That's right. You can bring (almost) any cup, or drinking vessel you can think of and fill it with Slurpee on the cheap, but you do have to follow a few rules:[/COLOR][/SIZE][/I] [LIST] [*][I][SIZE=2][COLOR=#ff8000]It must fit through a 10-inch diameter hole.[/COLOR][/SIZE][/I] [*][I][SIZE=2][COLOR=#ff8000]It must be clean.[/COLOR][/SIZE][/I] [*][I][SIZE=2][COLOR=#ff8000]It must be watertight.[/COLOR][/SIZE][/I] [*][I][SIZE=2][COLOR=#ff8000]One cup per customer.[/COLOR][/SIZE][/I] [/LIST] [I][SIZE=2][COLOR=#ff8000]So leave your gigantic trash bags and leaky sneakers at home, but feel free to bring a pineapple, a flower vase or any other loony containers you have the urge to get brain freeze from. Someone at each store will be checking to make sure customers' cups are clean, and there will be a station to check whether they meet the size restrictions. The "Bring Your Own Cup Day" promotion runs today and tomorrow, March 18 and 19, from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. at about 7,700 [URL='https://www.7-eleven.com/Home/Locator']participating 7-Eleven stores[/URL] nationwide. This year, to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Slurpee, the company has revealed a new [URL='https://www.slurpee.com/byoc/press.html']Airheads Xtremes Rainbow Berry Slurpee[/URL] flavor in time for BYO Cup Day. Slurpee hopes people will share photos of their outrageous Slurpees on social media with hashtag [URL='https://twitter.com/hashtag/BYOCupDay']#BYOCupDay[/URL] on Instagram and Twitter. The company will also be sharing all the BYO Cup Day action on its SnapChat account REALLYSLURPEE. ...[/COLOR][/SIZE][/I] [B][FONT=Arial][SIZE=6][COLOR=#ff8000]SU News[/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT][/B] [B][URL='http://www.newsobserver.com/sports/college/acc/article66666302.html']Syracuse Football Fans at Raleigh (newsobserver.com; Coons)[/URL][/B] [I][COLOR=#ff8000]... Although Magner also has a rooting interest in the Tar Heels because of family ties, he said he will have to add another team this weekend. “My daughter has been accepted to UVa,” he said. “So we’ll become Cavalier fans.” Orange is the new fan: No, Susie Martin and Mary Anne Layo weren’t lost as they compared notes with fellow fans while walking the PNC concourse. But their Syracuse T-shirts certainly could have created that impression, with the 10th-seeded Orange off in St. Louis to play seventh-seeded Dayton on Friday. “It’s called a free room,” Martin laughed. Layo, 68, hails from Massena, N.Y., about 180 miles from Syracuse, and is staying at Martin’s home in Holly Springs this week. They are college basketball junkies and just like going to games. “We were cheerleaders in high school,” Layo said. “That’s all the girls had.” Martin and Layo grew up in upstate New York and attended Nazareth College in Rochester, N.Y. They’re Syracuse fans by default. “It’s the only Division I football team in New York,” Layo pointed out. ACC country: By far the biggest fan bases in evidence Thursday afternoon were from UVa and UNC. The Cavaliers had the advantage of the early game, and Virginia and UNC paraphernalia were the hottest sellers at the various NCAA kiosks on the PNC concourse. “The UNC stuff is selling the best,” one staffer in the kiosk noted. “But we have plenty. We won’t run out.” ...

For the most part, it’s a fairly favorable schedule that the Irish will play this coming fall against ACC foes. Brian Kelly’s squad avoids trap games at places like Florida State and Clemson, which derailed early College Football Playoff aspirations for the Irish in each of the last two seasons. All in all, Notre Dame’s ACC slate in 2016 isn’t terribly challenging, as it’ll play three programs with first-year head coaches in Syracuse, Miami and Virginia Tech, and it will also take on Duke and NC State in October. The Irish are playing an early-season showdown at Texas to open their season on Sept. 3, and then they’ll play in Notre Dame Stadium on Sept. 17 against CFP participant Michigan State. Notre Dame takes on both Navy and Army this year, as the Irish will play the Midshipmen on Nov. 5 in Jacksonville, Florida, and the Black Knights at the Alamodome in San Antonio on Nov. 12. Along with maintaining traditional rivalry games with Stanford (hosting in South Bend Oct. 15) and Southern Cal (traveling to Los Angeles for the regular-season finale on Nov. 26), the Irish play one additional non-ACC opponent, as they’ll host Nevada in the home opener Sept. 10. Out of the five ACC contests Notre Dame will play in 2016, just one is on the road, as the Fighting Irish will travel to Raleigh on Oct. 8 to play NC State at Carter-Finley Stadium. Naturally, the crowd dynamic at NCSU could pose some major problems for the Irish, but it won’t be anything they’re not used to, as they will have played in Austin’s massive Darrell K. Royal-Texas Memorial Stadium a little over a month before they come to Raleigh. ...[/COLOR][/I] [B][FONT=Arial][SIZE=6][COLOR=#ff8000]Other[/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT] [URL='http://www.syracuse.com/restaurants/index.ssf/2016/03/the_ps2_peppinos_neapolitan_award-winning_pizza.html#incart_m-rpt-1'] [IMG]http://image.syracuse.com/home/brightcove01/width180/img/6/260825829001/201603/277/260825829001_4805596629001_pizza.jpg?pubId=260825829001[/IMG] The PS2: Peppino's International Award-Winning Pizza Debuts in Syracuse (video; PS; Cazentre)[/URL][/B] [I][COLOR=#ff8000]John Vigliotti has been making pizzas in his family's business (Peppino's) for 30 years. He's made both New York style pies and pan pizzas. But it was only recently, with his decision to open a Neapolitan-style pizza place with a brick-lined oven in Armory Square, that he decided he needed to do some advanced pizza study. It paid off: In May 2015, he [URL='http://www.syracuse.com/food/index.ssf/2015/05/peppinos_neapolitan_express_fired_up_in_armory_square.html']opened Armory Square's Peppino's Pizza Neapolitan[/URL]after spending time learning from [URL='http://www.tonygemignani.com/restaurants/tonys-pizza-napoletana/']renowned San Francisco pizza maker Tony Gemignan[/URL]i (of Tony's Pizza Napolitano). It's a build-your-own pizzeria, with Italian ingredients and an 800-degree oven that bakes thin-crust personal pizzas in 90 seconds. Last week, Vigliotti went a step further: He[URL='http://www.syracuse.com/restaurants/index.ssf/2016/03/owner_of_syracuse_pizzeria_owner_takes_2nd_place_in_world_pizza_competition.html'] won 2nd place in the "traditional pizza" category at the International Pizza Challenge[/URL], a contest at the International Pizza Expo in Las Vegas. The challenge drew 200 of the world's finest pizzaioli, or pizza makers. In his first try, Vigliotti finished second only to Nino Coniglio of Williamsburg Pizza in Brooklyn. The pizza he won with is called the PS2 (that's for two kinds of pepperoni and two kinds of sausage). The full ingredient list includes a sweet red pizza sauce and a mozzarella and sharp provolone cheese blend, topped with Italian sausage, dry aged sausage, cup and char pepperoni and then finished with creamy ricotta and shaved manchego cheese, julienne pepperoni and Calabrian oregano. ...
