Szechuan Gourmet
- missmasala Jul 1, 2010 01:22 PM
Had dinner at Szechuan Gourmet last night and thought I would start a new thread, as when I was searching yesterday I couldn't find any threads specifically about this restaurant.
Overall, we enjoyed the meal. Our waiter was great. If I needed a good meal in the neighborhood, I would def come back.
We had:
spicy cucumbers--these were great, would order them again
smoked tofu with asian celery--this wasn't bad, but doesn't hold a candle to the version served at spicy and tasty, which is one of my fave dishes of all time
dan dan noodles--i order these for the kids and they were fine, but not spectacular in any way
szechuan pork dumplings with roasted chili soy--these were excellent, the best rendition i've had. very garlicky. i would come back for these alone.
braised fish filets with napa and roasted chili--hands down the best dish of the night. unbelievably delicious, and much better than the version at S & P.
crispy lamb with cumin--good, but i prefer the version at grand sichuan in bay ridge and even the version at the st. mark's place.
stir-fried string beans--okay, but better other places
sauteed pea leaves--these were very good. at other places they are often either overcooked or greasy. here they were perfectly cooked and fresh-tasting
braised assorted mushrooms casserole--good dish if you like mushrooms, which i do
10 ingredient lo mein--not a bad rendition. i enjoyed it. this was ordered by a member of our party who ordered a lot of cantonese dishes. the pork spare ribs were awful, the wonton soup mediocre and the general tso's chicken okay, but these things aren't what i go to a szechuan restaurant for. i would order the lo mein again, tho, partly for the kids and partly as a complementary dish for all the spicy szechuan stuff, b/c it did taste good here.
haven't tried the other szechuan place across the st, so can't compare, but on the whole i would say better than the st mark's or 23rd st place, but not as good as S &P or grand sichuan in bay ridge. Still haven't made it to little pepper, so can't speak to how it stacks up there.

re: gutsofsteel
LS is just not not as good as SG and has a much more limited menu.
re: scoopG
Agree strongly.
re: gutsofsteel
Yes, I think SG has gone way down hill. Probably a victim of it's success after the Bruni review. I much prefer Lan Sheng these days, though like all Chinese restuarants in Manhattan there are some land mines on the menu. Beef dish with napa cabbage was a positive stand out. Also really enjoyed some of their rabbit dishes.

