I agree with this, yet would also watch a Strapped from all over the globe. Imagine the French Gran Randy and Neil (l’enfant) stressing over l’mega bonus in Languedoc, but having to settle for another jambon beurre dinner when the money round goes sideways.

The Refuge will spend a few hundred posts complaining about the raised Strapped budget and then put the Northeast (where they got at least $300 in free shit) in the top half of their rankings.

Well the Northeast has Janice, and a gas leak.

Hey, they got sanctioned for that, and St. Rappeo provided when they were in need with free lodging and free golf balls.

Realllllllly, really interesting that we’re circling back to some really fun moments that only happened because the Strapped Bros were trying to skirt the budget or find loopholes only to get sanctioned by the C-Suite and how memorable that all is. Makes you think huh?

Am I the only one with Reno higher in their Strapped rankings? Lots of great moments - Neil’s Swingers references, losing $100 at the casino first night, two days with Mike Mason (a terrific Strapped sherpa), Randy and Neil on the mini-bikes. It’s not Louisiana or Baltimore or whatever but it’s a very good season

It’s in my top two or three. The crossover between motorcycles (kinda) and golf is such a dopamine hit for me. It’s probably the one I go back to the most.

Tier 1- I think any of these have a case for the best Strapped season. Overall really strong from golf to theme to people.
- Louisiana
- Peoria
- Reno
- So Cal
- Iowa
- Baltimore
Tier 2- Solid seasons but either the theme carries the season (Friday Night Lights, Big Meech) or you have a classic event occur that becomes a legend (Myrtle Beach blowout) and might carry it through some sub-par golf courses.
7. Northeast
8. West Texas
9. New Mexico
10. South Carolina
Tier 3- In fairness to Tallahassee, I think the weather completely ruined the season. Spring Training is such a forgettable season. Baseball can be a pretty boring medium, and centering a season around the most boring part of the baseball season and generic sub-division golf kind of hurt.
- Tallahassee
- Spring Training
