‘08-09 Hoops Expectations

Thursday, April 17th, 2008

I am not the first Pitt blogger to notice and comment on the high expectations that many in the media have heaped on our Pitt Panthers basketball team for next year. After reading on Oakland Zoo and Pitt Blather about the brackets that Joe Lunardi had put out for ...

End of Hoops Season Thoughts

Monday, March 24th, 2008

This is the worst kind of post to have to write. 64 of 65 teams end their season with their bloggers writing these kind of posts, so I know I am not alone. But it sucks to have to say goodbye to a season. There have been a lot ...

Great Pitt Game

Friday, March 21st, 2008

The Pitt-Oral Roberts game was everything that a Pitt fan (and nothing that an Oral Roberts fan) could want. ORU was in the game for about 5 minutes. They were actually up 13-10. Then Pitt went on an 18-0 run and slammed the door on any idea ...

Big East Champs, Baby!!

Saturday, March 15th, 2008

Thursday, March 13th, 2008

Despite the criticism this Pitt team has faced in recent weeks, even from its own "fans", somehow they have found a way to regain their early season swagger and bring some magic to MSG for the second night in a row. Defense has been the major concern. Last ...

Long Overdue Post-Depaul Thoughts

Monday, March 10th, 2008

There is a lot to be excited about after Pitt's 98-79 win over DePaul yesterday. Sure, DePaul is a bottom feeder in the conference. But Pitt hasn't looked great even against bottom feeders lately. At this point in the season, heading into the post-season, it isn't about ...

So Dreadfully Sweet

Saturday, March 1st, 2008

First of all, I just have to ask the question: Why did I get stuck at a meeting 3 hours from home during this game? When I finally got in my car and got the satellite radio on, Pitt was down 11 with 3 minutes to go and ...
