Not necessarily related to football, but this is an argument between my wife and me. We were very poor when we were in school in the late 70's and early 80's we would go to McDonald's and get hamburgers. We can't remember if they were 10 for a dollar or 10 for $2.50 on Tuesdays - i believe once a month. Anyone remember?

thanks.

They were a quarter until 8:00 pm. Had a dear friend who played on our Little Ritz/Cats' Den softball team the year McDonalds sponsored us. He showed up with his two kids at 8:02. Was denied quarter burgers. Made disparaging remarks about the McDonalds owner. Never played another game on our team. I'll never forget that. 25 cent burgers on Tuesday till 8:00.

Well while we are on the subject of food deals.....

What was the price deal offered by Avalanche Pizza in the early 2000s? Are they still around?

I thought it was like 3 large pizzas for $10 on certain nights? I would probably find it gross now but I ate it because it's what the budget allowed.

We were pretty spoiled when I was a student when it came to free food as a result of the university's efforts to curtail the party school image. Baker Center usually had free pizza on weekend nights as part of their "Baker Nights" program. There was also usually some kind of party at Ping with a large spread for things like the Super Bowl, NCAA tournament watches, etc.

My most depressing memory was when DP Dough stopped giving out BOGO coupons after I think many (including myself) always "forgot" to bring the delivery guy the coupon when paying.

I graduated in 92 and quarter burger night (max 10) was still in effecthe on Tuesdays.

I know the Burrito Buggy deservedly gets a ton of love but I sure could go for a $2 12" late night French bread pizza right about now.

If memory serves, it was a standing 2 for the price of one (so something like $5-10), and it became 3 for the price of one if you went there and picked it up. I don't remember all the details, but I'm pretty sure that's the deal you're referring to

$1 happy hour aquarium's at the Pub (maybe just on Tuesday's, but could have been every day), which was preceded by a workout at the old Athens Fitness center at the far north end of Court St. I hadn't learned by then that rehydrating after a workout did not include a 32 ounce draft.

Amen to that. Avalanche was my least favorite Athens pizza place for that very reason. It's the pizza that if someone shows up with it and offers me a slice, sure I'm going to eat it, because it's pizza. And it's greasy enough to pair decently with beer too. But no way am I going to spend my own money on it, because I'm not getting more than one meal out of it, and there is much better drunk pizza in town.

(Goodfellas corner slice FTW....)
