    There's a Firehouse Subs in McMinnville. Pretty solid.

    There's Potbelly in Beaverton, Hillsboro, Downtown Portland, at PDX.... they're all over Chicago - that's where I first discovered them. A-Wreck FTW!

    You can't say anything with 100% certainty, but this team has invested a lot in him and they are on the clock with Dame's age. They will need to know, quick, if he is a building block for the future or not. He will get time.

    Ah, I haven't lived on the westside in a few years so I have forgotten what's over there (or they were built afterwards). Potbelly is pretty damn good though. Had one a few months ago. I still prefer firehouse, but I love sub sandwiches so I'm not extremely picky and I try all of them.

    If you want a blast from the past there was blimpies and a place called Pogys from the 90s. Pogys was legit so good but they never lasted and I don't know why.

    Best outcome..... he will have the same trajectory as Ant in my opinion. I just can NOT see Billups putting him on the court over vets.

    If this is in fact a 39-win team as you've repeatedly predicted, I see no reason for guys like Winslow and Hart to play ahead of him. I'd like to think that Coach Billups would prioritize the development of a lottery pick over pursuit of the 10th seed.

    Coach main objective is to win. Especially after what Billups had to go through LAST season...he will put vets in there to win. With the talent he has been handed, I believe 39-41 is about right.

    Look bro, I have a fucking pinwheel tattooed on my body....trust me when I tell you I'm a lifelong fan. These people pay my bills. I want them to win. I just REFUSE to get hyped when it isn't warranted.

    I don't go into Hillsboro but knew they had a PB. If the wife passes through Beaverton, she always stops and brings home PB. I haven't had a Blimpie since driving back from SF several years ago, but I do remember Pogy's. That place was great.

    There was a solo sub sandwich shop in inner-NE back in the day. Kinda near Grant as I remember a few Grant HS kids in there during lunch. I was thinking it was on NE Glisan, but I could be wrong.

    Perhaps this was intended for @wizenheimer in the other thread. I know people kid you about the Lakers, but I've never once questioned or impugned your fanhood.

    I will say that in my experience as a fan, it's simply a lot more fun to be hyped about possibility than it is to operate under the assumption that there is none.

    It is sad that our training camp thread has been hijacked by processed meat on bread.
    Now if it was about pizza.......

    yeah bro but this roster hasn't even tipped off once together yet so say what you want but if it looks like buzzkill, smells like buzzkill and sounds like buzzkill I'm calling it BUZZKILL! Explain one day to Dame why getting hyped about winning now isn't warranted.....I'm waiting.....
