The BY is a famously welcoming place for visitors from other teams

You might want to ask Cuse fans about that.

@August_West does. To answer your question it is D. Palmieri’s Bakery in Johnston. They even have smaller Pizza Chips there that are addicting. You asked.

this is how I feel about Pizza strips

or LOL "party pizza"

See? Wasn't that easier than trying to indirectly intimate that PC is better than a program they are currently 1.5 games behind...on that program's fan message board?

Actually that was not even close to my intent, I was discussing how every game can be tough, but last night's Butler effort was an exception...I would say let's revisit this in a few games but unfortunately you guys just had Villa and St. Johns canceled...sorry that really sucks...but is good for you guys if you get Bouk back healthy before you play again......

See, again, just weak stuff? Are you a teenager? You just aren't particularly good at this.

The BY is a famously welcoming place for visitors from other teams. If you feel up to commenting seriously, please do. But if you you are going troll, try not to get all butthurt about it when it is noted. It isn't a particularly attractive look.

Again with insult's, seriously grow up man! Try to stay classy CL82, I know it's hard...

That's why I tagged you.

Eric Collins (PBP) reacted to those 3s as if it got Butler to within one possession.

Not everyone can be Gus Johnson.

agreed that gus johnson is the king, but i honestly love collins. his pbp for the hornets makes them worth watching. so many good kemba calls in here:

It's a trick question: they are all terrible!

Truth be told, after years of me torturing a good friend from RI about pizza strips, she brought us a box of them from D. Palmieri when we were in RI for summer vacation and I was constrained to concede that they were "shockingly decent." I still think it's an abomination of pizza, but as something else it has its place (namely, when you are drunk and starving).

To edit that slightly, they are decent when you are drunk, they are decent when you are starving, they are incredibly great when you are drunk and starving.

Exactly. There are plenty of threads where we've spoken glowingly about Syracuse's plucky and gritty play.

I enjoy them but I am also 25 years removed from having easy access to good pizza. Also I don’t think of it as pizza rather a novel, tangy pastry.

One of the guys in my tailgate brings them to the Rent from time to time and we always have more than we can eat, and it is funny to watch the reaction we get when we offer to the people around us. Most want nothing to do with it, but the very few people brave enough to try it usually enjoy it.

Interestingly enough you can buy them in most of the older bakeries throughout the state. There is a bakery in Hope Valley in Hopkinton named West’s Bakery that sells them. They also have their world famous Bismarck’s there. If you are ever in that area and they are open you have to get some of those. This is the best advice I have ever given on this board. You’re welcome in advance.

Butler looked horrible, like they have given up on the season - definitely played tougher earlier in the season against PC, just not the same team, I thought UConn should have beat them by 25! You guys definitely need to get the offense going as you're coming into the tough part of your schedule! What's with missing around the rim so much??

Butler was coming off back to back wins including beating Creighton 10 days earlier. I know you hate UConn but come on.

Or UConn's defense was exemplary.

Honestly I thought UConn's defense was good, not great because they didn't have to play great against Butler, I think they played better defense against Creighton...Just more talented than Butler and Butler couldn't get anything going...It was just Thompson dribbling around looking for help or an open shot for himself...Golden was left alone on the perimeter and hit some shots but that was UConn's game plan as he was 1/18 before going 5/7 3 pters...to keep the score relatively close...

Never said I hated UConn...Just love my Friars as you all love your Huskies...
