grumpy-old-men

I’m coming into this on the halftime of the Kansas State at Oklahoma State.  I got a new phone and spent my time watching the first half while making the monster sandwich I’ll talk about Monday.  So fire it up!  I’m already grumpy about Kansas State’s play so far and the belly is about ready to growl for non hunger reasons.  Let’s do this.

Pick It And Stick It: Getting Kinda Flakey Here

pick-nose-guy-book

Whew my picks last week stunk.  It almost stuck as much as my pick for Kansas State over Texas.  Yes, it was for the spread and yes, they didn’t make it.  So how am I going to recover this week?  Fortunately Kansas State is off so I don’t have to worry about them.  There are some Top 25  matchups that could smooth the blow and get me back on the road to recovery.  There’s also a nice little non conference matchup that will be exciting as well.

Time to dust to cobwebs again.  This time, I was actually at a football stadium to watch live college football!  So I don’t travel as much anymore which means that it was again at Darrell K Royal – Texas Memorial Stadium.  And yes, it was again Kansas State taking on the Texas Longhorns.  While the outcome was different, the tailgating was not and it still made for a fantastic experience.

Last week wasn’t too hot for me but at least I had the Game of the Century of the Week called.  In fact, there were so many great games last week, I almost didn’t mind that I did pretty dang poorly in the picks.  Well, I hope this week I hit hard on my picks because the slate of games looks pretty dang dry.   Let’s see what we got.

So it’s the game of the century this weekend and I decided to kick it up a notch by cooking something that both Texas A&M and Alabama can share.  Well, also it’s a victory lap for Kansas State’s win over Louisiana-Lafayette.  Yup, I’m cooking some cast iron Godzilla Gumbo.   Maybe next week it will be some clam chowder for the Wildcats win over Umass.  Who knows?   What I do know is that the saison from South Austin Brewing Company made gumbo so sweet.  On to the ingredients.

It’s time for another year of Football Feedings!   Yup, I took off last week for some floating action and now I’m back conjuring up some very fine game day snackings.   This week, I visit dip land and pull out one of my favorite hot dip and one of my favorite cold dip.  Hot dip wise, it’s a classic Velveeta ground chuck dip with a twist.  Cold wise, it’s a strawberry mango dip with some hatch peppers in for spice.  How did it fare?  Well with the beer pairings from Adelbert’s Brewery and Maredsous for the dips respectively, it kicked off this year will a resounding belch.
