It was a cheese pizza topped with fries, mozzarella sticks, and I believe chicken strips? Never heard of that one. I could knock out a large cheese pie in 1 shot after hockey practice with ease.

Gumby's was my first ever meal at USF when I arrived a week before class for orientation. They have one here in Raleigh, and I get one from time to time for nostalgia. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim, I owe my life to you. I may be the opposite. My graduation present to myself was to split a large everything pizza with one of my fellow Oracle staffers. It nearly crippled my then 6'2" 145-pound frame and set me on the path to being twice the man I was back then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gainesville would of gotten too boring for me and probably would of partied too much due to boredom lol. Plus there was this chick that was friends with that helped convince me to pick USF over UF lol 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
