J.R.'s Family Bar-B-Q

It's a perfect, football Saturday here in Norman with clear, blue skies and temps in the mid 60's as I write this and prepare to attend tonight's OU vs. K-State Big 12 Conference tilt which airs at 6 central on Fox Sports Southwest. I will join "my team" on the Sooner sideline for the game so look for the black hat. :)

Another HUGE game in Oklahoma tonight is on ABC with Okie State hosting Texas in Stillwater where they have finally sold every seat available in the newly renovated T. Boone Pickens Stadium in arguably the biggest game, perhaps ever, at the Brisco Brothers alma mater. Dusty Rhodes, noted Longhorn fan, and Gerry Brisco have a friendly wager on this game with "The Dream" laying 20 points and taking his 'Horns. The official spread is 9...not that I would be keeping track of such info.   

Sunday will be another "football day" full of key NFL action especially the Vikings vs. the Packers from Lambeau Field as Bret Favre returns with more angst in Green Bay than Larry David would have attending a Catholic Church service based on a recent "Curb Your Enthusiasm" episode.

Our on line business has been brisk and my sister in law, who handles our shipping, has remained diligent in getting your orders out via Federal Express within hours of receiving them. We sure appreciate your business. We'll gladly take your order this weekend and ship it Monday.

Don 't forget that our products will make great holiday gifts and for those that read this blog in the OKC/Norman area or any where within driving distance of our place that we are slow, hickory smoking, 14 pound Thanksgiving turkeys this year but you have to sign up for them by dropping by JR's in Norman or calling 405-360-4227 (4BBQ). 

Here's some BBQ'ed random thoughts...  more »

Let's hope that everyone is having a good day. Thanks for stopping by our site and for telling friends about us. We also want to thank you for your continued business in our on line store that is still offering FREE SHIPPING on many great packages including our custom made, 97% FAT FREE,  J.R.'s Original Beef Jerky. We are also still doing solid biz with our two BBQ Sauces and the Chipolte Ketchup which is really becoming popular. This Friday we have our meeting with the good folks at Homeland Groceries based in OKC and we hope to get some positive news on that front of getting our products in 4 stores in Norman, Oklahoma to test market. 

I'm trying to stay as busy as I can to keep my mind off of other challenges which seem to be prevalent.     more »

Hope everyone's having a great Saturday. As I write this on my trusty Blackberry, I am on an Oklahoma team bus in route from KC to Lawrence and will be on the Sooner sideline later today for an important Big 12 Conference football game. Yep, my neurologist cleared my travel because the flight was only 40 minutes and I'm drive home after the game w/ friends. Here's the latest. I had a MRI Friday on my brain and inner ear and will get the result, hopefully, Monday afternoon. Hopefully, that will be good news. more »

Firstly, I am absolutely overwhelmed by the amount of feedback we have received here on our site regarding my third "Street Fight" with Bells palsy. Your out pouring of support has been amazing and is the best medicine a guy could have. I have had an emotional time reading thru many of the emails that we have received but the tears I have shed have been tears of happiness. Here's the latest....   more »

This is an update on my previous blog. Not the news I wanted to share. more »

It was an interesting plane ride from OKC to Columbia, South Carolina Monday night. On my flight from OKC to Atlanta I had my 3rd Bells palsy attack. more »

Hope every one is having a good weekend thus far. I'm about ready to head to the airport for the start of a challenging, road trip to the east coast for WWE "bidness." I don't look forward to the travel but I look forward to the work. Make sense?

We met with the USPS yesterday regarding shipping issues and may have discovered some answers. A follow up with another person who specializes in accounts such as J.R.'s Family BBQ is slated to meet with us again to provide more feedback. We're trying to make things better in every phase of our business and I can assure you that we are not in the shipping business IE trying to make shipping a profit center. On to the next piece of business.....  more »

Jerry Brisco is not a happy camper today. He was mentally ready to undergo surgery on Thursday to repair a heart defect but the surgery has been postponed for the second time. more »

After returning from the Roanoke, Virginia Smackdown taping via Chicago on Wednesday, I finally made it to our backyard to catch up on a little reading when my cell phone rang. I was very surprised to hear who was calling. It was my dear friend Jerry Brisco. more »

It often times amazes me when seemingly intelligent people believe most every thing that they read on selected, wrestling websites. News Flash.....some wrestling websites are loaded with manure. Here's why.... more »
