FOOTBALL: SPRING REVIEW; QB / RB

Wednesday, April 23rd, 2008

When The Prowler asked me to contribute to his Pitt Panther Prowl Blog earlier this year I agreed right away. Then, and as I do with every knee jerk decision I make, I had to sit back and think about what I had gotten myself into. "Not a ...

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: WEEKLY NOTES & SPRING GAME PREVIEW

Thursday, April 17th, 2008

A lot has happened since I last posted on the progress of Spring Camp. Some good; mostly bad. First things first... We have all read about the weekend adventures of Sherod Murdock (rsFR), our apparently overly emotional defensive back. The whole story hasn't been told yet, and without speculating too much ...

PITT FOOTBALL: SPRING SCRIMMAGE #2

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 ...

PITT FOOTBALL SPRING CAMP: WEEKLY NOTES: 4/5

Sunday, April 6th, 2008

OK, it's halfway through the PITT football team's Spring Camp and they have finished their first live scrimmage. So, what have we seen so far... In the scrimmage held yesterday, the defense dominated the offense. I expected it as should every other PITT fan - that's what happens in the beginning ...

PITT FOOTBALL SPRING CAMP: WEEKLY NOTES: 4/1

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 ...

PITT FOOTBALL SPRING CAMP - WRs & TEs

Wednesday, March 19th, 2008

Assuming that PITT finds a competent and consistent passer for 2008, we should be able to utilize what appears to be a strong fleet of receivers. We say ‘appears to be' because it was hard to gauge just how well our receivers who return this season played last year due ...
