Breaking news!

Tuesday, December 21st, 2010

Man, I wish I had one of those Drudge Report siren things to put up here.

Anyway, Katz’s Deli, an Austin institution famous for their slogan “Katz’s Never Kloses”, is closing January 2nd.

I need to get down there before the 2nd. They did a really good breakfast. And this reduces the number of Thanksgiving/Christmas Day dining options by one.

(Hattip: Mom.)

(Edited to add: A.T. actually sent this to me at 1 PM today, beating Mom by 2 hours and 38 minutes. However, Mom sent it to one of the accounts that goes to my phone, while A.T. sent it to an account I don’t read until I get home at night. So Mom gets the hattip, but A.T. gets an acknowledgment.)

I had heard that Mike Leach was being considered for another coaching job. What I didn’t realize was that he was being considered because Maryland fired Ralph Friedgen on Monday (effective after the Terrapins play in the “Military Bowl presented by Northrop Grumman“).

Friedgen had a 74-50 record, and went 8-4 this year (better than UT did: at least Maryland is going to a bowl), though he also went 2-10 last year. I haven’t checked, but I wonder if the 2-10 record was caused by circumstances beyond Friedgen’s control.
