  1. Tinsley's in Bryan was located at the corner of Texas Avenue and Martin Luther King Street. The building is now a Mexican cafe. This location is across the street from the former Gath's Electrical Supply, which was formerly Gath's Fried Chicken, which before that was the original Bryan Popeye's Chicken.

    Tinsley's in Bryan closed in the summer of 1996.

    There was a Tinsleys on Hiway 6 in College Station, on the left when you were headed South right after you crossed Hiway 30 - I guess that was the Pooh's park location, there was also one in Hempstead, on the South side of town, also on the left when you were heading South. Like the other poster I wondered if they were related to Youngblood's. I used to love their gizzards and gravy dinner - just like mom used to make.

  2. Gotta get tackled eventually, don't you? QB is finesse. Even a guy Culpepper's size has to throw the ball. Once he runs, he's free meat. A jammed finger, dislocated shoulder, any number of injuries can affect his throwing motion. Running backs play hurt all the time, as long as they can still hold onto the ball. Not so, with a QB.

    I agree with Gary on Young. Very few teams make a go of it with a running QB, including the Titans. If Young doesn't learn to read routes and throw from the pocket, he won't make it.

    Agreed Red - I would use Young as a receiver - he has the wheels and the moves. He could also be used for the end around/pass the way the Steelers use one of their receivers. The problem with him as a running QB is that every linebacker in the NFL is as fast as the fastest linebacker he faced in college, and many of the d-linemen are very fast, and both are too strong for Young to run through like he did the college boys. If he catches the ball on the edge - he has two maybe three guys to beat and even this Aggie likes those odds. When it comes to running QB's NFL stands for NOT FOR LONG.

    Moving on to the Texans - I think they will win at least 9 games this year. As for the draft pick and taking Mario Williams instead of Reggie Bush. . . . how many games were close in the 4th quarter last year that turned into losses because the defense could not get a stop? Defenses win championships - and I think that Kubiak will have the Texans in the Super Bowl within six years.