re: kathryn
thanks. but how do you pull those up when the search is limited to the last year?
re: missmasala
If you type Szechuan Gourmet into "search this board" you can cull from 10+ pages of various reviews, not all about SG though. But enough.
re: scoopG
I did that, but none of them had "Szechuan Gourmet" in the heading.
re: missmasala
I sorted by relevance and changed the date to "past 5 years."
re: kathryn
hmm, didn't know you could do that. not that techno-savvy. but thanks for the tip!
re: scoopG
i will make it to little pepper one of these days. lately my sichuan meals have all been with a big crowd, and for some reason i assume little pepper is too small to accomodate us.
re: missmasala
little pepper is better than spicy and tasty (to me) and would def be fine for a large group as i have done that often. they move to a new and bigger space sometime this summer fyi. but SG is a great manhattan substitute as is lan sheng!
re: missmasala
It's small but they have 3 big tables - was there with a group of 16 last weekend at lunchtime and there was no problem in accommodating us at 2 of the tables.
re: missmasala
And the tea smoked duck was a disappointment because...?
re: scoopG
greasy and flabby
I finally got my SO over to this place to try before a concert last week. We were VERY impressed and look forward to going back (and we are BIG fans of Grand Sichuan on 24th & 9th!) very soon. We loved the "kung pao" chicken-style dish. SO is a major kung pao chicken snob and he said this was probably one of the best, if not THE best he's ever had. We loved the dumplings and the dan dan noodles, too. I was so looking forward to the double cooked pork belly dish based on all the raves here and I was, sadly, VERY disappointed in that. I don't know if we got a bad batch, or what, but the meat was greasy/fatty (not in a good, yummy way), sorta mushy and "old" tasting for lack of a better way to describe it. What a let down. Should I try again, or steer clear? Or ask for "crispy" or something when ordering? It was not at all what I was expecting and I was bummed. I was even more bummed that we had to leave so much food behind, since we were going to a concert after and couldn't take home leftovers! :-( Next time, we want to go with a larger group so we can try more dishes!
re: saturngrrl
That pork belly sounds ... not great. Sorry you had a bad experience with that dish, but it sounds like the others made up for it.
Note: if you come back with a large group, try to make a reservation on the morning of or the day before, as they can get crowded. Also, I believe they stop seating people around 9pm, so don't try to have a late dinner there!
re: kathryn
Thanks for the tips! So, would you say we got a bad batch? Because I was totally expecting it to taste heavenly, but it really was pretty disgrossting. Huge disappointment. Not to keep harping on it or anything! LOL! I just can't decide if I want to try again or skip it and move on to the cumin beef/lamb. (I am not a lover of lamb, but the descriptions of that dish have made me want to try it because it *sounds* like it doesn't really taste super lamb-y! But maybe I'm better off with the beef version?)
re: saturngrrl
Pork belly is supposed to be fatty. So you're fatty description sounds like that's the way it's supposed to be. Mushy? No, I'd probably describe it more as chewy. If it's mushy, perhaps it was a bit off. Personally, it's not one of my faves but many posters here seem to like it.
re: saturngrrl
"I was so looking forward to the double cooked pork belly dish based on all the raves here and I was, sadly, VERY disappointed in that."
Have you had pork belly before as opposed to regular sliced or shredded pork?
re: Bob Martinez
I have, on tasting menus, etc., at non-Szechuan (non-Asian, really) places. Usually completely different prep/presentation though. More "bacon-y," I guess, would be how I'd describe it. This dish tasted like it was either old or not fully/properly cured or something. Wish I could find a better way to put it into words. Ah well. I'm sure I'll find other stuff to love...
re: saturngrrl
If you have not had pork belly or streaked pork at Szechuan or other Chinese places I would guess that you did not get a bad batch. The prep here is not like it is in other cuisines, the fat is toothsome as opposed to melting in other braised or braised and seared preps. I like it but I have always liked barely cooked bacon which is slightly similar in texture.
re: saturngrrl
As others have said, pork belly is a bit different than other cuts of pork. It's softer and fattier than you might expect. That said, it *is* possible for it to be cooked incorrectly. It happened to me at a different restaurant once.
Since you seemed to like the restaurant you may want to go back some time with a few other people who are familiar with the dish. They can confirm that the pork belly you get is done right. It might be that it's just not for you. Since SG has a long menu you'll still be able to order plenty of things that you'll enjoy.
FWIW, here's a picture of SG's pork belly with chili leeks so you can see how it ought to look.
re: Bob Martinez
I was there on Sunday and the dish was as it should be- just like the photo and delicious.
re: scoopG
Thanks to all for the replies/feedback. Yeah, our pork belly didn't quite look that good (like in that photo). The meat was... uh, grayer. I don't know how else to explain it! It definitely did not taste delicious! I'll ask next time which one is the chewier one. That's, I think, what we'd prefer.
re: saturngrrl
i get the double cooked pork belly a lot. most of the time you get it the way it looks in that picture but once in a while it definitely comes out looking " old and gray." the grayness is noticable even though I get mine extra spicy every time. you see the grayness even through the extra quarter inch of chili oil they throw on top. doesn't affect the taste much though.
re: saturngrrl
Pork Belly slices with leeks is not a dish you can really can ask for "crispy" - just not the way it is prepared.
re: saturngrrl
they have two different cuts/styles for the return-cooked pork belly. I often get confused which is which on their English menu, too: one is supposed to be greasy and fatty while the other one is chewier and has more meat. please ask your waiter. different people on this forum have different preferences, but I believe both dishes are fine.
re: diprey11
As far as I know SG has only one menu and it is bi-lingual. I think Twice Cooked Pork (回锅肉 Hui Guo Rou) can use pork belly and/or pork butt.
re: saturngrrl
Speaking as the Kung Pao snob to whom she refers in the post, I have to say, this was some of the best Chinese food I've ever had. The Kung Pao was authentic - which is next to impossible to find on the east coast: no added celery, carrots, green peppers, water chestnuts or other things that just don't belong in this dish. Everything we had was great - I actually enjoyed the pork belly, though would've liked it a little less "mushier" as well. Overall, the best Chinese food I've had, since moving here from CA in 2007.
Szechuan Gourmet
21 W 39th St, New York, NY 10018
Had dinner here last night with the amusing waiter who asks "So, are you hungry yet?" when it's time to order, and "Do you surrender?" when it's clear we won't finish our food.
Housed the spicy cucumber salad in minutes -- spiciness with the sweet, crispy Japanese cucumers. So good, so addictive.
Dan dan noodles were OK, I still think Grand Sichaun 7th Ave or Cheng Du Tian Fu have better ones (more peppercorn). Ordered them because my husband LOVES all dan dan mien.
Pork dumplings with chili soy were awesome. Love how the sweet plays off the spicy in these and the filling was nice and tender. Did break apart a little, with the meat falling out. Mapo tofu was very good, and sweat-inducing as usual. Should gotta two orders.
The special of smoky chicken with chili, chili, chili was solid. I wish there was more meat in this. Also the many slices of purple jelly (looked a lot like konnyaku) was a little odd.
Cumin lamb was excellent, really great dish, served very hot and fresh. I want to basically eat this all the time now. Grand St Marks does a very good cumin beef, BTW.
With the winter coming up soon, I imagine I'll be craving this place a lot.
re: kathryn
Thanks for your update and glad to know they are still on top. Surprised you did not order their Sichuan version of the 1000 Year Old Egg appetizer - since your BIL must have enjoyed the Cantonese version with pickled ginger in HKG!
re: scoopG
D'oh! Well we had leftovers anyway, ordered too much to begin with!

The Waiting Room; Southbank.
The Waiting Room
8 Whiteman Street
High teas are incredibly alluring. What's not to love - dainty petite finger sandwiches and pint-sized sweet treats showcased on shiny tiered trays. Momo & Coco have covered an impressive selection of high teas in Melbourne.
And yet it can often be a disappointing affair. Mummy P&T shares my apprehension and it took some coaxing & cajoling before she relented to a pre-celebration the day before Mother's Day. I was hoping to see what Chez Dre had up their sleeves for their Mother's Day High Tea but due to prior arrangements we weren't in Melbourne on the day itself.
Neil Perry's The Waiting Room offers both Afternoon Tea (12pm ~ 5pm) and High Tea (5pm ~ 9pm). You have the option of a sober and proper affair with Tea or Coffee ($42), a toast with glasses of Chandon Blanc de Blancs ($55) or popping bottles of Duval Leroy Champagne ($65).
The distinction between the two.
Silver Needle // Jasmine Pearls // Organic Dragon Well Green // Yunnan Gold // English Breakfast // Earl Grey // Peppermint // Chamomile // Fresh Mint
A generous selection of teas in precious glass teapots.
Parmesan Biscuits & Anchovy Twists
The top tier - crumbly parmesan biscuits and fresh flaky buttery twists.
Finger Sandwiches - Cucumber & Chive Butter // Smoked Salmon & Cream Cheese // Chicken & Walnut // Boiled Egg & Avruga Caviar
Light and dainty bites.
Cakes - Chocolate, Peanut & Caramel Tart // Fruit Mince Tart // Passionfruit Mirroir // 'Fairy' Eclair // Alfajore
I wasn't fond of their sweets truth be told. I don't have an incredibly sweet tooth - if you ever see me eyeing a sweet treat or a pastry, you'll know I'm famished. What I do have is a soft spot for chocolate and the intriguing.
Here, what you see if what you get - the mirroir is mousse & butter cake, the alfajore is meringue & a crumbly toffee almost, chocolate glaze peanuts and mostly caramel in a chocolate shell.
Orange & Vanilla Scones with House-Made Strawberry Jam & Cream
I love scones. And these scones. You don't need to go all the way up to Mt Dandenong for scones when you have these gorgeous fluffy delights right here. They were warm crumbly and so soft within, enticingly firm on the outside. The scones have a lovely orange citrusy aroma, perfect with the fresh jam with chunks of strawberries intact.
And you can order these off the carte menu too.
Everything is freshly made, it's a gorgeous intimate spot tucked away at the side. Perfect for tea with the ladies during the day, and a drink or two before dinner at night.

