This post is proof of the fact—long widely suspected—that you can dare me into making recipes and I’ll do it.

Man, this looks delicious. I should make a Quick lane Bowl version with Faygo Rock and Rye.

This recipe is why people like you - mine would have been "assemble ingredients to make eastern North Carolina pulled pork and South Carolina pulled pork, throw all the mustard sauce fixings in a trash can, and only make the eastern North Carolina pulled pork.

Wondering if one could use cherry juice to avoid all the sugar in the cheerwine? Yes, I know sugar has a reason for being in marinades, but I'm needing to head towards very low carb diet.

I imagine that would work, but maybe dilute it with oil? I suspect that cherry juice on its own would be quite strong.

Now I'm wondering what the best dilution liquid would be.

Thought for sure that you were going to do a Carolina-style BBQ-pulled chicken sandwich. That's clearly why you're the one doing the recipes and I am but a humble reader. Love where you went with this.

If you're a Duke grad, "Carolina" is the one eight miles down US 15-501 that serves as a hellmouth, and that one in Columbia has been more or less out of sight, out of mind since that time Bobby Cremins got so distraught about losing the ACC tournament final that he disappeared for three days. Whatever happened to that place after they left God's own basketball conference, Scott?

Las Vegas bowl isn't so much a meal, more like getting smashed on brandy and waking up with herpes

My USC alumna wife introduced my family to Cheerwine in the gift bags for our wedding. They raved about the flavor and caffeine level, and quickly recognized it for what it is: an incredibly dangerous drink.

Excited to try this recipe, Go Cocks!

As a Clemson grad I can absolutely say they have no business being anywhere near the playoffs this year, in fact their entire conference should be so embarrassed they shouldn't let *any* ACC team in.

/touches earpiece

ah, the one thing the playoff committee got right

(also a little disappointed there's not a side of fried Clemson Okra, a tremendous botanical accomplishment)
