Recruiting Football Talk VII

What type fridge box we talkin' about here? Micro or Sub Zero?

Good luck getting your hands on a sub-zero box. That's pretty high $ stuff.

Anyone have recommendations for the OBX? My wife and I are mountain over beach people, but my daughter really wants to go to the beach, and OBX looks like a good compromise for us. Looking for somewhere moderate price wise, but not too crowded. Any tips appreciated.

Take the ferry out to Cape Lookout. Hopefully you'll see the wild horses that way, but consider a ferry to Shackleford Banks to see them.

Rent a house as a home base and try to see as many lighthouses as make sense for you and your time.

Go surf fishing. This is the mecca for that.

We’ve had Rosatti’s for quite awhile now and they had a very good Italian Beef, but they slipped big time in quality.

Quality at Rosati's Pizza has slipped big time in Arizona as well.

Five Guys is Burger version of Taco Bell.

WTH???

 

[Enki_Amenra]

Stayed at the Francis Marion last time I was in Charleston. It was pretty nice.

I'd reccomend using RedWeek.com
They rent out people's timeshare condos. They're usually very nice resorts (4 & 5 *). They generally have good deals too.

I'll snoop about Cherokee Park on our way there.

 

[Vol423]

Yes, in fact. I love them. Like Bison or Elk burgers best.

I grew up in JC. The best burgers were arguably made by the Kalogeros'. Or, if you wanted to slap Steve Spurrier's brother five at the Horseshoe...good burger.

Gary has passed, but the Son's and Grandsons now run... View attachment 641200
Bacon, Gouda, and Fried Egg. Lettuce, tomato, and Red Lettuce. Little Mustard, ketchup.

However, best is Gourmet and Company. Benton's bacon, cheddar, and garlic aioli.

Runner up is the Drunken Goat at Label.

These are not fast food or even fast casual burgers.

Pretty sure it's the first elite 8 in school history. Also Texas was the #2 overall.

Girls play tomorrow I think. They upset the undefeated #1 team in S16.

Nah, they made it to the semifinals in 2021 and 2022. Then lost in championship back in 2010. They have been pretty competitive overall, but the competition is tough and tennis is a weird sport.

2024 (Ranked 7): Lose to the #2 team, that hasn't lost since March 2. Closest match Texas had since then.
2023 (Ranked 8): Lose to #9 USCe. This was a hard one to stomach as we had beat them a month earlier 6-1
2022 (Ranked 6): Lost in the semi's to the eventual champion UVA. Similar story as this year in that UVA was hot and had only lost at an invitational event at the start of the season
2021 (Ranked 3): Lost in the semi's to Baylor. Would have played UF for a 3rd time in the season if we would have won. Lost to them in season and then beat UF in SEC championship.

Wild horses would be great, rather see wild yeti though.

Here are the rentals for the Outer Banks. Seems fairly priced, considering what you're getting (private bedrooms, etc)

She said ... '(you) dont like fried chicken, do you even like burgers.'

My response, and rant

 

[Jackcrevol]

Can I use you as a reference? "You know that Jackcrevol from Vol Nation? He said you'd cut me a deal."

Sure, got for it.

I know it isnt OBX, but I bet you could get a deal in Myrtle.

 

[COOKEVOL]

Thanks for all the suggestions!

This pretty much hits the OBX high points

Here is a great resort. 2 bedroom/sleep 6 condo.

 

[Jackcrevol]

Here is a good deal on a 1 bedroom condo on East Bay St (in the middle of downtown Charleston.) Too bad it's only 3 nights. Heckuva a resort.

Uhh, need some Charleston in my life.

@Enki_Amenra wonder if Wild Dunes has any deals? In IoP?

 

[Jackcrevol]

Youve got Litchfield & Georgetown also.

 

[Enki_Amenra]

Uhh, need some Charleston in my life.

I wish it were 5 nights, I'd be tempted to go. . . 3 nights isn't bad though. Only about a 6 HR drive.

 

[COOKEVOL]

Gatlinburg by the sea. j/k Now she's talking Savannah. Hands. Thrown. Up. No need to De'rail the thread any longer. Thanks again for all the input!

3 nights wouldnt be worth with the ninos.

4 nights tops, if other families are involved. 2 nights, perhaps 1.

Ya, I agree. Freddy's competes (only place I know that uses beef fat for their fries instead of oil), but I'd still put Five Guys ahead. Everyone else beyond Freddy's isn't even close.

I love Freddy's too. Great burgers. I would love them more if their fries were not so tiny. I love the fries sauce but don't like the skinny fries, LOL.

Damn shame. I got real excited when they opened a franchise near my home. How do you mess up deep dish? That franchise imploded in less than two years.

 

[drvenner]

Honestly I have never had Pals. Sounds like a stoopit name for a burger place though.

Whatevs, Chief. I mean, what is a good name for a burger place? I definitely would not eat somewhere called Glitch's.

Steak fries or GTFO.

And the crazy thing is that Portillos isn’t the best Italian Beef in Chicago and it’s really good. Italian beef is an amazing sandwich.

I even had one at Wrigleyville Dogs and it was amazing there too.

Dammit. I already googled and the closest Portillo's is 269 miles away in Indianapolis.