The third installment in the Blue Rabbit saga has arrived! Its a little delayed compared to the gap between the first and second, but I've only started working on it recently. It still has the wobbly style, but its less shaky than the previous 2. Everything is still drawn 6 times! There is also a bit more of a storyline, although no speech, so you have to pay attention if you want to understand it! I did it with my amazing Wacom Pen tablet, so its all hand drawn.
A few credits if anyone is interested:
Writer: Dim
Artist: Dim
Music: Moby, 'One of these mornings' from the album '18'.
Tom helped out a little, a few suggestions here and there.
-I hope you enjoy watching it as much as I enjoyed making it.
Leave a review, I always read them, and respond to lots of them.
The Blue Rabbit platformer, based vaguely on the video game section from Another Day Two is nearing some sort of completion. Look out for that.

Rated 5 / 5 stars September 2, 2006
A great flash. I love the sketchy style, the music in this series always seems to fit perfectly, and this episode adds a little more depth to the life of the bunny and what goes on in this little town.
Overall, a great flash, keep up the awesome work.

What a emotional day that was
This was very interesting, you guys really pull it off on this episode. I didn't expect to see this to be so emotional. the mood was quite moving and a bit convincing. but i'm glad it turn out the best. you guys did a brilliant job on this.

The world is suddenly full of great quarterbacks — or, maybe, these folks are merely very good. Anyhow, they're all over the country. At least two of them are still in school, Aaron Rodgers of Cal and Matt Leinart of USC. And at least two other young ones played like old pros again Sunday: Ben Roethlisberger of the Pittsburgh Steelers and David Carr of the Houston Texans.
At 6 feet 5 and 242 pounds, Big Ben Roethlisberger, who looks even bigger, is an unbeaten rookie from Miami (Ohio) whose next test, in Dallas Sunday against tricky coach Bill Parcells, will be his toughest yet. Moving with the agility of a 200-pound quarterback, the rookie only had to close out Cleveland to win his third straight, 34-23.
That made the 4-1 Steelers first in the AFC North, surprising even their veteran coach, Bill Cowher.
In his Pittsburgh career going back to 1992, Cowher, a 126-85 winner, has rarely been a fast starter. Nor has he won any Super Bowls. Principally, all this time, he's been looking for a quarterback. For as one of the league's fine defensive coaches, Cowher always has a running game, and in recent years he has also embraced passing as the way to go. But he's never had a champion passer. This year, finally, he might be grooming one.
The One-Dimensional Vikings Roll On
THE MINNESOTA VIKINGS, on their three-game October tour of the South, will be in New Orleans Sunday to show the Saints how to be a commanding winner in the NFL after losing all your veteran running backs to injury. You simply throw the ball on two of every three plays, as the Vikings did last Sunday to finally beat back Houston's young quarterback Carr in overtime, 34-28.
Altogether, as the one-dimension Vikings struck for more than 500 yards in Houston, quarterback Daunte Culpepper gained 418 yards on passes and scrambles by comparison with the 92 net produced by the Minnesota running game.
Carr, starting his third year at Houston out of Fresno State, showed the passing and running skills of the good NFL veterans — particularly the toughness to get up from sacks and throw strikes — even though, in the fifth quarter, the veteran Culpepper was too much for him
According to an NFL rule of thumb, it takes a well-balanced, two-dimensional team to succeed, and it's true that running teams lacking a passing game have in recent years had serious troubles (the Miami Dolphins come first to mind.) Yet the rule of thumb has never been challenged by a good one-dimension passing team, and that's what Minnesota is with Culpepper and two of the NFL's great wide receivers, Randy Moss and Marcus Robinson. To win, Minnesota scored five touchdowns — all on pass plays. In football, a one-dimension passing team can succeed even though a one-dimension running team can't.
Turnovers Overrated to Coaches Who Understand Football
THE ST. LOUIS RAMS had lost the first half in Seattle, 24-7, as quarterback Marc Bulger threw two interceptions and was sacked twice. And at halftime, in bars and during gabfests all over the land, the old-timers who don't like the Rams' pass-minded coach, Mike Martz, were pounding the table and sarcastically shouting: "Keep passing, Mike. Keep passing! Keep passing!"
That was last Sunday, and it drew a big laugh from everyone. Martz, though, didn't hear it, and anyhow he doesn't often take advice. In the last five minutes of the game, he simply kept passing to catch the Seahawks — who in the fourth quarter had stepped out to a 27-10 lead — and in overtime he kept passing to win, 33-27.
Here's the point: An interception or a sack is nothing but a nuisance to a passing team — along with dropped passes and other bothersome problems like offside penalties in noisy visiting stadiums where unsporting homers try to upset the visitors' offense. Turnovers are, in fact, inevitable for teams that throw numerous passes. Inevitable but not disruptive. To a passing team, a turnover merely annoys, it doesn't destroy. A passing team simply absorbs the shock of a turnover and keeps passing to overcome the turnover.
As I've said for years, turnovers are overrated. Of all the adverse things that happen to good football teams, turnovers are the most overrated. Fear of turnovers is a relic of the days when Martz's old critics were active young men playing the football of their era — running-game, field-position football — and trying their mightiest to make no mistakes. That was admirable, then, perhaps, although to focus heavily on the avoidance of mistakes is to miss a lot of touchdowns and a lot of fun.
Then and now, turnovers have been disastrous to teams playing running-game, field-position football — which was Chuck Noll's football in the years when Terry Bradshaw was his quarterback and the Steelers were winning Super Bowls with probably the best talent ever banded together.
In today's passing game, field position is itself greatly overrated. Every NFL week, passers move their teams up and down the field at will, as, most recently, Tennessee moved Monday night. You're stuck on your own 10-yard line? No problem. Just throw the ball.
Note to Martz Critics: He Did Try to Run
THE RAMS made two unacceptable mistakes at Seattle. First, coach Martz demonstrated that at times, between games, he does listen to his critics, both the sarcastic ones and the sincere, all of whom tell him repeatedly that he should start running the ball. Second, perhaps trying to heed his critics in the first half at Seattle, he ran it with running backs Marshall Faulk and rookie Steven Jackson — two of the NFL's best — at all the wrong times.

