Just a side note here (I'm not jumping into the main issue). About 20 (or
more) years ago, I was on the staff of a large Goichberg scholastic
tournament in Chicago. As you stated, Brenda made a food run to a local
pizza place. Unfortunately, she was used to New York style pizza, and
didn't realize that Chicago pizza is deep dish. She bought each TD an
entire 12-inch pizza. None of the TDs, even Josh Flores who is famous for
his large-capacity stomach, was able to eat more than half. We ended up
sharing the food with the players.
