Smiley’s has an early bird special which was solid. Our first few years of marriage we would love to go there and laugh about the fact that it was usually packed with folks on social security. But the food was great!
Many bridal parties in the back room as well

re: Anyone know of any Sports Bars in Reykjavik, Iceland.

So 50 minute Uber from airport and while riding to your hotel get the driver to swing by the Leif Erikson statue in front of the church and you will probably have seen “the sights” in Reykjavik. Seriously, the hotels are utilitarian mostly and the food is unique but perhaps not in a foodie kind of way. Get the game streaming on an app (make sure you have a vpn with US connection) as chances are you will be awake at 3am anyway

It’s an interesting question. Is it linked to your time zone or straight up EST?
Setting the table for a coach pipeline from NC State perhaps?
re: Wade will be our next coach

He took McNeese State to the tournament twice and got their first win. That is objectively a better performance than the current coach who had better resources.
Alternatively there may be better options outside of Wade.

They’re trying to keep college players that are great college players, but not great NFL players around longer to improve the quality of the product on the field to compete with the NFL. This will also increase depth across schools.

Love it. What would it look life if you changed the dish to a Death Valley like stadium?
Good question as we live west of it. My observations:
Lots of neighborhoods with older, smaller one story ranch style homes. Nothing that you look at and say I want to bring my family here. Though there are some areas that are being revitalized close to the wahoos stadium for instance, so it is being updated.
Near the jail and surrounding areas, particularly west, there is an issue with homeless/maybe drugs/ maybe mental illnes/ maybe all of the above. Since it is a military base and VA hospital town with a reasonable climate, my guess has been a lot of vets with drug issues
As others have said though, downtown is small but nice. Very few high rise buildings (which limit growth) but older and smaller with decent amount of character.
Last point, and possibly biggest, is the limitations of the airport. Usually parking is almost always near capacity, flights are mostly to hub cities, though Chicago and New York and Miami flights are seasonal. If the airport could expand and add more flights, which is happening, it would help, but always will be limited as Atlanta and Orlando are “drivable” .
But with the new remote work economy, this entire region from Folry to Panama City is growing

If you actually talked with a mechanic, you'd know they give new guys shite for borrwing tools, most have a pretty hard held rule that if you ask to borrow the same tool twice, the next time you'll be told to buy your own.
Not the point. Dealerships are shifting the cost/risk of doing business to the mechanics and yet wonder why they can’t find people that chose to go into the field. Mechanic has to buy expensive tool x, then it is replaced by tool y, the mechanic takes the hit as an employee, not the dealership. And the dealerships have become such a strong force they don’t have to change. They own local politicians and judges so they get away with crazy business practices that hurt the consumer and clearly their own mechanics!
Look at the number of states that block direct to consumer sales. That’s the dealership lobby at work. Just an outdated business model that is so entrenched that we all suffer from it

Yea his performance against Georgia raised his stock quite a bit and the draft is looking weak for QBs. Unless he gets offered something crazy to stay (and approved of course).
NIL can be more profitable than rookie contracts,

Another example of the flawed dealership model. Why does the dealership not provide the tools? Imagine a hospital hiring a surgeon but saying you have to bring your own scalpels, etc. or a fry cook at a fast food restaurant bringing in his own deep fryer!
