbia,Idonesia,Sumatra or sumsuch.They have one typre I've yet to try - Jamaican Me Crazy

I don't drink the stuff, but I grew up in a house where it was a big point. I honestly didn't know that everyone didn't grind their own until oddly late in life.

It's College Football Saturday! Doesn't it feel like Week 1??? Are you ready to watch football all day while maybe grilling food. The football may be a little awry, but the food should be good. I'm cooking brisket on one grill and pork ribs on another, and the wife wanted to have a seafood boil, too, though at the last minute she said she wanted to fry seafood. Make up your mind woman. I bought one of Costco's variety packs of seafood - shrimp, scallops, mussels, and calamari, so whatever she wants should work out fine.
Anyways...
1 pm - Eastern Kentucky at Marshall, ESPN
1:30 - Middle Tennessee at Army, CBSSN
4:30 - SMU at Texas State, ESPN
7:30 - Houston Baptist at North Texas, ESPN3
8 pm - Arkansas St. at Memphis, ESPN
9 pm - Stephen F. Austin at UTEP, ESPN3
Hell of a slate boys. Game of the day must be the Army game. Army favored by 3.5, which is the smallest spread of the day, plus we get to watch the triple option.
-
Also, an absolute perfect day in Columbus. It's in the fifties right now as I sit on my porch and drink some non-Tim Horton coffee. Supposed to be sunny all day and drop back in to the fifties overnight. We got our firewood so breaking out the firepit tonight.
-
beautiful 64 here in Minneapolis sunny and crisp on the way to low 80's today could not have been a better day to play football (although we were schedule for a Thursday night game)
and yes taking in a nice cup of coffee from the Keurig. not the same as a coffee shop but in a reasonable 40 cents a cup
-
Hitting the links today hopefully before the heat gets unbearable. Hoping 9 holes at the duffer course doesn't take 3 hours lol.
Then will pick between watching bad football or championship golf, eventually bad football will be the only option.
Tonight I'll be frying potato chips and making burgers from the chuck roast I ground.
-
I still use a ten year old Mr. Coffee that honestly looks kind of gross, but it gets the job done.
-
I go Keurig for the daily cups, but French press or pour over when I get fancy.
-
Got the grills going, the property smells smoky, getting ready to watch Marshall. Go Herd.
-
To each their own but Herbie crying ain't it for me
-
Yeah, that was pretty ridiculous.
It should be the next "jordan crying" meme.

There is very little in the world that catches my attention more than when a place or person has home made potato chips. It's just an ideal side to a heavy meal.
Also, it's kinda nice in my corner of the world, which is a stunning reversal of how things have been.
-
Touchdown Herd
I miss when Marshall was sort of a big deal
-
Wow didn't realize how many people were at the Marshall game.
-
Army scores a touchdown - cool to see the cadets doing pushups as they kick the extra point
-
Army just chewing them up
-
I should be smoking wings, drinking beer, and getting ready for WVU-Fla St. Sigh.
Mowed the grass, watched a little of Marshall, and going to my mom’s for a party for my nephew’s 18th birthday.
-
cbssports won't even let you look at their scoreboard unless you turn off your ad blocker.
No thanks, I remember all too well what that site was like pre-adblocker, where videos would start playing in the corner of your screen every ten seconds.

Close to 100 today and is supposed to be 100 tomorrow, so staying inside and watching old Husker games is the plan for me this weekend; next weekend is the (finally!) internment of my mom's ashes (she passed in Feb). Will finally get to see both my brothers and it will be the first time since my dad's funeral in 2011 that all four kids will be together. My youngest son's girlfriend is flying down from Alaska for the weekend to celebrate his 40th birthday which is going to be same day as the internment. He will be representing all the grandkids, as the rest are all spread out from Kentucky to Texas. My oldest son will be going to be in South Dakota to be with his dad who is having chemo treatments for stage 4 lung cancer.
So far this year:
My mom died
Brother in law diagnosed with skin, lung and brain cancer
brother went to alcohol rehab
Ex-husband diagnosed with cancer
Only remaining uncle diagnosed with cancer
Husband had rotator cuff surgery
Oh! And no Husker football. 2020 sucks the big one, ya'll. I need some mindless entertainment to get away from it all, lol
-
Touchdown Herd

I get it, but they were a big deal at least partially because they had ringers - some talent came through Huntington that had no business being there.
Moss and Kresser, specifically.
I'm not familiar with how Pennington and Leftwich got there. I should look it up.

