Just a reminder of how this works since it has been a while.
The liveblog is a moderated chat. That means I will be approving comments. Keep it relatively clean.
In the interest of keeping it from bogging down, not all comments will get through. Especially the repetitive ones. It isn’t personal or about censorship. It’s that 5 consecutive comments that say “wow” or something similar on a great play hardly adds much.
I find that Google Chrome is the best way to use the CIL live blog. I’ve never had to reboot or crash that browser.

good final 2 minutes exceopt tip at buzzer
no fouls on Blair, and Nasir continues to contribute
who was the favorite for this game?
Blair, Young and Dixon played great but can’t think of anyone who played poorly. Brad didn’t have a good 2nd half but played very key role in 1st half when Sam was sitting
The other announcer-related thing that never came up during the game and should have was the absence of Mazzulla. I had forgotten that he was hurt and his absence really hurts the Hoopies. He was kind of the heart of that team…..hustling, driving, drawing fouls etc. etc. Butler is a decent scorer, but Mazzulla was their only penetrator who could get to the hoop and score.
You have to like how the Panther’s remaining schedule is shaping up….many of the tough match-ups are at home and you’ve got Depaul twice, Providence, Cincy and Seton Hall sprinkled in there. I also think Nova and ND were rated way too highly earlier this season……..
Personally, I like to think the Panthers personally, that the Panthers’ beating on the Hoyas took so much wind from Georgetown’s sails, they’re been shaken to the core.
Pitt Football: Pitt QB leaves team
Sunday, January 25, 2009
Pitt reserve quarterback Kevan Smith, a Seneca Valley graduate, has left the football team and will instead play for the Panthers’ baseball team. He was a minor league prospect in baseball coming out of high school.
After three seasons, Smith, a redshirt sophomore, had not progressed and coaches had asked him to move to tight end heading into spring practice.
Two other players with eligibility remaining who are not expected to return are linemen John Bachman (Moon) and Scott Corson (Johnstown).
Notes from the Senior Bowl you may find interesting:
– Pat White was game MVP including a 39 yd TD pass
– Rashad Jenning led in rushing 9 for 41
– Scott McKillop tied for second with 7 tackles (5 solo)
under the ‘taser’ chant for Fields but couldn’t make out the chant when Blair was at the foul line
