Buy a prime brisket from Costco and look online on how to trim it, I separate the point from the flat so it fits in my smoker. Make of buy your own run, kosher salt, tellicherry black pepper and paprika, 2 table spoons each. 1/2 tsp garlic powder, onion powder and cayenne red pepper. The night before apply olive oil and rub, cover with foil overnight. Get your ass up at 4am and take the meat out of the fridge and let it set for 1 hour. Preheat the smoker. I have a Maverick thermometer that let's me know them temp of the meat and the temp inside the smoker.
Set the smoker to anywhere between 230 and 250.
Throw the meat in and I only use wood for the first hour or two. Depending on how big the brisket is it will take 10 or 12 hours. When the temp of the meat hits 185 I take the meat out and wrap the meat in parchment paper and put it back in to finish, remove the brisket when the meat temp reaches 202 degrees. With the brisket still wrapped in the paper, wrap with 3 layers of foil and let stand for an hour or so. Get a good slicer knife and cut direct cross grain about 3/8 of an inch thick slices.
Before you apply the rub cut a corner off of the flat so you know where to start cutting after the meat is done. If cooked correctly you can feel when the meat is done, it almost feels you are holding a squishy piece of hot fat.
That's it. Be patient when the meat gets to 165 or 170 is stops heating up or stalls for a while, just let it go.

Can I just come over?
 
I feel kinda weird interrupting the love fest...but looking at this weekend I think UCLA may be challenged from Arizona. They came up very strong v Cal and Stanford. Can the offense for UCLA breakdown the AZ d that has shown well, at the same time of neutralizing a potent AZ offense? UCLA D better beware. Good stuff this week

I think that you are focusing on the wrong team from LA. Arizona is an impressive 1-22 against the Bruins. I'm pretty sure that they can handle a little organized chaos. Nice try at creating drama but the only chance the Wildcats have to duplicate their losing result against Stanford is to bunker. If the Bruins come out in their bunker busting formation (which they will) that will only work for maybe 20 minutes.

Arizona was lucky to only give up one goal to Stanford and believe it or not UCLA is better than Stanford. I'm going to bet that they are more concerned with getting a result against the Trojans than trying to stop Seal Team Six.

Let's revisit this on Monday.
 
So I finished watching the UCLA vs. Oregon St. game last night. Wasn't even close. Because my U13 daughter is a keeper, I enjoy watching every teams keepers. Was not impressed with Oregon St keeper. She seemed to have trouble bending her knees, slow to dive, and didn't come off her line. Contrast that to the UCLA keeper that is always very active. Talking about keepers, I watched the Chicago Red Stars vs Portland Thorns game this past weekend. Chicago's keeper didn't even look like she belonged on a college team, let alone a professional team. Very surprised they don't have a better player as a backup.

It is funny because I've been able to get my daughter to watch some of these keepers and it is actually giving her confidence watching some of them and their limitations. Even my wife commented that she sees so many amazing players on the pitch, but not as many keepers. I know as a parent we see our kids with rose colored glasses, but if she can grow a bit and continue to improve, she might be able to play at the next level some day.

Am I the only one that prefers the women's game over the men's game?

Good female keepers are hard to find, just watch keeper training and you will know why. It's brutal.
At the younger age groups coaches seem to put the least athletic kids in goal and by the time you know it many of those girls get stuck in goal and the better athletes end up in another position and it's a little late to switch them.

I watched the AZ/Stanford game as well. To hold one of the highest goal scoring teams in the country (4.36/Game) to a single goal and have quality opportunities as well make them a stern opponent. I think AZ has a legit shot at taking down both of the Socal teams
