UMass???
My guess is the game is showing $65 at Stubhub, so it ranks, somehow.  That's a pretty cheap ticket.

It means other games are event cheaper.

A&M has no business being in the top ten...IMO we're more like about #15 or so.  We could beat any team from #5-25, but also could lose to anybody in that category as well.

All rankings are questionable, but this one really caught my attention. It's not even top-100 in our area, let alone in the country. Oh, and it burned down during Hurricane Milton last year.

U RAH RAH! WIS CON SIN!

It looked nice at least.

I THINK maybe a Top Ten in a city or county MIGHT be worth noting.  Anything beyond that is clearly guesswork, even the Michelin ratings strike me as dubious.  They can't possibly try every good restaurant in a place the size of Atlanta or LA.And supposedly they try winners several times.  I don't even know how they start with a basic list.

With a food item like pizza, it's so variable, personal tastes prevail, and what one person views as great another would not.  BBQ would be better, I think, if one has a standard, like Texas style.  But just BBQ, someone might have superb eastern Caolina BBQ and consider it to be bad.

I get 8 tenders and it cost me like $19.  
Then, on the window poster on the way out, I see it'd have been $10 the next day.

Sigh.