Josh Nesbitt will be a lot better this fall, so says coach Paul Johnson.
And he wasn't saying that because Nesbitt had a bad year last year.
Nesbitt rushed for almost 700 yards and four touchdowns, passed for 800 yards and two more TDs while helping Tech come very close to winning the ACC's Coastal Division.
And that was just his first season as a starting college quarterback and playing in an offense that was very different than anything he had played before. After all, he was a passing quarterback at Greene County High School.
While Nesbitt wouldn't give up his recipe for pork chops, he did talk about the LSU game, and the expectations for this season (they are quite high).
When I return, we can talk about Gani Lawal's decision and how it will affect Tech, as well as the rest of the ACC.
Also, to clarify how the AJC uses blogs: we don't break news on the blogs, we generally talk about the news that has happened. So, go to ajc.com/sports or http://www.ajc.com/gatech/content/sports/gatech/index.html?cxntlid=nav_sprts_tch for news about Tech. Come to the blog to talk about that news.
Also, we have a separate blog for recruiting, which Darryl Maxie capably oversees.
So, onto the conversation with Nesbitt:
AJC: How's the shoulder?
JN: Everything's healing well. 100 percent.
AJC: So you ready to get out there?
JN: Yes sir. Back with the team doing everything.
AJC: Coach Paul Johnson remarked yesterday that most people forget last year was your first season as a college starting quarterback. What's the biggest difference between what you know about the offense in the fall, compared to now?
JN: In the fall it was like starting over, learning new things. Now, I feel like I have everything down pat and a feel for what coach wants me to do. I know what coach wants me to do. When I go out on the field, I know what checks coach wants me to make. I know where guys are supposed to be. So, I feel real comfortable right now.
AJC: Does it feel like you operating on instinct, as opposed to thinking about everything like in the fall?
JN: I don't have to think as much. Everything's just been quick now.
AJC: He said yall looked a lot faster in spring practice. Did yall feel that as well?
JN: Yes, because this offense is something that's new for everybody. All of us have adjusted to it very well. Now that we know this we can just go out and play.
AJC: People are asking coach yesterday that now teams have a year's worth of game film that they will be able to stop yall's offense. Paraphrasing, he said "I find that hilarious, I really do. You can still beat us, but it's not going to because you come up with some new scheme." Does his confidence carry over to the team?
JN: Of course. We feel like any given moment of the game, any given set we can score. It doesn't matter if you play it right, it only takes one person to be wrong.
AJC: When you first started learning the offense did you feel that way?
JN: Yes, because that's the way he taught it. Because he taught us that if we do everything right, and everybody's on the same page, there's going to be a big play somewhere.
AJC: Yall have got a lot of speed at the skill positions this year. Is that fun for you when you are thinking about the checks and what may happen?
JN: Oh yeah. It doesn't matter who is in the game, we don't lose a step with anyone. We're a lot more loaded than we were last year.
AJC: Who is the fastest player on the team now? And you can't say you.
JN: I'm going to go with Morgan Burnett is fastest.
AJC: I didn't know if Marcus [Wright] was faster.
JN: No, Marcus is not faster.
AJC: Who's second fastest, who does it come down to?
JN: Not including myself, I would say kind of a tie. Mario Edwards or Jonathan Dwyer.
AJC: The offensive line had a lot of injuries to the starters in the spring. Two of the guys missed the whole spring, another guy missed some of the spring. Does that concern you going into August, or does it give you a little more confidence because other people got to get some reps.
JN: I'm not concerned. People can be injured, but as long as they stay in the game mentally and their backups are getting reps I feel pretty good about it.
AJC: Reading your bio in the media guide, it said one thing you cook very well is pork chops. What's your pork chop recipe?
JN: I can't tell you that. My mother will get mad for that one.
AJC: Can you even give a hint? Give a hint to a good porkchop?
JN: Know what you are doing.
AJC: Ever had a porkchop as good as you make? Or your mom makes?
JN: No.
AJC: It's a tough beginning to the schedule this year. What's going to be the key to getting a good start?
JN: Just us as a team making sure everybody is on the same page, meaning all three aspects of the game, kicking, defense, offense. Make sure everybody knows their role and make sure we have fun.
AJC: If we could talk about the bowl game for a second. Do you think, had yall caught the first touchdown pass, would it have been a different game?
JN: I think it would have been a different game.
AJC: Was it deflating?
JN: At the time, me myself, I have to have a short memory. Once I looked back at it, what if we had done this, had done that. You can't dwell on the past much. You can only look at the future.
AJC: Was it the fastest defensive line you faced last year?
JN: Fastest, hands down. Fastest and biggest.
AJC: If people watch film of that, do you think they will have keys to beat yall? You can't coach size and speed.
JN: People will go back and watch the film. If you really go back and watch that film we beat ourselves.
AJC: Any other moments from that game. If I had done this or done that?
JN: Me, myself. I got too emotional. I think I have grown and matured from that. Somebody from back home always told me your facial expression will tell you everything, and your body language. People will feed off my body language because I'm the leader of the team. I believe in that game I had very poor body language. I just got too caught up in the game.
AJC: How do you feel as a passer. I know yall worked a lot on that in December and a lot in the spring. How much improvement do you feel you've made?
JN: A lot because not many people realize this I was a passer coming into college. My first year I was used to run the ball so I wasn't working on any passing. so I got back to the basic with footwork and throwing mechanics. And still working on it to this day. Getting better.
AJC: Any wrinkles to this offense we can expect to see?
JN: Very explosive.
AJC: What are your expectations for this year?
JN: [long pause]
AJC: Coach said yesterday he expects to win every game.
JN: We 're looking to be 14-0. Whatever comes with that.
AJC: What do you have planned for the rest of the summer?
JN: Class.
AJC: What classes are you taking?
JN: Math, International Affairs and an Independent Study class. Besides school, just work hard to get better. Build my confidence even higher than what it is right now.
Right now we are pretty high.
AJC: Which player were you most impressed by in the spring?
JN: Everybody got better. Even our redshirt people came in and, knowing that this is their year to play, they stepped up really big for us in the spring.
AJC: Anything you want to say to the Georgia Tech fans out there?
JN: To hell with Georgia.

