I couldn't listen to the show, but would LOVE to hear about the fish throwing policy? Thanks for any help you can provide :)

Throw fish- uphold a wonderful 40 year tradition. Just, don't get caught. And for the love of god do it BEFORE the game, before the whistle blows. As sucks enters the ice, they will skate over towards the townie side (they know whats coming). This is typically when everyone throws fish.

I think the appropriate smiley on both accounts is more like :-/
So basically same as last year? Or any difference in penalties?
[quote RichH]What's "Rogan's?"[/quote]
The last trace of Rogan's finally closed about two weeks ago: my friend called up Rogan's Northeast and they said they changed names, cheese, crust, etc. So, Rogan's is now officially dead. :(

Blasphemy. It was the best pizza in this damn town. Was it spectacular? No. But given the options...

Exactly my thought. Really, what's left? Papa John's? Dominos? Pudgie's? It sorta blew my mind when I was told the 'default' late night delivery pizza option for students had become Papa John's. Chain pizza...in Ithaca?
There's some nostalgia for the local, greasy, college town pizza that would arrive at 1:30 am and be gone before the box was even fully opened, no matter where you went to school. Scouring your dorm floor, looking for someone who either had an extra coupon or wanted to split a pizza.
At least collegetown still has the by-the-slice places, although I can't vouch for either Mama T's or "Wendy's" Pizza, compared to the 2 College Ave. places that closed in the '90s. I'd rather hit Hot Truck twice before either of those.
Mama T's is pure crap, but C-Town Pizza isn't bad, if you're into the really greasy NYC style pizza thing.

Not that I am happy about a local business going under; local ownership is enough reason for me to prefer Rogan's to Domino's and Papa John's, but I always preferred the no-delivery joints in Collegetown, even the bad ones.
Alas, the advent of electricity changed the pizza-making industry in spades since your time on the hill.

Good point. Clearly, my opinion on this matter should be taken as gospel truth. :-P

I can't believe enough people buy their pizza that they have multiple locations, and yet they do.

Hot Truck, sadly, is on the downhill I think. Last time I was in Ithaca, I went there at 2am-ish on a weekend night and they were out of cheese. OUT OF CHEESE! ::cuss::
[quote KeithK]You make it sound like Rogan's was actually good.[/quote]
Rogan's wasn't good. But it was an institution: at least once a week, I would eat the stuff, and I loved it because I associated it with all sorts of good memories. I'm saddened to see it gone.

Try Sammy's on the Commons--order by the slice. Fantastic eggplant pizza, among many others.

Credibility: gone. Eggplant is something that simply doesn't belong on pizza.
Pizza goes with sausage, pepperoni, salami, mushrooms, onions, and/or extra cheese. Other things might be tasty, but part of pizza they are not.
I'll hide under my asbestos blanket now.

Most boring, pointless, and unwinnable argument ever. The inventors of pizza would probably have been horrified at the presence of pepperoni on their flatbread with cheese, and they didn't even know that tomatoes existed. But you grew up with pepperoni and tomato sauce, and without eggplant, hence your (boring, pointless, and unwinning) viewpoint. Yawn.

No shit, Sherlock. ::bang:: I specifically posted it as opinion-masquerading-as-fact, in the hopes of getting some actually-humorous responses from people who disagree but understand that I am merely needling them.
And Chicago pizza isn't pizza either: it's bread-sauce-cheese pie. ::whistle::

"Whatsa alla thisa meata ona mya pizza!"
Never mind the fact that a round pizza is something you do not find in Italy. It's sheet pizza cut into small rectangles.
And it tastes better than most anything you find in this country, let alone in a pizza-desert like Ithaca.
::rolleyes:: for Kyle.

Um, I've had plenty of round pizza in Italy. Granted it wasn't in Napoli (all north of Roma actually).

I've heard that several times. I think someone should tell it to the Italians... the couple times I was there, round pizzas were everywhere. And not just in chain, in local restaurants, too.
I agree that Sammy's is very good. I used to stop there a lot on the way to or from the office to get that meat-meat-meat pizza that starts with a "c" (I forget what it's called, silly me).
I also liked Mamma T's, but I can see why people wouldn't.

The pizza I had in Venice was round. It was good, but did not compare to the food I had in Tuscany.

Di Fara's is the best I have tasted. On my next trip out to Midwood I'm going to have to try the square pie which many say is better than the round.

Have you ever heard of Sal's? Gino's? Pizza Aroma? Sammie's?
Any one of those blows away Rogans. You call yourself an Italian???
You obviously aren't from New York.;-)
Ever been to Italy? They put sh*t on pizza that would curl your shorthairs, my friend.**]

Totonno's in Coney is a pizzeria; the other locations are restaurants. I've heard and read varying opinions about the Manhattan Totonno's, but the most favorable say that while the pizza is quite good there, it doesn't hold a candle to the original.

This site says it's among the best in the world! It can't be wrong! :-P
http://pizzatherapy.com/easta.htm
Count me among those with no credibility if you must, but there's a place in Philly that makes a fantastic ravioli pizza.
I also enjoyed the pasta pizza at wendy's pizza. The medium weighs about 6 pounds and can feed 4-5 with ease.
Sal's and Gino's are nasty. Sammy's is ok. Pizza Aroma is sometimes ok if you like half a pound of corn mean with each slice.
And for the record, my father was born in the Bronx and I grew up about 15 miles away from The City. I'll stick with my assessment.

First the Chariot and now Rogan's??? That makes my #1 and #2 Pizza choices in college gone. So sad...
[quote kaelistus]First the Chariot[/quote]
Well, the Nines is still there, and it's owned by the same people. That's now my favorite pizza in town (sniff).