Enjoy watching those old Husker games, Dinie! Even if one of them is the '71 GOTC in Norman. . . .
-
The good news is that not one family members has had Covid-19! Woo hoo! Of course with all the other medical issues, we've all spent an inordinate amount of time in self-isolation, lol.
-

Oh, I definitely will! Next up is the 2014 Miami-NU game. What an atmosphere for that one. Even just watching I could hear how loud the stadium was. I will be thinking of you when I watch the GOTC, lol. Holy moley, man woman and child - they don't make announcers like Bremser anymore.

The only time I ever heard him was on YouTube, with his call of THAT game. He was something, all right.

First two games were duds, but might have something in SMU and Texas State.

-
That was a fantastic catch. I'm pulling for a Texas State upset here.
-
Texas St may have gotten hosed on that fumble call. Despite what the numbnuts announcers were saying there was a clear and immediate recovery by TSU. That was at least worth a stoppage to see if the ball popped out before his elbow hit. Of course, the next play SMU hits a TD pass.

Marshall had it rolling in I-AA long before Moss and Kresser got there. Pennington and Leftwich weren’t transfers or anything. Just kids they recruited and developed.
-
When I was in college the Mac East had Big Ben, Byron Leftwich, Charlie Frye, Josh Harris and Josh Cribbs. All of those guys went onto be NFL starters; albeit with varying degrees of success. Now you hardly ever see a QB of that caliber fall all the way down to the Mac.
-
Those blue chrome Memphis Tiger stripes are bringing back memories. I produced those bad boys on a number of occasions. They break them out twice, maybe three times per season, iirc.

IIRC, Pennington only had mid major offers, but opted for 1AA Marshall, because his parents went there.
I don't know Leftwich's story

They did it some last year as well. I'm a uniform-traditionalist and don't usually like alt uniforms or gimmicky stuff on the helmets, so I don't love it. But I do kind of like the font, looks sort of 80s which is my jam.
They're using the "D" and the "Dallas" on the jersey to see if they can appeal to the average Dallas citizen that has no real loyalty to any other team and make a fan of them. I don't know if it works or not. I remember a few years back Fresno State had a big V on their uniform or helmet, to represent the "Valley."
-
We've got special Monday Nigh Football tonight
BYU at Navy, 8 pm, ESPN: Might have a good one tonight. The line is even per ESPN. After watching Army chew up Middle Tennessee, makes me think Navy might have an advantage with the reduced practices, but BYU has a pretty decent front seven. Navy is breaking in a new quarterback, and I've read they haven't quite settled on one.

I just assume everyone in Dallas is a Longhorn. The SMU pony as pretty distinctive and now it looks all congested on the helmet. Meh.

I love when schools do this, trying to suddenly pull in their geography. It's basically like "what if we could be good USC in terms of fanbase?"
In either case, I like the helmet.

Hmmmm. Dallas Mustangs.
Sounds like an XFL team name.
I wonder if it will turn indifferent-to-CFB Dallasites into SMU football fans. I sort of think not.
-

I'm sure that there are many Horn fans in Dallas. I would guess that they are not a majority, but a plurality of Dallasites who care about CFB.
But there is a significant Sooner contingent there too. On the old CFN Big 12 board, the late Hooky Hornstein/Charley Horse called Dallas in particular and northern Texas in general Baja Oklahoma.
Surely a bunch of Aggie fans in Dallas.
Probably a smaller bunch of Texas Tech fans.
Some SMU fans.
Some TCU fans. I don't know if being a P5-conference-member has increased TCU's fanbase in Dallas or not.
Some North Texas fans.
FWIW (nothing), I don't like the D-pony design either.
-
I have to admit I guess I always associated SMU with Dallas because when I was a kid they played their home games in the Cowboys’ stadium.