I love the 14 and O part. That's the only way to think at this point. Paul Johnson is in a position to be a great coach at a great school with a great history. He can even be the greatest! Should be a great year for Georgia Tech!

Seriously AJC, can we find a way to keep these blog comments from getting like this? Some 15 year olds on both sides are getting out of hand
Great interview Doug. Keep them coming. I'd be interested in an interview with Wommack and an outlook for the new D.
As for the article itself, Josh Nesbitt is a warrior. The Miami and UNC games proved he will sacrifice for the team. With two good wheels and the weapons he has around him, our offense will be potent this year. I think he throws for 1500 and runs for 1000 if he stays healthy. Sept. 5 is inching closer

This gets me even more pumped up baby….I love hearing from the players…their confidence! I can't wait til Toe meets Leather!

Doug: Nice read. Thank you.
Interesting comments from Josh about fastest players on the team: Burnett and then a tie between Dwyer and Edwards. I had read on a message board where Cooper Taylor was one of the faster, if not fastest, players on the team.
It would be interesting to see where guys like Taylor, Marcus Wright, Embry Peeples, Roddy Jones, etc., stack up against Burnett, Dwyer and Edwards.
Enjoyed the blog.

I would love to see more passing this year, I can't wait to see how good this offense can really be. Hold on cause it's going to be a fun ride.

June 19th, 2009

Nice article Doug, I was hoping you were going to ask about some shotgun formations or new wrinkles to the offense. CPJ has said many times, he's only implemented about half of the offense.
I love that last line, THWG!!!

NES will be BITT at the end of this year making his record 1-2 vs. the DAWGS!!
June 19th, 2009
9:36 am
It is amazing how the entire GA Tech program and players are only focused on beating GA! Other programs strive for bowl wins, conference championships, etc… Tech gets rings made for beating a team that is on the schedule every SINGLE year. Great season guys!
June 19th, 2009
9:47 am
gtsux: Last year was Nesbitt first year as a starter, so he's technically 1-0 versus the mutts and will be 2-0 after this year.
June 19th, 2009
9:53 am
They got a ring to commemerate the bowl game… that has been repeated countless times. They got to choose what they wanted to inscribe on the inside and they put the score of their rivalry game. Big freakin deal. UGA retired a players jersey who "stopped the drought against tech". PJ and JN just said in the interview that they're plan is to win all 14 games. NOT JUST 1. Quit being bitter about the loss last year and focus on your own team. Why are you on the GEORGIA TECH BLOG and not the GEORGIA BLOG? Ever think it's YOU that obsesses a little too much about US and not the other way around. I'm not on the UGA blog because I hate the Dawgs. What would I get about reading about them or what their fans have to say? Guess I wouldn't read much from you there since you're always here with us. What a douchebag.
June 19th, 2009
10:00 am
P.S. Why are you reading an article entitled "Q and A with Josh Nesbitt?" Why would a die hard dawg fan care about that article? Or are you only here to harrass people and act like a douche?
June 19th, 2009
10:30 am
that is exactly why he's on here. Dog fans come on gt blogs and try to be tough guys by talking down to people. What they don't know is they come off looking like whiney ignorant f-tards. And don't give me the old bs about.."you're on our blogs so we come on yours"….blah blah blah STFU and go away.
Nesbitt sounds like he has his sh*t together. Very confident young man and gt is lucky to have him running the show on the field. Good luck this year Jackets!!

Phil why don't you talk to m, yellow fuzz, Ramble, St Simons, etc about trolling opposing teams blogs. I'm a dawg fan but read the blog because I like to follow stories about teams UGA competes against. Nesbitt seems like a good leader and I wish him well against everyone not wearing the red and black.
June 19th, 2009

Is is true that Roddy Jones injured his wrist while lifting weights?
June 19th, 2009
10:48 am
As a Dawg fan, I respect what Tech and Johnson did in year one. That being said, I do think the offense will be better this year, but so will people playing you the second time around and LSU showing a plan of blowing up the play at the line ( Les miles words, not mine). My business partner is a Tech Grad and a season ticket holder. He is worried about the Defense. Most teams will run on you and control the clock and keep that great offense on the sidelines. That's what I hope my Dawgs do.
June 19th, 2009
10:49 am
To hell with Georgia?? Any football team that buys a ring b/c they finally beat a team they had been dominated by over the past 7 years, is pathetic. Time to start another streak
June 19th, 2009
10:53 am
I've seen some extensive chatter on another site that Roddy Jones recently broke his wrist while lifting weights. Anyone else heard this?
June 19th, 2009
10:54 am
The is something about PJ's confidence that reminds you of Spurrier. Instead of being politically correct he is honest, what a refreshing way to be. This team will win and drive the rest of the world crazy doing it which will produce a following at Grant Field.
June 19th, 2009
10:59 am
November 24, 2009 the stars return to their proper alignment. The Dawgs are gonna break you gnats down like a single barrel shotgun.
June 19th, 2009
11:10 am
i really like josh's game and i love his attitude. he really showed great promise as the season went along–and by promise, i mean he continued to improve in johnson's system. i hope he can stay healthy. i know with this offense, the quarterback can take some hits….and i think josh is tough enough to bounce back up. will jaybo be the backup again this season, or will one of the new guys rise up? i guess we'll have to wait and see.
June 19th, 2009
11:17 am
Dawg, can't speak on their behalf but if people would stop having the urge to talk sh*t about the other team no matter whose blog it is and have some kind of meaningful posts then all this would stop. I just get tired of SOME of the dog fans thinking just because a gt fan does it on a ga blog the that means they have to come over and do it on a gt blog and so on and so forth. Very childish. It just gets tiresome.
And thanks for the meaningful post.
June 19th, 2009
11:17 am
Reading the opponent's blog is one thing, posting trash is another. And, yes, GT has some fans that are childish and immature (just like every school). I usually skip comments by the ones you mentioned when they show up on THIS blog, I can't imagine the trash they might post on the UGA blogs.
What's especially annoying is that the small minded UGA fans like to fill the GT blogs with trash. You can't have a decent exchange of ideas without having to wade through the muck the dawg fans post.
But, we all learned in Kindergarten that 'two wrongs don't make a right'. Some people need to GROW UP and GET A LIFE.

