“Just returned from the game” thread.

Truth. Can’t even remember the last time I ate anything at Rupp. I’m spoiled going to NBA games now where they do have some really good food. Last Sixers game we had Shake Shack burgers, OMG were they good.
The Shack burger is really good. I was surprised at how good it was
 
Anything about how Shaedon was with the team or during warm-ups?
I said last night in a different thread that SS has incredible range.

He was standing out in Tayshaun Prince v uNC territory last night hitting threes like it was nothing. He has a very smooth release and is a dead eye shooter. He's also very quick to the rim, although I only saw him cut to the rim a couple times.

I couldn't tell what he looked like size-wise, he looked like a chihuahua from my seat.

Thanks brother. I must have missed your post.
 
Dang @Gromcat , wish I knew you were going to he there. I was there as well, but sadly, my friend doesn't have the connections, or money that your friend apparently has.
My seats were pretty far north of yours, they had to pump light up to us we were so high.
I couldn't tell if the guy dunking the ball was Oscar or Zan.
Yeah, Rupp Arena looked great though. It'll be better once construction is done.

Next time I’ll post ahead of time and see who wants to meet up. Strictly platonic.

I’m usually where you are but got extremely lucky.

I noticed the lights kept going on and off up top. Like they’d black it out. I actually think I saw you, are you under / over 330 lbs?
 
I watched him from behind the UK bench and the only think I took away was he’s awfully quiet. Didn’t move much, no excitement. Guess it’s to be expected.

This made the whole trip worth it. Didn’t blur the face because of you guys but after what happened to backpacks kid years ago I’m careful. This guy is so awesome it’s hard to describe.

Very cool man. One I'm sure you and your kid(s) will remember for a lifetime.
 
@Gromcat Did you see anything regarding the handshake line after the game? I just saw it on TV and it looked strange. Camera just showed UK players looking like there was something going on at NSU's end and nobody shook hands.
Looked like they were told not to shake hands. It’s like the third game like that recently. Coronavirus buddy

If he’s better than Central in Memphis, then go ahead and plan a weekend for me.
He did some ribs one time and apparently he injected them with apple sauce throughout the umpteen hours he had them in the smoker. The flavor was only second to the moistness of the meat.
I love bbq and I love ribs, this stuff was better than anything I've ever had in that arena.

Lol at 'strictly platonic'.

No, I'm nowhere near 300lbs. But you probably did see me, I was wearing a blue shirt and I stared a lot at the cheerleaders.

Oh yeah, I asked bassboy if he was going to be there, he never answered. Shame.
 
What kind of smoker does he use?
Hell if I know. He has 4 of them, I do know that much.
He likes the old school smokers, but he used an electric one when I was there.
Dude gets up at 2am to start smoking.
I'm not doing that, heck, I'm still trying to figure out how to get the wife to say yes at 2am. It's a process these days. Timing is everything.
Guess you can say that about smoking meat and women.

Rupp concessions are warmed garbage...

Have to agree here and don't quite get it.

I will say the ice cream line moves quickly. I'm not a fan of it, it is good, but just like any other soft serve imho. However, my 6 yr old went with me to last game and had to have some...line was at least 50 deep and we were through it in 5 mins or so.

The rest of the food...meh. Feel like with all the local options, franchises, etc they could have some better offerings. The Reds crush it at GABP....local stuff, good options, pro sports always get it right nowadays.

2 a.m.? Ah hell no. Sorry folks, we'll be eating at 8 instead of 5
 
My son and I went to the Blue White game and they were serving this lemonade at one of the locations. It was better than any food in there LOL.

We went back for the High Point game and it was gone. I guess it was just one local company that was set up there just for that one event. We were bummed lol.

Be coming thru Memphis on Friday.Making the road trip to Lawrence.

Central BBQ. Make sure to hand it back if anything doesn’t taste fresh they have so much business sometimes u know how BBQ can be. If you hit the ribs on point, good luck ever eating BBQ again.

Ive always been a Joe Bologna’s guy, dating back to childhood. Went to Goodfellas for the first time, and as a fan of new York style, I’m sold. Friggin slice could slap my mom from 250 miles away.

Have to say I’m used to Busch Stadium and it slaughters Cinci pretty bad from a food standpoint. Not bashing, but the smell wasn’t the same either. Just a different ballpark feel. STL has incredible food at the games. From regular seats I mean.

I will say this for Cinci, love some tacos and that taco place right outside of the stadium is probably the best I’ve ever had. Can’t wait to go back there. Had a blast too, buddy gives me home plate seats for the cardinals game. It will totally ruin you lol.

I had that feeling about him too. He's that guy that doesn't watch gay porn, but he's appeared in a few films as a stunt double, but claims he's not gay, he's just a novice.
He definitely has smoked some meat in his day 😅😅😅

Yea for sure. I’ve been to Atlanta, Cincinnati, Miami, Chicago, and Arlington. All ballparks are wildly different. Maybe I’m biased, but I think Busch would rank the best. The worst was hands down Chicago. Been a few times to wrigley, most overrated old junk stadium you could imagine. Hate going, uncomfortable, horrible fans, nasty environment, but decent food. All of that STL - Chicago area food is good. But man I hate those idiots. Hate Atlanta fans more, Vandy syndrome…but Cub fans have been led by the media into thinking they’re special and really there’s nothing special about it.

The Cardinal HOF is really nice nowadays. Ballpark village is crazy hard to believe what they’ve done with the area around Busch. No excuse in not having Ken Griffey Jr. next to Ozzie and Stan though. 😃

I’ll trade you Royce Clayton and Fernando Tatis (SR) For him…..
