Slow-smoked BBQ brisket (which is, you know, beef) is freaking fantastic.
Fantastic is synonymous with edible in Texas. The best brisket in Texas is edible anywhere else in the world. Most of it would barely make the mark of edible. Smoked cow done in SoCal is infinitely better eating than brisket done anyway anywhere. One portion of Cardiff Crack and you’ll cure yourself of the brisket delusion. Either way though it ain’t BBQ ‘cause it ain’t pig.

Carolina BBQ is better than Texas BBQ

I just wonder how many years it will be in the SEC before the Horns start whining about revenue distribution, location of conference headquarters, media rights, or threatening to leave the conference. I give it five years, tops.
Missouri, A&M and every other Big 12 school (except for Nebraska) all voted exactly the same on every issue. Every single time. Missouri voted the same as Texas and A&M on revenue distribution, the location of the conference headquarters, schools controlling their tier 3 rights and being able to start to start their own networks - everything.
Nebraska was the only outlier. Their decisions have destroyed their program.
Still, Missouri and A&M are worse. They bitch and moan and cry, yet they voted the same as Texas every step of the way.
Missouri and A&M suck at everything. They have no one to blame but themselves. They need to stop blaming Texas.

They already have. Their AD Chris del Conte brought it up in an interview he did awhile back. He claims that future revenue sharing will be paid out by viewership of each game according to the new tv contract once the donghorns and chokelahoma come on board. He seems to think that this is something the tv contract will demand.

Two things:
1) If that is the new TV contract, that would imply that the current 14 SEC teams agreed to that contract. This literally has nothing to do with Texas, yet you spew bullshite trying to see what sticks against the wall.. Same song, different verse.
2) Why are you so insecure? Seriously. Are you really that scared of Big Bad Texas? It’s kinda sad honestly, but then again, you can’t talk about your own team.. so I suppose this is the only option that exists.

Or are you confusing guy on a message board Chip Brown with our athletic director?

Future revenue sharing will be broken down into 15 shares, one for each school and one for the SEC office (never understood that, but it is what it is). I highly doubt that would change or even be an issue to discuss.
Now I think that the teams that go bowling, make the ncaa's, etc. do get a small amount to be the team that goes, but I am not sure about that (I think it was the way it was in the past.)

It ain't even closse. BBQ has only been a thing in Texas for about 35 years...prior to that most places calling themselves "BBQ" places served roast beef with ketchup (they call in "brisket"). They have since discovered their mistake and started abusing pig by trying to learn how to cook BBQ. You can't sling a dead cat in South Carolina or North Carolina and sizeable areas of Georgia and Tennessee without hitting a gas station selling BBQ that would shame the owner of the best roast beef and ketchup place in Texas into shuttering the place and looking for another way to earn a living.
BBQ is pig. BBQ joints do not serve roast beef, beans, sausage, turkey and if they have Chicken they by damn call it BBQ Chicken, not BBQ, because they understand that BBQ is pig unless noted. It is always a butt...they may or may not sell ribs but they call them BBQ Ribs, not BBQ. They serve light bread, either hash and rice or Brunswick Stew without stinking lima beans, your choice of bread and butter pickles or dill, potato chips and possibly cole slaw if it is an upscale joint. If you ask they'll give you some sweet onion slices. They might offer stuff like mac and cheese, peas, collard greens. They use hickory. Period. No lousy mesquite or pecan used in actual BBQ. BBQ sauce derives most of its flavor from vinegar or mustard (which is also vinegar based) or a combination of both. Ketchup or tomato product and added sugars are used very sparingly, if at all, to allow the sauce some viscosity...neither is required though, some apple cider vinegar, a little melted butter and some red pepper flakes is traditional and is about as close to heaven as you can get while alive. Done properly sauce ain't even necessary...proper BBQ (pig) is just fine right by itself. They probably will not sell beer but they will sell the best sweet tea you ever drank not made by your mama or granny. They may or may not have coke...if they do its likely bottled. If they are close to a city they may sell a salad and a baked potato but if they know their stuff they ain't happy about it. The surrounding area will smell of hickory smoke for years after BBQ is pig.

You’re a flat arse effin liar. You denying Texas pressured everyone in every conference they have ever been in? Maybe you should educate yourself on the abuses of sainted DKR and DeLoss Dodds.

One minor correction, that vote was split 7-5. The four Texas schools plus Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, and Colorado voted for Dallas. The rest of the Big 8 voted for K.C. See end of 3rd paragraph.

At the risk of feeding the troll, allow me to retort. I get how BBQ is a passionate thing, and every region has "their" thing when it comes to the best and most glorious way to consume meat, but...come on.
Pump the brakes, my dude. No no no, no. Just no.
Have you been to Texas and eaten said roast beef with ketchup - or did someone visit you and talk up their BBQ game, to only disappoint you? Brisket is a specific cut, "roast beef" is a different cut entirely. However, a brisket cooked poorly is tough, chewy, and possibly burnt. Truly, the only roast beef and ketchup places around my area are Arby's.
I disagree - I define BBQ as a cooking process, regardless of the meat. Under this logic, a couchon de lait in Louisiana would technically be BBQ...but it most certainly is not. (Delicious, though. Allergy or not, I'll get down on some couchon de lait and deal with the aftermath.)
Also disagree. I find mesquite, unless VERY dry and used VERY sparingly, gives a bitter taste. I'm a big fan of pecan-smoke BBQ, preferably half-hickory and half pecan. I tend to use hickory chunks with water-soaked pecan chips to make mine. They work together very well.
Completely agree, except straight ketchup should never be used. (only as an ingredient in making a BBQ sauce, but really - there are better ways to do it) Sugar will just burn on the meat, so any sauce, if used at all, (it shouldn't be needed) should be put on the meat at the table after cooking, or possibly glazed on just before taking it out of the pit.
Another potential point of agreement - I do enjoy a cold beer with my brisket, but it's hard to beat sweet tea. Coke is a last resort - too overpowering.
It's easy to generalize on things, especially things with which we have only a passing acquaintance or familiarity with. I assure you, there are many gas station/ hole in the wall places scattered all across the state of Texas selling fantastic BBQ - even the pulled pork/ pork butt kind. Is it the same as what's in your area? No. Is it better? No, but it's also not worse - just different. I have a friend who was a competitive BBQ guy on the west coast who did the California tri-tip thing one time. It was good, it was different - but I'll take brisket over that every day and twice on Sunday.
Still have yet to try that Alabama white BBQ. Gotta get me some of that one day.

Then why do all the georgia BBQ joints sell brisket? Matter of fact, brisket is usually listed first on their menu. Don't get me wrong, I love me some pork bbq too. Pork ribs done right is about as good as it gets.

Beginning to wonder if you have ever even tried BBQ

The AwgustaDawg guy is the same guy who said all men from Texas love to dance and Texans couldn't make it on the coasts in the 1800s or some weird shite like that. He's like a very shitty chat AI bot.