Damn big cities, too much of a melting pot.
Last time I flew in there, the BBQ place I wanted to try had too long a wait. Thankfully the backup option was also fantastic.

Ha, no doubt.
Longhorn fans are the largest single group of college fans in Dallas, but they're by no means a simple majority. As C-Dubb mentioned, there are a lot of Sooners in Dallas as well. And a fairly large population of Aggies, although Houston is more of an Aggie town than Dallas is, for various reasons. And then a smattering of other Texas schools mixed in.
But also, Dallas is more of a pro-sports town than a college town. The Cowboys absolutely dominate the sports fan mindshare in that city, and the Rangers, Mavericks, and Stars get their share, too.

Navy looking rough

So with no games pitting the mid majors against the big boys, what happens if three or four G5s run the table?
BYU's toughest games after this are against Army and Houston. You could have them plus the three conference champions of CUSA, the American and the Sunbelt with unblemished records at seasons end.

This would be better then heroin

BYU impressive. Really rooting for Kalani Sitaki to have a good year, however many games the Cougars play - good guy. And it just occurred to me: might it be the slightest recruiting advantage for BYU to be the only program West of the Rockies guarantee on TV this season?

Ever so slightly perhaps.
It's still a school where you can be negative recruited with the sentence "If you get down, they might throw out out"

Well, maybe we should be glad we didn't have to play BYU

The Y would be an extremely tough sell to anyone who isn't a devout member of the LDS Church.
Their primary concern is whether or not they can get the Manti Te'os of the world to go there instead of ND or wherever else.

Yeah, they were really hard to hear over the TV. And some of the sideline reporting folks said they were hard to hear on the sidelines, too. I hope the teams are able to hear them alright during play.
-

They are terrible. they are way too low in volume. We are still using the Fox 40 whistles, though a couple of companies have come out with a cover for them so your spit doesn't fly.

how much spit flies from a whistle?

hell why not just carry an air horn
you can get small ones

I'm a little surprised that Arizona State is so low, but I suppose they have so many other infections and various STDs on that campus, it's probably choking out the 'ronas.

BYU honor code. "Get down" referring, I assume, to sex prior to marriage.
Speaking of getting physical, so to speak, yesterday I was re-watching the top of the BYU-Navy game, before things got really out of hand for Navy, and the announcers were going out of their way to commend Navy's precautions against COVID during practice. Namely the no contact game preparations which did away with tackling drills. And boy did it show. Maybe BYU avoided in-practice tackling too, but it was more than clear who clearly didn't put any preparation into the physicality their opponent brought to the table. BYU over Navy 55-3.
-
That game ended with Navy in the victory formation, taking a knee at their own five yard line, down 55-3.

Big Boy Football starts tonight
UAB at Miami (Florida), 8 pm, ACCN: Here comes the U. Last year's QB crapfest appears to be resolved, as Houston transfer D'Eriq King takes over. Miami could have a pretty good team if their have a functional offense, and they had better figure it out fast, because UAB is a veteran team that already has a win.

So when do the Big Boys start?

UAB making Miami work for it anyway. Dana Holgorsen probably several scotch and Red Bull’s in watching D’Eriq King play for Miami.

Yes. 15,000 fans were allowed inside, so basically the usual contingent of Miami fans.

thats amazing
all they needed was the band in the end zone so they could run into the horn section
-
Wut'er we DEW'in?
It's a fumble. No, it's not.
I think some of those players got tired.
-
sure looked like the ball carrier was down at one point
-
Watching some ACC football and pretending the Bucks and Ducks are on another channel, trying to get their game in before the stadium catches fire.
-
Syracuse gets boned by the worst rule - the illegal blind side block, which makes it illegal to block someone "with force" if they aren't looking at you. Wipes a touchdown off the board.
-
Doesn't help that it was a wimpy kicker
-
Doesn't help that it was a wimpy kicker
True, though I hate the rule because it doesn't give blockers much idea of how to proceed. They should allow you to grab a guy or something if you are coming from the blindside - right now I think the only thing legal is to just stand with your arms down and get run over as being your "block."
-
Love seeing the Bojangles ADs.
-
Tar Heel defense carrying the day so far - they've turned the ball over twice but Cuse can only get 3 points out of it.