Lemme try and explain this once again so even your dumb ass can understand it. Tech got rings to commemorate the Chic Fil A bowl. The players were given the opportunity to inscribe what they wanted on the inside of the ring. They chose to put the score of their rivalry game. The ring was not for the game in november. It was for the bowl in january…does that make sense or are you still confused??? Remember how UGA retired a players jersey for "ending the drought against tech"? Quit whinning. Also, Georgia fans – Saint Simon's is a Dawg fan posing as a Tech fan. If you haven't figured that out yet you're a lot dumber than I thought.
hey jaded (we know your a scared dawg hiding behind a fake name) – does that mean roddy won't be able to put up 200 + yards on your team this year? or are you just hoping he broke his wrist so that won't happen again?
June 19th, 2009
11:25 am
I think the majority of Tech Fans are finally glad to see good leaders on the team.
June 19th, 2009
11:25 am
Lord Almighty! I love college football! I grew up a Tech fan, saw the light, graduated from UGA in 1975 and have been a bug basher ever since! As much as I hate to admit it, last year's game was the best thing to happen to the rivalry since Wally Butts and Bobby Dodd glared at each other across the Grant Field turf. As much as we hate the Gators, Vols, Plainsmen (My son's a sophomore at Auburn – I had a lovely Christmas break!), etc. we'd begun to take an annual victory over the Jackets for granted. I love stopping by The Varsity, pigging out, insulting a few Tech folks, then crossing the downtown connector to watch the Dawgs wreck some Tech *@#! Good luck to the Jackets as they try to win the AAA leagure they play in – the SEC (not the lowly MSU and Vandy version) looms in November! Go Dawgs!
June 19th, 2009

SEC vs ACC was tied last year during the regular season.
Quit acting like the SEC and UGA are god. Calm down.
June 19th, 2009

My bad about the comments earlier. I pretty much think everyone on here is a Dawg at this point. You were right. Roddy Jones did break his wrist. You wouldn't know it from the terrible AJC coverage.
My bad man…

Hey Phil, I'm in total agreement with you about the blogs. I wish the college blogs were more like the Falcons blog where you can have meaningful discussions about your team instead of the childish crap that people like Ramble On, Saint Simons, yellow fuzz, etc. post on other peoples blogs. And, of course, there are UGA, Fla, Al, etc. fans that are just as bad. Come on people, while some is cute, most is downright childish. Personally, I think Paul Johnson is a heck of a coach, and I think GT's program is better off now with him at the helm. But, it bothers me when people post trash that goes way beyond friendly banter, actually more like pure hatred.

I'm sure I'm one of the many Georgia Tech students (and fans) that think that the Tech Bowl (VT @ GT) is more important than the UGA game. Sorry, but not everything is about the Dawgs.

What seems to continuously and persistently pass over you lefties heads is that Jesus is speaking to "individuals", not Cesar's government.
What you are trying to argue is that Jesus would have said: "If anyone wants to sue you and take away your tunic, give your tunic and your cloak to Cesar and let him tear it up into shares to give to who he thinks is deserving.
Jesus had no hatred of the so-called "rich". Soloman was probably one of the most prosperous men in the Bible, ...yet he had God's favor.
Jesus was against not "wealth", but the love of wealth. There is a huge difference.
I'm chomping on the chocolate bunny (ears first!) that I found in my basket and it occurs to me that believing in Christ's resurrection requires a capitalist mindset. Certainly, you could be a capitalist without believing in Christ's resurrection since it requires faith to believe in the resurrection. And, Christ's primary mission on earth was not to overthrow human forms of government. However, Christ recognized as "good" a legitimate form of human government that espouses freedom, private property rights and representative authority.

