I’ll be coaching a math competition in New Haven this weekend and pizza is on the menu for lunch. What are the odds the pie is true New Haven style?
Yes!!! That was our plan all the time. Picking ponies for hours at the old Racebook (before Fanduel moved in), drinking for free while eating the white clam pies from Pepe's.I have no complaints about Pepe's from Mohegan Sun and I have grabbed clam pies from there multiple times.
No escaping the gravity of the BY pizza threadNo, someone started a different thread about best pizza near Fairfield in January and it got merged into this one
Good call. Pizza was delicious.Yes. It is good and they offer by the slice.

Great question. And we had Kemba, Shabazz and Lamb. Then Boat and Shabazz together. Imagine the budget for that or even our 99, 04 teams.Really makes you wonder what a guy like Kemba would have been worth going into his junior season. We’re getting multi-million dollar NIL deals for barely above average players now.
I’m all for pay for play and adjusting with the times as an alum and fan, but something about that last sentence leaves a bad taste in my mouth. Scary to think if times were different back then would we able to form those rosters.Great question. And we had Kemba, Shabazz and Lamb. Then Boat and Shabazz together.

Going into his junior season? Probably not an outrageous amount because no one knew he was going to show up as superman going into that season.Really makes you wonder what a guy like Kemba would have been worth going into his junior season.

u got hosed. Harly best place in NLSpeaking of pizza money...4 slices and a White Birch Foxon Park soda cost me over $28 at Illiano's in New London today. $6.50 a slice.
1989 at least.. I should know.Shabazz never was hungry. That’s such BS.
He just was not getting paid..
Student Athletes have and had access to food…
Not really. Kemba had a sophomore slump and UConn was not any great shakes in Nov. '10. No one west of Stamford really took notice until they came home from Maui with the hardware, beating Mich. St. and Kentucky.Really makes you wonder what a guy like Kemba would have been worth going into his junior season. We’re getting multi-million dollar NIL deals for barely above average players now.
Yes, they weren't ranked in the preseason poll. As a matter of fact they didn't even get a single vote.Not really. Kemba had a sophomore slump and UConn was not any great shakes in Nov. '10.

I'm pretty sure SI had us ranked 68th to start the season. I'm going off of memory.Yes, they weren't ranked in the preseason poll. As a matter of fact they didn't even get a single vote.

I dont recall if they ranked 68 i think that may have been the first year after expansion but we were not ranked. Granted it was a tournament projection not a ranking and included one bid leagues. Reagrdless they did not project us to make the field.I'm pretty sure SI had us ranked 68th to start the season. I'm going off of memory.
