Just opened a bottle of Prosecco to celebrate. Yum.

And I'm drinking it lefty.

"When you're here, you're familly" sounds a bit more like a football thing, no?

Niccolo upon trying central Illinois Italian food for the first time:

Actually, many small towns in central Illinois have excellent family owned Italian restaurants. Italians worked in the coal
mines of central and southern Illinois after immigrating to America in the early 1900's.

Pru, be happy that you have parents still around to enjoy their company. Knowing our ages, it is rare to have such long-lived parents-- and hardy too, surviving three bouts of Covid!
Remember, the key to a long life-- Pick your parents carefully!
Mine would be well over 100...RIP

Dad will be 94 in twelve days and mom is 92.......

At glance, I thought it was Podz.

Have you been to Italy? Nothing comes even close to that.

 

[ILLI die hard]

Dinners in Italy can last 4 hrs. and you may offend cooks and staff for leaving early. But Oh what a meal. Mangia!

Somewhere between 40 and 45 times. I have family there and traveled to Italy for decades on business.
There are many, many different food types in various regions of Italy. Some of the restaurants in central
Illinois are excellent.

Heard he loved the fact that we have an Olive Garden in town and that was the deciding factor.

Ill be there on Friday night. I love that place. Anyone going to the Michigan State game?

Welcome Nico! Tutti a tavola, a mangiare!

 

[EyeoftheIllini]

Wasn’t really expecting that Skyy might come back, but does this signing pretty much officially shut the door on that?

 

[john1952]

Anyone remember "Mama Would Be Proud", an Italian restaurant located near Market Place mall???

I will not comment on the specifics of the situation ...

But he moved out of his apartment and cleared out his locker ... Tells you pretty much all you need to know ...

Welcome Nico! Tutti frutti oh rutti

Seems that that would hurt eligibility with whatever is next for him if it is at the collegiate level.

 

[Joel Goodson]

I don't love what happened with Clark, but I flippin' love the message sent by the very quick Moretti add. No one is irreplaceable.

[theNewGuy]

But I really like Pizzeria Antica & Biaggi's...

It's Mona's or Capponi's for me

No he could wait and transfer after this semester starts. He would be immediately eligible for next season. I suspect he is done playing college ball.. I expect he will go to the G league or Europe to play.. Just my thought

Don’t sleep on Manzella’s

I'll be there. First time since I was 8 and it's been 30 years. Even long for my mom who is a grad.
