CITYWIDE—It's Texas/OU weekend, as made glaringly obvious by the number of orange shirts walking the streets today. Whatever side of the rivalry you're on, there's a listicle for you: CultureMap has a list of the best sports bars in town, SideDish has compiled the best watch parties, and City of Ate has suggestions for avoiding Uptown douchiness.

VICTORY PARK—Cook Hall, the gastropub going into the old Craft space at the W, has just announced it will open October 30. Leslie Brenner has a first look at the tentative menu. [Eats Blog]

FARMERS MARKET—Speaking of Texas/OU weekend, Pecan Lodge is here to help feed crowds of hungry football fans. They'll open early tomorrow and folks who order five pounds or more of smoked meat goodness can skip the line. [Twitter]
