    Clemson says 'Peace Out!' to the ACC

    Fair point, but that was also a different era before cord cutting and streaming. Neither MD or Rutgers would draw much interest if the decision were made today, certainly not at a full share IMO. And I'm not sure that UVA or UNC move the needle in terms of additive revenue that would offset a...

    The Irishman (SPOILERS)

    Agree. Nicholson was much better than Pacino as Hoffa. Pacino basically plays a version of Pacino in every role since Scent of a Woman. Hooh-Ah! Never thought about DeCaprio for the Hoffa role, but he would be great. DeNiro and Pesci were both good, but I think Pesci was better. The aging...

    School House - Wilton - best restaurant in the state Luc's - Ridgefield - great French bistro and bonus Keith Richards' sightings at the bar Ono - Wesport - Tiny space with great sushi and Japanese Spiga - New Canaan - family friendly Italian spot with something for everyone Cherry Street East -...

    OT: Best Pizza in CT

    Parlor in Wilton is worth checking out. Neapolitan style like Zeneli's on Wooster St. Danbury Pepe's is better than Fairfield on all fronts. The separate take out door is also a plus. There's also a Sally's going into the new Norwalk mall FWIW. Colony/Riko's. Not sure I'm able to tell the...

    2019 CT High School Preseason/Season Rankings

    I would flip St. Joe and Hand and replace Shelton with Cheshire.

    OT: Best Pizza in CT

    Which one are you going to? The one on Naugatuck Ave. in Devon is better than the one on Bridgeport Ave. IMO.

    OT: Best Pizza in CT

    Grew up eating it. Too much cheese for my liking. For Westville apizza, I like Dayton Street better.

    Game of Thrones Season 8

    I'm interested to see how they get Dany's army down to Kings Landing. The forces loyal to her are pretty much gone, save for a few unsullied. The remaining Northerners have no loyalty to her and can't be too excited to march 1000 miles south in the wake of this battle. Plus, Cersei is no...

    OT: UConn Law School

    Some good advice here. Did you apply to the evening division? If not, see if you can. Its easier to get into and after 1L people move back and forth between the day and evening divisions. I'll echo the sentiment that you really need to ask yourself if you want to be a lawyer and understand...

    OT - Frontier drops SNY

    I had hated optimum when I had it way back when, but was pleasantly surprised when I switched back to it two years ago from Frontier. The internet speeds alone were worth it - much faster than anything available from Frontier. The cable box/guide is still clunky, worse than Frontier, but the...

    OT - stupid soccer haha

    Soccer in this country does not attract the best athletes. Until it does, the US will not be a factor in international play.

    Budget Passed by State Legislature Potentially Devastating to UConn

    If UConn is going to make the transition to the next level, it needs to be less reliant of state funding. The state's finances are going to get worse before they get better. This should be the wake up call for growing the endowment substantially. Alumni need to step up. If you haven't given...

    OT: Best Pizza in CT

    This. Pepe's New Haven is still the benchmark for me. The fact that the Fairfield branch is below par has no effect on the pies in New Haven.

    OT: Video Streaming & slingbox

    I have the slingbox app on my phone and Ipad and have no ads. But I bought the app a couple of years ago before they offered the free version. I do get ads when streaming on my computer through a browser. I have the 500, but probably would be just as happy with the M2. There is really no...

    OT: Local Dialects.

    How about a wedge for lunch?:) The pronunciation of New Haven and East Haven will seperate out the natives from the transplants. Non-CT natives also don't know how to pronounce Wolcott and Berlin correctly.

    Dead and Company

    Agree on Mayer. He's hitting his stride. Saw the Sat show at Fenway and he owned Deal and Sugaree. The rest of the show was alright, although the setlist had some clunkers (Days Between should be retired). Heard the Friday show was killer, but haven't listened to it yet. He's no Jerry (no...

    GOT Season Six

    If R+L=J, that means John Snow, Danerys Targareyan and Tyrion Lannister were all born to mothers who died giving birth to them. Perhaps that is a Targ trait? I'm not necessarily sold on Tyrion being a Targ, but it would be one more positive in the "for" column.

    OT: Cal Fires Assistant Coach Due To Sexual Harrasment

    Didn't go to kindergarten with him, but remembered the Hufnagel name from growing up. How many Yanni Hufnagels could there possibly be? After doing some quick googling, yup, its the same guy. My brother was friendly with his younger brother.

    OT: Best Gourmet Chain Burger

    Shake Shack is fine, but really no better than Wendy's in terms of burgers. I'd take Wendy's over 5 Guys as well. Had BareBurger for the first time last weekend and it was excellent. Little Pub in Ridgefield, Wilton and Cos Cob has great burgers as well. Plan B is solid.

    OT - Revisiting Old Albums

    Lots of good suggestions. Some other ones, in no particular order: The Clash - London Calling My Bloody Valentine - Loveless Kyuss - Welcome to Sky Valley The Cars - The Cars Dr. Dre - The Chronic Sugar - Copper Blue Pixies - Doolittle Wu Tang Clan - Enter the Wu Tang (36 Chambers) Public...

    OT: Credit card skimming

    I never use my debit card. Just too paranoid of it getting cloned. Which has happened enough to me with my credit cards to realize its not a matter of if but when. I've noticed that many places have the new "chip" readers, which are supposed to be more secure, but I have yet to encounter one...

    OT: ESPN in-depth article on Deflategate, with roots in Spygate

    Hard to believe the ESPN article is an NFL sponsored piece. Goodell does not come off well at all. He actually comes off worse than the Pats. Plenty of ammo in there for the owners to oust him if they so desire. The SI article is garbage. Absolutely nothing new there.

    Favorite Rentschler Memories

    The 2007 USF game. Was there with my brother in law, who is a USF alum. Even he was rooting for UConn by the end of the game. Just an electric environment and experience.

    OT: Brady out for 4 and Pats lose a first round pick. Nm

    This is a civil case, not a criminal one. Item 1 applies (to some extent), but 2 and 3 do not.

    Doesn't Puerto Rico have the highest percentage of Puerto Ricans in the US? :)

    OT: Brady out for 4 and Pats lose a first round pick. Nm

    If I were a Pats fan I'd be pissed at Brady. Not for deflategate, which is mickey mouse stuff in the grand scheme of things, but for his behavior after it. He could have taken one for the team (literally) and gotten a one or two game suspension at the beginning of the season. Over and done...

    Beer

    Picked up SoS and SS#2 this afternoon at one of my regular package stores. The SS was out front and the SoS was in the back. It's good, but I don't understand the hassle people go through to get it. I can think of a couple of IPAs that are just as good or better and are much easier to find.

    Sons of Anarchy

    This. I kept watching just to see how it ended, but it was borderline ludicrous at times. Show went on for too long and it was pretty clear that Sutter was milking it for all it was worth.
