First Selectman Rob Mallozzi has been eyeing October 25 in his calendar for a couple of months now. So has Superintendent of Schools Dr. Bryan Luizzi.
The day of the Clemson-Syracuse football game took on special meaning this season, as both teams count supporters among the highest offices in town: Mallozzi’s daughter, Kit, started at ‘Cuse this year, and Luizzi is himself a Clemson grad.
So in August, during an annual gathering of teachers just before school starts, Mallozzi made a point to challenge Luizzi publicly for bragging rights after the big game—and a special, public punishment.
Clemson (ranked 22 nationally) took it, 16-6. See video above for the rest.
