[Guapo]

Hi guys,

Long time reader, first time poster.

I've been reading the yard for years now and had a some drinks last night and finally decided to pull the trigger and make an account.

About me/important opinions:

-Graduated from UConn, now I live in DC.

-On Conference Realignment: If UConn could somehow keep football in the AAC and put basketball in the Big East that would be great and I hope AD Dave is pushing for it but I won't get my hopes up. In the meantime, sticking it out in the AAC for a few more years until the Big 12 blows up is what has to be done.

-Kevin Ollie: I still support KO but I think his leash is shortening. Some say that this is a make or break year, but I'm giving him at least 2 years to turn things around and improve his in-game coaching.

- Syracuse sucks.

-Fishy is Chief.

Oh, also I want to play more games at Gampel than in Hartford.

I don't think anyone has mentioned this in the pizza thread: First and Last in Hartford is great.

Pepe's is the best New Haven pizza, no reason to overthink it.

DC is a pizza desert, it makes me so sad/mad.

Any other important boneyard opinions I need to have?

Welcome to the BY! I've lived in DC and concur regarding the lack of quality pizza. In fact, you can draw a line south of DC to Key West and west of DC to the Pacific Ocean and add all of that territory to the pizza desert. Even though I live within that vast pizza wasteland, I am truly blessed to have an oasis about five minutes from my house that has pizza which compares favorably to Conn. Not quite as great, but very close, and the absolute best I've ever had south of the Mason-Dixon line.

About me/important opinions:

Congrats on finally pulling the trigger. One comment, none of your opinions are "important." Sound harsh? Well none of ours are either. If you internalize that, you will be much happier.

Welcome aboard!

Petes New Haven Pizza moderately reminds me of home but it is a 20 minute drive for me to Arlington. His email list has some pretty good offers too. I'd love to bring some talent down from CT and show all the clowns here what a good pizza looks and taste like.

 

[Guapo]

A bunch of my friends from CT live here as well and anytime we get together the convo turns to pizza. Someday we'll stop complaining and do something about it...but we dont wanna lose any Italian recruits to Georgetown or anything

Guapo enters.



Moretti leaves.

Speaking of Arlington, the other Arlington in TX has a pizza place called Corky's. It's owned by folks who used to have one in E. Hartford. Then they moved to Florida and now the DFW Metroplex. It's supposed to be pretty good. We never made it over there at the Final Four because we were too drunk to make the trip over to the SW corner of Arlington, after our infamous Lot 13 tailgates and all night parties at the Hyatt. If you happen to live in or visit the DFW area, check it out.

Nice well done...
I know I had it in my room. No tape either lol

Welcome aboard Guapo. Now get out while you can.

 

[huskymedic]

So now there is a Guapo and an @ElGuapo??

DC is a pizza desert, it makes me so sad/mad.

Everyone I know from CT who lives anywhere just about anywhere else says pretty much the same thing.

Agree on cuse suckage, but you have to realize that Duke, UNC, KY and ND all suck, too. Only the order of suckitude is really open for debate.

And BC, which sucks almost enough to make the list, but is hindered by the inconsequentiality of its BBall program.

I agree that all of those schools suck as well. I'm willing to add BC to the outright sucks list due to the off the field issues.

BC isn't good enough to make that list.

Every time I see statements like this, I completely agree. But then I remember they are inexplicably P5, and I shed a tear.

That makes them even worse. All the supposed advantages of being in the ACC, and they still aspire to just suck.

Welcome, but I have to say you have horrible timing

unless, of course, you're a foodie too
