I should be positive. I really should. Pitt cracked the top-20. It’s a good thing.

Dion Lewis, unsurprisingly, was the Big East Offensive Player of the Week and is that much closer to being a lock for Newcomer of the Year in the conference.

Dorin Dickerson went from not being on the watchlist to a candidate at the midseason mark for the John Mackey Award given to the best tight end. He’s the only player from the Big East among the 22 candidates.

Homecoming is this weekend, and it becomes a big game. So, the students have led a charge to “Turn it Blue” at Heinz Field.

Heck, money is even being made betting on Pitt.

W is for Wannstache Watch. I won money on an actual legal bet involving cash on Dave Wannstedt. How can something so wrong feel so right? That marks the first time I’ve ever taken a bet on Pitt to win, and has now converted me wholeheartedly into a Pitt wagerer. This is your sign to bet on the other team, because nothing that feels this dirty and wonderful can last.

That part of me that gets wary when too much good stuff happens at once is now screaming. I’m begging the football team and the coaching staff. Don’t miss another opportunity. Don’t let it go ka-boom.
