What are the chances we retain these three individuals for next season?

The food tastes the same.

Griff's in Bossier is still around. They had a fire last year and rebuilt.

Thanks Russdawg. Probably can't make up this winter. Hope to see you for Rice next year. Game too early (11 AM) this year for me to make, but haven't completely ruled it out yet.

Still one on Linwood in Shreveport (near LSU Med School/University Health)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Jump to: navigation, search
http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedi.../2a/Griffy.png"Griffy" exhorted patrons to stock up on fifteen-cent hamburgers.


Griff’s Hamburgers, or Griff's Burger Bar, is a regional fast food chain founded in 1960 by Griff's of America, Inc. of Kansas City, Missouri, United States. At one time they had locations nationwide with the majority in the South near highway exits.^[1]
Griff's was named for the founder, Harold Griffin.^[2]
The restaurant buildings were of a patented^[3] A-frame design,^[1] produced by Valentine Diners^[4] of Wichita, Kansas. Later restaurants sported more conventional architecture. A bright yellow sign read HAMBURGERS in big block capitals.^[5] The restaurants offered both drive-thrus and patio dining.^[5]
Most of the stores were located in high traffic locations, such as near a highway off-ramp, or along Route 66.^[5] There was one on the corner of Caruthers and Independence in Cape Girardeau, Missouri in the 1960s, catty corner from old Central High School.
Corporate headquarters for Griff's of America is now in Dallas, Texas. The first store opened in Texas was in Fort Worth, TX on East Lancaster Avenue and stores remain open in Arvada and Denver, Colorado; Bossier City, Ruston and Shreveport, Louisiana; Albuquerque, New Mexico; and Dallas, Fort Worth, Haltom City, Garland, Irving, Mesquite, and San Antonio, Texas.^[1] A location in Sedalia, Missouri closed in late 2011.^[2]
The restaurant chain was featured in multiple installments of the Zippy the Pinhead comic strip; on November 15, 2004,^[6] February 10, 2005^[7] December 19, 2006,^[8] and September 2, 2007.^[9]

damn you, hijackers! :bigcry:

It was the fifteen cent hamburgers I remember. Something a broke college kid could afford in 1966 as a break from Tolliver.

. Thread was getting repetitive anyway-- one of my Griffs stories is night Willis Reed came in, few weeks after playing NBA finals on basically one leg. Also, there was older man who was official Tech baseball statistician-- he came in after every game, got a Giant burger-- bread only-- threw bread away and gave his old dog the meat. Vince T was manager -- he later opened Stowes and goes to most football games

I hope we can keep Holtz and Diaz. I think Dixon will stay 1 more year and set every RB record in Tech history. As long as Coach getting 500k from buyout , he won't have to hurry for bigger salary-- hold out for right job-- he doing solid job recruiting for future and has contacts for assistant coaches

He won't ever have to have a bigger salary...unless he wants to leave.

Lets just enjoy the wins most of us weren't expecting and not worry about losing a coach until he actually earns his bonus money. No need to pay it out before he earns it like with did with Dykes.

When asked the fire inspector said "it was a Griff's fire." The reporter tried to correct him, "Don't you mean a "grease" fire?" The inspector replied, "That's what I said."


Thankyaverymuch. I'm gonna be here all week.

. You don't want to know what happens to food when rude people order-- certain folks had attitudes and extra pepper or salt were the nicer things-- liked the joke

Almost got into a fight at a burger joint in Baytown Texas in 1976. They were taking orders at the counter, accepting the money, and then calling numbers as the food got ready. Two guys refused to move after they paid. One loud one said "I gave you money and I am not moving until you give me food. That's what we call having good Yankee business sense up north." He was giving the little girl behind the counter grief and I said, "down here it is called being a jerk". The guy bowed up and flashed but a huge pipe fitter stepped between us and said,"A damn Yankee a**hole jerk". The guy stepped aside and asked for his order to go. I don't think it would have taken much for the pipe fitter to wipe the floor with him. The good Lord takes care of fools like me.