I agree there should be some way to block from the blind side seems unfair
I like the basic rule to stop serious injury but it doesnt give the offensive player much of a chance to stop the defender
-
Iowa State finally gets on the board with 4 1/2 left in the 2nd quarter.
Louisiana responds by running the ensuing kickoff back to the house.
Tied 7-7.
-
EKU avoids the shutout vs WV by scoring a TD.
EKU was shut out by Marshall.

Coaches not wearing face masks over their noses.
This is poor coverage, IMHO.

A lot of teams now reporting infections.
Georgia Southern, 33 in actives, VT/uVA game ppd

not a great day for the Big 12 so far
cyclones trailing, Wildcats tied

Yep. Louisiana up 24-14 with the ball over ISU with 11 to play.

KSU trailing now as well

Ark ST WR abusing Cats.
-
Gus likes guys named Deuce Vaughn.

Louisiana RB just got his bell rung hard. Ouch.

Iowa State ready to run through the B12
-
the Cajuns playing w purpose. Not a lot of that on Iowa St. I had some sleepy 3rd and 4th graders on vball CT this morning. Looks familiar.
-
Cajuns put the powdered sugar on that beignet. Nice win!
Switched over to KSU tied 28 all with 5 to play.

Beautiful fall evening. Feels perfect outside. Had a travel tournament in Bristol today though. Got to watch about half of WVU’s game on my phone. Afterwards we ate pizza at Mellow Mushroom and I watched some of the ND game.

Uab did study this recently I recall. Anyways, an entire soccer team in the Congo was killed by a lightning strike in the late 90s. A match in England last year had 4 players injured in a strike. A fan died at US Open in 80s at Hazeltine. 100 people were injured in a 1880s baseball game, nobody died though. Just remembering these instances. Im not playing a game of gotcha vis a vis CV but only noting there's a laundry list of strikes injuring or killing folks. Risks and liability doctrine is quite developed on lightning strikes. Same reason I go to basement every T warning.
Measuring risk is quite interesting. Great book on this by poker player, Annie Duke, Thinking in Bets. Id love to hear her commentary on some of this.

Not to mention, the response to both Covid and bad Weather involve taking the necessary precautions, and in both cases those precautions can involve postponement.
Not sure how exactly that makes them "different" or "opposite."
If anything, it suggests that they are consistent.

Ok,this was it, it was actually Mississippi State which published the study. The link here to the news site has a link to the 2014 study of lightning strikes during 2001 to 2011. Not surprisingly, states in the SE have the most lightning strikes. There's an SEC speed joke in there somewhere. If interested. I also just recalled that herbie Hancock concert in the 90s in DC at RFK, where a bunch of people were struck during the concert. Is it overreacting to vacate like this? I don't know, I'm inclined to think it is prudent, but as I've admitted I am humble in the face of severe weather. Seen too much to behave any other way. Its like a roulette wheel only there's several spins every minute.

I am an attorney. I have litigated the last 3-seconds of someone's life, for 3-years. One of my best high school buddies was killed by a lightening strike shortly after graduating from college. There is a reason for lightening safety measures that are well-understood. There is also enough data on COVID-19 to know what prevents it, and actions that promote its spread.

I know they had cardboard fans also but there were a lot of real fans too
in two weeks we are supposed to get the band back as of right now

Yup, I liked seeing the vertical approach to the game both passing and rushing. UTEP is a terrible, terrible team. But I've seen Texas perform quite a bit worse in openers against other terrible teams, so there's a lot of positives to be taken from this game.

