  1. The Rax salad bar and the Wendy’s SuperBar were always a favorite for me! We moved from Pittsburgh to suburban Detroit in 1988 when Rax started to have their identity crisis, I’d go back down for most of the summer and any breaks from school, every time I’d go to Rax they’d have some weird new thing like those chicken sandwiches or a new “bar” like a pasta bar, or taco bar. Their roast beef was way better than Arby’s and there was no reason to over complicate a frozen hunk of chicken thrown into a deep fryer sandwich.
  2. The initial reaction/issue is that it's not a locally based company, had it be renamed Alcoa Stadium, UPMC Field, Dick's Sporting Goods Stadium, Turner Stadium or even Edgar Snyder & Associates Park, there wouldn't have been this much uproar and us Yinzers would be able to deal with it.
  3. Davis wrestled as Mr. X, normally he would work the first match as Mr. X then ref a few matches later in the card.
  4. Really disappointed that The Rooney's didn't go with a locally based corporation, sure money talks but an out of state insurance company no one has ever heard or can pronounce is a bad move, I'm really hoping they get a lot of blowback for this. The Heinz name going isn't a shocker since it's now just a brand under the Kraft umbrella and not really local anymore, plus Kraft know's everyone but announcers will still call it Heinz Field.
  5. Wasn’t that somewhat debunked due to Piper and Patterson not being in the same territory at the same time until the WWF in 1984?
  6. What value does the ACC's strongest brands(Clemson football, and Duke & UNC basketball) really add for the SEC? Sure Clemson is on a great run but how long will that last? A school with much deeper pockets will snatch up Dabo within the next 10 years, can Clemson keep things rolling with whoever replaces him? Plus the school is in South Carolina which isn't a needle mover when it comes to adding more tv viewers. Sure Duke and UNC would upgrade the basketball side of things but all of these moves are about football, the SEC would be adding another Vanderbilt and Kentucky on the football side. The biggest reason the SEC would add any ACC schools is to keep the B1G out of the south.
  7. Has a legit source confirmed this? Some dude with a swimming blog was the one who first tweeted this rumor. Also, wouldn’t the SEC be the ones reaching out to UNC & UVA? Purely to keep the B1G from taking them and getting a foothold in the south.
  8. The Mall is still open, they even have legit anchor stores! https://www.edenprairiecenter.com Going by the Mom & Pop Video stores near me, RST would go from video store, to 95% adult videos video store, to we'll sell your stuff on eBay store, to burner cell phone store, to vape shop, to dispensary. I can see Randall still working at whatever was in that spot.
  9. So is that Lit song going to be used to represent the 90's like "For What It's Worth" did/still does for the 60'? With Clerks II, I could never buy that Dante & Randall would work at a fast food restaurant, there's no way they'd go from Quick Stop and RST Video to something that involves that much actual work, off brand cellphone store or mall kiosk sure, but not fast food. That makes me wonder, if the same studio produced both Clerks and Mallrats would Smith have had Dante and Randall working somewhere in the Mallrats mall?
  10. Started watching The Old Man, sorry for the hot take but I don't get the love for it.
  11. As a fan of a school in the ACC I'm all for this! This would slot both conferences above what'll eventually be the Group of 6, even with the distance a Conference Championship Game in Las Vegas is a million times more appealing than one in Charlotte, this would be for football so the other sports wouldn't have to make trips like Miami to Pullman, and the biggie the Big 12 is pretty much the Mos Eisley of college sports and it would be gross to be affiliated with them.
  12. I can see Stanford if the B1G can land Notre Dame, it gives basketball and Olympics sports three games/events close together on West Coast trips, Notre Dame keeps a traditional rival on the schedule which leaves a non-conference game slot open, and the whole “we’re an academic conference” thing gets a boost. If the B1G does end up snagging ND would they stop at 18? The money is going to be huge, so why cut anyone else in.
  13. UVA and UNC will be the “southern” teams the B1G adds, with Washington, Oregon, UCLA, USC, Arizona and Colorado for the western expansion. This isn’t just about TV money, there’s a population and brain drain in most of the B1G states, adding schools in states where that population is moving to is a factor in all of this.
  14. I guess it’s safe to assume Phil Knight it on the phone telling the Big 10 President’s and AD’s all that Nike money is gone if the Ducks get left behind.
  15. I feel really bad for the student-athletes in the ACC/Big 12/PAC 12 leftovers conference, those Miami to Pullman trips are going to be a killer. For me at least it’ll lead to Pitt and WVU playing every season.
  16. I don’t think you’ll see an elite league spring out of the super league, these schools are still going to want 8 home games every other season, in conference teams like Indiana to beat up on every year, and double digit wins every year to keep the big money donors and fans happy.
  17. The ACC is next, but it all depends on how many teams the Big 10 and SEC want to max out at.
  18. The B1G could also add Colorado and one of the Arizona schools to keep the contiguous thing going.
  19. It's not about bringing in a top team, it's about the number of TV sets you bring, that's why Rutgers and Maryland fell ass backwards in the Big 10.
  20. Had the two VCR’s and may or may not have copied some movies, by the time the copy protection rolled around I had access to all of the movie channels and would tape whatever off those.
  21. While I enjoyed the final episode, the bad of the entire series outweighed the good for me. This really should have either been a 2 hour movie like originally planned or they needed to expand things to 10 episodes.
  22. Didn't they already shoot season 5?
  23. Oneil Cruz who'll be traded for prospects in a few years made his Pirates debut last night, 96.7 mph throw from short to first.
