Should Jamestown be accepted into the NSIC?

There is a Taco Johns a couple blocks from the high school I went to. Before a basketball game freshman year a couple teammates decided to eat the 6 pack and a pound meal before the game. That surprisingly didn't go over well for them. For those not familiar its a 6 pack of hard sheel tacos and a pound of potato oles.

Eating as a HS boy remains undefeated.

We would frequent the local Pizza Ranch buffet during two-a-days back in HS. Not sure how we survived that afternoon/evening practice after loads of buffalo chicken pizza for lunch, but we did. Sure wish their buffet was $6.36 again for lunch. It was the good ol days and we didn't even know it pre-Funzones, Kirk Cousins sponsorships, and nationwide expansion.

Oof - best case scenario that's a dense meal to take into a basketball game. Worst case scenario... ouch. I like Taco John's though. Handful of times we'd go grab a bag of Oles. One of the best creations.

We lived off of gas station food - especially SuperAmerica. If timed just right, we'd get there when they cleaned off the roller grill and sometimes they'd have the bounty up at the counter. Workers never minded giving that bundle away.

One of them was a lead singer in a death metal band - but in southwest Minnesota. Kinda wonder what happened to that guy. Gas station workers are the best.

Our Pizza Ranch ruled - it had a proper pre-Fun Zone arcade (but no longer does). Also had a TV. At one time they sold sports cards behind the counter.

My go to meal before games was to head to the cafe up town and have a Reuben with fries and a chocolate milk. Grease city, to say the least, but it didn't effect me like it would now. LOL!

And then we would head across the street to the other cafe and dump quarters into the Track and Field Arcade came. Fun memories!

Okay, let's throw another piece of junk into this junk drawer....

The town of Thief River Falls is getting an A level minor pro hockey team next year. They will be playing the in the Federal Prospect Hockey League. It is going to be owned by the league, but looking at the league map, travel is going to be a killer. Topeka, KS, Hamilton, IN and Port Huron, MI are the closest teams. The Detroit area is supposedly getting a team as well.

Looking at team penalty minutes, looks like it could very well be the Federal League from Slapshot......

My pre game meal for football in high school was the linebacker sub from Kwik Trip. It was an 8 inch hoagie with 4 or 5 types of meats and multiple cheese slices. Washed it down with a Gatorade. I miss my young metabolism.

We have a pizza ranch in Winona now and I cant get myself to eat there. I'm afraid it would ruin me for a couple days.

Worst part is school got out at 3:30 and our game stated at 5. Meaning they had less than an hour to eat, digest, and be out on the court for warm ups.

Godfathers buffet was a go-to lunch for me in HS.
48 minute lunch period. 10 minute driver each way. Gotta throw that stuff down as fast as possible, which is also a good idea when eating pounds of pizza. Haha

How many Hanson's are on this team?

I'd be sleepy by that point. That's a lot of food to sort out!

We had one in Marshall - right next to Hardee's. Easily my favorite chain pizza. The one in Watertown, SD is by far the best.

Well that's certainly interesting. Minnesota has a pretty large gap in franchised hockey teams between the NAHL and NHL - but all roads lead to Rochester for potential expansion (sans facilities, obviously), so TRF is a bit of a surprise, regardless of how nice the mini-Ralph is.

Might have to put me down for a jersey though...

[Stanger86]

Small airport in TRF will help somewhat with the travel time, but probably not with expenses.

Our pregame meal for football home games was whatever the cafeteria was serving that day, and it was only one choice. Our field didn't have lights, so we played our home games at 1 PM. It was great!

We got 30mins for lunch but thankully you could get to Pizza Ranch from school in about 5mins or less. The drive to China Inn (RIP to the GOAT) and their buffet was a touch longer but still doable. It's amazing there wasn't more car accidents.

I'll push back on this having been here and being a PR connoisseur in my past.

- 41st St. in Sioux Falls while often a zoo, turns over the food so often it's typically fresher and is usually the tops the list
- Brandon gets high marks and was the best until the Sioux Falls locations came to be (not east 10th St. though, this one is poor)
- Highly bias but Luverne's is small and mighty and what the OG PR was all about in small towns. Still under the same ownership as my childhood and highly consistent

They opened a location in the Nashville suburbs while I lived down there. Hearing the locals discuss this new pizza chain like it was from another country was very amusing considering I grew up with the place. Heck, USF football team banquets have neen held at PR due to their beloved status with Cali teammates who had never heard of it before coming to SF, and still long for it after they moved back. Of all the options we were given in SF, the Cali voting block for PR was hard to convince otherwise.
