Grades aren’t the only indication of brains.

Saturday, June 28th, 2008

Grades are certainly important for student athletes.  Most of them aren't going to be professional athletes, so taking advantage of a free education, especially at a quality university like Pitt, is a smart thing to do.  Having that degree opens up doors that aren't there otherwise.

‘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 ...

Here are some random things I was thinking about as I sit in my hotel still strung out from the redbull[s] I had to drink to get through the 7 hour drive to Kansas City tonight. In regards to just how far this Pitt team has come, I submit the following: ...

7 out of 8 Ain’t Bad… My Favorite Meatloaf Song

Saturday, March 15th, 2008

This Pitt team, the same team that seemed to be falling apart as it neared the end of February, has once again proven why Pitt fans get excited in March and why Jamie Dixon is one of the best coaches around. Somehow, no matter what the situation has been ...