After being down 28-3 Kansas has it to 28-17 going into the 4th. It was 28-11 and after the TD to cut to 28-17 KU went for two and missed.
What am I missing? Why go for 2 there?
-
I don't get it either. Chasing points that far back and with that much time isn't a great choice IMO.

Afterwards we ate pizza at Mellow Mushroom
Sounds like the Name of a Navajo Fungi Operation

Exactly. Chip Kelly spent time on TV and he looks like a cantaloupe growing out of a suit.

Beautiful fall evening. Feels perfect outside. Had a travel tournament in Bristol today though. Got to watch about half of WVU’s game on my phone. Afterwards we ate pizza at Mellow Mushroom and I watched some of the ND game.
It felt as close to “normal” as anything has in a long time.
Now I want Mellow Mushroom, which is bad because I need to not spend more monies. Also, I enjoy that place, but it gets squeezed out of my restaurant rotation.

I had an Italian sandwich at that place and it was the worst sandwich I've ever eaten in my life.

maybe it was a Portobello Burger.I'm assuming this is in Virg/Tenn.funny the different reviews
-
been to a Mellow Mushroom in Lincoln and another in Texas
was good, but not impressive
-
I’ve only eaten there 2-3 times and only get the pizza but we’ve always liked it. We got a cheesy bread appetizer that was really good, too. I think they are a chain that is mostly in the south.
-
never heard of the place
-
There is an MM within walking distance of us, I've never had the urge to try it. I usually avoid chains. A few places are small chains that we like, they have 4-5 places.
I find chain restaurant food often is prepared using a lot of fat and salt to mask the fact they don't use good ingredients.
Maybe that isn't the case with McDonald's of course.

Tried it once. It was fine, but never had the inkling to return for another go around.

I usually avoid chains, and honestly have only been there a time or two (a friend's birthday lunch, I think). I found it to be in that category of "pretty good" chain food. Like if I was one a road trip and just wanted something I expected would have a high floor, I'd stop in.
But in the town I live, there's two very good local pizza places off the bat. And another that's supposed to be superb that I have yet to try. And like 2-3 more that are probably at the worst on MM's level, most likely better to smaller degrees.
But I will have no MM today. Maybe takeout, most likely not. It is an NFL day, so maybe that suckers me into something, though it also might make the places more crowded.

As pizza goes MM is way above the level of domino's or pizza hut. Nothing special, but I wouldn't turn my nose up at it.
-
I do miss good pizza.

This is the best I've found around here, though we've been eating a lot less of late for whatever reason. It helps that they have a semi-enclosed upstairs bar area with sofas and fire pits and fans etc. It's really nice IMHO.

Yeah it's better than standard chain fare. Not as good as authentic local joint kinda stuff, but it's decent.

There are Mellow Mushrooms in numerous SEC college towns. A few here in Phoenix, as well. Tempe, specifically - I think the vibe there is more for college students.
weed > munchies > pizza place
Much like the sandwich shop called Cheba Hut.

NORMAN, Okla. -- Oklahoma football coach Lincoln Riley confirmed after the No. 5 Sooners' opening victory over Missouri State that the game Saturday night had been jeopardy of being postponed or canceled because of the Sooners' COVID-19 cases.
Earlier, the Springfield News-Leader reported that Missouri State president Clif Smart told the school's board of governors that the game had been in doubt.
"It hung in the balance for a little bit, but we were able to do it," Riley said after the 48-0 victory. "Thankfully, we were able to."
Several Oklahoma players were out, including kicker Gabe Brkic and running back T.J. Pledger. Brkic was a preseason second-team All-American. Pledger was listed as the starting running back. Anton Harrison, a true freshman who was listed as the starting left tackle, also did not play.
Riley wouldn't confirm why they were out. He said earlier in the week that he would no longer release team COVID-19 testing results.

There wasn't really a need to do that for the OOC games, but I agree with the philosophy and I won't be surprised if we see that now that only conference games remain.
