Born pensacola - school at ga tech - great pulled pork , pork ribs and chicken - sausage ok
Texas for 45 years - west of Houston/ dallas - great brisket , ribs - both beef and pork and great sausage - Czech and regular with jalapeño . Teams west of Houston and Dallas have a few teams get past quarter finals

You (and me) know it. I still have dreams about some bbq brisket I had about 20 yrs ago in some little dive roadhouse outside of Austin.
Funny. It was roughly 20 years ago that I too stopped at roadhouse on the way to Austin. The place was actually called "Cowboy BBQ." I regularly cook BBQ spare ribs and consider myself pretty good at it but I still do not know what their secret was to those beef ribs. Brisket is pretty easy to me but getting those ribs tender, drop of the bone, melt in your mouth, is an art.

Rutgers, Syracuse, & BC get kids from NJ, but not the best kids from NJ. Those kids go to Penn State, Ohio State, Wisconsin, Michigan, & Notre Dame, in no particular order.

Forget I-Perfection Harris. The great Charlie Rogers came from NJ. Jermaine Miles was an NYC guy. So was Kenny Celaj.

We used to have a pretty solid pipeline in to the Northeast during the 90s. Unless you're getting a top top kid from NJ though, it's not necessarily worth the effort. As a friend of mine at work, who's a HUGE Rutgers fan has pointed out to me, your average 3-star kid from GA or FL would be equivalent to a NJ 4-star.


S A R C A ........ Oh well

Anyone remember Brad Yates?

As regards I Perfection - S A R C A...... Never mind.

Speaking also of BBQ, has anyone eaten at Sonny's in Dallas?

NOOOO, not like the one here! It is near the School Book depository area.

They bring out the REALLY, REALLY GOOD BBQ on platters, and keep bringing it.

The original was a little drive in out of town where, it is said, LBJ would meet people at the drive-in and cut his deals.
