# | 2019 slightly-less-popular-than-whisky Tequila thread and catch all for other spirits To each their own. If you get a good bottle of Hibiki 17, to me it's one of the most complex and nuanced whiskeys I've ever had.
No, not yet. I do want to check it out though.
If you like Ezra Brooks, give Zachariah Harris shot. It's actually a few bucks cheaper and I like it better than Ezra.
Koval might be the most interesting bourbons I've ever had.

Bulleit 10 Year

Four Roses Single Barrel Private Selection OESF

My next investments will be a bottle of Suntori Hibiki and Aberlour A'bunadh.
Yeah, it was a bit of hyperbole, just meaning seven figure DCs are becoming the new normal. Hell, we're a gnat's eyelash away from that ourselves. Bud pulls in $950,000 base salary I think.
Also, where you getting your info on the Dark Lord? I thought Saban was pulling in eight digits.

# | GIFTORY: Frame-by-Frame Highlight Reel of Virginia Tech's 52-49 Road Win over Georgia Tech It wasn't a flashy play, but I'll remember the buzzer beater in the first half for a long time, especially since that wound up the margin of victory.

# | BUZZKETBALL CENTRAL: #9 Virginia Tech Hokies (13-1, 2-0) at Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets (9-5, 1-0) 7PM ACCNE/RSN Better lucky than good, fam. Survived our first road test in conference play, in a trap game.
Please God let this be true.
BC lost its high powered OC.
DCs making head coach money is the new arms race in college football.
Who's worried?
(Not a rhetorical question.)
Speaking strictly for myself, any doubts about Fuente's "QB guru" status are put to bed by Ryan Willis's stat line. Took a kid who couldn't cut it at Kansas and reliably made the wrong read and wound up with the fourth best passer rating in the conference and a 2.67:1 TD to INT ratio. That's making chicken salad out of chicken shit.
We didn't see him against Marshall because we didn't need him. Better to keep that fourth game in your back pocket in case of disaster in the bowl game.
We didn't see him in the Military Bowl because Willis was providing enough of a spark in the run game that we didn't really need our wildcat package. I'd imagine we came damn close to seeing him when Willis dinged his shoulder, though.
Reads like a man who isn't quiiiiiiiite ready to take full responsibility for his own actions, but is really, really trying.
Best of luck, T. Hill
QP should start because Trevor Lawrence is a prodigy at QB? Got it.
I think the verdict is in on the SEC, and nobody outside of Finebaum's listeners and the CBS announcing crew really buys into inherent SEC superiority anymore. There's Alabama, then there's Georgia trying to close the gap, and then there's everyone else, with LSU probably at the front of that pack. But the middle of the SEC isn't a lot better than the middle of the other four P5 conferences.
He wasn't talking about this game. He's taking about where the program is now versus where it was when he took over.
The question "who does Trevor Lawrence remind you of?" has only one correct answer:
It's 100% accurate. We're less than a decade removed from "Clemsoning" being the reigning meme of college football.
For me it was the change in Tua's demeanor after the second pick.
After the pick six he was still all smiles, it's all good, I got this. And actually looked like it was justified with that next TD pass.
After that second pick, though, you just watched the fire go out of his eyes. That was the look of a young man who just realized he was in for a very long night.
I'm not jealous of the scheme. I'm not jealous of the talent.
I'm jealous of the tackling.
And I can't overemphasize how much I love having the sounds of the game with no commentary over it.
Literally the only feed I give a shit about is the skycam with no commentary. Best way to watch a football game, and I wish they did it with every game on TV.
Kraken makes a great dark and stormy. Ginger beer and lime.
