At least I learned valuable intel about ice cream.Anything which will get this thread off the top of page 1.
Never have so many said so little about so little.

SOLD!!!!!I understand this obsession with ice cream, but does Gusters? Not so very many people choose where to live based on ice cream do they? Does Gusters even like ice cream all that much? Has she ever said? I did read this week about a football player picking Texas because of the Austin barbeque.
I propose Gusters to UConn, Hailey Van Lith to Baylor, and S Andrews to Texas. I think that is more than fair.
But, back to ICE CREAM! If I ever visit within a hundred miles of the UConn campus, I will certainly make it to the Dairy Barn. When I lived in San Francisco, there was an ice cream shop in every neighborhood. One could find different styles as well as different flavors of ice cream. There was a place out in the Mission making tropical flavors such as several varieties of coconut and mango well before such flavors hit main street USA. I moved to Austin 25 years ago and found Amys. That was it -- one local ice cream -- very good, but not exciting. I hear about places selling "craft" ice cream now, but none of the locations are near my home. I am so far making do with Amy's Mexican Vanilla (of which I have become very fond). From the grocery, yes, it is usually Blue Bell. As someone I once knew (may she RIP) would say, I find Blue Bell to be "absolutely acceptable", particularly when one considers the lower calorie count that helps me justify the indulgence.
I know. I can’t believe no one is talking about it.
Oh, it's all over CNN, Fox, and the BBC. Word is getting out.

I remain intrigued by Megan's line about how she's bringing everybody to Storrs.















Hmmm, not really sure how he'd manage that.

Not only ice cream. CT is the world leader in apizza. It gets documented repeatedly online that Frank Pepe's in New Haven, as well as a few other locations, is the best pizza anywhere. Almost any non-chain CT pizza restaurant is better than you will find anywhere else. We lead the nation in ice cream and pizza. 15 combined NCAA D-I national BB titles, more than any other school in the country, attest to that fact.
Fake news! CA pizza universally SUCKS. I have been out here nearly 30 years, have yet find anything better than mediocre and yes, I have tried MM and most of the other highly-touted places. CT pizza by far the best. I just got back from a CT visit. First night had Frank Pepe's - sheer heaven! That and some whole belly fried clams and I returned a happy guy!- I have lately discovered one that competes. It's Mountain Mike's, a NorCal chain with some OR, NV, UT locations.
Gusters to Baylor
Sorry I ate at Pepe's and others in CT when I lived there and NYC/Brooklyn have the top pizza. That said my favorite ice cream was Rich Farms in Oxford CT.While agreeing that the pizzas I grew up with in Connecticut still set the standard -- and it's the thick, rich red sauces that I mostly don't find almost everywhere else -- I have lately discovered one that competes. It's Mountain Mike's, a NorCal chain with some OR, NV, UT locations. it's anecdotal because I've only tried two stores in Sacramento, but their quality has been consistently excellent -- for sauce, crust and toppings. The McKinley version has been our house pizza for a few months now.
Note that after living in the West for 30 years that my tastes have modified a bit -- the slight cayenne sting in MM's sauce is a plus for me, which wouldn't have been true when I lived in CT.
Almost all the top posts UConn has missed on (Wilson, Cox, Collier, Gusters, etc.) have elected to stay close to home. Boston is the one true head scratcher who’s decision is hard to explain. Thank goodness for Liv.Another Post/PF Player doesn't sign with UConn. Don't understand why Geno/Chris have difficulty signing players of size over the last few years. They have a great record of putting Post/PF's into the WNBA.
Can’t Aubrey jump like crazy. Maybe she can help with bigs like gabby since they play bigger than their sizeCardoso and Daniels are the only remaining big American (as in playing in America) recruits I can think of......perhaps UConn will have to wait for DeBerry in '21....
Aubrey is thin, but she is long and has hops. I believe she can dunk a softball or a volleyball. I’m not sure about a basketball.Can’t Aubrey jump like crazy. Maybe she can help with bigs like gabby since they play bigger than their size
So teams found out a formula to beat UConn 4 to 5 body's on the team a ball handler who's clutch and a great 3 point shooter. But to be honest I think this season is ok if ONO can stay out of foul trouble. At the end of the day what big is going to stop our speedy guards in the open floor. do we have 3 point shooters to bust that zone????
