PITT FOOTBALL: SPRING GAME RECAP

Tuesday, April 22nd, 2008

Pitt had its annual Blue -Gold Game yesterday and with the exception of some strange mysterious scoring system, it was pretty much fun to watch. As I was driving up from Maryland on Saturday morning - a beautiful day and a lovely drive through the central and western part of Pennsylvania ...

PITT FOOTBALL: SPRING GAME PREVIEW II

Friday, April 18th, 2008

One day until we fans get to see the 2008 version of the PITT Panthers in action. I’m looking forward to the trip over from Maryland, meeting new friends from the message boards and getting a feel of what we can expect going into training camp. All this, of course, ...

Monday, April 14th, 2008

 Two-thirds of the way through Spring Camp and its time to panic! The defense is kicking the crap out of the offense on a regular basis! OK, I'm overstating this - however the defense really is manhandling the O line, but it isn't time to panic just yet (prayer, however ...

Tuesday, April 1st, 2008

First a few personal notes: I apologize for the lack of postings - Coast Guard business reared its head and I was busy with things I get paid an actual salary for. It occurred to me (via my wife's strong suggestion) that I should write these articles in the first person singular ...

Friday, March 21st, 2008

Dave Wannstedt is doing his annual ‘Position Dance' prior to the Spring season and has just now announced some interesting, and hopefully beneficial, moves to bolster some of the weaker parts of PITT's team. Some we saw coming, as Dorin Dickerson has been moved to H-Back from his OLB position ...
