Not to be that guy but Levine, Applewhite, Holgorsen weren’t consecutive. Herman was in between Levine and Applewhite.

And don’t they all have winning records?

“Herman was in between Levine and Applewhite.” Of course, you are correct.
Note. Herman had a winning record prior to becoming UH’s HC and he had some success at UH.
Herman had never been a college head coach prior to UH.
As such, he had NO “record” prior to UH (much less a winning one), though he had been the OC on a national title winner at Ohio State.

DH is the first head coach we’ve hired with college head coaching experience since 2000. Many people complaining about him weren’t even born yet.

Triple D! They hit up CT on a lot of great places. Can’t say I had the place in Norwalk you mentioned, but Connecticut is great for ethnic food and most Nutmeggers (as they are called) are loyal of the food scenes, state wide. They are, however, unforgiving on mediocre Italian food and specifically, pizza. For you pizza gourmands, CT should be on your stopping list. There is real and fierce rivalry between CT and NYC style.
I’ll take your advice in SD. We go into town here and there, but parking in SD is rough. Wineries are great, but we’re a little lame - we stopped drinking a few years ago. Late 30s let you know of the beginning of aches and pains.
Thanks for the info.
We will be heading up to the Northeast for college visits later this fall and early spring. We will try to stop in CT and grab some food. I am always down for pizza.
Is this thread about food or attendance?
Don’t we have a food thread?
We do not?
Okidoki. I will create one.
We started talking about food because the conversation on attendance has become boring.
Everyone knows attendance is a problem: it always has been. It won’t change unless and until we, as a program, continually produce a winning program that can beat the big boys. Beating up on Tulane, Tulsa and ECU will not generate this sort of enthusiasm, UNLESS, we are also beating Louisville, TTU, BYU, Oklahoma, Kansas, etc.

Wasn’t he our offensive coordinator when he was made head coach?

Connecticut is overrated for food. I have family there and they do two things better than most, Lobster Rolls and Processed meats.
Lobster Landing has the best by far. It’s a shack on the water. Obvious all costs are in the food.
Rosol’s in New Britain has the best hot dogs, kielbasa, baloney & liverwurst known to man. The store is in an actual refrigerator. Bundle up!. They upgraded to some nice ladies on the counter replacing the surly Polish guys before. We buy a bunch of dogs & kielbasa, freeze them and wrap in news paper. We carry it on to make sure it doesn’t “get lost”. I told the TSA guy looking in my backpack to be careful. He asked why. Told him it was full of Rosol’s meats. He said “oh, the good stuff”.
Pizza overall is better than Houston but the quality can vary greatly.
Louis’s Lunch in New Haven is reputed to be the home of the first hamburger. My son, hamburger gourmand, crushed 3 of them.
My saying about New England food is they eat fried dough for breakfast and baked dough for dinner. It seems like there’s a Dunkin and a pizzeria on every block

The rest of your reply makes up for that initial face-slapper, but i contend: Connecticut pizza is considered some of the best in the country. I will defend CT pizza’s honor for maybe… one, or two more replies.
Perhaps you missed out on some of the amazing Italian or Portuguese spots. I would gladly take Dunkin’ every GD day of the week over Starbucks. We had 5 Dunkin’ locations within a 10-minute walk from our downtown apartment in Connecticut, and it was DELIGHTFUL.
I never made it to Louis Lunch - my wife is not a burger person, and it was a chore going to New Haven (even though it’s a great city). When we go back, I’m making a demand that we go.
Edit - PS: Great game spot is Archie Moore’s… they’re known for wings, but they’re more like turkey legs in size. Limited flavors, but decent.
One of the best parts of Connecticut eating are the people. This is my stereotype, but Nutmeggers some of the most genuinely kind, a-hole sounding people I’ve ever met. They might be backwards one some things, but they take two things serious: Pizza and Basketball.
Best Portuguese food is in Rhode Island.
There’s good pizza and some bad pizza in CT.
Rosol’s is the one thing that CT has that I have yet to find anywhere else in the USA that compares. When I was a kid, they were very common. My grandfather always brought liverwurst & limburger cheese when he visited. I think to PO my dad. Could never do the cheese but the liverwurst was awesome. .
You confirmed my assessment on Dunkin & Pizzeria on every block. Agree that Dunkin is better than Starbucks.
We only drove through RI to go to Boston. It was a nice drive until the traffic. We got to Providence and that was where we tried the Popeye’s Chicken Sandwich phenom that was raging at the time. It’s why I choose Popeye’s over Chickfila if I’m feeling piquant.
Other than that and the traffic, I’m sure Providence probably also means “depressing” in a foreign language.
My parents would have loved that liverwurst - I shudder at the memories of that smell.
Rhode Island McDonalds have lobster rolls and they were pretty good.

My last home port was Quonset Point, RI. I think RI is a pretty state and Narraganset Bay is beautiful. Can’t say I remember much about the food, but on sailor’s pay I didn’t eat at the finer restaurants.
Emeril was from Rhode Island. Met him when we had to do menu planning for an event for Travel & Leisure Magazine and the Brennan family were hosts. Emeril was the Chef at Commander’s Palace.

How was he? I’m sure he’d be fun at a happy hour.
It’s Friday night let’s see how many fans Memphis has tonight, will be interesting as Houston fans complain and can’t make it out to the game lol
Like he didn’t want to be there. Basically rubber stamped what my chef and I came up with. I met Paul Prudhomme as well. Neither guy was friendly. The thing I remember about Prudhomme was how tiny his hands were.