Stock buybacks: Another kind of dividend
Companies are using both cash and borrowed money to repurchase their shares. Shareholders like it and more repurchases are on the way.
By Marc Courtenay
Did you notice what happened to Smith & Wesson's (SWHC) share price when the company's board authorized the purchase of an additional $15 million of Smith & Wesson common stock, to be purchased between now and June 30, 2013?
That's not a huge stock buyback, but it helped the company's shares, which I wrote about on TheStreet on Dec. 21, to surge over 3% on Thursday Dec. 27. The stock traded as low as $7.95 on the 21st and closed at $8.26 on the 27th. At $8-a-share, a $15 million buyback reduces the outstanding float by 1,875,000 shares.
The additional amount was authorized after the company completed the $20 million stock repurchase program that was announced back on Dec. 6. SWHC plans to fund the repurchases using cash on hand and working capital. The point is that stock buybacks usually create an immediate benefit.
Even giant companies like Dow 30 component United Technologies (UTX) will be getting down to the business of buying back up to 1.33% of the company's outstanding shares.
This and some other savory news announcements (see the Web site) about selling off a few holdings of the behemoth conglomerate have helped boost the share's price. Potential traders and investors should read them carefully.
From an intraday low Nov. 14 of $74.44, shares of UTX have been lifted over 12% to the Dec. 20 high of $83.64. UTX shares closed at $82.07 on Dec. 27, even though many analysts look upon UTX as one of the three most promising stocks for 2013 of the 30 that comprise the DJIA.
UTX shares are currently paying a 2.61% dividend based on a yield-to-price at $82. The following 5-year chart colorfully illustrates the history of UTX's share price as well as its quarterly diluted year-over-year earnings per share and revenue growth. What jumps out at me when I look at this chart is that both EPS and quarterly revenue growth are heading in the right direction.
UTX will next step into the earnings confessional on Jan. 21, 2013. In the meantime it's not hard to understand why Jim Cramer and our Research Director Stephanie Link recently wrote to subscribers of ActionAlertsPlus, "UTX is a way to play the global aerospace cycle with the synergy kicker from the Goodrich acquisition, which will add as much as 70 cents to 2013 earnings."
"The valuation [of the share's price] trades at a discount to its historical average and we expect the company to resume its buybacks/dividends [italics added] given the strong cash flow position of $5 billion/year," they concluded. Like Cramer and Link, I would anticipate a dividend increase to be announced as soon as the January earnings conference.
Stock buybacks are what shareholders want company leaders to pursue. As was recently noted in an article at The Wall Street Journal, "Investing in the existing business comes first," said Mike Jackson the CEO of AutoNation (AN).
CEO Jackson went on to say, "But you can create a lot of value when you buy stock when there are dislocations in the market." During the past 12 months AutoNation has used almost $750 million to buy back shares of its stock. That, according to the Journal article, reduced the company's outstanding shares by 15%.
As the chart below clearly demonstrates, this has boosted the share price and helped its year-over-year quarterly EPS growth.
According to the company's intuitive Web site AN is the largest automotive retailer in the U.S. Recently the CEO announced that AN will release its financial results for the fourth quarter and year ended Dec. 31 on Thursday, January 31, 2013.
With the dramatic correction in the share price of AN from its $48.56 high on Oct. 19 to currently below $40, it wouldn't surprise analysts if CEO Jackson and the board continue the tradition of buying back the company's shares.
Other publicly traded standouts of the Dow Jones Industrial Average ($INDU) like Intel (INTC) are likely to announce stock buybacks. INTC, which is currently sitting on total cash of $10.5 billion, might be one of them when it releases its earnings report on Jan. 17. This as well as its shift toward mobile devices may boost its share price.
Expect to see publicly traded companies buying back their shares directly in the months ahead. If you happen to own shares before the announcements you're likely to receive something akin to a tax-free dividend in the form of a sudden surge in the stock's price.
Anticipate thoughtfully, do your due diligence and keep your fingers crossed.
At the time of publication the author was long INTC.
More from TheStreet.com
When the companies need more cash, they no doubt issue more shares on the market, so, what's the point on buybacks?. Give me the dividends and let the stock ride with the market. I'd rather see a company use excess cash to pay off debt. If no debt, then award it's investors with dividends. STOCK BUYBACKS are a SCAM!

|Speaker Boehner just doesn't learn
|Written by Bob Lehrter
|Tuesday, February 05, 2013 7:48 PM
Instead of being the champion of conservative values House Majority Leader John Boehner professes to be, he has become the Charlie Brown of American politics, as he repeatedly plays the fool to Obama's Lucy.
Over and over, we've seen the pathetic cycle play out in the news. The Senate (Harry Reid) refuses to perform its legal duty of proposing a national budget.
Instead, Obama whines about not having enough money to keep the government operating, blames Boehner and his neutered followers, and demands the debt ceiling to be raised yet again, even though the debt is already so high it's beyond ridiculous.
Alarming stories about government shut-downs and national default dominate the news, thanks in large part to Obama's obedient servants in the mainstream media.
So, instead of holding the Senate's feet to the fire and demanding they actually do their constitutionally mandated job, our speaker of the house and our president conduct a dramatic summit behind closed doors. Picture Lucy telling Charlie Brown she'll hold the football for him to kick, nice and steady this time.
Then Boehner emerges from the meeting, gets in front of the cameras, and tells us how he really got tough with the president this time. Picture Charlie Brown telling himself that this time, he's really gonna kick that football!
But as he always does, Boehner caves in and gives Obama pretty much everything he asked for, more taxes and more spending, in exchange for empty promises about tackling that pesky deficit.
Then, inevitably, as the next crisis date approaches, we all realize the deficit has not in fact been addressed, but our national debt has instead increased substantially. Lucy has pulled the football away yet again.
And poor, pathetic Boehner, still lying flat on his back at the place where he crashed to the ground from having missed the football with his mighty kick, is already anxious for his chance to do it all again.
He just doesn't learn.The only difference between Mr. Speaker and Mr. Brown is that Boehner cries in public a lot more often.

Las Cruces, NM (KDBC) — A current drought is forcing more wildlife to make its way into town in search of food and water.
The New Mexico Game and Fish Department, along with firefighters from Las Cruces rescued a great horned owl from the Cattleman's Steak House sign on Tuesday.
The owl was uninjured but did require medical attention.
Because of the warmer temperatures and lack of food, the LCPD said it's possible more wildlife will be visible within the city limits. The Game and Fish Department said it's usually best to leave the animals alone to prevent injury.
Some Las Crucens agree.
"We try to help but most of the time we just don't know how to help i think that if you see a bird and don't know what to do call someone," Linda Trujillo said.
The Chihuahuan Desert Wildlife Rescue said some animals will continue to feed their young even if they have fallen out of the nest. They said sometimes the mothers of mammals will hide and can be very protective of their babies.
They advise anybody who encounters wildlife to call them and ask how to proceed, or call animal control.

