Just realized I posted that on the wrong thread! Damn! My mind must be elsewhere.
To answer your question - I often order from Salerno's and I go big. Burger, Vesuvio potatoes, and pizza.
Trying to lose some weight right now but I figure one pig out meal a week is ok for me to do.

Supposed to rain this weekend in the bluegrass. I still my fire up the smoker for pulled pork or short ribs.

Emmett Jones gets an extension through 2022 and a title of Passing Game Coordinator.

So he'll be around.. Big sigh of relief.

Sounds like his daughter might play VB at KU as well... GREAT NEWS.

[NewtonHawk11]

Yeah apparently she's a stud.

Jones will stay here as long as he wants. Long and Miles won't let him leave for a small raise. He'll get whatever he wants within reason.

Finally some continuity. Back to ‘crootin and keeping HR successful.

Little less frequency

Anyone else hear that Franks is taking a visit to Arkansas?

[PhDhawk]

Franks?

I put that shit on everything.

[NewtonHawk11]

Baylor going hard after Fuente from VaTech. He hasn’t been what was expected of him there, but hasn’t been bad either. Would be a good hire for Baylor.

[NewtonHawk11]

Fuente decided to stay at Va Tech instead of going to Baylor.

Dave Aranda, LSU's DC, is expected to be the next head coach at Baylor.

[holidaysmore]

That new safeties coach signed a six year deal with two guaranteed. Making 200k up from 175k he made last year.

Yes I think it's done suppose to be announced today

Newton didn't break the Coe Harris news?

Unlike the Silvio situation, I think this is where you have to cut ties.

I'll preface with this being an assumption, but it smells like this is now 2 felony arrests related to drug ring. And, even if not, why the need to be in bumfuck Missouri so much with a gun he's illegally possessing? Plus he had another arrest in JoCo this past month.

He has regressed as a player, so makes you wonder where his head has been. I don't think he needs football right now.

I did see it last night and read it a bit but didn't come to here to break it. (Kids had me all sorts of occupied)

But yeah, arrested twice in like a 2 month window. First one for license suspended or something along those lines. This is a felony arrest. Completely different and fairly serious arrest. And before people talk about Pooka's thing. Pooka was a he said, she said scenario more than anything. This seems very serious and worrisome.

I do agree with the last line. He has seemed to fall off a bit. While recognizable because of his hair, his play hasn't done much to be recognized with after a promising freshman year. He probably got caught up in the wrong thing, and it's shown both in his decision making and his play on the field.

I imagine he's off the team by the time Spring ball rolls around.

[CrimsonNBlue]

I think there are 2 drug and/or weapon related in Southern Missouri and the license suspension arrest was in JoCo.

[NewtonHawk11]

Yeah. Regardless, multiple incidents in a very short window when he was probably already on close watch.

[CrimsonNBlue]

And, here's something to think about: how does a 4* highly ranked guy at a premium position fall to David Beaty and Kansas?

Not to take away anything from Hull's work, but it would make sense if he was a red flag the whole time.

[NewtonHawk11]

That's what makes recruiting such a crapshoot. Never know the actual character of kids until they are on campus for multiple years.

From all accounts, he seemed like a good kid, a good teammate and a good talent at a premium position like you said.

Sometimes, things go south really fast and it gets out of control. My guess that's what happened here.

[InfiniteJ]

Most of those types of stories have the "he seemed like a good kid" line in it somewhere.
