Hmm. probably a WaWa guy...

There are wawas in TB now so I guess that could be a thing.  They are die hards.

If the hoi polloi would like to dine on rock sandwiches, I do not begrudge them of that but they are objectively gross and Publix is the AAC of grocery stores.

What if I told you there was no need to be bound by the chains of eating at gas stations and grocery stores and there is a whole world of dining options where people actually specialize is doing something and do it much better?

I could see you not liking the subs (no one is perfect) but Publix is definitely not the AAC.  Now you are making wild claims.

ACC needs to hold a formal vote. Imagine going to court as FSU against the GoR and exiting the ACC and the ACC presents evidence that FSU actively voted against increasing the conference's revenue. 

"Hi yes, the ACC did not actively work in FSU's best interests"

"Uh, it says here you voted against the ACC working in your best interests"

"... No comment"

is this behavior in a way kind of like what Pitt and Syracuse did to the Big East (although I think they were working with ESPN all along).  I recall Pitt and Syracuse holding out on the Big East contract while they were working to get out of the Big East and into the ACC the whole time.  All orchistrated by ESPN.  Only difference was that back then it was a clever and novel deception.  Now it is the normal way of doing things in conference realignment.  Those guys were ahead of their time.

The Aac of grocery stores is more like a run down gas station with microwave burritos and hot dogs that have been rolling since yesterday, with several addicts passed out in the parking lot.

That sounds delicious but I was thinking more along the lines of well ranked local places in any location, if gun to my head I had to pick a chain place I guess today I would pick Firehouse. What is special about anything that Publix does with their subs? Use concrete in the bread, have chicken tenders available and use boar's head (that is available to anyone)?

As for  the Publix portion they are definitely AAC and just because they have kept in only lower G5 competition that is even worse does not change the fact that they are not great by any stretch of the imagination.

I think both find themselves as top of the middle, which is fine, I just don't feel pretend to celebrate it simply because I see it as my only option.