|Joseph Marzullo/WENN
St. Paddy's Day went into extra innings March 18, with a Dublin pub on stage at the Jacobs dispensing brew before, and midway through, the opening of Once.
Early arrivals—and those who'd seen the show Off-Broadway at the New York Theatre Workshop—bellied up to the bar, which was free and free-flowing, while other first-nighters and assorted celebs clustered unawares in front of the theatre.
Glen Hansard and Marketa Irglova, who starred in—and song-scored--the 2006 cult indie smash on which the show is based, made their way through the paparazzi pandemonium into the theatre, both trying their best (and unsuccessfully) to not look like Cinderella at the ball. Theirs was a miracle movie, made in 17 days for $200,000 and grossing almost into the rarified eight-digit area.
Not the least of its selling points was their urgently soaring song, "Falling Slowly," which wound up winning 16 international awards out of 20 nominations, including the Oscar for Best Song of the Year. It was a true collaboration. He started off with a melody, and she suggested the three-note increment that stretched the heart of the song. She also stepped aside and let him take the main melodic line because she thought it wore better on his voice, joining in with some perfectly pitched backup.
There are 15 more numbers where this came from, and the show ticks them off, bookended by "Falling Slowly," exquisitely delivered both times by the stage facsimiles for Hansard and Irglova, Steve Kazee and Cristin Milioti.
Both are actors first, working in a musical-theatre situation and executing a gentle, Everydude sort of a story. Guy, a guitar-strumming street busker on a break from his da's vacuum-cleaner repair shop, meets Girl, a piano-playing Czech single-mom with a broken vacuum cleaner. They handily strike a deal—her music for his repairs—and a collaboration, personal as well as professional, is born. The bittersweet hitch is that they communicate feelings in song without committing to them in real life.[flipbook]
Originally, the screenplay by the director, John Carney, was mostly his own story but, in the playing and living of it, became something of a reality for the two actors. Although Hansard and Irglova ran the press gauntlet together, his girlfriend and her husband were waiting in the wings. Their coming-together and coming-apart got candidly chronicled in a post-script documentary to "Once" called "The Swell Season," covering their chaotic U.S. tour after they scored the Oscar.
The big scene-stealer in "The Swell Season" is not a musician but Hansard's mom, who is constantly busting her buttons over her son's Oscar. And, yes, as a matter of fact, she was a beaming presence at his Broadway debut—in spades.
Irglova had some kin in attendance as well. "I am really thrilled to be here and to have brought my family over here to see it," she admitted happily, "and I'm very proud of those guys who've done the play. It's their accomplishment, actually."
Hansard did a little dirt-kicking, also. "It feels amazin'! It's such a bizarre, beautiful, kinda odd honor to be here. The whole thing is about done now, so we're just here to show our support in the audience with our fists in the air. Really, it's theirs now."
The idea of turning this quiet little charmer of a film into a Broadway musical belongs to John N. Hart Jr., who produced it (in association with New York Theatre Workshop) and with the Frederick Zollos (Barbara Broccoli), The Shubert Organization, Patrick Milling Smith, Brian Carmody, Michael G. Wilson, Orin Wolf and Robert Cole—major stretcher-bearers for such a fragile piece.
"When I saw it in a movie theatre and was moved by it, I thought, 'Music is part of a three-dimensional medium, and film is two-dimensional. If anything belonged in a theatre, it was this.' Getting it right was the challenge, and John Tiffany got it right."

Albany and Dougherty leaders still haven't reached an agreement on how to split the Local Option Sales Tax revenue, despite Monday's second meeting with mediator.
Time is ticking for Albany City and Dougherty County commissioners. Leaders are still negotiating how to split millions of dollars from the Local Option Sales Tax revenue, also called LOST.
A formula was agreed upon when it began more than 20 years ago the city gets 60% and the county 40%.
But every ten years they must approve a new deal.
"And so it's important because a lot of things happen over that period of time. And so you need to make sure that you have the resources to make sure that your government is running adequately. So it's very important and this is why we're spending so much energy having discussions about this to see what is equitable and how to move forward," said Christopher Pike, an Albany City Commissioner.
And both sides want bigger portions.
"We just have to go through the process. We each have consultants that show that each of us should receive more. So we're in the middle of the mediation phase right now," Lamar Hudgins, a Dougherty County Commissioner.
Each year the county has been receiving about $7 million from LOST that they use to keep property taxes down.
"Straight to rollback mileage rate, property taxes. That's all. It's not splost. It's local option sales tax used to reduce the mileage rate for property owners," Hudgins.
And the city has been receiving about $10 million.
"We use that money to do very general, basic things like pay police officers, day to day operations of county and city government," said Pike.
The local governments are currently in the mediation stage and have until the end of the month to come to an agreement.
"The taxpayers of Dougherty County are the ones who have benefit or lose from this negotiation. So it's very important," said Hudgins.
Leaders on both sides aren't saying how much more they want until a decision has been made.
If an agreement is not reached by the end of this month, it will go to arbitration. And the final decision could be up to a superior court judge.
Commissioners say they're confident they can reach an agreement on their own.

ST. CROIX COUNTY, WI (WTAQ) - Aaron Schaffhausen spent the night at a hotel in downtown St. Paul, just hours before he drove to River Falls and killed his three young daughters.
At his sanity trial Wednesday, Holiday Inn employees testified that Schaffhausen was reading on the patio of a pub while drinking a Bloody Mary. The bar workers said Schaffhausen was polite, but his hands were shaking – and he appeared jittery.
Prosecutors brought in the employees to help try and prove that the 35-year-old Schaffhausen knew what he was doing when he stabbed and slashed his daughters last July. That was almost a year after he and his ex-wife first broke up.
Schaffhausen has admitted to the slayings – but if his jury finds that he was not insane, he'll spend the rest of his life in prison. If he is found insane, Schaffhausen would be sent to a mental institution.
The defense was the first to present its case, and it rested Wednesday after Schaffhausen decided not to testify.

Smart Car Vending Machine
Posted by Sheila Franklin Categories: Misc. Tech, Transportation
In a kind of belated April Fool's joke, a vending machine was constructed in Japan that holds a full-size Smart Car. Located in the Smart Vendor in Shibuya station, you get to choose between a Coupe and Cabrio and deposit your $20,000.00 in the slot. While we realize this probably an incredible effective marketing ploy, we were thinking that we might go for the real thing since it wouldn't involve smarmy automobile salespeople looking for commission.

Haha that's cute and in a way great advertising. Props to their PR team.. I have one question though.. Does it take quarters?
I thought it was cute to. That defianately would catch someone's eye. It is a great way to advertise I agree.
To be honest, I don't even have a clue what to comment on. I'm just absolutely shocked and stunned by this vending machine. Okaaay, first we have medical marijuana vending machines in Los Angeles (yes, it's true. LOL, Google it!), now we have a Smart Car vending machine in Japan. What's next, military artillery vending machines on the border of Texas?
I would really like to be there when someone used that vending machine. Who ever thought up this ad campaign is brilliant. It gets information about the Smart Car out there. People can see it up close but they can not touch it, unless they buy it. Very cool.
