Memphis > KC > Texas > North Carolina for BBQ.

You’re welcome.

Lexington bbq is traditionally found in the Piedmont, not the mountains. It uses ketchup to go with the vinegar and therefore is theoretically sweeter. Eastern NC bbq is more vinegary and not sweet. I get a container of Hardison’s outside Plymouth when I head to the Outer Banks, had no idea what I was missing.

Mustard is disgusting SC-style bbq. Also, bbq is a noun and really is just another way to say pulled pork. Kansas City-style bbq isn’t really bbq, it’s just a type of sauce that they put on random meat. Some Texas-styled brisket is great, but it also isn’t bbq.

Thanks for the correction. Which do you prefer? Eastern or Lexington?

What utter nonsense those last two sentences are. Barbeque is certainly not limited to pork. The regions tend to focus on more common meats, pork of course in the south, and poultry, beef in Texas and in KC a blend of beef and pork. The sauces vary a lot even locally despite regional styles, as do rubs etc. Eat what you like.

Greg Flugar is implying the Big 12 presidents do not want UCONN football but would consider basketball. Also indicating Big 12 looking at basketball only schools including Zags and SJU. Any truth (he seems to get some good info).

Unless things have changed. Dodd posted this at the beginning of June.

Don’t love this

Don’t love this

The angry emoji isn't for you. This would be bad for UConn. Hoping it is just Oregon State or Washington State. I think we'd be ahead of them. We wouldn't be ahead of the other four, but I'd be stunned if they considered the move.

Is Arizona good in football? BB is pretty good I imagine.

Basketball is very good, obviously. Football is terrible. Arizona State is pretty good at football, if well behind the top programs. Utah is easily the best football program of the corner schools. Good enough that the Pac added them in 2010 and they've been among the top programs in the conference since.

 

[Bongo Fury]

Yeah but people don’t dump on AZ or CO for football like they do UConn. People are going to watch the Deon experiment but if successful he’s gone.

I am posting my own tweet as non-key because I’m lazy and don’t feel like retyping the info here

Gross. Mustard based sauces are from the Devil. Not all KC BBQ sauces are sweet, mostly that's just the supermarket crap. Gates and Arthur Bryant aren't sweet.

"Carolina bbq" is a poor term. NC BBQ is vinegar based (and superior), while SC bbq is mustard based.

I do NOT like this response from Master’s Burner. Kick in the testiculos possibly incoming. But still have hope in GoKU

That’s a KEY message, maybe?

Alll the old realignment accounts shaking off the dust

 

[noeynox]

This should be non-non-non key

 

[UConn Dan]

This should be non-non-non key

I think that he’s admitting it’s radio silence because they’re actually been working on an invite is kinda kinda key

I read that as "if Colorado is joining then UConn is too"

Hence same thing

Pat Forde reports Colorado is nearing a move to the Big 12, with Arizona, Arizona State, Utah and Connecticut potentially in line to follow

The fact that Pat Forde is reporting about these schools and includes UConn is especially encouraging. He has no love for us and was the guy who tipped off Louisville’s AD —his friend Tom Jurich—the night he learned that UConn was headed for the ACC and helped Jurich on his blitzkrieg PR campaign to replace us. If he’s saying UConn is in the mix, I think I’ll sleep more soundly than if Frank The Tank or some other blogger yapped about it.

We are always in the mix. I want to be in the cake!
