Than FIRST's headquarters should be in Boston!

hey now... actually, 'Papa John' himself went to BSU and graduated from the business college here. The very first Papa John's was on the campus.

So in that case... Should headquarters be in Muncie, IN?

Those two (three?) timing scoundrels! I can barely turn on a red-sox game without hearing about how "Boston" Papa Johns is

...and they're headquarters is in Kentucky!

That's why Sal's is better. Same Bostonian Style Pizza, but a loyal man owns it! ;P Go Sal's!

Not only 'Papa John" but Dave Letterman too. That has to get them some points.

Yep, pretty much. You know this crazy ChiefDelphi... nothing but useless information and kids ranting about pizza.

Anyway, I'm surprised nobody thought of tapping into the sports teams here?

Maybe we could introduce Dean to Jim Ursay, then we could just pull up a Mayflower moving van to the Manceser HQ and move the whole thing here overnight. Worked once, anyway.

You better not. That's all I'm going to say...

Now I take offense to this. Mayflower did the moving, Robert Irsay made the decision and Jim Irsay doesn't seem as bad... yet.

*start sad background music* I had to grow up in a city where there was no professional football. Such a storied history of the Baltimore Colts lost; an owner out to screw the world, and all of us growing up without a team in our home town. Even the great Baltimore Colts (Johnny U) didn't want their history moved. *end sad background music*

But then again, we got rid of a bad owner, and got the Modell family, a new team, a Super Bowl victory, and a new museum And the Irsay's, well they're in the same place again 20 years later.

Maybe FIRST should just move to the Baltimore/DC area that way they are closer to all those politicians. Plus they won't have to move again 20 years from now.

Word through the grape vine says that FIRST is moving to California...

[Amanda Morrison]

All of us have heard that they're moving to Indy... and not just from David, either.

Jeez... believe me, David was NOT lying when he said reliable sources...

Dean-san will be so happy when he finds out.

darn the colts and their lack of superbowl victory! oh well...you know there is money in Indy...look at what peyton's getting! maybe he can pull one out this season...man i hope so...come on peyton...please!...something...

sorry. i'm rambling. i'll move on.

as per all the posts about the "powerhouse" effect of the midwest...i'm not sure if that's appropriate or even relevant. FIRST will go (or stay) where it makes the most sense to go (or stay). while the midwest does seem to be a hotbed of competition...FIRST means different things to different people. it's kind of the same as was posted earlier about similar designs by region. the same thing happens with philosophy. different regions work FIRST differently. however...it is all about the "I"

I do know (for about as fact as it can be) that Bart Kamen (big d's little brother) has some contact within Eli Lilly (who just started building a new 650 million dollar drug research laboratory) and moving FIRST to Indy would definately help in the recruitment of such a large potential sponsor.
