Turning the Corner

Tuesday, November 11th, 2008

The funny thing about football, both college and pro, is that the season doesn't really come into focus until eight or nine games have been played.  It is easy to write one team off early in the season with a slow start while crowning another team before enough games have ...

Fighting the Irish

Saturday, November 1st, 2008

Wooooooooooo!!!!!!!!! The Pitt team that played the second half of this game today was one of the best Pitt teams we have seen all season.  They did very well on offense.  They held Notre Dame down on defense.  If we hadn't spotted them 14 points to end the first half, Pitt ...

Wednesday, February 20th, 2008

Thursday the now unranked Pitt Panthers face another tough road test when they go into South Bend to play against a very good and under the radar Notre Dame team. With all the attention Pitt has gotten this season since beating Duke and losing two starters, Notre Dame has ...

Two Days Later and Still Reeling

Sunday, February 17th, 2008

Two days have passed since Pitt got embarrassed by Marquette and it hasn't gotten any easier to swallow. I don't know if it is better that it wasn't another close game that they blew, or if it is worse because of the manner in which they got beat. ...
