We have a legit shot at him. That would be big!
If he commits to Washington this whole "negative recruiting" thing we've been citing is most definitely a shamYuck. Wrong Huskies.

Why

Because of all schools it should be easiest to negatively recruit against Washington at this pointWhy
Yuck. Wrong Huskies.
At least the staff is getting some recruiting help from Emmitt. Check out the comments.

Chill is turning up Blaze’s wood fire oven
The parent company should have been all over this particular franchisee with their own inspections and follow-up of the the State of IN findings.I guess Notre Dame won't be implementing the Blaze strategy any time soon.
Not for nothing, but Blaze does not use wood in their ovens. They are gas fueled.
Just gas at Blaze... unless Storrs is special somehow. But I tend to think it isn't. They do heat their oven up pretty good. 900 degrees or so.
Gas and wood cook pretty similarly anyway. Gas ends up more even, doesn't get the flavor of whatever wood you're using, loses some character from the wood's variance in temperature. Gas maybe slightly drier because of moisture lost from wood. Lots easier to manage obviously... Coal on the other hand, is very dry and hot. Think Pepe's. More water in dough is normal. Different experience altogether.
All this to say, I hope the Blaze strategy isn't attempted on pizza snobs. Might backfire.
Not even wood-fired propane assist? Lame.
Wow, they can get a propane oven up to 900 degrees? That's surprising. I know of tiny little ovens (like a Roccbox, Blackstone etc.) that are propane, but they're never very consistent. Cool. I usually cook at about 950 degrees ceiling temp, 750ish floor temp on my home oven.
Wood doesn't leave any flavor at all when it burns that hot. One of my favorite reasons for using the wood fired oven.
and yeah, Pepe's is wet. I think they cook at something 65-70 like percent hydration. I usually cook at 60-64 depending on the weather.
Do you use a starter?

You learned something Neapolitan from a guy in Naples? Ya don't say. I learned to drink beer from a bunch of Torringtonians in Torrington back in the day.
