How is it only Tuesday?

Bruh what time is the game? Might have to Dofu it.

Who’s going to Houston? That would be one helluva road trip as I’ve only passed through Texas.
 
Its Wednesday NOW ....getting closer. I'm excited.

Houston is favored by 1.5

I think we will win, with a new coach comes changes and I think early in the season would be the best time to play them.

  • UNLV has covered the spread in each of its last 12 road games against non-conference opponents.
  • Houston has failed to cover the spread in each of its last three games against opponents from the Mountain West Conference.

After working on Saturday’s for so long now, My schedule has changed to where I am now off on Saturday’s and the only thing I can think about is sitting at home on the couch, popping open a beer and watching UNLV football. Definitely also gonna make it point to get out to a few games also.

I have weekends “off”. But unless I’m out of town, odds are heavy I’ll get between 8-12 hours, maybe split over two days, maybe on Saturday only, maybe on Sunday only. And I usually don’t know until that particular day.

It sucks balls so they’re always set to record.

It’s one plus to drinking though … can’t come in, I’ve been drinking.

I live in Houston and my UNLV Alumni parents are flying in.

It will be hot and likely raining. So that will be fun :).

Anyone coming to town who is looking for places to eat, hit me up. Houston is a great food city. The oil industry has made the population extremely diverse and some awesome food comes with the merging of cultures.

Well in general there is a large population of Vietnamese that came here after the Vietnam war. Similar climate and the gulf had similar fishing. A ton of west African,Indian/pakistani, as well as Mexican of course. Katrina migrated a ton of people from New Orleans, more than any other city. Then there is the Texas and Southern flare.

The most famous Houston food sub-genre was Viet-Cajun. There was an episode of "Ugly Delicious" on Netflix that was based Houston food in general, but went in depth on the Viet cajun movement.

But these days you can take nearly any 2 or 3 of the above food cultures and mix them up and there is probably a restaurant here like that.

Off the top of my head there is an Indian pizza place (uses naan for the crust), Japanese South American, Vietnamese Texas BBQ, Indian Texas BBQ/Texmex... the list goes on an on.

OG Ninfas is legit, but it has been years since I have been. Pinkertons is one of the better Texas BBQ in the city. Near the top, but not so crazy that you have to wait in line for an hour to get served (at least not in my experience). Gotta get the Brisket of course. Get the beef ribs if they have them.

That’s good to hear don’t want to wait for hours! Definitely on the brisket.
 
He did. I told him they were pretty mild. I didn’t think they were that bad, a little hot. He acted like it was concentrated Carolina Reaper, tears and all.

I think it was at Meet Menzies type of event at Born and Raised. The chicken wing had more basketball knowledge.
lol I will have to mention that to him. What kind of Mexican doesn’t like spicy 😀

I agree but Houston has a few that are really good.
Tex mex is kinda it's own thing. Of course native Texans have a bit of a superiority complex about "their version" of Mexican food.
I don't agree that it is superior, but it can be damn good.

Tex Mex is the originator of Fajitas and queso, so they know how to blaze them up. In house made tortillas is almost a standard here which does make a difference.

That is how we picked Ninfa's I went there when there for the SB a few years ago because they had invented the fajita and loved it. Also added B&B Butchers to our list for tonight.

I love Cajun and Viet. That sounds like a match made in food heaven!

There was a place I'd go in Hawaii that had Chinese pizza. Loved the moo goo gai pan pizza and the chicken almond ding-za!

Best fajitas I ever had, before or since, were at Taco Cabana / Tacasita in San Antonio. They'd bring them out, sizzling on an iron skillet, and a tortillero filled with warm, soft tortillas. You could go up to the fixin's bar and get whatever else you wanted to load on them. And, need I say, served with ice cold cerveza. They billed themselves as the original home of the party on the patio. There was one right across the street from where I worked. I was still young and single, so you know i didn't go there often! Man, I just realized how much I miss that place.

We need some pictures if you are talking foods. Dont care about environmental makeup, I do need some proof via pictures.

lol, not sure I have any in my phone, other than some BBQ picks from my recent trip to Truth BBQ.
here, let me google that for you

Crawfish and Noodles, one of the OG Veit Cajun places, Bombay pizza Indian pizza fusion, Pinkerton's BBQ with the "dino rib".

I went to a conference in San Antonio in August. Food was great. But, the ****ing humidity. Walking the river walk my balls were sweating a whole new river.

Al said that isn’t how it went down he said he ate that wing like a champ and downed a half dozen more after it 😀
