Perhaps Georgia Tech AD Dan Radackovich misremembered?
Or perhaps it was AD Steve Pederson and Assistant Athletic Director/Football Operations Chris LaSala?
You may recall Post-Gazette beat writer Paul Zeise wrote this.
There are rumors flying around the Internet that Pitt and Georgia Tech are nearing a deal to play a home and home in football. As it turns out, they seem to be just that — rumors, and not very credible ones.
How do I know?
I asked Steve Pederson — who in turn asked Chris LaSala — and both laughed as they said they have never spoken with Georgia Tech.
Since I was likely the source thanks to a loyal reader and an Atlanta resident, I couldn’t back up the “rumor” at the time. The station only put the first half of the interview on their site.
Thankfully there are all these technological things like e-mail and mp3s. So, I e-mailed the producer of Mayhem in the A.M. at Sports Radio 790 The Zone in Atlanta, Scott Klug. He was nice enough to send me the MP3 of the second part of their interview with Georgia Tech AD Dan Radakovich.
Here’s the final 1:47 of the interview where they do get into the non-con football schedule.

Is this conclusive that it will happen? No. Does it suggest that Pitt and GT have done more than a little talking? I’d say so.
So, at least now that “rumor” has a source.
I am very grateful for all of your efforts on this site.
Can i call bullshit now?
“In the “Oops†category, receiver Kendall Washington is listed in the Mountaineers ‘ 2008 media guide, headshot and bio and everything on page 94, even though he hasn’t been with the program since May and seemingly won’t be back…”

Seriously, how could he be any more on the time when he was shooting that guy in the head, short of wearing his uniform to the robbery…its bullshit WVU is feeding us. BULLSHIT.
Correct me if I’m wrong, but I am under the impression that Jeff Hafley has NJ as his main recruiting area. It looks like Hafley is proving to be a shrewd promotion thus far.
Regarding possible recruits: What position does the staff feel Covert might play at PITT should he choose to come here? Has he ever played OL in HS?
