I think North Carolina is still too important to the ACC to have to put up with any poo poo. What are these new lands that the ACC has moved into that it can afford to rip its own heart out? Hoo boy, it's been real North Carolina, but now we've got VT and Syracuse lol

There's 4 schools in the state, the ACC would still have 2, that's the market. UNC and NCSU are the heart of the ACC? loving :laffo: Basketball hasn't paid the bills in the conference for a long time, those schools are all just picking up a paycheck.

You let me know where the state that doesn't have two nickels to rub together is going to come up with a hundred million for the exit fee, though. I'm sure NCSU is thrilled at the prospect of being an AAC school, too.

as far as NC - 12, it's actually a good one


But yeah the feds need to come in and set NC straight.

I mean, I guess? But that's also a form of Gerrymandering wherein members of a single party are all grouped together within the same district so as to keep them from affecting the vote in a different district. It's how you can make one ultra-strong blue district and a whole bunch of steady red districts.

It's the district dilemma: do you structure things so that people are voting with those who are similar or do you do it geographically.

Personally, I don't think you do it at all. Superdistricts are the way to go.

Yeah but I'm willing to accept a weird looking district that's racially inclusive instead of the exact opposite.

This is true we have a lot of good Brazilian barbecue.

But every single American barbecue restaurant in NJ or NYC is mediocre barbecue for too much money.

I had barbecue at Blue Smoke a while back and it was $28 for brisket and two sides, what the gently caress is this poo poo, you criminals, it's barely average brisket.

To be fair, outside of the south, the term barbeque is used as a synonym for "grilling". Also, almost all non-native English speakers do the same.

John Mueller Meat Company, the only elite-tier BBQ place in Austin that had reasonable wait times, is gone now. Because John is an irresponsible drunkard who didn't pay sales tax for years, so one day the state came and took all his poo poo. God drat he can make a brisket, though.

If you drop cash on a BGE or Kamado, the IQ becomes even more incredible. My next step from the Weber is a thick-metal side-smoker or a built-in brick smoker, though.

John was always inconsistent. Some days he'd deliver something that approached Franklin level, some days he could barely deliver a passable Rudy's. Did magic with beef ribs, but so does Micklethwaite and Stiles Switch. It probably has something to do with him being a drunkard. John did a lot for Austin BBQ (mostly training Aaron), but the scene doesn't really miss him. His best role would be to go pitmaster for someone else and have absolutely nothing to do with the ownership or running of the business.

But Micklethwaite, Kerlin, Valentina's and Brown's all have reasonable wait times and fall within elite tier. La BBQ has reasonable wait times 50% of the time. And Slab is pro-tier Tuesday night (rib night) dinner.

Yeah, even my brazos style offset smoker has a shelf i can throw in it to hold coals to turn it into a big rear end grill.

You like Stiles Switch? I tried twice but got awful brisket/ribs both times. I've heard from others it's really inconsistent. This sucks, because it's like, 2 miles from my house.

I miss him! Every great place I've ever found has some disappointing days. At his very best I liked John's better than the couple of times I've had Aaron's. But I also happen to prefer brisket that retains some legit beef flavor and isn't just insanely smoky. For example, in Lockhart I much prefer Smitty's to Black's, but I know some Black's fanatics accuse Smitty's of being roast beef with some smokiness.

In my book Brown's and Valentina's and Mickelthwaite are good but not elite tier, and I've passed on all of them before just based on the length of the line. Elite tier to me is pretty much John Mueller (RIP), La, and Franklin. That Louie Mueller coaching tree is strong as gently caress. Also to my great disappointment I found Lambert's to be really fantastic the one time I had it, even though BBQ in a sitdown restaurant with plates and waiters and craft cocktails is a loving abomination. You sell that poo poo at the counter by weight, wrapped up in greasy paper. To-go orders go in a sack, dine-in on a plastic tray. There are rules, people.

Ah, I prefer meat candy BBQ. And Smitty's is the bottom of the elite tier. Brown's, Valentina's, and Mickelthwaite are all a notch above them (along with Cooper's Llano, Black's Lockhart), then a gap for the mueller tree BBQs. That's CenTex only, mind.
